Received a Pizza Hut cashback offer though SMS yesterday. Deleted it but I'm sure I'm not the only one who received it. Saw this morning that they claim they won't don't this. Sad.

    This is a good point. I received a promotional Boxing Day text from them on Saturday. It must be nice to have a policy and then totally ignore it.

        Wouldn't bet on it. I always put my name as Dougie for Pizza Hut orders.

    how are you 100% certain it is due to Cashrewards?
    I have not got a single marketing SMS ever

      true, though another family member received the same sms. it was the pizza hut deal.

        That is pretty conclusive!

      • skido on 29/12/2020 - 10:23

        "best boxing day EVER" is an overstatement :p

        • netjock on 29/12/2020 - 10:36

          It isn't false if you are talking about your profits.

    • Pecan on 29/12/2020 - 08:15

      Do you have 2FA enabled on your account?
      I got the Boxing Day text as well, promoting their cashback offers for the day.

      • apsilon on 29/12/2020 - 09:07

        I have 2FA enabled and have never received a message from them.

        I have a long password and didn't get their pizza hut offer via SMS, only the generic "have a pizza on us" email.

        • follow on 29/12/2020 - 12:54

          Long password here as well, might have to do with activity.

            @follow: Honestly, doubt the SMS is because 2FA is off or password is short.

  • loulou1 on 29/12/2020 - 08:19

    I got some messages but they were click frenzy initiated rather than cash rewards
    , are you sure they were sent by CashRewards?

    • djkelly69 on 29/12/2020 - 10:14

      Sender says Cashrewards and bit.ly address takes you to Cashrewards website so seems likely to be them.

      • loulou1 on 29/12/2020 - 10:15

        Have to admit I was lazy and didn’t click the links. Thanks for clarifying.

    Silence from TA <cricket chirping>

      That is the sound of a privacy policy being very quickly updated

    • avoidfullprice on 29/12/2020 - 10:36

      Will there now be a CR heckler/troll who will periodically post "answer me about your privacy breach", "stop ignoring me TA!" ?

      I didn't get the SMS so I cannot apply for the role.

          Sigh. TA has been great. We ought to cut TA some slack!

      • ChillBro on 30/12/2020 - 06:24

        It really is interesting how different CR is treated compared to SB even though the SB breach wasn't their fault.

          Failing to maintain proper security IS your fault.

          • ChillBro on 30/12/2020 - 16:29

            @dualcore: Do you know for a fact that SB's security is worse than CR's?

        Seems fair, although much like the Shopback privacy breach, they'll just have to keep offering deals and it will be forgotten about in a few weeks.

    They broke the their own policy, is that a contract? Can they be sued??

      What are you suing them for?

      They can probably get an infringement fine.

      • orangetrain on 29/12/2020 - 15:01

        Really? I'll suggest this to marketing to do it too. We need a way to drum up business. The fine doesn't sound like much.

    Contact them. Their response is usually on point if you have a problem. THEN moan if you are ticked off and block them.

    • follow on 30/12/2020 - 10:07

      seems futile to contact them. i just sent the STOP message but later saw that they said they wouldn't send promo messages to your number.

    ACCC ? Seems a simple binary that they could follow up on.

    WARNING… after enduring a barrage of intrusive marketers, phone, text, email, etc, I decided to cancel my phone number and obtain a completely new one.
    Silly me thought an OzBargain own inducement would be safe enough… suddenly, now I receive phone calls that when you ring back…. "no longer are connected"…. who are these people?

    • follow on 30/12/2020 - 10:59

      probably telemarketers/scammers

  • dualcore on 30/12/2020 - 15:51

    To be fair the free pizza promo is a good one. Who doesn’t like free pizza.

    • saltypete on 30/12/2020 - 17:24

      There’s no such thing as a free pizza……
