    I suppose they’ve learnt there lesson from last time offering actual money rather than a store credit for a selected product which only one can be redeemed per transaction.

    Rather stupid.

  • +2

    Just a headsup, if you have the app still loaded from last time, you need to update it from the app store otherwise it wont show the cooler for you to swipe the ice off to play

  • +1

    No free drinks for NSW, no alternative prizes it seems and no $10 beer sipcoins. BWS is normally quite expensive so we'll see if the sipcoins actually do much.

    Ah well there's always the 0.000001% of getting a decent prize.

  • I actually love this comp each year, just got a $5 beer sip coin which I used to get a 6pk of James Squire Broken Shackles Lager Bottles for $6.75.

  • -5

    Downloaded app which is utterly crappy. No cooler. Will delete app and never use it or BWS again.

  • +2

    Played it 3 times and have got a win each time, $7 wine, $7 spirit, free bottle of zero beer.

    • Similar for me - 3 swipes for 3 prizes. I remember same, same for last year - Lotsa wins early, then big drought as the weeks went by.

    • +1

      Speak for yourself I've only got 2/6 wins, and they were only $5 wine and $7 spirit sipcoins (I don't drink wine and spirits are more expensive at BWS)

  • +1

    No issues so far. just grand prize entries no sip coins for me. Glad they let team members play other company's I've worked for bar employees from entering even though prizes are drawn and random and we are customers to.

    Foxxster there was an issue on the first day but its been resolved now.

  • I've received sipcoins for beers and premixed drinks. I'll be off to buy some beer soon, doubt I'll used the premixed one.

    • +1

      I redeemed my $5 sipcoin for a case of beer tonight, no issues using it in store, it was all quite straightforward.

  • +6

    I got a $25 adrenalin voucher (Min spend $250). I won't be using it so if anyone will use it then shoot me a message and I'll send it your way

    • +1

      And a $35 voucher too (minimum spend $350). Don't love how they advertise that in their total prize pool because you can use SP350S10 for 10% off orders over $350, which will actually net a better discount than the voucher lol. But if anyone wants it, then just shoot me a message and I'll whip it your way!

  • +1

    Anyone have issues redeeming a prize? I had no issues with redeeming a sipcoin, but I won a 6-pack and when I went to redeem it came up with an error message saying I had a bad connection and to try again. Had the error multiple times trying to redeem In-App and then after trying In-Store, error pops up and now the prize is greyed out and saying it has been redeemed. I went to my local BWS that I set in the app and they didn't have it in the system. So I just lost out on the prize :(

    • Same happened to me with James squire 6 pack zero alcohol

    • Same issue last year. Had to contact BWS to resolve. Took them a week.

  • I won a $15 Spirits sipcoin, yet when I click it, it doesn't appear/there's no button to click to redeem?

    • It’s under ‘my wallet’

  • +1

    So far I've scored… a Heineken Zero six pack + a mix of different Sip Coins.

    • +1

      Within the group that play at work and family it seems there are less prizes than last year. Have had 2x ppl win a 6 pack and 3x with single drinks out of almost 40

  • Anyone been able to successfully redeem a 6 or 4 pack of anything?

    Singles work fine… but the multi packs just error out and eat your prize

    • No issue here. From memory you want to check if the store has stock before trying to redeem, which seems a bit counterintuitive but that's how they roll.

      • Which 6 pack did you redeem?

        The thing errors before you select a store or add it to cart or anything.

        • Heineken Zero. Shop as per usual to see if the item exists, then go into the cooler and redeem in app. Alternatively go into store and redeem there.

    • Yeah, I think one issue is that you'll win the James Squire 345ml bottles but they've been discontinued for the new 330ml bottles.

      • Less for more, the new business policy

  • +2
    1. Cooler disappears
    2. Close app
    3. Logs me out
    4. Reset password because it doesn't accept it
    5. Log back in
    6. Go through introductory slides of cooler again
    7. Streak has gone, still try to play anyway
    8. "Oops! Something went wrong"

    Considering I am 3/10 wins (2 wine sipcoins I won't use, $5 spirits sipcoin that isn't worth using) not going to spend too much effort trying to making the damn thing work lol

    • And then when you get a sipcoin you might actually use it doesn't even take off the discount on some things specially marked "cooler"? Funny enough the things it works on are the overpriced products compared to other stores.

      Yeah nah uninstalled.

  • -3

    Just putting myself out there…
    Anyone able to successfully automate this since they enabled Cloudflare protections?

  • This app is amazing. I don't get the complaints. Allows multiple emails (dk if multiple numbers), the app works for me on two phones and im getting some great beer discounts because its only the first few days of the competition. Ive been buying cheap beers for like 1-2$ each. With a 7$ voucher, the Crony 4X which is already discounted can be bought for $4.

    • Same, yup.
      I don’t get the whinging either.

    • I should really get multiple accounts because I'm currently 4/15 "wins" lol

  • +2

    Every few days: "Oops! Something went wrong." when I try to swipe. Buggiest year ever.

    • +2

      Just restart your phone. Fixes this issue for me.

      • Thanks for the tip. It is working now with restart

  • +2

    I have won no freebies yet unlike last year. :(

  • i won a 6 pack of james squires 150 lashes, but its the old 345ml bottles not the new 330mls is there anyone who has had luck with this? what should i do to claim the prize thanks guys

    • +7

      Ok guys after speaking with customer service i was offered a $24.50 voucher as a replacement very happy with the outcome!

      • Now you can buy something actually good, nice!

        • Yeh hopefully if anyone else wins the 6 packs and has that issue they just pop an email to them honeslty dont know what a good drop is any recommendations?

          • @leasky: I only drink the ginger variety of beer, James Squire is not a bad one if you got some free money to spend

          • +1

            @leasky: I don't think there's a single beer that at least one person won't shoot down in flames and if there is, I definitely want to hear it.

            My recommendation though would be Stone & Wood Pacific Ale …which mightn't actually be available to you now I see you're in Perth lol oops
            Edit: stock available at Mt Hawthorn East (idk where that is in Perth but)

      • Thanks so much! I had one for non alcoholic 6 pack of beer that I didn't want anyway. They gave me a $20 voucher for it and I can stack that with sipcoins. Bottle of vodka for $7 after using my $15 spirit sipcoin

        • +1

          yeh i stacked with the james squire ginger ginger beer in the end got like 30 bucks of, didnt have the stone and wood that penny mentioned above at the local bws,

          so far ive won about 5 single drinks a pair of sunglasses and a 60 buck Absolut Picnic Throw, and a 15 off spirits and 10 of win and 7 of beer, my mates arent getting anything just grand prize entries, around 10am perth time i do it, dont know if time matters

  • +6

    Won a pair of polarised sunnies and some coins

  • +5

    Won my first non-sip coin prize - a can of Canadian Club Soda and Lime. Surprisingly easy redemption process in store. Just scanned the generated barcode

  • +1

    Won a few beers and plenty of sip coins now.

  • +1

    Today is the day you can win 50k everyday rewards points

  • +2

    So… when i get my 59 minute barcode after a win ($15 Spirit Sipcoin), can i then spend the next 59 minutes zipping around town to all the BWS' i can find?

    Cos after i used the code… that clock keeps ticking.

    Has anyone tried?

    Asking for a friend.

  • 4 weeks and still not a single freebie for me.

    • +1

      No freebies for NSW. I can’t even win any sip coins at the moment..

      Only ones worth bothering with are $10 wine sipcoins anyway..

  • +3

    For people having problems with the app not working. Switch your WiFi to mobile data or vice versa. That's fixed it for me most times.

  • I have won a Can of pre-mix Gin and Tonic and a Stubby of James Squires in the last couple of days.

  • +3

    I combined a $7 beer sipcoin from BWS with a $10 mastecard giftcard win on the Coopers roll comp, and picked up a 4 pack of Pirate Life beer. And I then won a $30 Pirate Life voucher from that purchase. Free beer is the best tasting beer!

  • +3

    Has this gone down the drain? Compared to the start I have been getting only grand prize entries lately. I know it was already less 'winning' than previous years but now I can't win anything.

    • As they give out more and more prizes then the prize pool gets less, so going to be harder to get an actual prize. I did get a $15 spirits sipcoin today though, so still have prizes but I agree that it is far less frequent

    • +1

      Yep just crap now. Grand prize entry or a rare low value sipcoin all I seem to get for the past couple of weeks..

  • Have been doing okay with this. Recently won $15 spirits and $10 pre mix. Bought 700ml gin for $27 and a cherry seltzer 4 pack for $3.50

    • Rain bird cherry seltzer 4 pack is $24 save $3 for me. Have not found any good deals to use the premix sipcoins on..

      • Those same seltzers were $13.50 on special for me, then minus $10. My local BWS has weird specials that don’t necessarily apply to elsewhere - I’ve noted this when posting other deals on OzB.

  • Got a few $7 beer, $7 wine, $10 spirits and $5 premix Sipcoins available. Happy to send barcodes if anyone wants one, you'll have an hour to redeem though so will coordinate with you when you arrive at BWS. Reply to threat and then message me and will be given on a FIFO basis

  • I've got a 2x$35 off $350 Adrenaline Voucher if they're any good to anyone. I don't believe you could stack them. I've redeemed them so have the code and it says they're valid until 11th January 2027. Reply here or PM me if you want one or both, let me know which. If you reply here make sure you have your PM's turned on so that I can send you the voucher/s.

  • +1

    Got a $20 Kogan Voucher which has a minimum spend of $100.

    Multiple Sip Coins and some free drinks here and there but compared to last year don’t feel I’ve done as well.

  • Got a $10 spirit sipcoin and it's the only one I can't find a deal for.

    Any suggestions?

    • +2

      I personally don't think the $10 spirits sipcoin is worth it as they pretty consistently have 25%+ cashback on ShopBack/cashrewards. Unless you want some cheap(ish) mishka vodka for $32, then might not be worth!

  • Got only one freebie in the entire competition. Hopefully i could win some major prize.

  • With the cooler gone, are our prizes and sipcoin gone too? I can’t see any section for them

    • +1

      Couldn't see it initially, then found it on home page
      Image - cooler closed, my wallet

      • Had a look and see it now, that definitely wasn’t there this morning though!

        • Yes appeared later

    • Still there. Up to 13 days to redeem

  • Has anyone found where the Grand prizes are announced?

    • All winners of prizes valued at over $250 will have their name and state/territory of residence published on https://bws.com.au/terms-conditions/cooler-winners on 03/03/2023 for a period of 28 days.

      It's still showing the 2022 results though. Fixed
