MOD: We have been contacted by the marketing company representing Cadbury in this promotion, who have requested to have this "deal" removed, as using extract of the voucher is fraudulent, which we agree with. The barcode was only given to the participants of this Coles competition, which everyone can participate.

We have now removed the barcode. Please do not share it on OzBargain. For more details on this removal request, see this page.

Scan the linked coupon (MOD: File removed) at the checkout for $1 off Cadbury products.
Cadbury Medium Bars 30g-60g are 50% off this week.
Total comes to $0.00. Confirmed working by me.

Coupon originates from entering this competition and is not unique. You can enter the competition now to retrieve your voucher instantly (will be emailed to you).

Pro tip: The new FlyBuys readers bolted to the top right corner of the screen on the self-checkouts are CCD-based readers capable of reading barcodes off phone screens.

The coupon will scan as a $0.01 item, the total will go up to $1.00 and it will come up with a message saying that approval is required. Press pay now, wait for the assistant to come over and the total will drop down to $0.00 (unless you're buying other stuff).

Voucher valid for a single purchase from the CADBURY confectionery range via Coles or Coles Express outlets. Includes CADBURY Blocks, Sharepacks, Bitesize, Bars, Gifting or Pre-teens (Caramello, Freddo, Chomp, Curly Wurly). Excludes Cadbury Easter range. No refunds if product is less than $1. One voucher per QUALIFYING PURCHASE. Offer Valid from 4/2/2015 to 31/3/2015.

        • tdw on 21/02/2015 - 01:07

          @t25: it just occurred to me…could you get a raincheck for the out of stock timeout bars?

        • t25 on 21/02/2015 - 01:17
          +1

          @tdw: sure you could. You could probably tell them to write 30-60g Cadbury bars as well.

          How many you could later claim with both the rain check and voucher is a different story. Because the rain check needs to be processed manually

        • tdw on 21/02/2015 - 01:33

          @t25: of late, a lot of Coles staff have been saying that you must use up the whole quantity stated on the raincheck. in the past i've managed to use half the quantity, and for the remainder they either cross out the original and enter a new quantity or write me another raincheck.

        • t25 on 21/02/2015 - 01:38
          +1

          @tdw: yeah! I was accused of stockpiling rain checks and buying them at my convenience.

          Also, it doesn't help that rain checks only last 4 weeks. Unlike the previous 1 year.

          Sometimes I feel that these rain checks and vouchers are worth more hassle, the looks you get trying to get them, then the major hassle of redeeming them, worse if you have big quantities, having to explain that 50 bars is not commercial quantity, the snide remarks some of the new staff throw out, etc.

          @t25:
          Re:

          "Jokes aside, I've been accused of photocopying the vouchers today."

          I suspect that perhaps the checkout chick/bloke was under the misapprehension that you were supposed to be using a voucher cut out of a newspaper or magazine. Otherwise, why would they accuse you of photocopying? Unless you were trying to use a couple (or three) vouchers at the same time, all with identical blemishes…

          Anyways, in future just tell them that the official instructions for using the voucher are that it be printed out at home; hence, it looks like a photocopy (or a home print-out; which it is, 'by design'). Show them the actual website/information pertaining to the voucher on your phone, if need be.

        • t25 on 21/02/2015 - 10:18

          @GnarlyKnuckles: they didnt want to know about it. told me to go to the customer service desk, where they simply repeated the "photocopy".

          i wasnt going to make a scene over some chocolate bars. its not worth it, so rather i just left the bars, and walked away with my voucher.

          as mentioned before, there are always some staff member who will play, and others who wont, its a matter of finding those that will, and avoiding those that wont.

        • tdw on 21/02/2015 - 15:26

          @t25:

          I was accused of stockpiling rain checks and buying them at my convenience.

          yeesh…what are we bargain hunters NOT accused of?
          the whole point of rainchecks is to compensate the customer for the inconvenience of the item not being in stock, so said customer can buy that product **when it suits them*

          i suppose you do the monthly Coles surveys? i'd make a point to retain the receipt of any store that hassles you when you claim the bar and give feedback on that. ;)

        • t25 on 21/02/2015 - 19:43

          @tdw: actually no. I often forget the Coles survey.

        • t25 on 03/03/2015 - 01:38

          @tdw: i suspect by the last week, many of the coles are going to be very savvy about it. hell, can you imagine the stores having their morning team meeting and alerting all their staff with the vouchers :P

        • tdw on 03/03/2015 - 02:53

          @t25: i'm hoping so. during 2nd week the promo was running it was noticeably easier to use the voucher. all except for Morley, which the middle-aged woman at self checkouts read the whole coupon out loud, then claimed that only the two items pictured in the voucher were eligible for the $1 off.

          so she grabbed the chocolate, my voucher and marched to the service desk. store manager was called over (Dave), she read out the whole coupon again and that her interpretation of the voucher was for the 2 items only. Dave looked at the coupon, looked at the receipt and pretty much ok'd it. but the woman was still unhappy and started yapping about how she thought i already paid for it.

          by now i was thinking wtf. she had lost face and was now trying to make up something as a reason why she called the manager over. she never asked me at the checkouts whether i'd paid for the item or not. more blabbering from her trying to cover her humiliation. before i could finally take ownership of my chocolate bar, i asked her whether she'd like to check my ID as per voucher instructions. oddly, she didn't. amazing…she's missed her calling as a politician.

          @tdw: oh dear. not morley again. it would seem that the people at morley need to revisit customer service and how not to piss them off. same deal at flinders too. scarborough was another one that would give me grief over those vouchers.

          maybe we should compile a list of "difficult" stores and make it easier for our fellow ozbargainers to claim.

        • tdw on 03/03/2015 - 13:02

        • t25 on 03/03/2015 - 15:18

          @t25: funny you mentioned flinders square earlier. had to wait for a good few minutes at the self checkout where two dimwits couldn't figure out how to use the machines. so the checkout assistant was running back and forth between the two, meanwhile i was standing there staring at her back trying to get her attention. sure enough, another middle aged woman giving me hassle. this time she expected to see the full terms and conditions. l-o-effing-l. told her that was several pages long..did she expect me to print all of it? she called over a colleague (another middle aged woman) and they discussed it for a while before my voucher was finally approved.

          tldr: avoid the middle-aged women. (and before anyone reading this tries to scream sexism, i'm female myself)

          @tdw: Start a charity drive… set up a gazebo out the front of Coles carpark, handing out these vouchers (complete with a copy of the Ts & Cs of course). Free chocolates for all!

          As a side note, I do sometimes wonder how things would be if those on the lower-income stream even knew about some of these deals, especially like the cheap Sports Direct clothing. Charities etc could really do more good if they were part of this site and knew about this! Instead all that happens is middle-men buy the Sports Direct clothing, and sell it for 200% to people that still see it as cheap, but don't realise how cheap it could be.

          Just random thoughts lol

        • t25 on 04/03/2015 - 22:09

          @Spackbace: then you might be accused of photocopying vouchers in the office.

          sometimes its easier to just go to a store where the staff are more accepting of our vouchers, lately, i have been doing my big shops NOT at flinders, but at subiaco. because unlike flinders, subiaco accepts my vouchers and even ask me if i have more :D

          @tdw: actually, i just read the voucher T&Cs, and found an interesting "omission" if i dare call it that. usually, vouchers would say, valid one per person per transaction or valid one per person per day or something along those line.

          "Voucher valid for a single purchase from the CADBURY confectionery range via Coles or Coles Express outlets. Includes CADBURY Blocks, Sharepacks, Bitesize, Bars, Gifting or Pre-teens (Caramello, Freddo, Chomp, Curly Wurly). Excludes Cadbury Easter range. No refunds if product is less than $1. One voucher per QUALIFYING PURCHASE. Offer Valid from 4/2/2015 to 31/3/2015"

          now if we read the conditions carefully, I reckon, you could walk in with 20 slips and argue that buying these individually would be a qualifying purchase, and that there is nothing from stopping you.

        • tdw on 05/03/2015 - 01:06

          @t25: yeah, i noticed that "loophole" too. been waiting for a checkout op to lecture me that i could only claim the $1 off once so i could point that out to them :p

          i agree, i could use all my vouchers and buy out that store's timeout stash in one hit but seeing as how it's already such a p.i.t.a. getting one miserable chocolate bar!…i'd rather just drive around

          @t25: haha, i dont know about 100 of them (I havent reached that ozB level!!!) but I have done a few with one self-checkout assistant then realised WOW that worked, and walked through the self-checkout again in a few mins, and the staff asked "how many vouchers do you have?"

          @imissbeans: who said anything about knowing 100 of them.

          just print 100 vouchers, get a trolley and load up on your favourites, then go find someone who will let you use them all (or at least as many as possible!) =D

          or, if the staff ask me "how many vouchers do you have?" i will simply respond with a figure like 120. i doubt they would even count the number of vouchers/choc bars.

          @t25: yeah that's next level! I'm working on getting to Sensai level, maybe I've been given a few breaks here and there because I'm convincing!

    maybe all the perth ozbargainers should go to morley/flinders square/scarborough (ie. difficult stores) and claim the bars at the same time. that would really mess with them :P
