As posted on Boost Juice's FB page:
If you have a valid passport or drivers licence from the winning country in the quarter finals, semi-finals or finals then you can score a FREE BOOST!
Simply check out our Facebook page and head into any store on the game day with your ID to claim your favourite juice or smoothie.
Limited to one per person. Not valid in conjunction with any other offer.
Ugh.
The words "World Cup" do not appear in the Facebook post text.
So if Australia has won any quarter, semi, or final recently.. And there's no detailed terms and conditions (and you have an Australian passport).. Enjoy your free boost?
yeah good luck with that.
Yay England……oh wait
lol
Limited to one per person = Betchya zero will claim. This is just meaningless garbage marketing.
That goes for almost all Boost promos. Quite smart in getting their name out though since they barely lose anything.
Is this some form of racism?
Yep, they're excluding certain nationalities from claiming this deal. Disgraceful.
Got my Dutch passport two years ago, this makes it totally worth it. Thanks Dad!
I don't have a passport from there but my surname is totally weird/dutchy - wonder if they will take pity on me and give me one anyway :D
China not even qualify for the world cup !
I read that in a Chinese accent.
Lol classic dude so did i
That's cause the dude wrote it in one :p
a reason to spit in your drink.. jokes!
Should add "FIFA" in the title. Otherwise it can be other sports. :P
fake passports ftw :p
so aussie not qualified?
I thought we qualified at first, when they said 'World Cup Finals' but then it said QF onwards.
Doesn't say it applies to third place match though.
But yeah, Boost won't lose much margin from this.
Does France still count after they lost last night?
No. They have to win their game. Germany qualifies.
So four nationalities will get free juice.
Likely a lot of German (and probably Dutch) backpackers, a trickle of Brazlians, maybe some of the microscopic Costa Rican community, and no doubt they'll be barracking for the Belgians (non-existent in this country) to beat the Argentines (doubt most of them have their passports anyway).
Master stroke.
They can get free juice again if their team wins the semi and final. So let's say Germany wins the WC, you can get a free boost now, a free boost again after SF, and another after the final.
They didn't say anything about the third place match played before the final though. Probably nothing.
Like most of Boost's 'deals' not too many will partake in them, so it doesn't affect their margins much.
Anyone know why boost closed down at Watergarden Vic. Always was so busy
actually it moved to a spot near wendy's
I doubt they would not have balls to do this deal if Australia was in the quater/semi'S
Why wouldn't they? We have no hope of beating anyone at this stage of the tournament anyway.
There was some designer clothing company (Country Road?) that offered a full rebate if Australia makes it out of the group stages. That was a lot bolder than this and their stuff is pricier, and we already thought it was a stunt because getting out of the group stage was next to impossible.
This is even higher barriers to entry.
Brazil, Germany.
Argentina, Belgium, Netherlands, Costa Rica.
Chances of giving out one in Australia? NONE.
God save boost if India, China or Vietnam were playing the WC.
fcuking racist
I didn't find his comment racist. He was just pointing out that there are a lot more of them than Dutch, Brazilians, Belgians, Argentines, Germans or Costa Ricans staying here. Nothing racist about that.
So you're saying that there are a lot more of Vietnamese people than Dutch, Brazilians, Belgians, Argentines, Germans or Costa Ricans staying here???
And why would he do that in the first place? Just for fun? Do Indian, Chinese and Vietnamese people have something different from the rest of the people here in Australia?
@dtrang: It's a free drink deal for certain nationalities who happen to be in Australia. Pointing out the big communities here is hardly racist. Obtuse and vexatious use of the race card like yours just here is one reason people like Pauline Hanson get a run in this country.
So you're saying that there are a lot more of Vietnamese people than Dutch, Brazilians, Belgians, Argentines, Germans or Costa Ricans staying here???
I don't know. But from my experience comparing one nationality to one, I do see more of them in the area I live. This is neither a good thing or a bad thing.
And why would he do that in the first place? Just for fun? Do Indian, Chinese and Vietnamese people have something different from the rest of the people here in Australia?
His point was that Boost would have to pay out a lot more free smoothies if these asian teams were in the world cup than the europpean and south american teams. In other words, for Boost it's a very "safe" promotion and they are not at a very high risk of being ozbargained. You actually have to hold a foreign passport. There would be no shortage of vietnamese passports around here. Is this a bad thing? No one is saying that.
It's about as high a risk as giving free smoothies to Icelandic citizens staying in Mauritious. i.e. negligible. And Boost is well known for giving free smoothies to people who can't or don't want to claim them.
don't you think ACCC should be onto this as its not fair and equal opp has not been given to everyone to claim this offer. ?
Since it's a freebie and you don't need to purchase anything to get it, I don't see how they are obliged to be equal opportunity. If they're giving free stuff, they have the right to choose who they give it to. They just happened to choose a small minority, which is understandable.
Every now and then they have buy 1 get 1 free deals printed on shopping dockets. That is the time to suck them dry, considering how long a Coles docket is these days even if you're just buying one item, and how easy it is to pick up other people's dockets.
Even boost knew that Australia will never win.
It's a shit deal. Any chance we might see the same one during the cricket world cup next year? I won't hold my breath.
Maybe if Zimbabwe are touring (and about to win a test).
I happen to have a Dutch passport. I went and got a free smoothie at Broadway. A true Dutch person would probably go to more Boost stores to get more smoothies. :P
Do it. I think you'll be able to get free smoothies every day until Holland is knocked out, if they don't require a vibe card. Grab your freebies on our behalf.
The kids & I just grabbed a free Boost Juice. Thanks O.P.
