  • here we go again!

  • Hooray! Thanks TA :)

  • +17

    Oops, Something went wrong. Please try again.

    • +4

      Same. Tried twice.

      • +1

        Make sure to check bank transactions. Mine failed twice but noticed I got charged for both transactions…sigh

      • +7

        Me too. Is it commbank? I tried commbank app to see anything and it looks like there is some issue. I don't know if it is only me..

        • +1

          Oh wow you're right commbank itself is borked, not Cashrewards :(

        • +2

          Error for me also and can’t sign into Commbank app

        • +1

          Seem here, maybe CBA's problem. CBA's facebook has some information.

        • 28 Degrees card used here and got the Oops message too.. And have a pending transaction..

      • @UJ I attempted to purchase twice with my Suncorp CC. Probably gonna hold off for now. Dont want to keep trying lol

        • Same here Suncorp CC. Worked for all previous deals but not this one. I guess will hold off too.

      • Tried four times, 2 different CC. Bugged

        • I tried last time and this time with my virgin money card and no bueno

    • tried a different card, worked.

      CBA's problem.

      • HSBC as well

    • I also had an issue with my commbank card, but I can see it's been "charged".
      will it automatically get returned because of the error, or do i have to chase up True Rewards?

      • +1

        Should revert in a few days.

        • +1

          Thanks! That's what I was hoping.

    • +4

      I’ve called True Rewards & they told me:

      1. They updated their payment platform/system and banks are apparently blocking payments.
      2. My 2x transactions made didnt go through on their end, so should bounce back into bank accounts in 1-2 days (sounds like others are still waiting for refunds from last time though?)

      Would be interested to know for those who could make payments, which banks they used.

      • NAB signature CC worked for me, last few deals had to get a text/approval code but this time went str8 thru

        • Interesting, I used something similar, didn't go through

  • Thanks TA!

  • Thanks again TA

  • Thanks op

  • Stock up for Prime Day!

  • Thanks TA. This one made me bookmark Amazon's gift card redemption site.

  • Something went wrong. Please try again.

  • Another one

  • +1

    Oops, Something went wrong. Please try again

  • Ty TA. Got to be quick missed out last time.

  • +1

    Error, something went wrong

    • Yep - i've been charged the $20.10 but no gift card delivered and with the same erorr.

      • +2

        I think $0.10 is for SMS, you can empty the mobile field to avoid it next time.

  • Thank you, accumulating for black friday.

  • +5

    Failed payment. But have been charged for it. Happened for the last one too. I tried 5 times last one and got 5 pending charges for last time too. No good.

    • +1

      Works fine on my Westpac CC.

    • -1

      Same boat
      I used ZipPay and got charged but shows the order something went wrong.

      • +5

        I believe many gift card websites have blocked Zip’s single used card, including prezzee and giftcards.com.au.

        The pending transaction should be reversed in 1 or 2 days.

      • Cool thanks. The reason I used ZipPay was I couldn’t log into Commbank.

    • +3

      Issue with product (For example:)
      It does not work the way it should

      People keep getting sucked in on these ones. All the time spent and risk taken, for the reward of $2 cashback, with a limited cap. Is it worth having a discussion on how appropriate these affiliated deals are in terms of the difficulty and error proneness of transactions, and the triviality and poor return-on-time of the cashback?

  • +2

    Yeap, got charged twice but also errored twice

  • +3

    Got the same error "Oops, Something went wrong. Please try again" last Friday and got charged without receiving the gift card. Not trying this again until is fixed.

    • +1

      me too. Still get the same error.

  • +1

    Worked thanks, and I used the $2 to send 20 SMS's to my enemies

  • +3

    Worked fine for me with a Westpac card and Firefox desktop

  • Go-To Visa card doesn't work…
    Should have kept as Coles Mastercard..

  • Thanks!

  • Thanks TA :)

  • +1

    "Oops, Something went wrong. Please try again." x2

    Brave browser, CBA.

    • See here in case it helps. Appears an issue with CBA?

      • Thanks, could very well be CBA. I tried looking at my CC account but the app and the website are both showing issues/"Unable to show account information right now". I'll try again a bit later :)

      • HSBC as well

      • I used a 28 Degrees CC and got the Oops message as well. I also have a pending $20 charge against the card and no voucher received.

      • Also happening with kogan black credit card. With this deal and last deal.

      • Update: Tried again and everything went through. All good!

  • Nice one TA!

  • +2

    Yep “Something went wrong. Please try again.” here too…

    • -1

      Out of interest, are you using a CBA card?

      • Yep.

        • -1

          Appears to be an issue with CBA going by the comments.

          • @tightarse: I don’t seem to have been charged yet though, unlike others.

  • +5

    Got charged $20. Error comes up and no gift card.

    • You weren't charged. It's pending and will eventually drop off. Are you using a CBA card?

      • +2

        I’m using ZipPay. Same error but got charged.

        • -1

          See here.

      • +3

        First used cba card (error no charge) then used revolt (charged as pending)

        • Now we know CBA are having a major outage so that's why.

      • +1

        I got 3 consecutive errors, got 3 charges on my wise and it said I can't purchase more as it said I have reached the daily limit.

  • Oops, Something went wrong. Please try again

    from a TCN based Visa

  • +3

    Still waiting for refund from last time

  • +1

    Cashback payment is still not working on Firefox…It's already a few months now…

  • Thanks TA. Grabbed one

  • I'm also getting “Something went wrong. Please try again.” twice. Hope I don't get charged twice.

  • +1

    Commbank was reported service outage just now

  • yep CBA issue, checked out fine with a different card

  • How many gift cards can I purchase?

  • +5

    Failed multiple times here too. First with a CBA card and also multiple times with a 28 degrees card.

    Why is this payment platform SOOO shit, the same thing happens all the time whenever this deal gets posted. It fails 80% of the time in the past

    And I just noticed they charged my 28 degrees card TWICE and yet according to the website the order failed. Now I get to spend ages trying to reverse the payment for the $2 credit I never got.

  • +2

    Error with purchasing with my Virgin CC. Worked with BoQ

    • Mine failed with Virgin also.

  • +1

    Same error "Oops, Something went wrong. Please try again" and still got charged when using my ANZ card (ANZ Plus).

    • +2

      It's a convenient excuse that covers a lot of users but comments show plenty of others with different banks having problems.

  • +1

    Currently on VPN in Big Island in Hawaii. Successfully bought using 28 Degrees no issues. Thanks

  • Thanks again @tightarse Always works fine for me using ING visa debit. I hope the bugs that everyone using other cards gets fixed - must be frustrating :(

  • +7

    Last deal I wasn’t even sent the gift card

  • $20 is the optimal amount, isn't it?

    • Yes.

  • Oops, Something went wrong. Please try again.

    when trying to pay

  • +6

    Hope I get the pending transaction cancelled.. got 4 charges on Citi and Virgin card from last deal.. definitely not just a CBA issue.. Most likely a Cashrewards issue..

    • It has nothing to do with CashRewards, I think you mean TrueRewards or your bank

  • +7

    Been getting the "Oops, Something went wrong. Please try again" error for the last three of these deals. Tried a number of different cards (Westpac, Kogan, Bankwest) all with the same result. Customer service wasn't able to help.

    • +1

      Worked fine with Westpac CC on Microsoft.

      • +1

        I'm on a Mac, I wonder if thats the issue?

        • I did mine on HP laptop.

          • +2

            @Yola: It was the Dell laptops that had the issue.

  • +1

    It worked fine for me. ING customer.

    • +1

      same, tracked in 20seconds as well

  • I also got the "Oops something went wrong." error message. Tried twice and gave up.

  • I might just wait an hour or so before processing.

  • Tried with CBA, error with card, didn't go through.
    Tried again with HSBC, money was deducted but giftcard order error.
    Time for truerewards email help…

  • Charged my Kogan card. Hasn't tracked and was not sent the giftcard via email. Strange, anyone else experiencing this?

  • +12

    i bet the deals will end up something like get $1 for $10, then get 50c for $5. soemthing like that.

  • Thx TA~ No issues with ANZ card.

  • +1

    Worked Coles CC.

  • Bugged by CBA and latitude 28 degrees

  • +1
  • +1

    @TA: thanks! Any upsized Amazon cashback deals in the near future?

    • +1

  • Payment not working with CBA credit card.

  • Worked with coles CC. Thanks!

  • Worked for me, thanks OP

  • -1

    Omg $2? 1000+ up votes please!

    • +3

      You're on the wrong site if you think free money is a bad deal.

  • Thanks Op

  • thanks TA

  • Thanks TA, you the goat ! :*

  • -2

    15% or bust

  • if I buy $100 giftcards, will I get $10 bonus?

    • +1

      No, just $2.

  • I got double charged as: Pending - True Rewards Kensington AU (full description available next business day), it charged me twice.

  • Thanks TA. Love these deals :)

  • +2

    Been a problem with their payment system for more than a week. Avoid.

  • +1

    What's really poor form is if you're going to block cards based on type (prepaid / whatever), stop the transaction based on card BIN instead of putting a pending charge on the card and then saying no.

  • Missed out :( rejected cards

    • Once activated, you have until 5pm AEST to complete your purchase, even if activation limit is reached.

      • +1

        Ohh ok thanks! Forgot about that! hoping the cba and 28 degrees issues get fixed before then!

        • +1

          My 28 Degrees went through. My main card UP doesn't work everytime for the last few months. CR should honestly dump Truerewards, they are shit.

  • +1

    Went thru just fine w ing. Thanks for the deal TA!

  • I have ordered one each from two different accounts. I have got only 1. Did anyone still waiting to receive card?

  • @tightarse Any chance you can mix up the time of day you post these deals? They're always sold out by the time I wake up in Perth and get on OzBargain lol

  • @tightarse Can the payment be extended? Given the ongoing payment issue from multiple banks?

  • -1

    For those who do not check ozbargain in the morning, is it possible to have some of these deals posted in the afternoons/evenings, TA?
    Thanks

    • +2

      You snooze you lose

      • +4

        So for those who work/are on night shifts/have family commitments - and check ozbargain in the afternoon/evening/nights - why should they consistently lose? I'm genuinely interested in understanding your rationale. I'm not referring to a one-off deal or bargain, but all of those limited-time CR cashbacks posted recently

        • -1

          Look at YOUR rationale. You want them posted in the afternoons/evenings … how is that going to suit people who are at work/on night shifts/have family commitments?

          Furthermore, it's a common saying. No need to get your knickers in a knot over it.

          • -3

            @kerfuffle: What nonsense. I've requested that TA considers "some of these deals" posted at other times, not always. This would be a fairer system that a response of "you snooze you lose". You don't have to comment if it's not going to be constructive. Besides, the comment was to TA and not asking for a personal opinion

    • You can create email alerts so you don't even have to check Ozbargain.

      • how do

      • I did that before, but emails seem unreliable (i.e. not 'instant')

    • +2

      Agreed - would be nice to mix up the time of day a bit so everyone wins :)

  • Wow everyone must be stocking up for Prime day sales- missed out twice now 😢

  • Worked for me from PC (Chrome), Cashback tracked instantly.

    Thanks TA

  • +3

    CBA finally worked

  • anyone tried coles mastercard and works?

  • +5

    Still got error with CBA mastercard

  • Thanks TA. $2 bonus and 20c tracked
    Ordered on PC Chrome Incognito

  • I have 2 CBA transactions fully charged and no longer pending.

    Both of these gave errors during the outage.

    • Please give True Rewards a call on the 1800 number in the OP and let us know what they say. Thank you.

      • figured it out,

        the pending charges dropped and the ones I was looking at was the two previous $20 GC deals,

        thanks TA

        • Ah, good stuff. Thanks :)

  • All members that activated this promo then purchased an Amazon GC prior to 5pm AEST will have both the cashback and bonus approved in your My Rewards. Enjoy :)
