Okay, I'll post this a day early. I think I have enough tickets now.

This is today's upcoming deal for Amex Connect (at 12:00pm). I am not a rep, a few of us on the forums figured out how to get this info early.

Gold Class Movie Tickets, buy 1, get 3 free. $39 for 4 tickets, saving $117. Free postage via Australia Post (ordinary, not registered).
Tickets expire 30 March 2013.
Valid at Event, Birch Carroll & Coyle and Village cinemas.

You're meant to need a bank issued (ANZ, CBA, NAB, Westpac) Amex but in reality it simply DOES NOT MATTER.
I have used a non-bank issued Amex to buy a whole bunch of stuff from Amex Connect already. Just select any bank when asked.

I don't know how many will be available but the first batch had 700 lots, the second batch had 400 lots.

So the link was meant to be: http://www.amexconnect.com.au/OfferDetails.aspx?OfferId=47
BUT, if yesterday's deal is anything to go by, it might change so I suggest you simply bookmark http://www.amexconnect.com.au

TIPS for those crying about not being able to purchase anything:
Use a decent fixed broadband internet connection, not some mobile "broadband" rubbish.
Have your credit card number saved in the clipboard so you can just Ctrl-V it (or if your name is really really long, maybe have that saved instead).
At around 11:45, go to the site, click on Your Profile, log in again when prompted by the pseudo-popup, and leave the browser open.
Open up your system clock. It should be sync'ed to an internet time server, just as Amex Connect's server is. When it hits 12:00:00pm, refresh the page. No earlier.
Maybe open another tab loading the page every 5-10 seconds, but leave the current one going. Don't hit refresh.
Once one starts loading, close all others.
Do this for the first click (View Deal), and second click (Buy Now).
TYPE FAST.

T&C will state one purchase per person per account per card per day per whatever.
However, if you have multiple accounts you can purchase multiple times, just use different details in the top box of checkout.
Delivery name / address can be the same, credit card details can be the same.
You will need multiple accounts now as the email address field is not editable as it was during the first batch of tickets. To pull this off, have multiple browsers / computers pre-logged in from different accounts (will likely sell out before you can switch accounts).

This is the last daily deal by Amex Connect (unless they extend it).
Thanks for the great ride, American Express. Cheers for the bargains.

(substituting 47 following the obvious pattern), redirecting to 48 until 12:00pm SHARP
but today's tablet tricked us by jumping to 118 (random)

    Thanks a lot OP. Finally score 1 deal this time. I didn't get to the order confirmation page was loading forever then when I looked in my email the magical confirmation email is there. :O

    • junfila on 30/03/2012 - 13:46

      First thing I did was looking in the email… almost 2 hrs passed still no email :( i hope magic appears for me soon :)

  • cheeseboy on 30/03/2012 - 13:34

    For all those that asked, I took my first set of vouchers ( I managed to get three sets) into Village Doncaster Gold Class (Melbourne) and they accepted them with no questions. Off to see Hunger games with the family tonight.

    You can't book for Village Gold Class using these vouchers online. So you have to actually go into the box office to book and get your tickets. A bit of a pain, but still well worth it…

    • guidedlight on 30/03/2012 - 14:56

      Thanks for verifying.

    • motlking on 30/03/2012 - 16:11

      doesn't it say on the leaflet that you can book online using the vouchers?

      • solar eclipse on 30/03/2012 - 17:14

        The T&C state that the vouchers cannot be used to book online for Village Cinemas in VIC/TAS.
        Call village (VIC/TAS) 1300 555 400 if you want to make a booking with the vouchers ahead of time.

  • heathwithnoteeth on 30/03/2012 - 13:40

    my work network conveniently went down 1 min after i hit buy it now… grrr

  • PlasticSpaceman on 30/03/2012 - 17:00

    Got to the final submit page where no doubt it was checking the card details, and it timed out. Managed to get to the same page three times, and each time it just timed out on that last stage. Twice from work, and once from home (using Teamviewer on a pc there). Very much a lottery, and also annoying….

    • PlasticSpaceman on 10/04/2012 - 10:36

      Double checked then, and indeed have also been charged $39 - no email, no 'phone call…. will wait and see if anything turns up. Not the best form, but at least with Amex you can be fairly confident that you can get the money back if you don't get the tickets….

  • GerrardLFC on 30/03/2012 - 18:20

    Everytime I tried to make payment it kept saying Fraud error also :(

    It did not happen when I purchased previous deals from other days.

  • joeeeee on 30/03/2012 - 18:45

    it seems for me payment did go through but have not received a confirmation email. Anyone else?

    • Melbournian on 30/03/2012 - 18:56

      I received the confirmation email with the order number.

      • joeeeee on 30/03/2012 - 19:31

        hmm sent a query to amex and said pinpoint will be in touch?

    • bluedufflecoat on 31/03/2012 - 08:03

      yes, that happened with me. It's gone through (not just reserved funds) on my CC. But no email yet.

      • Chongy288 on 02/04/2012 - 20:34

        it has happened to me too?? have you guys resolved this? did you get a ticket?

        • bluedufflecoat on 03/04/2012 - 10:41

          think everyone here said it will take about a week. I've not received the email that some of the OzBargainers here have said they received about getting their order processed manually, so I have sent a follow up email.

      • minniethemoocher on 04/04/2012 - 17:07

        How did you go? I have sent a e-mail to Amex connect got the standard reply. Transaction is on credit card transaction but no e-mail.

        • bluedufflecoat on 05/04/2012 - 14:45

          they asked me for my phone number… then since then they've called twice to say that they will check in the back end… and second to confirm the delivery address. So hopefully, I'll get something next week.

  • Melbournian on 30/03/2012 - 18:58

    When do we actually receive the tickets?

    1 week?

    Want to use them to see Hunger Games

    • superklue on 30/03/2012 - 19:03

      My email says within 28 days of purchase.

    • cooni on 30/03/2012 - 19:11

      28 days is what is quoted, in reality we've gotten tickets after a week.

  • mlburnian on 30/03/2012 - 19:15

    negging this deal as the payment went through, only to say out of stock, cr card statement still says pending, but no confirmation email…

    • Chongy288 on 02/04/2012 - 20:51

      has this been worked out yet? i got charged but no confirmation as well..

  • takezo on 02/04/2012 - 13:08

    I never received an email for this but my payment went through. Just got an email saying they were processing my order manually. So I assume everyone else will get theirs also.

    • minniethemoocher on 02/04/2012 - 14:27

      Did you contact them or did they contact you? My payment has gone through according to my bank but Friday's purchases haven't appeared on my transaction list, so I haven't emailed them yet. Might have to.

      • takezo on 02/04/2012 - 15:58

        I contacted them on Friday, and they just called me now and processed the order manually. I'm guessing you need to contact them, as they actually needed to get all my credit card and address details again. None of that information got captured on Friday.

        Pretty dodgy.

        • minniethemoocher on 02/04/2012 - 16:08

          Thanks I will. I wonder if you will get charged twice? You (like me) had your payment go through.

  • GerrardLFC on 02/04/2012 - 14:41

    I received an email they are going to call me to process my tickets manually :)

  • Strange1 on 02/04/2012 - 19:41

    I also got the same email that they will process it manually.

    Still feel a bit funny about someone calling me, and me giving them my credit card details.

    • Chongy288 on 02/04/2012 - 21:02

      when did this happen?

      • Strange1 on 03/04/2012 - 16:07

        They called up today. Hope i didn't just fall for a Nigerian scam.

        • bluedufflecoat on 03/04/2012 - 16:34

          Me too.

        • GerrardLFC on 03/04/2012 - 17:17

          What number did you get called from?

          I got called from 02-93523110, checked it is from pinpoint group

        • Strange1 on 03/04/2012 - 22:11

          Yup thats the same number as me.

        • bluedufflecoat on 05/04/2012 - 14:46
          +1

          same number. guy called dean.

    • minniethemoocher on 03/04/2012 - 22:13

      So I have definitely paid, it showed up on my credit card today as a purchase on Friday to Amexconnet but I have not received an e-mail confirming it. Did they say If they get your credit card details again are they going to charge you again or is it just cross reference who the payment belongs to?

      • takezo on 04/04/2012 - 13:51

        Not sure exactly how it works but I get the feeling that the first charge only went through as a pending authorisation, and that because of the site crashing it would not be completed. As I said they actually needed all details so nothing appears to have been captured through the site. Probably best to mail them.

  • mlburnian on 05/04/2012 - 23:48

    seems that I have been charged the $39 without getting any confirmation email! not happy…anyone know the contact email? Doesnt seem to be one mentioned on the website..cheers

    • minniethemoocher on 06/04/2012 - 19:32

      That's happened to a lot of us. If you want to contact them you need to go to amexconnect.com.au and pick the contact us option and fill in your details. I have done this but I haven't got a reply yet from the company that manages it, Pinpoint. Crossing my fingers that they just forgot to send the e-mail and I get the tickets next week.

      • mlburnian on 09/04/2012 - 09:36

        thanks, pretty poor practice if you ask me…

  • lostn on 11/04/2012 - 23:24

    Oh my god.. my card got charged for this, even though I never got any confirmation or my tickets. :(

    The web page crashed before it could confirm the sale but it already took my money. :(

    If they don't give me a refund I will dispute the charge with my bank.

    • melmac77 on 12/04/2012 - 00:20

      It happened to a few other people read the comments above yours just drop them an email and they will process the tickets manually

    • bluedufflecoat on 12/04/2012 - 12:12

      They sent an email today, saying that you had until today to tell them whether you want the tix or not. If not, they will automatically refund your money.

  • Domingo on 13/04/2012 - 08:29

    Received mine yesterday from a regular transaction. Ie, paid and confirmed via standard ordering process, no manual steps once submitted.

  • Reckin on 16/04/2012 - 11:00

    Received my tickets in the mail

  • takezo on 18/04/2012 - 09:56

    You may want to check your statements, as I've discovered today that I have been double charged for this.

  • GerrardLFC on 20/04/2012 - 00:55

    I got my tickets today :)

  • Strange1 on 20/04/2012 - 10:49

    Got mine yesterday - through the manual method. Only got charged once. Alls well that ends well.

    • Chongy288 on 23/04/2012 - 11:00

      Thanks for sharing, i hope mine will be arriving today then.

  • PlasticSpaceman on 24/04/2012 - 10:33

    Well, had $39 taken from my card on 30/3, got no emails from them either confirming that they had taken the money or giving an option for tickets or refund, and just checked & $39 has just been credited back onto the card on 20/4. So not out of pocket, but did waste a fair amount of time on this. Personally I feel as though they have reneged on the deal they had advertised…. I can understand refunding money where someone might have been charged more than once, but when someone had paid for the item the default should not be to just refund the money.

    I suspect that the site is run by Spreets, so being a third party if their system accepted payments but lost the contact details then they would have an issue…. they should however have been able to send the name & card details to Amex to then have them contact the members….. at the very least, an apology could have been sent out to people who had joined the site.

    • bluedufflecoat on 26/04/2012 - 13:46

      I would have sent an enquiry soon after 30/3 (which I did). They called, and took my details. Then sent a mass email saying you have to let them know if you still want the tix, otherwise they will refund the money… I said I'd already been contacted, and they apologized for contacting me twice… and nearly two weeks later (should have been about 1), I finally got the tix.

  • bluedufflecoat on 26/04/2012 - 13:43

    after waiting over 3 weeks… they finally arrived!!

  • GerrardLFC on 26/04/2012 - 16:48

    Yeah I got my 4 free tickets today also ;)
