Giveaway for Kirin Hyoketsu 4 packs from liquorland. Limited to 20,000. Haven't received the confirmation yet but it does say up to 2 days.
Must be trying to compete with Suntory 196 dominance here.
EDITS: Have now received the confirmation, took about 12 mins to come through.
Also, I haven't redeemed yet but users are commenting that getting the attendant to type in the barcode instead of scanning is fixing redemption issues.
Redeemed. Picked it up, barcode didn’t work, attendant just said “Take it, we’ll sort it out”
These things are $25 normally, nice little freebie!
Anyone reading this one, get the attendant to type it out. Scans in wrong.
Glad they sorted it out for you
Anyone else getting "Got error response from the server: Not enough balance" when trying to enter your details?
Same error for me
Can confirm just used 2 vouchers at my local. Need to get the cashier to enter the barcode manually for it to work
Mine didn't work at Reservoir Vic. Attendant tried scanning it, didn't work, and said "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do".
I didn't know to get barcode to be entered manually :(
Now I'm going to go to sleep upset, and sober.
Told them to enter manually, and successfully got 2 packs. Had to get room temp as apparently no room in the fridge. Staff said they had some other people through the barcode didn't work, and they thought it was a scam.
Got error response from the server: Not enough balance
If anyone has a spare code , can you pm me ? Wouldn’t mind getting one, thanks
It’s generic so just use the screenshot
I solved the myth thanks to the generic code provided above. The barcode to scan is actually 13 digits while the real correct code is 12 digits.
In other words, create the 12 digits by yourself to save the manual entry. Pros put it under a flybuys shell.
So just Stocard it? I can see this deal being ozbargained
Use it to scan the barcode, it comes up a 13 digits ending with 8, one digit more.
I am sorry i am not followed, which app do i use to create this new bar code?
nubzy said it.
You guy are Genius. Thank you. Redeem my legitimate code by get them manually enter it in. But since this is generic, we are getting unlimited drinks until coles sold out haha.
Just use google wallet and add a new flybuy card and manually enter in the generic 12 digits and it generates a barcode
Find a liquorland with these in stock and as you check out get them to scan the flybuys barcode u generated
Worked on the 1st scan for the last pack in the fridge haha! The attendant says it is never that easy, seems served some frustrated customers earlier!
Can you get multiple packs with a single code scan?
Anyone have a spare screenshot?
Not the one shared before
Will give it a go
Thanks :)
It's all the same, use STOCARD and generate the barcode yourself
Thanks OP - just redeemed mine at Liquorland. Scanning the barcode didn’t work. Had to enter the number underneath the barcode.
Ok I originally called this a scam but it's actually legit, get the person behind the counter to manually enter in the code and it will work, thanks to the OP
So it's same code for everybody?
Yes in my family's case.
Successfully redeemed 2x4 cans just now at North Brighton, but there's now only 1 can left.
Yes, just used it. I didn't activate mine at all.
It is 12 digits. Don't use the provided barcode that represents 13 digits, create your own one.
Now the issue is stock availability.
Probably the code can be used 20k times.
My local store (Top Ryde, NSW) had a stack of these on the counter with "Digital code not working" written on them.
Pack your barcode in a flybuys shell.
Probably the code can be used 20k times.
Nope,. Liquorland are technically incompetent. I checked with a mate who works there, said its still working now.
I didn't say it can't be used now. I mean some stores may run out of this 4 pks, especially can be easily abused now.
They said it wasn't working and waiting for head office clearance at Ashmole Rd. She entered the code and it worked.
Don't use the provided barcode, create your own one.
I got an email earlier in day and have not clicked on link or used it yet (far away currently from a liquorland)
and see the codes are out of stock. If I go within two days time, will my code work (if entered manually),
or has the amount of allocations of 20000 already now being used up?
20000 used. It'll work today
I suspect Coles liquor with send an email to Liquorland tomorrow asking not to accept them (so you may get lucky if staff haven't read, or don't care). Certainly won't work after Monday when their IT guys revoke the code.
You may overlook some comments and have not realized that all so-called unique codes are the same.
So when I said just above 3hr 45min ago
It's all the same, use STOCARD and generate the barcode yourself
I may not realise it's all the same barcode? Ok
Out of stock?
Non unique codes. 2023 btw, Smfh
I applied late morning today. Got email within 2 hrs. Walked to my local liquorland (Carindale, Qld) and redeemed around 6pm no problem. Jared there had dealt with a few today and figured out the scanning issues - still a few in the fridge.
Not bad - less of an artificially sharp lemon than the Smirnoff Yuzu Citrus Burst giveaway imo.Thanks OP!
Guy scanned my barcode and it worked! Freebie claimed! :)
Time to do the old uniform change in the morning and replace after hours. For freebies.
Staff let me take all the stock. Little banter works with staff
reckon too late to do C&C at a store and still try to redeem with the stocard option?
Code doesn't work for online order.
But You can check stock availability online to save going there in vain. I picked the last pack in the fridge at one location and the online stock shows none later. It seems updated pretty soon.
You're right. Sorry I should have been clearer.. my local stores are oos. If I see one further away that does have stock.. wondering if it would be too late in the offer lifespan by now to risk driving the longer distance there, grab that stock from shelf and then try to redeem via Stocard code. Hard to tell!
As the deal is marked oos too, gotta assume the redemptions left would be pretty small!
Will see how I go later I guess.
Yay managed to get 1 at a local that said they were already OOS! Thought to check in with them anyway. Considering myself pretty lucky…
@domo653q: Yup. The promo site worked for the code/email generation 1hr ago.
My local Liquorland accepted the official link (although obv the same as everyone else's) 20 minutes ago.
https://www.kirinhyoketsugiveaway.com.au/ is sending promotion codes via SMS again as of now (ie. not showing "Not enough balance" errors). Obv not worth it consdiering the generic redemption code, but anyway
Has anyone tried this morning ?
Yes works.
I used the screenshot from earlier comments and asked them to type it in. refuses
damn, my local didnt have stock even though i checked online and they only sell x10 packs
Good chance the store manager or staff worker has taken them for himself and claimed
Just picked mine up at Southland no problem, girl knew about the promo, too easy.
Unless the store knows about the promo, their not putting in the right barcode section
Still working. Just redeemed at local.
Redeemed, happy, rest is history. (Helps if staff know to enter manually as stated previous)
So what are the codes to use please someone post a working code? Website still down showing no balance or something wrong with it so confusing
Still working, I just redeemed. Weirdly I created a barcode in Google Wallet to scan and entered the code manually when creating it and when scanned it came up with the 8 on the end still. Staff member was already aware of the issue and just asked for the code to input.
The amount of 4 packs given away under this clown world giveaway will be insane. Image being the fool responsible. 🤣
Claimed successfully with generated barcode. Staff had no idea about it lol and made the price $25 and asked me to tap. Had to explain it was a promo from Kirin and to check ozbargain.
I just redeemed my 4 pack.
Dude in store had not heard of the promo. But after he typed the code it. Boom free
Just make a barcode in Stocard, drop the last number (8) and it will scan no worries
Thanks OP. Received email to claim within 10mins yesterday
Worst service in Marsden Park, Sydney.. Indian Liquorland worker claimed he can’t type in the code because it’s the same as his one (weirdly had one already screenshotted on his phone), this is before I read the comments and found they all had same generic codes! Most likely he was saving it to give away to his friends and family!!
Very unhappy jan!
The Green Valley store has something dodgy going on as well and I suspect your Marsden Park store it's claiming them all for himself
I suggest you put a complaint through the Liquorland online case scenario they may you send you voucher
No need to get them to type code!!
Just make your own barcode in Stocard
Just went into the Green Valley store. Liquorland website shows plenty of stock available confirmed by customer service. I see a few four packs behind the register none on the shelf store manager says they don't have any even though they have a big banner out the front showing it's a new product.
Sneaky suspicion that the store manager is on to the promo
yeh some stores are stashing them away even though the stock on the website shows available 😅
Still 3-4 packs Coburg north, Vic. No problem using the customised barcode shared or if you want to get them to enter it manually
when can you redeem til? out of stock in my local stores
Anyone claimed today?
People dedicating to this is the minority. I doubt 20% redemption quota hit. I visited a quite big center today and the Indian attendant let me have it but questioned it. Obviously, extreme minority has been doing it considering the foot traffic.
Can confirm worked today, no problems scanning from Stocard, manually entered..
Thanks OP, and those that suggested Stocard.
confirm the barcode is the same.
Redeem requires using barcode generator or a helpful staff manual input.
Key part is to find stock. From web put 10x packs in the cart then check for your local store stock, don’t try the store with only 2-3 packs stocks.
get ready for the downvotes lol
Whaaaat this is next level
Got asked "So where did you get the other barcode from?"
And politely explained how I emailed Kirin's support team which they apologised for the error and got back to me with a new barcode. This seemed to pass the check and he allowed it, but was a bit hesitant to scan beforehand as it wasn't an "official barcode".
Suggest using this story if you have troubles 👍
Lol my fictitious story is exactly what ended up happening, it just took them quite a few days
These are delicious. But $25 for a 4 pack ? No thanks
Got told today they got a message from head office to not allow redemptions anymore
Promo still active, big doubt
Easier to block the code in the system than other ways.
Rubbish. I just successfully redeemed literally 2 mins ago.
Yeah I figured as much.
The guy scanned my code (wrapped as a flybuys barcode) and I could see it worked but he refused to give the product to me
Don’t know why he would care
Still working. Local restocked and got the actual store manager this time and they just sighed. "Yeah I know its free"…
In my experience most staff have no idea about it. One was very suss on me and kept asking where I got it. Most others are just puzzled by it. Surprised some stores are not getting many takers..
