    So my payment cleared, I received emails confirming my order and it shows under purchases in the app, but I only get the Oops you were not one of the first 1000 to score a $5 Shopback Super Swap Gift Card this time round screen when I attempt to view the voucher.

    Anyone else not able to see their voucher either? Maybe delayed?

    • +2

      Same. Means you're going to get your money back on the entry you purchased, plus at best 10c.

      • +3

        They can fk that idea right off! Taking payment is acceptance of the order.

    i understand now.
    we pay now $5 to get it back $5 after few weeks.
    and we get free entry to the draw.
    there is no voucher guys/girls. this is purely money laundering

    • +1

      Definition of Money Laundering:

      "The illegal process of making large amounts of money generated by a criminal activity, such as drug trafficking or terrorist funding, appear to have come from a legitimate source."

      Now I'm no lawyer… but I would advise against confessing your $5 came from criminal activity.

    Yep, charged, $5 tracked and the "oops" message when trying to view voucher

    Dearie me.. I can't even see my voucher. No idea what it says. I just get this (numbers removed from url for privacy)

    Web page not available
    The web page at market://details?id=com.shopback.app&_branch_match_id=&referrer=link_click_id could not be loaded because:

    What a scam promotion, it should have really stopped after the 1000 allocation were sold. Why would I pay (even with a cashback) to enter a draw to win $314. No doubt this was used by shopback to report to shareholders on account activity.

    • -1

      Mate, we have 2,000 orders that were entered into the competition.
      We don't need 2,000 orders to make our stakeholders happy.

      Additionally, please refer to my comment here.

      Cheers!

  • Haha…didn’t even bother. 😆

  • +8

    Either you tell me it has been sold out and I would stop trying which also lowers your server pressure, or you start a new campaign named "Pi Day Lucky Draw" for those who are interested to join (which personally wouldn't). It's kind frustrtating and time wasting when you thought you got the deal in the first 4 minutes after game started then checked back later only to find it's a small amount loan to Shopback.

    • +4

      What gets me is it indicated they were still available when i purchased

      I didn't need to retry payment either so it wasn't that i was slow

      • +1

        Exactly. I would neg this "deal" if I knew it would operate like this. Ended up more of a scam than deal.

    • Can’t agree more! When 1000 sold out, they should stop processing any other order!

  • +1

    Another waste of time. Tried about 20 times, kept getting server errors, by the time it finally went through it was sold out.

  • +2

    Total prizes: 1

    So basically, It's borrowing $5 from us without paying any interesting fee and giving us back the borrowed $5 a few days/weeks later.

    • -3

      hey, you got entry to the draw!

      • But there will be only ONE winner.

      • +2

        You gotta be kidding, right?
        Then this thread should be under competitions.
        Folks came here for free money.

        • +1

          And 1000 folks got it. Yes, it sucks to not be one of those 1000 - life sucks.

    • Wrong. Total prizes: 1,001

  • i wonder how come a company as big as SB, they never learned of their mistake, would it be hard to test the promo first? like they can have 10 of their employees to try it one week before, make sure all good?

    • Make yourself a millionaire with a solution of 100 seagulls going for 1 chip.
      Plenty of major companies have the same problem .
      The seagull has a easy solution only ;)

      • really? you think SB doesnt have test environment? the developers just code, someone look at it and approve and then go live ?

        • One can’t test for OzBargain… it’s a developer’s worst nightmare

          • @tharlow: just one person can test and he/she will found out that system didnt generate the voucher.
            and will see "you get 100% cashback" on one page but then "oops" on the other.
            even 15yo can be the tester

    • +1

      Mate, we don't have thousands of employees at our disposal to run this in our test environment.
      You've oversimplified things to fit the idea you have in your mind.

  • +1

    Anyways nothing loss nothing gained. Just hit "marked as used" to hide the pain. ($5 will be back by 25th)

    • If only drugs worked that quickly…

  • +9

    @gotyourback

    So… care to explain WTF is going on with Shopback taking our money if the plan is to only to refund it back?

    • We made a purchase
    • Shopback accepted the purchase
    • Money was taken from our accounts
    • Our orders was completed and terms of sale were fulfilled

    If I see a refund of that money back in my account and a cancellation of the order (despite receiving emails to confirm it was successful) you can be damn sure ACCC will be contacted by myself and others.

    The things people (in a rich country) will do for $5… makes me ashamed to be human

    • +1

      It's a game. I had to do it, or risk losing OzB membership. I built my day around it!
      But that doesn't mean that I am so 'tight' that I don't give to charities. And so, no, I am not ashamed.

    I know it's only $5 and we're going to get it back, but man that was a really disappointing experience (thinking I'd scored a free $5 giftcard only to click on it and see nope you didn't). Let's not do that again.

    And can we please put chewy on the shoes of whoever came up with the idea for this execution. Terrible

    • +5

      Agreed, worst promo ever. Should just sell out and not let you buy it after the first 1000 people have scored one

      • worst promo ever

        Perhaps you can soon score a deal on a better imagination

  • +2

    Calm down everyone. I'm sure Gyb will do right by ozbargainers and come back and tell everyone who managed to purchase they will honour the $5 cashback, won't you GYB?

    • but why always fixing the problem instead of preventing? (by testing it and ask around if this is a good marketing plan before executing)

      • +1

        I was always taught to be reactive, not proactive. I think. Anyway, it works for me

    Hold on, so I missed out on the cash back but instead of just getting a $5 gift card I get an entry into a draw so win $300? This is a joke right?

    • +2

      You should get the $5 cashback but no GC only entry to the comp.

    • -2

      You bought a $5 gift card so you will get a $5 gift card. You just missed out on getting 100% of it back however you are in the drawer for $314. In either case you get the $5 gc that you purchased. Is that clear

      • +1

        That is NOT the promotion smh

        • -2

          If I’m wrong then shopback have every right to be blasted, but I doubt it. Due to the sheer number of purchases it may take a while for your Gift card to come through, but it will eventually

    Wait I checked my account again and I actually got the $5 GC :)
    My parents didn't get it though and got the draw message instead

  • I tried from 3:14pm but kept getting payment errors. Finally got it at 3:19pm but only an entry!

    Interestingly, the card I was using started coming up with a this card is not eligible error at 3:17pm so I switched cards. Turns out the original card has got two pending transactions from Shopback even though got an error message that payment didn't go through every time.

    • -1

      Gotta know when to hold them and when to fold them

  • +1

    How could 1000 purchases have been made within 4 mins? I got in at 3.18pm, paid $5 & received an entry into a competition.

    • +1

      Could go in less than 1 minute if everyone gets in at 3.14pm and buys. Happened with others before.

    • Easy… this is the mighty OzBargain… home of the cheapskate

    Here is another thought, instead of the $314 winning entry/ lottery, you could have satisfied at least 62 users $5 purchases with 100% cashbacks (total 1062 users instead of 1000).

    • +2

      people will still complain..

    • +1

      you could have satisfied at least 62 users

      A rather promiscuous thought…

    • Where did you pull that magic number (62) out of?
