Technically you get a $30 Vodafone starter pack for FREE when you get $10 Coles eGift sent via txt after activation prior 1/7/22.
Order by 14 June. Discount ends 28 June. Activate by 1 July.
eGift will be sent to you within 7 business days after activation. Enjoy FREE 5G ;)
Maybe VF fixed the issue. The SMS for porting may have an expiry time?
Maybe.. has anyone received the eGift Card on their ported number?
Haven't got mine and it's been 2 days
Can we get 2 ×$10 gift card if we port two different numbers under same name
Yes as long as you have bought 2 SIM cards from Coles.
It’s basically 1 x gift card per 1 x SIM ($30 or $40).
7 days and no gift card here. Anyone else?
Business days?
6 then.
4 business days and no eGC.. Wednesday evening is my deadline
Hi mate if you’ve not yet received your gift card, please PM me your email address, I will contact you directly this afternoon.
Hi, I sent you a couple of emails and haven't heard back yet. Can you reply when you get a chance?
Hi mate, I have emailed you a voucher just now. Thanks for your patience.
Cheers.
Got my gift card within minutes!!
Brilliant! New number or port in?
Port in, but I started my activation at around 10pm and porting didn’t even start.
Was the gift card sent to the default Vodafone number or your ported number?
@TomGun
Me 2
Didn't port in, just used number offered to me by Vodafone.
Cheers.
Hi mate if you’ve not yet received your gift card, please PM me your email address, I will contact you directly this afternoon. I work for Vodafone.
Same.. a couple of days ago I emailed [email protected] and reached out to user @JohnnoT6 from the past deal thread, but haven't received a reply. Does anyone know of any other avenues to have this resolved?
Some possible reasons that I can think of:
It was not purchased from a Coles store during the promo period. Maybe you have a few at home and activated the wrong one.
The Coles store may not be listed under participating locations by VF somehow, due to negligence or a recently established store. In other words, all purchases made in this store have this issue.
I'll activate mine on the 29th or 30th.
For me:
1. Purchased during promo period.
2. Purchased at store not listed as ineligible in T&Cs, albeit could be internal system error as you said.
Hi everyone, if you’re having any problems receiving your vouchers please DM me and I can help (work for vodafone).
Have sent you a DM.
Will be interested to see if you can help seeing as no-one could help me with the last promo. Will reply back here letting everyone know either way. Thanks.
Hey @Webber000 I've replied and I will get this resolved for you today. Cheers.
Did you finally get your $10 Coles gift card from Voda?
I have received the gift card. @JohnnoT6 Thanks, really appreciate you going out of your way to sort this out!
Yes @JohnnoT6 did get back to me and has emailed it to me.
Thanks JohnnoT6 - really good that you managed to sort this out
Also, this deal has not expired!
It is active until 28/06
Activated Prepaid Plus with new number. No sign of the $10 Coles gift card. Pretty much in line with my "hit and miss" experience with Voda.
Hi mate, I contacted you directly within 3 hours of receiving your DM.
I've sent you a voucher and given instructions on what to do with your other one (as it's not activated yet).
Not sure how this equates to "hit and miss" experience, please let me know if there's anything more I can do.
"Hit and miss" experience refers to no sign of the SMS on the Coles $10 gift card after activation which is not in accordance to the T&C promo. It was the same for previous promotion.
Your prompt support to send the gift card via email definitely have made the difference and the OzB community appreciates. Thanks again for your help.
I also Activated 2x $30 Vodafone SIMS yesterday.
Neither have recieved the $10 Coles card yet.
I emailed [email protected] but no reply.
Seems like a dodgy promo.
Yep agree - they've done this several times before and theres always loads of people who don't get the gift cards so Coles should just not allow them to do it when they can't do it properly. I didn't buy it this time as I was "scammed" last time!
I also never got a reply from prepaiddirect so they will probably ignore you too!
But please send an ozbargain direct message to @JohnnoT6 - review the other posts above and you will see he works for Vodafone and he actually did reply to me and gave me the gift voucher. So while the rest of vodafone isn't able to send a gift voucher or reply to an email this guy actually does care and I doubt its his job to patrol ozbargain so he is probably going out of his way to help us all!
You can click on his name in one of the posts above and then in the popup click "Start Conversation" (if you have DM turned off in your settings you will need to change your ozbargain settings first) and he will probably reply to you the next time he's at work.
Hi mate, thanks, happy to help.
Just to clarify, this is not “dodgy promo”. There are a small pool of service numbers that are blocking the generated TXTs from landing. We have successfully sent 10s of thousands of vouchers to customers across the last 3 promotions like this.
Again, apologies you’ve had to wait for your voucher, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything further. Cheers.
TCs state up to 7 business days post activation.
Please Pm me after that time if you’ve not received any vouchers and I will sort it for you.
It’s funny that I got the $10 voucher but the other day I went to use it but can’t find the sms. Anyone else experienced this?
Hi mate, I've sent you a DM. Cheers.
Got the eGC SMS 6 days after activation on a ported number.
Got my eGC 7days SMS after activation on a new number.
Activated on Sunday 26/6/22 but still haven't received my eGift. Please could you help JohnnoT6, I have sent you a PM. Thanks.
Hey @Bfimmortal, I've emailed you a egift card. Cheers!
Got the gift card successfully through email. Thank you JohnnoT6, appreciate your help and support!
Good to hear, thanks bfimmortal. Enjoy mate.
Hi, JonnoT6.
I sent you a PM two days ago.
I still haven't got my 2x eGIFT cards.
Please reply.
Seems like a dodgy Vodafone promo.
JohnoT6 was on 3 hours ago and hasn't replied to any emails I've sent him.
Hi @rockabyurbear I've sent @JohnnoT6 a message and hopefully he will see it and get back to you. Maybe he didn't get your message for some reason - he went out of his way to help me so give him another day or two fingers crossed.
Hi @Rockabyurbear,
I've sent you a PM and an email relating to your vouchers.
Thanks
still yet to receive my Coles $10 eGift Card -_-
@JohnnoT6
I activated on Sunday evening and have not accepted the port out until I receive the eGC SMS. Default Vodafone number is active and can receive calls, SMS etc.
I'll continue to update here until I receive my eGC
