    Nice PSA

    • 13.5m on TGG or on JB?

      • JB own TGG as a seperate entity

  • +5

    Thanks OP. Got $0.

    • same!

    • +6

      A good bargain hunter doesn't let credits expire!

      • +6

        I got my initial credit 4 days after it expired (14 days after I picked up my TV). TGG's couldn't have cared less and blamed me for not contact them on the day I purchased my TV for my bonus credit (I had no clue it was a 10 day expiry). I stopped being a customer with them at that point.

        • +2

          Same. They made it very clear that if you purchased from them you would get a credit on the 14th of the next month, and it would expire after 2 weeks. And then they sent it late.

          What cemented it for me is when I tried to call up via phone, and no matter which option you chose you couldn't get through to anybody. What that told me is that aftersales service with TGG is on the same level as a guy offering to sell a PS5 for $100 at the train station.

          • @outlander:

            They made it very clear

            They wouldn't get fine if so. I guess many were unaware?

  • i got $70 woop woop

  • +3

    Now for someone to find the best thing to purchase.

    • +4

      This is a very hard question due to varying amounts, but you can always grab Laundry detergent or price match eneloops.

    • I used up my store cash on reams of A4 paper

    • +2

      Best thing to do, do your research on what you want, get goodguys to pricematch or beat the competitor then use this voucher on top of that.

  • +12

    I’m sure I’ve got a few expired during that period but I haven’t received an email or sms for the free store credit

  • +4

    I definitely missed some of the credits in the past due to the initial 10 days expiry date. Didn't see anything tho

  • $50 received

  • +4

    I got $120.
    Thought it was a scam at first.
    No idea why or how I got the $120 but winner winner!

    • +3

      You would have made a purchase in this time frame. I had bought things but never received store credit and gave up hope. I guess that is what happened. ACCC has cracked down with them not paying people so now finally they have paid. Got 2 x $70. Just in time for buying a dishwasher

      • +1

        Yeah I don't remember buying that much from TGG although now that I thought about it I do remember something a while ago but I thought I did get it in the end.

    • +2

      If it helps, I also got $120 and this was from a Dyson V8 purchase in June 2022.

      I remember kicking myself when I realised that the credit had expired so quickly.

      • I purchased a Dyson V8 that time but it was directly through the Dyson store.

        I purchased something around then was meant to get a gift card and I remember having to email them through the help from here and I found evidence I got a $150 gift voucher and spent it within the 30 day timeframe for a external hard drive.
        I thought maybe I got it twice as I got it chased up Manually but the monetary value doesn't match up.

  • I got $0 😭

  • How to check, just login?

    • Sent to your email

  • +3

    Doesn't seem like the credit has any exclusions, I got some PlayStation Network digital cards with my credit!

    • Can confirm this! At the checkout option it allows you to put the code and pin thanks bro!

    • They would be crazy to put any exclusion on it

  • +10

    I remember buying a Nintendo switch, then they refused to give me the bonus credit cos I didn't have their app setup at the time of purchase. Previously they had sms'd the credit…

    I appreciate whoever made the effort to make the GG accountable. If only insurance companies can be held to similar standards

    • This was a seriously dodgy credit scheme that was so hard to redeem it was basically worthless. Good that they were rapped over the knuckles and forced to pay out fair value.

  • I got $50 although I had already used it recently

  • +1

    You are entitled to replacement Store Credit in the sum of $190.00 in respect of your participation in one of the relevant promotions in the above period.

    Nice

  • kinda shit tbh
    the offer when signing up was 3 x $20 store credits for 3 years
    at least it's more than the extended warranty fee ($30)

  • I got $70. Pretty sure I would have used it. Unless I didn't in which case I need to hand back my Ozbargain membership.

  • +3

    Is this on top of the multi million dollar fine, or instead of?

  • And I'm trying to find something to buy with $100 credit..

    Any suggestions?

  • +2

    The ACCC hit TGG with a wet leaf.

  • What about interest?
    $100 x 4% x 6 years would be extra $24 missing!

  • +6

    Damn they deleted my account

    • +1

      I thought so too, but I created a new one with the same details (email) and it still had all my purchase history..

      But the credit doesn't appear in your account, it only goes to your email.

      • +1

        Its a little odd cause they were still sending me emails for "deals" as recent as 5 days ago…

    • +1

      Oh yeah me too, my account is deleted and I'm owed $6000

  • No store credit because my email wasn't linked…
    They just had my phone number on file.

    • Same - now I have linked my email, all of my purchases are showing - but no voucher.

      I hate them even more now

    • same here, surely the missing credit should show in our account too?

  • Amazing. No voucher for me, but I did run across another voucher in my gmail search that I never knew about, and it expired last year, so now I'm doubly p*ssed. https://i.imgur.com/JErbOkH.jpeg

  • I got $70 - nice - cheers!

  • +1

    Nice, well I got $50 when I did not even know about the proceedings. And if it wasn't for this post it would have still sat in my junk mail unused. Cheers OP

  • May I know when they sent this email to you guys? Just this morning or yesterday?

    • Mine was sent 9:01am today

      • Mine did too, exactly. $70

        • sigh … mine 9:03 … in another world?

  • $90 nice

  • Thanks $80

  • Thanks OP! I had $120 waiting!

  • +1

    Nice work government, cheers

  • i got nothing!
    is the email from goodguys normal domain?

  • Got 60$ now for the Ninja Cafe Luxe to arrive.. :)

  • I found I had a $40 voucher that expired last week, but haven’t got any emails yet - fingers crossed

    • Me too! So annoyed about losing that!!!

  • Snagged $70. No complaints.

  • +1

    $210 here. Email was sitting in spam. Thanks for notifying!

  • Can someone share the subject of the email? I remember of losing $200 store credit as it was blocked my office email filters (both my personal and office emails were linked to my mobile number. I gave my mobile number to receive the store credit but unfortunately it landed in office email box). I will contact my IT staff to release the email if you could share the title (makes my job easy while requesting them).

    Thanks in advance

    • Store Credit voucher from The Good Guys following resolution of Federal Court proceeding

      • Thanks a lot. It seems it’s already there in the original post description, I did not notice.

  • I got nothing too. Pretty sure I didn't use some credit.

  • thanks! 80$ for me

  • Crazy I got $120 voucher, think I bought a Weber spirit 2

  • Wow, just checked. Got $180.

  • $70 here, love the ACCC 🥰

  • $70 winner winner

  • $70 here in the email. But my email and mobile number both deactivated when trying to login to their website - not linked to any user.

  • Thanks OP, had 20 bucks in my thing, would have otherwise deleted it with all the other junk if your post didn't make me go looking. Cheers!

  • got 150 but only on 1 account. I have 3 accounts in family,

  • I always get store cash updates on my phone. Pretty sure my email isn't linked. Going to call them tomorrow and see.

    • Same here, did you try to login and see if the credits are in your account?

  • oh wow the ACCC actually did something about this little scam they ran!

    I remember emailing and calling them but same rude attitude but unfortunately haven't gotten an email about this, maybe its being sent out gradually?

  • Two years too late for me, sorta. 2017 $300 gc pocketed by Gift Card Planet despite TGG trying (not very hard) to get them to extend expiry date. 2019 govt introduced minimum 3 yr expiries (with exceptions).

  • I have my $200 TGG gift card from AGL, stolen within days, and The Good Guys refused to do anything about it. That was back in 2022

  • I tried to chase this up on my own and the complete FU that TGG gave in their delayed or non existent responses. Legit felt like an actual scam.

    Glad they got hammered on this.

  • I really thought it was a scam! $90

  • +1

    LIke others had to do my due dilligence and rule out a scam! Whoop! $80.

  • Anyone know if this works for TGG Commercial?

  • got $10
