    Lol @ all the negs, the deal hasn't been put up yet. I am reserving my vote to neg l8r :P

  • +3

    I used my AWS server in Sydney to connect to their website and still failed !! crap deal - negging it for sure.

  • +6

    Folks, the Myer cards haven't been released yet! You'll know once they have actually all been purchased, because the screen will change to say "This deal has left the building" or something like that.

    It'll likely be released later today.

    • +1

      i think it'll say sold out.

    Hello scott.
    scott
    Hi, I am trying to buy deal: 55439 but it is saying unavailable.
    Kiera
    That deal has sold out but keep checking the site and we may have the offer for the Myer card again soon.
    scott
    2000 people have already purchased one?
    Kiera
    Just having a look hang on a moment please.
    I've been speaking with a colleague and the Myer deals starts later on today.
    scott
    What time?
    Kiera
    Please keep checking the site today for the Myer offer.
    scott
    What time?
    Kiera
    Unfortunately we cannot give you a time as that will depend on which offers sell out the quickest so can you please keep looking on the site.
    scott
    Depends on which offers sell out the quickest? Can you provide a list of 'offers' so I can deduce an approximate time.
    Kiera
    If one of the Birthday offers sells out before the expected time then we may put up an offer early but I cannot tell you an approximate time for the deals.
    scott
    Well that's pretty useless then. What deal is currently being offered, the advertisement said it started at 12pm?
    Kiera
    Please look on the website and you will be able to see which offers are being advertised.
    scott
    Cheers for your insights, they've been extraordinarily vague and unhelpful.

      I just asked on Scoopon Chat and they told me the Myer deal will start at 8pm tonight.

        Nice try Berecca13 :)

      • Nice try, if anyone will believe that.

        • +1

          Well it turns out he was right! Good on ya Berecca13! :D

        • Yup, got my card at 8pm, hope you guys did too :-)

    I have been sitting in front of my PC since 11.45 and the MYER deal has NEVER been available.

    • +1

      so when is MYER deal coming?

      • +1

        This birthday promo is spread out over 3 days. Might be later today, might be tomorrow hey it might be the day after.

        • +1

          What started at 12pm?

  • +2

    Yep, as per others commenting….really alot of nothing.

  • +3

    This is what live chat tole me about myer cards

    Clare
    No this Deal is not available for sale just yet, but keep an eye out on our website as we will be featuring different Deals throughout the day for birthday sale. We expect it to come on sale later today.

    theyalso said the htel deals will NOT be available until thursday

  • +2

    this will be like winning the time lottery

    • You didn't read the post, did you?

  • +1

    I wonder did people actually read the first post? Not all deals are available from 12pm.. Some deals are.

    If the deal is sold out.. it states, SOLD OUT. "Sorry, deal not available" does not mean it's sold out, it means it's… not available yet.

    As it states in the original post:
    "These deals are spread over 3 days, so no timeline on when a particular one will be available."

    Sure, its a bit "Christopher Pyne" (not grub) of them with the method they have used, but that's the way it is.

    And thank you TA for posting. :)

  • +8

    Scoopon would like to thank all those who participated in our server load test.

  • Always doubted whether they even had stock..

    • +1

      Then don't try. I, as many others, somehow got the "free" iTunes one a few months back (and yes, they did deliver a VALID iTunes code)

  • +1

    Perth pastacup deal is on if anyone is interested.

    • some locations sell out quick.

    • also the frozen yoghurt one

  • The publican deal in Melbourne can not be used at the publican venues in perth, according to live chat.

    • Perth deal will probably be released either later today or another day.

  • +9

    Guys, please read the updated post from moderator neil at the very top.

    Seems he is updating the deals as they come through, so please be patient.

    No-one ever said these would all be available at 12pm. They are spread out over 3 days.

    Thank you. TA.

  • Sorry TA neg for scoopon

    • Nice guys.

      • Wasn't me :)

  • +1

    Hey guys, why do you have to neg ? OP already mentioned it will be spread across 3 days

    • +7

      Someone needs to post up a reading comprehension deal from Udemy. :)

      • +7

        Classic neil. Wish people would read the post before making statements that just aren't correct.

        Hopefully the negs are aimed at Scoopon, and not the messenger :)

    • +3

      Negs are valid if there are major issues with the retailer/company. Even though, the deals are spread out, their staff did not even know this (see sletts post).

      I see this as a major issue with the company.

  • +4

    do they really expect us to hit the refresh button all f'kn day

    • +2

      Nope. They just want you to sign up.

      • +5

        my subscription cancellation will happen some time today, I can't tell you when exactly

        • lol

        • ha ha

  • +1

    Nothing for Sydney atm..

  • Neg for Scoupon, not you Mr TA Love your work in general but this deal is too difficult to access and not particularly remarkable, bit like a Catch of the Day special.

  • +4

    Thanks for all your work TA, esp with the flights.

    I got some free kids labels and a free photo book.

  • +1

    Have to neg on this. Please check back often? What do they think, we have no other things to do?

    Sorry OP, great post but the neg is on Scoopon. Will revoke the neg if they come up with some sort of timetable.

    • +6

      neil is your timetable. Check his updates at the top of the page. He's doing a sterling job!

      • +2

        Looks good…revoked. Thanks neil & TA!

        • Looks good…revoked. Thanks neil & TA!

          Thanks to neil, not me. He's doing the hard yards here :)

    Neg to Scoopon for being d!cks. Just wanting to aggregate traffic to show their prospective clients.

  • +7

    Dear Scoopon,

    I wish you a VERY UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    At least you get to keep the harvested, stolen data, Scoopon, the thief and time-waster.

  • oh wells.. time to get started on that anti-gravity device

    • drivetrain done

  • +3

    Wow so many negativity in here! Just chillex, people! You win some and you lose some - C'est La Vie.

    • +2

      I can relate. When I get hungry, I get irritable.

      Ozbargainers are hungry for a deal so they get cranky when they don't get their fill. Feed the Ozbargainers and they chill out. When will companies learn.. 8 )

  • My scoopon's stated that I was entitled to the free movie voucher from the V.Me promo… but I was never emailed the movie eVouchure :-(

    • +2

      I thought I didn't get it either, but apparently my email didn't receive their emails (hotmail), so I messaged them and they happily sent it to my other account.

      • yeah I have emailed them a few weeks ago, but haven't heard from them..

    Those who are interested in the Perth hotel deal, it looks like it's the Ibis hotel. $99-120 normally.

  • +3

    What's up with all the negs on people's comments or are people just bored waiting?

  • +1

    Holiday in Melbourne in 3 weeks .. Bought the $25 for a $50 Publican Group Gift Card. Discount cocktails FTW.

    • +2

      Yes, that's an excellent buy! Those venues are top notch. I bought one only because my trip is in ten days. Didn't want to risk more in case they didn't come in time.

  • +7

    This is a competition not a deal. Its clever marketing to increase trafic to the website. Timeframe for the sale is random over 2 long a period. Would be more cost/time effective washing your mums car for $10.

  • +2

    Even if this specific deal is bad, still been happy with all the freebies I've scored from scoopon. Hopefully I get lucky again in the future. :)

  • +5

    Too much hype. Not much deal.

  • -1

    Ahhh the old bait n' switch.

    NEG. NEG! NEEEEGGGGGGGGGG THIS ****ing deal to the stingy shores of hell

  • +3
    • looks too good to be true but just bought one anyway

      • LOL…please share your experience on using it!

        • I have used them in the past when it was about $30 for 200 credit. They charged over 500 for prescription sunglasses, with my 200 "discount" i paid over 300. So not really a discount as can be had cheaper in other places, but the lady who owns the business was nice.

    Not the best deal - read website before purchasing

  • Boss just sent an invite for meeting 2:30-3:30 PM this arvo, great!!! that means I'll be missing out on the itunes deal :(

    • +1

      Invites can be declined…
      But seeing the way nothing is happening on Scoopon, you might just save yourself some time and disappointment if you go to the meeting instead.

    • I just got an email from my Boss titled 'Do Not Ignore Me'. I really want to reply 'I will ignore you until Scoopon have released all their deals' but it may not go down too well lol

      • Now she just sent another email 'For Those Who Havent Ignored Me'. But I told you I am ignoring you already lol

  • Misleading advertising, implied that those deals should be available from mid-day. Instead we are expected to refresh those pages every hour? Not worth it in that case in my opinion.

  • +1

    I nabbed two Publican gift cards that I'll use on my 2 for 1 Tiger holiday. :)

    Edit: Got the iTunes too. I'd love to get the Myer card, but I won't be at work then and my internet at home is extremely bad.

    • Got a Myer voucher too :)

      • And another Publican card for Perth

  • Wasting time, I'll just give up.

  • …pls

  • +2

    Good things (or in this case, the deal/s you want) come to those who wait…

    If you were expecting the deal/s you want to be up at midday AEST & that's the reason why you've negged this post - that wasn't Scoopon's fault. Tightarse made it quite clear in the post that this was an 'extended offer' & not an 'everything at once' promotion

  • -1

    "All of our deals will be scattered throughout the next three days. I suggest that you check the site now for the great deals you are looking for as we are unable to provide a time line for when the deals will be available on the site."

    This is a competition not a bargain.
    You just need to look at the right time and have a super fast connection speed and fingers to score

    • Competitions

      Competitions are not deals, so please do not post competitions, contests or anything that only a small number who have registered might win. Please do not run contests or competitions within deals as they detract from the bargain. If you have a competition that you wish to share with other members at OzBargain, feel free to post in our competitions section.

    I don't understand how some peope can sit on a computer 12 hours to wait for a deal, its such a small amount also its not free. You could earn that amount alot easier and faster by doing other things.. Guess some have to much time on their hands.

    • +2

      And what exactly are you doing right now?

      • While DEvok complains, I'm scoring ITunes vouchers.

    C'mon guys, scoopon is owned by COTD, seriously what did you expect from them?

    I love it, COTD always seem to fool us one way or another
