So you're that guy…
Because it’s so good?
last time I fell off my bike.
Tin foil hat brigade is here..
so who actually got a free drink?
when i did it last year yea
Last time yep, depends if you want more possible data harvesting and emails to unsubscribe from for all the effort.
Thanks op! Got the email after a few mins with the barcode
Use desktop, barcode nolonger comes through email it seems. So no need for legit email
My barcode arrived via email about 5 minutes after doing the form.
Yes me too, ignore above comment. But if you use desktop you can screenshot the barcode without a legit email.
You should get an email after a min or two, mine took a little bit to come through
Hmmm wonder if it’s like last year with the endless supply :P
Churn through my phone numbers… here we go!
All those profitable Lyca mobiles put to use
Oh yeah! Lovely deal.
Update - my BWS did not accept the code. Will come back to try it in a weeks time.
What reason did they give?
Computer says no
So did mine. Pretty poor form.
Just to add, when they scanned the can, it was $9.70 😳
same here, will try in a few days
Same
Same problem here
My BWS wouldn't accept the code
Did they say why ?
No reason provided, the code wasn't accepted in the system
Same as last time, but I complained and then they just sent 20 bucks instead.
Not working for me. Yet to get email barcode
Edit: finally got it to work.
How? Mine is no good
It's free real estate
Barcode immediately displayed on screen after filling form.
Didn't get a barcode to email
I didn't get a barcode on screen
Doesn't work on PC - just tried on my phone and barcode displays on screen.
Hmmm i didnt get a barcode on the screen…
Worked on mobile + received email
I got the barcode ok but it's not working in store for me either - voucher not found in system. BWS call centre said that it's the store till's issue and to come back another time and it might (?) work.
Never got an email and the barcode didn't load on the browser.
From what I can gather from my mates, some people had the barcode display on their phone screen and some people just got a "here's your barcode!" message on screen with no actual barcode. And some people received an email with a barcode and some didn't. A couple of people were using an incognito browser tab, got an on-screen barcode they couldn't screenshot, and didn't receive an email.
And there's all the reports above of the barcodes not getting sent through to BWS' system in real time. Not a good implementation of this promo.
Asks for mobile number. Anyone tried claiming more than once?
So far I don't think anyone has been able to claim at all
Got the barcode show up immediately after filling out details, and a few minutes later got the e-mail with the barcode too - haven't tried to redeem at a BWS yet but hearing other reports of it not working I might wait a bit too.
Tried to redeem at BWS, code not recognised by their POS. Had 2 redemption barcodes to try and neither worked.
I guess it's a POS in both respects
Promo only started this morning
So likely not yet set up on BWS system.
Try another day. Runs until 2/12
The makes sense. The first thing I would do when I set up a promo is I would make it so people give me all their personal data then you can't redeem the product. Real good look for the brand.
Barcode not recognised at BWS George Street 😒
‘Coupon not found’
BWS staff try wait a few days and if still not working email Kirin
Got the barcode on the screen at the time, and an email, but based on what others are saying I might wait a few days or weeks to redeem.
No email received after signing up…
Had the same issue, i did it again and a barcode showed up this time
Campaign closed. BooHoo….
"The Hyoketsu Virtual Vending Machine is under temporary maintenance.
Please check again in the morning to receive your free can."
Yeah same for me..campaign closed
Doesn't work. What a scam
So i just had my personal detail stolen without getting anything. Awesome.
Yep 🤣
Feel absolutely scammed given the personal details I provided.
And how does this "deal" have 96 upvotes when nobody's been able to redeem a free can?
bots.
first time here?
says it's down for maintenance now
"The Hyoketsu Virtual Vending Machine is under temporary maintenance.
Please check again in the morning to receive your free can."
Yeah nah
Ozbargained?
I had the same problem too! What a joke
Couldn’t redeem. I recall having this same issue the last time this was a promo, i think it was from Liquorland. Luckily last time when the barcode didn’t work they just gave me the can anyway and then Kirin sent me another code so I got 2 cans, no such luck at BWS…
Couldn't scan. Kirin site is now down for maintenance as well
Thanks OP
Not sure whats going on but i received 12 emails all with different voucher barcodes.
All addressed to me but different codes.
How strange
And now my 13th email again a new code.
Lol
vending machine jackpot.
Yep same here, added my 2c…says invalid barcode and can revoked..#shame #embarrassing much?
Not sure if this is a scam or straight up incompetence but this required far too much personal information, resulted in an unseeable code and then excessive spam over the night.
Since last night, I have gotten 22! emails saying I can get $5 off a 4pack. Maybe start by giving the free can you advertised? Ugh
I got a code. I haven't been to BWS yet.
I haven't received spam though as reported by other users
Revoked my positive vote due to the 30 emails received since 11.30pm last night offering $5 off a 4pack.
Same 30 emails and counting.
Last email was 5mins ago.
Wtf is going on
oops… i used someone else's email address to try and redeem code, cos someone said the code would be showed on screen therefore using an alternate email address would've/should've/could've been ok… So, someone has spam for $5 off a 4 Pack :-P
Still getting emails. I will post all the codes i have gotten shortly
Lol getting spammed by them. Wonder if i can get something from this.
It looks like the emails are now being sent every 10 minutes. Earlier it was like every 40-55 minutes. lolol.
This has got to be one of the worst screw up promotions I've seen on ozbargain. I want to block the emails, but seeing how many I get before they eventually stop is humourous to me. We should have a competition to see who gets the most !
Yep surely a case for spam to ACMA?
Went to claim code at bws schofields. Said it diesnt work .what a load.of crap
Still getting emails at 12.43PM - 6/11/2025
Instead of re-issuing vouchers to everyone, they're re-issuing them all to you it seems hah
The real question is, do the vouchers work? There's a BWS upstairs from where I am if you want me to try one.
Hmm i just re read the email and it isnt a free can.
It is a free $5 off a 4 pack.
Got over 40 of these..
Not a free can
You should count your lucky stars. The barcodes won’t work anyway.
Nah I got no spam after signing up yesterday either. Just a single email within 15 mins with the barcode for a free can.
Was the promo specifically advertised anywhere ? eg as part of a purchase
It’s on their Facebook and Instagram
Can you send the link? Edit: found it. They are still promoting it even though it doesn't work 🤦
It's still showing under temp maintenance
This is bad
