I was able to get a barcode to claim a packet of chips at any Woolworths store (except for Woolworths Online, MetroGo, and Metro stores) between 21st October, 2020 and closing time on 3rd November, 2020.

Right now freezers all over Australia contain dangerously bland chips, just waiting to ruin your dinner. These pale and soggy imitations are giving good chips like ours a bad name.

So for the sake of your meal, we urge you to stop consuming these inferior chips immediately and we'll provide you a bag of deliciously crisp McCain Pub Style Extra Crispy Chips instead.

SAY NO TO BAD CHIPS, SAY YES TO MCCAIN PUB STYLE.

Upload a photo of some bland chips you've made and your details below to claim your free McCain Pub Style Extra Crispy Chips.

Be quick! Only 10,000 vouchers available. Voucher valid from 21st October, 2020 until 3rd November, 2020.

    So if you have multiple vouchers, do you just go to self service checkout and put them through all in 1 transaction? or do you need to separate the transactions to 1 per transaction?

    • Sheng on 22/10/2020 - 23:27

      I mean the beer batter are 50% already so I think it would be expected. Probably short life products and using a campaign to get rid of stock looking at it now.

        I don't think so. They've had a pretty massive online marketing campaign advertising these Pub Style chips. On Foxtel almost every ad break.

      I wonder if McCain's marketing creatives are awaiting the results of the soggy and disappointing chip images to use in their next marketing campaign. I hope so.

  • non-core promise on 23/10/2020 - 02:04

    To anyone spamming the form with frivolous entries:

    It might be a good idea to at least attempt to blend in with the crowd. Clause 6 of their Ts&Cs say:

    The Promoter reserves the right, at any time, to verify the validity of claims and
    claimant’s (including a claimant’s identity, age and place of residence) and
    reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual who the
    Promoter has reason to believe has breached any of these Terms and Conditions,
    tampered with the claim process or engaged in any unlawful or other improper
    misconduct calculated to jeopardise fair and proper conduct of the promotion.
    Errors and omissions may be accepted at the Promoter's discretion. Failure by the
    Promoter to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of
    those rights. The Promoter's legal rights to recover damages or other
    compensation from such an offender are reserved.

    So I would suggest people add some variety if they're uploading stock photos of chips, make up some boring/realistic names that don't stand out too much, etc. Tomorrow is still a working day (Friday). There's every chance they will try to cancel the barcodes of entries that are clearly frivolous, like pictures that don't contain chips, names like "Dorothy the Dinosaur", etc.

    As for legal consequences, I wouldn't worry too much unless you have set up a bot to claim a large proportion of the barcodes and/or are selling them for any amount of money.

      I imagine they would send out a max of 10,000 barcodes and expect 75% or less to actually be claimed as opposed to sending out more barcodes than that and then limiting it to 10,000 bags to be claimed.

    phishing site?
    now that i think about it, it seems unlikely that mccain would spend extra money to purchase the domain mccainpromo when they already own mccain.com.au which they already own. a quick google search of mccainpromo gave me nothing so theres a really high chance this is a phishing site. even so this is just a theory and i may be wrong.
