2450

I need a drink, man…I need a holiday

We buy 12 bottles…of this Jacobs Creek
And score a flight and a hotel for a 60 dollar fee

You buy 6 bottles…you get 1 night away
But best to hook up with a friend - it doubles up to a 2 night stay
Buy the drinks now…until December
Book by new years then you travel from February til November

Ten bucks per wine…and it tastes pretty good
Throw in a holiday…tastes ten times better than it should
Check out the terms…this is for real
Don't hold back cause you should know this aint my first Ozbargain deal

http://bonusmysteryflight.com.au/terms.php


OK - now that I've got that out of my system…oh, and this better not be a dupe, cause it took me ten minutes to come up with that.

  • 1 nights accommodation plus return flight for 1 person, or 2 nights plus return flights for 2 people (linked booking) in 3.5 to 4 star hotel
  • $30 booking fee applies per person
  • The offer commences on 1 November 2012 and closes on 30 November 2012
  • Each Mystery Trip must be booked by 31 December 2012 and must be taken between 1 February 2013 and 30 November 2013 (inclusive)
  • Travel ‘blackout’ periods applying including the periods between 13 March 2013 and 18 March 2013 (inclusive) and between 28 March 2013 and 2 April 2013 (inclusive)

I bought 2 x 6 packs for $120, so for me and the wife, it is a total of $180 for 12 bottles of wine plus 2 nights accommodation with return flights :)

We scored ours over a public holiday, and friends have theirs booked in the school holidays.

Took about 7 working days from first sending off for the deal to getting confirmation of our dates of departure.

The guys from the bottle shop said the Jacobs Creek rep advised the trips from Perth will be with Virgin to Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne…not sure about other cities.

The stickers may be in an envelope under the counter, although most of my friends have found stickered bottles.

Looks to be 5 different varieties of Cool Harvest:

It's also advertised in the latest Cellarbrations catalogue…page 4:

And no, this is not a competition - I have had 14 friends and family jump on this already, and got this response from the Jacob Creek reps:

"all participants that satisfy the entry conditions and have a valid claim will receive the offer as outlined"

    • Got mine from First Choice Ashfield on Saturday. I had called up First Choice Maroubra and they also had stock (the Ashfield store had more).

      • Thankyou yadayadayada. I tried first choice maroubra and got 6 sav blancs (only sav blanc). Apparently they have another 6 - not sure of current status but when i called up around 2pm today that was the case.

    • Try Charlie's liquor?

  • Grabbed 6 bottles from my local Cellerbrations… they had almost run out, now to book my trip :)

  • Anyone gone past the select dates email? i.e. what info do they give you re: departure…

    Mainly interested in whether they give you a departure time, and which airlines are being used… my departure city is Canberra, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out which flight on a Saturday morning is mine if I get a time.

    Also interested if they'll make us do connecting flights or not… if not, then I've only got about 7 possible destinations (hopefully Sydney is not one of them LOL!)

    • They send an email with a date and time of departure from your origin / "Mystery location", and advise "You will receive your travel itinerary confirming the Mystery Destination and Accommodation details approximatley 72 hours prior to your departure."

      No mention of airlines or connecting flights, although I assume connecting flights is entirely possible.

      • thanks for letting me know.

        i selected the 1 national public holiday (Queen's B-day) and the 2 ACT public holidays… hopefully it'll be somewhere far away from the horrible public servants

    • Thank you for supplying your preferred dates of travel.

      The date of travel for your Jacobs Creek Cool Harvest getaway will be confirmed via email to you shortly. Please allow up to 14 working for this process to be completed.

      You will then receive your travel itinerary confirming the Mystery Destination and accommodation details 72 hours prior to your departure.

      Have a great trip

      • Did you get this in an email or just on the confirmation page after clicking 'next'?

        • Just on the confirmation page then I got the invoice via email 2 days latter but no date as yet

  • FYI. I saw at least 6 stickered bottles at Liquorland Manor Lakes (Wyndham Vale). They said they just get restocked.

  • I still have 1 spare sticker, so if anyone needs 1 more to complete your pack of 6 then you can have it. You can pick up in Prahran VIC :)

  • both my forms have been tracked as delivered… fingers crossed

  • after selecting dates, how long have people waited for confirmation of dates to come through?
    I already know it says maximum 14 days but wondered how long other people have waited

    • It was 2 days for me.

    • I submitted my preferred dates this morning and received travel dates and time confirmations just after lunch. Same day was quite impressive.
      Are all flights with Virgin or are other airlines used as well?

      • That's lucky. I submitted mine on Monday but have not yet heard back.

        • +2

          yeah same here and i didnt register post it too! doh!

    • Dates selected on 27th out of Coolangatta. No reply yet.

  • I have a spare sticker. If interested PM me, pick up only from inner west sydney.

  • Here is the "about is" page of the people running this:

    http://www.free-2-travel.com.au/about.php

    I suspect it may be their biggest job ever. I wonder how they are coping. And how is this promo financed?
    I'm still wondering what the catch is.

    • maybe the parent company of Jacobs Creek has part ownership of free-2-travel, or some illuminati slave recruitment scheme….

    • +1

      maybe you have to listen to a 2hr presentation on time sharing lol

  • Has anyone who sent by standard post had their claim validated? How long did it take?

    • +1

      Mine was posted on Thursday, validated on Monday. But I do live in sydney.

    • +2

      Bought on 22/11, mailed on 23rd (Friday), claim accepted on 27th (Tues). I had a question and emailed on the 27th, they replied on 28th. Dates booked on the 27th. No reply yet. I'm in Brisbane.
      Very efficient so far.

    • I sent everything by standard post from Brisbane on Monday, haven't heard any further yet.

      • +1

        I spoke too soon, just got validation email.

      • Thanks guys! They do seem very efficient! Hope they receive mine soon but from Perth so might be Waiting Awhile…:(

        • +1

          Sent mine from mandurah WA
          on Friday and got the email Tuesday

  • +1

    Should still be 12+ bottles at Cellarbrations Blackwood and Fullarton SA

    • On a whim Zegga I called fullarton Cellbratations and they had 1 dozen left. I could not believe my ears. I kept my cool, said I would collect and bang. Thanks a heap!

      Luckkkkkkkkkkkkkyyyy

  • Just thought I would let people know that 1st Choice Liquor at North rocks NSW 2151 only received the new stock today so they have heaps of bottles left with stickers on them….

  • Anyone know if there is any stock left in WA? will search tomorrow… only just saw this :'(

    • This is for anyone in WA too… try calling Celebrations Cottesloe and Mandating, you might get a surprise :)

  • I have 3 stickers if anyone needs them - willing to give them away for free, although feel free to give me a bottle of wine if you're feeling nice :)

    (ACT pickup only).

    I'm in Tuggeranong near the hyperdome.

    • hey mate, please check your inbox :)

  • Hi,

    Need 2 stickers in Sydney or Central Coast. Please pm me if you have spare.

  • Sent off Monday. Just got confirmation now

  • Just been into Knox Cellabration to enter this promotion http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/86204
    The guy has exactly six stickers left at the counter.

  • I sent my forms with my bf on monday by express post and got confirmation on Wednesday! Very efficient so far!

    We are still deciding what dates to put. Ideally a long weekend will be good but we were thinking that maybe our destination might be somewhere closer (cheaper) given flights are more pricey during that period. Either way, the suspense is somewhat fun!

  • sigh i guess there is not much chance of any stock left this late in the game.

  • In terms of linking the bookings, does only 1 person need to complete the booking form?
    So person 1 selects the dates and inputs person 2's confirmation code. then person 2 doesn't need to do anything?
    is that right?

      • thanks kirt
        wow never seen an OP reply so fast to queries!

        • +7

          LOL!

          I know the pain of waiting for answers, so if it takes 10 seconds to answer something, I will ;)

          Saying that, the people behind the support email for this deal have been excellent - most of my questions were answered within a day.

  • *** Attn Perthites *** I bought a 6 pack, including stickers and am struggling to find another 6 after making over a dozen phone calls.
    Yes I know I can get a sticker from here and there and then buy 6 'normal' bottles for the receipt however I'm not quite that keen.
    If anyone is in Perth metro and wants to buy the whole lot from me, PM me.
    Alternatively if someone has a 6 pack with stickers and receipt, I'd be interested in buying them from you…

  • Sent in my stickers late last week, had confirmation by early this week, put in dates immediately and just had confirmation. We got the first dates we put in. After a bit of investigation, I think we're going to Adelaide (from Melbourne) flying Virgin.

    I still have 1 spare sticker, so if anyone needs 1 more to complete your pack of 6 then you can have it. Pick up in Prahran VIC or happy to post :)

  • ive given up on finding another 6 in syd. looks like ill be mystery flying solo!

    • Did you try Charlies Liquor in concord west? (call them up first)

      • thanks for the suggestion, but im done. and already on the cool harvest.

  • Anyone in South East Melbourne, I picked up a dozen last night at http://www.clarindacellars.com.au/

    They had more boxes with stickers when I was there (and one or two more bottles at the back of the fridge). Although it isn't displayed the price for a box of 6 was $60. Good luck!

  • After you have been charged the $30 each, is this when your going to be sent the details about departure dates?
    I have just been charged and got confirmation my credit card has been charged.

    Getting excited now hoping I will received dates shortly.

    Can anyone confirm??

    • Same thing for me. Charged and a credit card confirmation 2 days ago no other info yet.

  • Melbourne OzBargainers - I have an extra 3 stickers I'm happy to give away. Will be in the CBD then Richmond this afternoon and evening. Let me know if you'd like to grab them!
    Cheers

      Sorry to anyone who takes this up - I've been getting into some of the 24 bottles I now have laying around the house, so I'll be pissy.

  • 3 cases left at Cellarbrations Mount Waverley, today is the last day!
    Open till 10pm tonight.

  • +1

    Have to give credits to the guys at Cellar Concord. I went in there on Wed but there were no bottles with stickers. The sales rep offered to order some for me to pick up on Friday. Went to the store today and picked up with the ones with stickers!

  • Sent my stickers and receipt on sunday 25th, still no email confirmation yet.. i'm getting a little nervous. Although, i did scan a copy of my 12 stickers and receipt. Hope i get confirmation soon! :-/

    • yup same here, well i sent mine monday morning!

      hopefully they get though! =)

      • I am also in the same boat. I'm guessing they've been inundated since this was posted.
        That or some unscrupulous postmen have also noted the deal.

        Here's hoping it's the former!

        • lol I'm a bit paranoid about the latter as well haha >_<

        • +1

          Sent mine Tuesday from Melbourne and they received my mail on Wednesday (confirmed by Aust Post tracking). They do say allow 7 days from the time your claim has been received. At least I have proof they received my claim, and ofcourse I have a photocopy and photo of all my documentation.

    • +1

      same here, I actually sent them in Friday 23rd's post. it will be fine…..famous last words!

  • +2

    just grabbed a dozen with special thanks to Param @ Mt Waverley Cellarbrations

    now to work out when to go!

  • Anyone has a spare sticker? I'm in Sydney. Thanks

    • Yep, 1 spare and happy to post. DM me.

  • Seems like everyone has now got their free holiday. Don't forget there is a promotion to claim a free tie with the purchase of Chivas Regal http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/86204

    Param (REP) any good deals on Chivas Regal coming up?

  • I know it is probably too late, but those interested there is 6 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc with stickers at BWS Hallett Cove SA

  • I have one spare sticker if anyone needs one. Pickup in Carlton (VIC)

  • People are collecting stickers - but how are you getting around needing to have a receipt showing purchase prior to nov 30th?

    • +2

      maybe purchasing 6 non-stickered before cutoff date.

  • anyone had a reply today?

    • No, my claim was received by them on 28/11/2012

    • nope, havent heard anything yet, and i didnt think about using registered post, maybe i shouldnt of used my works pre paid envelopes hahaha =(

  • +1

    Hi this is a first time for me so please be patient. I have 6 labels of the Mystery Flight deal and a receipt if anybody needs it. I wasn't able to get 2 lots so don't want to travel without hubby. Cheers Deb

    • Hi Deb, would be grateful if you still have them. Could you send me a Private Message. Thanks.

      • Hi kirky1 sorry I've taken a while not sure how this things works. I'm happy to post stickers if you send some details. Cheers Deb

        • No worries. Go to My Account -> Messages. I have responded to all your PM's.

    • Please post location (not for me)

  • My bf submitted our dates on Saturday night and i received our first preference dates along with departure time from Melbourne and departure time coming home from Mystery location. Extremely efficient. I wonder how i can find out where i'm going by looking at departure time… clues anyone?

    Thanks OP again.. this is a really good deal and treat!! :)

    • I wonder how i can find out where i'm going by looking at departure time… clues anyone?

      I was told the flights are with Virgin, so maybe check their website for your times and dates.

      Otherwise, check Webjet.

      Thanks OP again.. this is a really good deal and treat!! :)

      ;)

      • I just did i search of all the destinations on Virgin Australia website. 100% timing match from Melbourne to Gold Coast. Happy with that if that's the case :)

        • Mine remains a mystery…Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane all have return flights from Perth that match our time and dates!

        • From perth, any of those three destinations are great! I was hoping for a Melbourne to Perth trip, but Gold Coast is just as good!

      • I got my dates and times confirmed today. Nothing with Virgin appears to be a perfect match for both… grrr, will have to dig deeper :)

        • Well, I also looked at webjet to available destinations and no flights are a direct match to the flight times both ways. Looks like it'll have to remain a mystery!

        • Looks like it'll have to remain a mystery!

          That's not a bad thing anyway I reckon ;)

          Your flight may be booked out, so you won't find it when searching either?

        • I agree, although when there is a puzzle to be solved I like to solve it! :)

          That occured to me, so with Virgin I used their timetables which list all flights whether booked out or not, still nothing that matched both ways.

    • Where did you hear that? I was beginning to think something was going on.

      There was nothing in the T&Cs putting a cap on anything. Unlimited sounded too true to be good.

      Who knows, might still be lucky. I think they have been flooded with claims and it's just going to take time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the wait.

      • +8

        There was nothing in the T&Cs putting a cap on anything. Unlimited sounded too true to be good.

        I reckon they just had a set amount of stickers / stickered bottles given out to the stores, therefore knowing exactly how many trips they were up for, and controlling it that way.

        • Sounds good

        • I was always under the same impression as well…still waiting for confirmation of my claim!

    • How did you find that out? I submitted time preferences last Monday and have been charged the $30 booking fee but I haven't yet received confirmation of time. Will I miss out?

    • I'd be interested to hear what evidence you have of this before prompting everyone to complain.
