Just got given this by my neighbour. Definitely works in Adelaide but is meant to be Australia wide. Print it out, cut off one of the strips and get your attendant at shell to scan it for 18c a litre off your fuel purchase.
TODAY ONLY!

EDIT: Confirmed working: NATIONALLY :)

EDIT: This has got to have cost someone their job. We have cost Coles thousands of dollars already :)

ENDED: I can't believe how MASSIVE this turned out to be, first time i've ever experienced a "viral" incident and the only time i've ever started one :D

Thanks everyone for the kudos etc. I should be able to walk into any pub in Australia now and say "I am Todes Angst and I need a beer!" and get one :)

        4c off brings it back to the true price (whatever that is). Those without a docket are paying above market-gouging.
        More likely 18c off is closer to the true price.

    • puffinfresh on 10/04/2013 - 21:33

    Quite funny actually, I've got a crap printer at home and you could barely see/read it. It wouldn't scan so I asked if the lady could manually enter it in, she said she would, but couldn't see how much discount it was meant to give. I said 18c/l and she just pressed her touch screen once, didn't enter the code and it took 18c/l off! Awesome find OP!

      It's not 'fake'. Sure, it shouldn't have been mass distributed, but really that's their fault for not having unique barcodes. If head office wanted to stop it, they could void that barcode in their system rather than calling all stores, but that would effect those that legitimately received it. Although it seems that legit people would be turned back by some attendant anyway.

    The service station that let you fill 44s is breaking the law..

    Same with the pallet tanks.

    I expected to get neg for this comment but it's true - and for good reason.

    25 litres in an approved container is the maximum size permitted for a retail service station.

    • MATTDAMON on 10/04/2013 - 21:51
      +1

      I think you will find thats completely incorrect. We use pallet tanks all the time especially out in rural areas and they are filled via regular bowsers (farm machinery refueling)

      Hell the fuel tanks on my truck are over 800L each and the belly tanks on some of our trailers are 4000l each. All done by regular bowsers and not done via 4 inch coupling.

      • Spizz on 10/04/2013 - 21:56
        +1

        Hope they get the discount approved before they fill up the pallet tanks so they then don't say sorry no discount after they've been filled.

        • MATTDAMON on 10/04/2013 - 21:59
          +2

          What we did for the 44's was Mick was inside paying as we hung up the handle every 150l to reset the bowser as separate sales.

          Not the first time we have done big lots because of discount vouchers or (most recently) incorrect pricing.

          We had the Caltex Hexham selling Diesel at 47.9c a few months back, did alright out of that was well, fueled 17 prime movers and 6 pallet tanks before they shut the bowser off (its an unmanned sight so all automated)

          Plus dont forget your 12c fuel tax credit for heavy vehicles.

      • Natt on 10/04/2013 - 22:00

        Copie

        I am not going into this as I don't mix work and pleasure but if you want to check out AS1940 in respect to retail service stations it is mandated there.

        Just because it's done does not mean the service station is abiding by the relevant mandatory standards.

        If you have any doubt ask the relevant agency in your state.

        Perhaps you are filling at a "depot" or perhaps they are doing the wrong thing.

        Either way I am 110 percent sure.

        44s are not allowed to be filled at a retail service station and neither are IBCs that get loaded on & off

        If you really get into the nitty gritty there may be a very small gray area with diesel, but petrol no way.

        And a service station would have a very tough case arguing that gray area if they had an incident.

        And rather foolish.

        • MATTDAMON on 10/04/2013 - 22:06

          So long as its a fuel approved container most places wont stop you.

          By rights anyone running a long range tank wouldnt be able to fuel up as its beyond '25l' container.

          Nothing is said when i pump 2800l of fuel into the fuel tanks of my truck either.

        • Natt on 10/04/2013 - 22:14
          +1

          Tanks permanently fitted to a vehicle are different.

          Hence my comment about containers that you can take on and off - they fall under the definition of portable and that's where that limit comes in.

          But don't take my word for it e-mail the regulatory body in your state and ask them about it.

          I know you don't know me from a bar of soap..but all you need to do is a bit of research and the answer is there

          Although I don't quite agree with the wording woolworths has this policy because of compliance with as1940

          http://www.woolworthspetrol.com.au/Safety

          So go hunting :0

          Oh and shells own page does not reference size but it does mention not filling containers on the back of vehicles
          http://www.shell.com.au/products-services/on-the-road/fuels/…

          Now I told you I expected a neg, but it still does not mean I am wrong

          Oh and why principally static control amongst other things.. If you google that you will come up with incidents etc

        • MATTDAMON on 10/04/2013 - 22:31

          And?

          Also says you cannot use the autofill clips and let almost all woolworth sites ive been to still have them present on both the lowflow and highflow Diesel.

          Being most servo's are licensed and not owned by the corporate im sure the owner wouldnt be impressed if some idiot attendant denied a 1000L sale, especially after you have pumped the bulk of it already.

          Edit: PS i didnt neg you either, i save my negs for jv and Chilled only.

        • Natt on 10/04/2013 - 22:45

          And my point is against the law.

          And not complying has all the risks attached to that for an operator.

          They might decide they think it's worth it, it they might think its too hard to comply.

          I disagree. Especially if the are an agent for a principal that says they commit to certain rules.

          Those woolworths rules are their own, that they have said licensees will follow!

          Anyway I know from experience that getting into detailed discussions in forums like this are unproductive and are the wrong place.

          I'll just watch the coupon train wreck!

          Oh and thanks for the comment about not negging me .. I did notice and it is appreciated that you cared enough to mention it :)

    Assume:
    - With more than 15600 click, assume each download is shared to 4ppl or cars (62.4k cars)
    - Assume average of 25L per car ($4.50 savings)
    - it's a loss of profit margin by about 280k

    I think i'm being generous here, but it wouldn't surprised me if it's way more than my estimates, probably more like average 30L each car and 100k cars..

    Just used at Coles Express Gungahlin, ACT and saved about 10 on V-Power. I actually told the guy at the counter that I'm gonna distribute the vouchers to others who were behind me in the queue. All ok and the counter-guy told me today is the last day of the promo. Made at least 10 people so happy tonight..

    Was told I couldn't use it in the ACT (Belconnen), the guy then proceeded to show me the stack of printouts he had… gave me 8c off anyway though.

      You should've told him: "That's great, now you can add mine to your collection :D"
