        you're welcome to pay 7.5% more for your groceries

        It worked for me, I bought $500 worth of Woolies giftcard and was charged $425 therefore it's legit. If it didn't work for you, that's because you're too late to the party. It's not a reason to neg the deal. You snooze, you lose!

  • bikuta on 23/05/2015 - 16:10

    Does anyone know when this deal ends?

  • aztecian on 23/05/2015 - 16:14

    I thought SAVE15 exp midnight 22/5, so it makes sense that it didn't work. Groupon always arrange it in such way that the giftcard promo doesn't overlap with 15% off.
    Anyone really has any luck having 15% on top of this 7.5% off?

    • prankster on 23/05/2015 - 16:56

      ah if save15 was only until midnight 22/5 then someone should have said it or reminded people or else you will get noobs like me asking again ahahahah

      but thanks understood :)

    As with all other Groupon offers, be sure to either use a credit card with 0% foreign transaction fees (28 Degrees, Bankwest Platinum, etc) or check your credit card statement to claim back from Groupon any foreign transaction fees your bank charges. With NAB for me it was 3%. Groupon process their Australian company transactions in Australian dollars through Switzerland.

    • serpserpserp on 23/05/2015 - 17:14

      How do you claim those fees back from Groupon?

    • argonbay on 23/05/2015 - 18:18

      Just used my refunded foreign transaction fee from last deal! Used AMEX again and seems like no foreign fee was added.

    • firestormx on 23/05/2015 - 19:13
      +4

      You can also just use Paypal so no international transaction fee is charged. Saves having to contact Groupon and wait for their refund.

      • illumination on 24/05/2015 - 15:31

        This. I don't see any reason anyone would prefer to pay via Groupon's direct payment method vs PayPal.

    Bought 3x$100 last time and took the e-vouchers into bigw and bought 3x$100 Woolworths gift cards with them.

  • fault on 24/05/2015 - 12:04

    SAVE15 didn't work for me but I'll still take the 7.5% off & cashrewards! Thanks OP.

  • shaybisc on 25/05/2015 - 10:04

    Yeah I know I'm too slow and I missed out but have I got this right, if you get in early?

    1 you can get a Big W card 7.5% off which you can use at Woolies supermarkets.

    2 you can stack a SAVE15 code on top of that for an extra 15% off.

    3 you can also do it through CashRewards and get an 4.25% back, even though CashRewards specifically say you can't.

    Those are all claims I have gleaned from this thread but I may have misinterpreted.

    Which of these 3 were true this time?

    • empty456 on 25/05/2015 - 11:25
      +2

      1 - still true for all
      1 & 2 - true for those who got in early, but remains to be seen if orders will be cancelled. The last time this happened, most orders were cancelled; some who ordered only 1x100 gift card had their orders delivered.
      3 - remains to be seen for this deal, for those who will have their orders honoured. Some got their cash back from the last deal(s).

      • SydOzber on 25/05/2015 - 14:24

        I can confirm that I've received a confirmation e-mail from CashRewards.

        P.S: Just the 7.5% discount, no extra 15% off for me.

        • illumination on 25/05/2015 - 14:38

          I got an email from CashRewards confirming that they have recorded the transaction too, but I am expecting it will probably not get approved (have had this happen before).

  • illumination on 25/05/2015 - 11:55

    Still waiting for my eGift Cards to arrive. Others in the same boat?

    • wtfnodeal on 25/05/2015 - 12:00

      • illumination on 25/05/2015 - 13:19

        I guess it does say 2-4 business days… just seems unusually slow for an electronic delivery + compared to CashRewards.

    • lomie on 25/05/2015 - 12:50

      From the last deal, it took quite a while for the egift card to arrive.

  • illumination on 26/05/2015 - 23:10

    What I thought it was expiring midnight… I swear the Groupon ticker showed that it was ending at midnight before.

    • tight-ass on 26/05/2015 - 23:50

      Midnight eastern standard time….still they finished up 10 minutes early by my watch

      • illumination on 27/05/2015 - 00:37

        Yea I posted that at 23:10 AEST. 50 mins before (supposed) expiry.

        • SydOzber on 27/05/2015 - 10:24

          That's probably because they've now come up with another 15% off deal.

        • illumination on 27/05/2015 - 10:41

          @spk: No I'm saying they ended the deal at (according to this deal) 7:42pm last night, but I remember seeing the counter which indicates when the deal is ending saying it would be ending at 11:59pm (or 12:00am) last night (i.e. they ended 4:17 early).

          This 15% off coupon you're talking about was released this morning, so even if they had ended it at 11:59pm the 15% off coupon code wouldn't have been usable anyway.

  • daver on 27/05/2015 - 06:48

    Was waiting for confirmation dispatched Woolworths ecard and thought tomorrow. Darn. Please open a further round so can buy bigw BT mouse before expiry in later today. Thanks /groupon

    Honestly Groupon is like that horrible Ex who you despise and swear you'll never hook up with again and yet you do and then hate yourself for doing so afterwards as you are reminded of all the horrible bad habits and crap they put you through.

    Absolutely dodgy as can be business practices (issuing coupons rather than the actual goods so they can avoid paying taxes + hiding offshore) and then really crap customer service and goods sent out incredibly slowly with rubbish/joke tracking system!

    Suffice to say still waiting for 3 x gift card emails here. :-/

    • Lucifersfury82 on 28/05/2015 - 15:45

      That was my plan also, probably why they are holding off :(

      • knackers on 28/05/2015 - 16:53

        don't think the two are connected.. I think groupon loves to park our money in some high interest bearing account for as long as possible. They have until close of business today, 6pm?

        • shaybisc on 28/05/2015 - 17:04

          High interest bearing account: tee hee: don't think so.

    This is a reply I received last night… really don't think it's fair to have to wait another 2 days… they're probably not going to work over the weekend? Should I do a charge-back now? How does one do that on a Citibank CC?

    Hi Amelyn,

    Thank you for contacting Groupon Australia and sorry to hear that you haven't yet received your Woolworths eGift card.

    If you haven't received it yet, please check your spam/ junk folder, as these e gift cards will end up there sometimes. Also, there might be some delays while we are sending these e Gift cards to our customers. Hence, I would request you to wait for two more days.

    Incase, if you are unable to locate the e gifts cards within the above mentioned timeframe, please let me know and I will investigate this further.

    Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Regards,

  • peter000 on 29/05/2015 - 08:46

    Ordered and paid by cr card on 23 May. The appropriate amount has been debited to my card, but nothing happened until I got a bizarre email from "Shameem" (no family name given) at Groupon stating that my account was blocked and my payment had "abnormalities" whatever that means. Then he stated -

    "If the purchase is genuine, please provide the scanned copy of your PayPal statement matching the purchase and the Groupon account details".

    Rang Groupon and got the runaround… call centre lady could not tell me what the problem is and stated that the only way to resolve it is to provide the scan etc etc etc. I have no intention of doing this, apart from being a nuisance its a breach of my privacy. I asked her to cancel my order forthwith, can my membership of Groupon and refund my money (over $900) immediately. The best she could do was to state that she will report my request to the "other section" (the one I am not allowed to communicate with directly) and they "should" be able to comply with my wishes. Its a bloody joke of a way to do business so I then contacted Paypal and they have escalated this matter.

    Watch this space.

      • peter000 on 31/05/2015 - 09:36

        They finally got off their butts yesterday after I posted a complaint to the Groupon Facebook page suggesting that it was dodgy behaviour. Profuse apologies then came from the mystery man, Shameen, and the promise that the $925 refund was approved BUT this could take up to 10 business days. Crappy service from crappy Groupon….never again. I await the refund with bated breath.

          Sorry, what I meant to say that Everyday Gift Cards (from Woolworths) will send you an email with the egiftcard in pdf format.

          How to Redeem

          2) Ensure you enter correct address at

          in approx. 2-4 business days from the
          domain @everydaygiftcards.com.au
          4) You will not be sent a Groupon
          voucher via email, only use the BIG W
          eGift Card for redemption
          5) Use the BIG W eGift Card in-store or by
          following the
          instructions on the gift card

          @unclesnake:
          You can trash the groupon voucher, it has no value. Woolies (everydayrewards) will email you the vouchers.

          Do note that you can only use these e-gift cards at caltex stations displaying "save up to 8 cents". It is not valid at stores stating "save 4 cents".

    Just finished having a 'live chat' with Groupon to ask where my e-gift cards are. Purchased on the 23rd May.

    They claimed they had already sent them through and to check my spam……obiviously this is just BS from them. I asked when they sent them and they claim 1:54am today, however they will resend them and I should have them within 24hrs, if not they advised I should contact them again.

    To all those who have purchased a gift card, start contacting them to put the pressure on.

    • surat on 29/05/2015 - 11:11

      They won't work. You need to get an eGift card from the everydaygift cards people…

      My understanding on how it works is:

      Customer buys from Groupon, Groupon buys from everydaygiftcards, and everydaygiftcards sends it to customer…

    • airpoe on 29/05/2015 - 12:43

      • b_sean on 29/05/2015 - 13:46

        They have made it confusing by calling it a 'voucher'. It is merely a receipt/acknowledgement of the purchase in a way from what I have been told.
