      Doesn't let you continue without having it checked.

    • A3Australia on 15/06/2013 - 15:22

      As 'Sage' reported on June 2nd

      Doesn't let you continue without having it checked.

      They have changed their SUBMIT form so that it is now mandatory to check the box to give consent to receive "commercial messages" from "Michel's Patisserie or its nominee".

      When I took up their free coffee offer at the end of May I did not have to "opt in" to receiving these Commercial Messages. Now one receives this message if the "Consent" box is not selected:-

      "Please opt in to receive your free coffee voucher.
      RFG and Michel's Patisserie respects your privacy. Your personal information will never be shared"

      How can this be "opt in" (optional) if one can not proceed to receiving ones voucher unless it is selected?

      10/10. Would LOL again.

      • A3Australia on 14/06/2013 - 17:06

        One offer per person during the campaign period?

        No, it stated "One offer per person per (sic) during the campaign period." One must expect that the missing word is "day" - as I can't think of another word that would make any sense.

        So, the original coupon should state "One offer per person per day during the campaign period."

    • alvian on 21/05/2013 - 21:31

      Curious that espresso is excluded. All the other types start off as a shot of espresso.

      • empty456 on 21/05/2013 - 21:56

        Must be using some crap beans which would be too noticeable for an espresso shot.

    The vouchers look a bit dodgy because the resolution is poor and it's very difficult to read the fine print at the bottom.

    I can see this being another one of those promotions where the person serving stands there inspecting the voucher for some 30 seconds before asking "Where did you get this?" and "I'll just have to check with my manager".

    • sphere on 21/05/2013 - 22:32

    • Janko on 22/05/2013 - 13:10

      If franchisees claim back from franchisor, I wonder how many franchisees will be printing out the forms themselves to claim?

      If franchisees cop the cost themselves, I can't see them being accepted for very long :)

  • superforever on 21/05/2013 - 22:34

      Great for free and the wife doesn't mind them, but I have a problem with Nescafé being referred to as 'coffee'.

  • Wade on 22/05/2013 - 00:37

    Doesn't include soy? Damn it. Really sucks being lactose intolerant (and vegan, but I couldn't drink milk anyway). I would hope they will let me pay 50c or whatever for the soy.

    I actually can't believe how simple the voucher is, it's actually quite ridiculous.
    No unique barcode, or basically any uniqueness to them at all
    Seemingly no limit on use, apart from '1 coffee per voucher'!
    No clause in terms for right of cancellation of voucher or such?

    Being a franchised company, similar to Dominos, I wonder how the franchisor is dealing with payment to the franchisee for the cost of the coffee (if at all?). At least it would appear that Dominos had a marketing payment from Hardy's to be divided upon Franchise Owners whom had vouchers redeemed. Surely the franchisor isn't going to want to pay for a persons breakfast, brunch, lunch and arvo coffees for 30 days! I can only assume that the marketing manager who organised this will get a pretty severe talking to about this! At least the guys at Dominos had their exit clause worked out, and had a way to fund it.

    Really dumbfounded.

    Cheers,
    Wade

    • 5centcoins on 22/05/2013 - 00:57

      Probably reimbursed the cost from the big guys up at HQ

      • Knightelf on 22/05/2013 - 14:29

      I agree this was a severely ill conceived promotion. Someone forgot to tell Michels at Morley Galleria in Perth 6062 about it.

      I went there, tried to use the voucher, got a dirty look from the frontline staff, got told to wait, then got two more dirty looks from two more senior staff (all ladies) who came from out the back and informed me that they'd only accept "originals".

      I joined their spam list and downloaded and printed the voucher as per offer so the "original" is the copy that came out of my printer!

      Didn't feel like making a scene but might bring my iPad to show them the promotion website to labour the point net time.

      Their website says:

      Complete the form below to receive a FREE voucher which entitles you to one small coffee^ at your local Michel’s Patisserie store during the month of June. Your free voucher will be emailed to you.

      Once you’ve enjoyed your Michel’s Patisserie Espresso, be sure to complete the feedback form to go into the draw to win 1 of 8 Michel’s Patisserie gift vouchers+.

      Bit hard to rate the coffee you haven't tasted.

      I was shown some more information about it today. It looks like they are going all out. There will be a goal of around 15-20 free coffees a day. Badges, shirts, posters, we have to let everyone know about the promotion etc etc.

      They apparently get some bags of coffee in return. I suppose its really just to entice people to come back. Bit of a gamble if you ask me.

        I guess if you come for coffee, you'll also get a cake or something to complement it. The pastries are quite expensive so I suppose it should work out eh? Besides its just a small coffee.
