Can You Just Get Multiple Kogan First Memberships?

witsa on 07/11/2022 - 00:21

I already used my 14 day free trial previously so was looking to join for a month as it's cheaper to than paying shipping for a mechanical keyboard I want to buy.

But it seems the only option is to buy a whole year in advance for $79.

So then I just signed up with a new account - different email but same mobile, address and name and to my surprise it worked.

Does that mean I can basically just create a new account every time I want to buy anything from them?

I hardly ever buy anything off Kogan so it's not worth me buying an annual membership.

    Nekminnit, OP's new post: Kogan charged me a whole year's membership and refuses to refund!

      Turned off the auto payment on PayPal so no way they can charge me even if they want to

      Lol yeah bit melodramatic.

      At most it might constitute a breach of their terms and conditions. I doubt I will be arrested for signing up to a website twice.

    I went to the shops last Wednesday and they were giving out free bananas! I took one, it was delicious - I nearly ate the whole thing!

    I went again on Thursday and they weren't offering any for free. I looked over and I could see they had some for sale but…. BUT you had to buy a whole banana and I was only really wanting a bite of one. So I just grabbed one and took a few bites. I think no one noticed! I did have glasses on so it's unlikely they'd recognise me.

    Does this mean I can just keep walking in and eating a free banana?

    I hardly ever finish a whole banana so it's not worth me paying for a whole one.

      kogan has no qualms gouging customers, so why not?

      • iDroid on 07/11/2022 - 10:31

        No one is forcing anyone to shop at Kogan.

        I hate Kogan as much as the next person and I purchase very little from them as the rarely offer good value.

        But that doesn't make it right to defraud them.

          Just curious - are you this outraged when you see someone on ozb
          - share their netflix password or share a family account with random strangers on the net
          - VPN into another country to buy Google One
          - Create a second account to subscribe to the Samsung newsletter to get the sign up voucher
          - Create a second facebook account for their Oculus Quest

          Just trying to figure out where the line is - cause all i did was set up a second account. All of these other things - you'd equally be in breach of these companies terms of service.

            @witsa: Outraged?

            Er, no - I was having some fun pointing out a similar thought process that is obviously not the right thing to do.

            Am I outraged? Hell no.

            Do I ever do things that are not the right thing to do? Yes.

            But I still don't think it's not the right thing to do and wouldn't go about boasting about my indiscretions.

      … I was only really wanting a bite of one. So I just grabbed one and took a few bites.

      I don't get it - you said that you only wanted "a bite", but then you said that you took a few bites? 😋

        I'm greedy like that - the ol' bait-and-switch.

    Kogan credit card comes with free first membership.

  • povertytrap on 07/11/2022 - 19:28

    Great card, use it for almost all my purchases and have no problems redeeming my points as so many Ozb deals. Great to have Kogan First membership permanently free.
