Lavazza A Modo Mio Minu Coffee Machine - Free (up to $25.50 Profit) after $50 Cashback @ Target

2000

20/8: As many of you are wondering where your claim validation is being 10 days now, it has been confirmed that they have been a little overwhelmed with claims and will take an extra 5 days to catch up. Also 32 free pods appear to be on their way.

Lavazza currently has a cash back promo on their pod machines until 6/9/15.
The Minu is collecting $50, Target currently selling for $49 (EDIT: Some stores are now selling at $24.50) (normally $59) so technically you can profit $1 (or $25.50) on these.
Still $49 at my local Target as of 14/8.

Like printers they love to make their money from the consumables so entry price is low, but ongoing can be high. Think the pods run about $10-$12 for 16. They are a nice compact unit though, so I grabbed one to keep as a backup if my automatic machine dies. (Cheers to my bro for spotting the special)

Some important info as per the T&Cs:
"Cash back of Lavazza A Modo Mio Minu White Capsule Machines are only available from Target and Dick Smith" so no price matching elsewhere on these ones.

Also the cash back form hasn't been updated completely from the last promo, and after submitting will tell you that its outside the (previous) valid date range but it goes through OK. You'll receive a confirmation e-mail and Lavazza state they will notify you of your claims validity within 10 days. (This has also been confirmed here)

It has now also been confirmed that multiple claims are ok

Not currently available online but should be plenty of stock across Target stores (although is listed under Clearance on Target website so may vary).

  • Just wondering does it actually taste good with frothed milk ? I tried with 200ml of heated milk non-frothed, with sugar.. Taste was on par with my instant coffee (Carte Noire)

    I've just been drinking espresso's which this machine is very good at. Pretty nice and smooth compared to instant coffee. Not as harsh as stove top coffee.

    (Using Intensamente pods red colour)

  • Just got an email about getting the frother for free if you buy 5 boxes - so basically spend 60 or so bucks, get the frother for free. Anyone receive their $30 frother from them already? Just wondering if I should bite for this offer. And anyone have any luck with the free 2 boxes yet?

    • I received my $30 frother with a free box of pods on Friday last week.

  • +8

    I hadn't received my cash back yesterday after 12 days so gave them a call…. Seems as though we have overwhelmed the office and there is a slight delay on the refunds. They confirmed with me that my refund has been approved, just hasn't gone through the finance side yet. Should go through within the next 3-5 days. Also free pods have arrived so that side of the deal is still working :)

    • -1

      Hey glad you got those pods, I didn't really think they would come.

    • Thanks for the update - we appreciate it.

    • Are you meant to get an email confirmation that the cashback went through, or just check your bank account?

  • I received my milk frother today that I paid $30 for… new deal with 5 packs of pods seems better. But no sign of those free pods…

  • +1

    Did anyone other than Organised Chaos above get their 32 free pods?

    • +1

      Nope.

    • +1

      None here either.

    • Nope, got my cashback though

  • +4

        but I ordered multiple machines with same email ID and bank details. Fingers crossed for remaining cashbacks.

        • +2

          As did I. I got both confirmed :)

    • -3

      Have to wait for another 28 days before returning it to Target ?

      • -2

        ppl are abusing the voting function, why neg this little bit of sarcasm??

    Got the cash back confirmation email today. Got the milk frother earlier this week. But still no sign of my 2 boxes of free pods.

  • +1

    Also got the confirmation this morning, but only for 1 machine. I picked up another machine for a family member and registered cash back at the same time.

    • Same!

    • I still don't have mine. :(

      Did you get the bug where it said it was outside of the promo period? Something around May 30.

  • +1

    OK So who is gonna call them asking for our 2 free boxes of pods?

  • Get my email this morning woohoo free coffe machine

    • +1

      Pods are pricey so that not until you get the 32 free pods,you have not won yet.

  • +2

    I got the same email today but the funny thing is that I submitted claims for 4x separate minu machines with separate invoices (separate online claims forms and initial email confirmations). I have emailed to ask why I have only received one "cashback approval" email and what bearing this has on my other claims.. will wait and see how they reply I suppose. Each separate claim was the same name/email address.

    • +1

      let me know how you go.

      • +1

        Will do…am actually longtime fan of the whole mio modo system, gone through $mega$ in capsules and machines will all be put to use so hope they do the right thing!

        • +1

          cool, yea seems like a great machine! been using it for 2 weeks only now, already bought 3 packs of pods trying to figure out what I like most, which is your favorites?

    • I emailed them attach both my receipt , still waiting for their reply too. Lodged in with same email and name. Hope they will look into it. Or else nowt sure which machine I should return to target

  • Might be a little late to the party, but is this still deal still active? Can I still go buy a coffee machine now and claim the cashback?

    • I think the promo by Lavazza (or whoever runs the cash back)is still on according to the date in the original post, however, the price for this specific coffee machine may have increased by Target as their sale has ended, hence wont be a "free" coffee machine any more

      • Still priced at $49 in one Target last weekend.However,we must be sure that Lavazza will issue cashback before getting more.

        • which store?

        • +1

          @lolmao: Rouse Hill,info might be outdated.

  • I just bought a machine last Friday and submitted the cashback online. Received the email yesterday saying claim approved and will be deposited into my bank account within 28 days.

  • Does this mean if sent multiple emails they are all approved? I have only got one.

    .

    • I suggest calling or emailing them to confirm.

  • Any one called lavazza for multiple claims or free pods?

  • +1

    I am the same boat.
    I submitted 2 claims separately but only received one confirmation for the approval.

  • Got my $50 cash-back approval, my $30 frother+16 caps, but still waiting on my free capsules (registered on 6th Aug) http://store.amodomio.com.au/free-capsules/

  • Any update on multiple claims?

    • -3

      No…i got 1 cashback out of 9 so far :(

      • +2

        thats what you get for being greedy

        • Multiple claims allowed. Probably more of an issue with staff training at the outsourced cashback company contracted or have a later date to fulfill customers with multiple claims after round one.

  • Can I just get a shoutout of people who have received the free pods? And I am in the same boat, I have gotten one confirmation, waiting on another.

  • +5

    Contacted Support, You only get one approval email even if you applied for 100 cash backs

    • +1

      So your other claims will go through anyway?

      • +1

        Yea they should be approved if one is, but if you want to be 100% then its better to call them

    • +1

      Thanks for reporting this!

  • +2

    For free pods, They are just going around. No one even knows that this promotion even existed

    • +1

      LOL. This means they are not up to Nespresso marketing level yet. They should at least include 1 free pod for each flavour in the pack at least we don't need to buy a pack of 16 to find out that flavour is not my cup of coffee.

      • Yep we are not getting the free pods.. Thats an old offer which is not valid anymore..

        • +1

          From memory, offer was launched late last year until 18000 machines are registered… Thats alot of machines.

          Did you get official confirmation ?

          Cashback company pointed me to Lavazza Customer Service 1300 675 613.

    Just got my cashback email just now. First lodged on 17th August.

      I sent an email to the cashback company 2 days ago listing the serial numbers of my claims (total of 2).

      They replied today saying both have been processed successfully. I also just got one email.

      • Good to hear that!

    $50 cash back appeared in my bank account today.

      What you think the free or small profit you made is not good enough?

  • Received my cashback today :)

    Still no sign of the free pods :/

  • I received one cashback today, and I did submit another one several days later, so I just hope that the second cash back will come later on! Did anyone else do this too?

    Has anyone else actually received their free pods, or is it just @Organised Chaoswho has so far? Pics or it didn't happen :P

  • +1

    I haven't received cash back or pods yet. Will give them a call or email tomorrow.

  • -2

    Got all my 10 cashbacks today, disappointed I didn't purchase more as there where over 30 in store.

    Least have Xmas and etc sorted, 10done and another 10 needs to be ozbargined searched, have some months left, please pot some more nice things up :)

  • Heads up to anyone who placed capsule orders with Lavazza, I called them today because I was still waiting on my order from 19/08 (5 boxes plus free frother). Apparently the company that was running the operation was going under or something and they just handed it to another company which has no idea what's going on. They even asked me how long should it take for orders to be received, I told them 2 days for Sydney. I'll be lucky to get them next week since the hand over completes on next Tuesday. At least they stopped online orders, but I expect they will have a huge backlog to go through. So like I said before, no chance of getting free capsules.

    • Fantastic. Happy I didn't order now.

    • How does it follow that the 32 capsules won't come through for people claiming the separate minu promotion via a legit online form? I do admit the change of 3rd party doesn't look promising….

      • Because:

        1. The promo has been running since August 2014 until sold out (thats a year ago). Pretty sure they have sold out by now. Or they can easily say the free capsules have been claimed.
        2. Not sure how legit the promo is, considering it was linked by an Ozbargainer and not official. The promo is not listed anywhere on the website, nor mentioned in the packaging, in store or email etc.
        3. Several flavours were sold out when I ordered, don't see why they would prioritize free packs when they can sell them.
        4. The T&C says you will receive an email from Lavazza if your claim is valid. I have not received this nor have I heard anyone say they have had an emailing saying this. If they did I would have called them to get them to honour my claim.
        5. T&C also says it has to be from a participating retailer ADVERTISING this offer. Again there is no evidence of this. So we can't call them to ask them to honour this.
        6. Its been mentioned before that someone called and they had no idea about this offer and that's with the old team handling orders. Good luck with the current team that can't even get their paid orders going at the moment.
        7. There's only been one person who has said they received the freebie, though that is unconfirmed at the moment. No one else has received them that I can see and its been well past the 14 days expected delivery.

        My guess is that the $50 cashback offer replaces previous offers so you won't get both. But hey I registered as well and hope you are right for all our sakes, just not holding my breath.

        • If you only saw 5 boxes + free milk frother in your order then you did it wrong. You would still get the free box of pods on your first order over $30.

        • @wtfnodeal: Oh really? I thought I would receive it in the package I get, didn't know that it would be added to the order itself. When I added five packs I only got the free frother and free delivery added. How did you get the free pack added to the order?

        • @exile: there you go. The very first promo all people got $30 for milk frother comes with a box of free pods on yhe first order. Click the link to Lavazza website add 5 more boxes to your cart then remove the $30 milk frother. Your cart should have 6 boxes of pods and 1 milk frother for the price of only 5 boxes of pods. So that means Lavazza not longer sending the old promo to new customers doesnt mean it has ended.
          Edit, looks like all free pods and milk frother promo has ended.
          Edit 2, cash back form removed as well.
          Good luck to Lavazza outsourcing its marketing to a crappy company.

        • @wtfnodeal:
          I'm still seeing the cashback form. People have until sept 6th to claim/

        • @King Tightarse:

          Looks like there might be a few changes in the works.. the previous form is now 404 and the new one (on store.amodomio.com.au anyway) is currently unavailable (as is the T&C's PDF)..

          The new FAQ also states (may have been the case before but don't recall it):

          Who are the participating retailers?
          A participating retailer is any retailer nationally that displays advertising material communicating this offer and the online store of any of these retailers.

          As far as I have seen at my local Target, there was no advertising regarding the cashback so this could explain why Target is no longer listed on the form at http://lavazzavip.com.au/ (and remember it was a clearance line at Target)

        • @bamzero:
          Right, although those that bought during the promotion that end Sept 6th would be under the umbrella of that rule set.
          (I hope)

        • @bamzero: I don't know if they removed the advertising but when I bought mine they had a stack of Cash Back via Redemption leaflets next to the machines, The leaflet specifically mentions Target as a participating store. Can upload a pic if anyone has trouble redeeming, but should be ok I think.

        • @exile:
          That's good bamzero. I think we will be OK but its good back up if the new mob get argumentative.
          You got yours at Target too?

        • @King Tightarse:

          Yeah, I was thinking about new purchases.

          Anyway, it seems as lot have received their cash backs already, even those with multiple claims, and any new claims from this point on its probably a trickle compared to the original OzBargaining, so I don't think Lavazza is trying to screw anyone over..

          If the earlier comment about the marketing company handling it going under is true, then that makes more sense as to why all the changes now.

        • @exile: Any chance you can upload that pic with the leaflets please?

          First they sent me an email stating that my claim had been approved and then today I just received an email stating "Your Lavazza A Modo Mio cash back claim is invalid. Your claim has unfortunately been deemed invalid as the details that you have provided do not meet all the requirements as set out in the promotion’s terms and conditions."

          I didn't even realise that they changed the T & C's - can they even do that? Does anyone have a copy of the original T & C's?

        • @msjacqui:
          Did they specify HOW exactly you supposedly don't qualify?
          BTW the lady I spoke to today said the store doenst matter at all so its not that they came from Target.

        • @msjacqui: Here you go:

          http://i61.tinypic.com/fcmw74.jpg
          http://i60.tinypic.com/2vwedsh.jpg

          However, I think King Tightarse is right, its unlikely due to an issue with Target. Maybe give them a ring and they can tell you what went wrong.

        • @exile: I'll have to call them in the morning but I'll let you know how I go.

        • @msjacqui:

          the Mrs got the same email a call to their 1300 302 334 got it sorted out. they had marked it as being a staff discount and on checking the receipt they realized their mistake and said they will fix it up.

          just ring up and ask them to confirm the details and let you know what is wrong.

        • @nerd1: Phew! I called and they just couldn't open the scanned file with the receipt so hopefully all will be good now… thanks!

  • first was lodged on 7/8/15, confirmed, but not received CB yet, waiting~~

  • i checked back this thread just to see if anyone has received the free pods. it seems i am not alone.

  • Regarding the free pods, I emailed Lavazza Friday and got a response with a link. The link in the email is the same as the link posted in one of the comments here. So the free pods is legit.

    Make sure you put the serial number that is on the sticker at the bottom of the machine itself, and not the sticker that is on the box (the one on the box has 13 characters, instead of 14, though somehow the form accepted 13)

    • +1

      Thats weird because the one on the box says serial number . How could anyone think it was not? But you are saying the serial number actually on the machine is different? Or just has an extra digit?

    • +1

      Hey downero, did you get a confirmation email that you are getting the free capsules? That's strange since the cashback was accepted with the serial on the box. Please update us if your capsules do arrive.

      • +1

        Yes, sounds hard to believe the "serial number" on the box sticker is not "the serial number" !!?!!….. For what it is worth I got 2x lots of 2xboxes of free pods about 5 months ago with another couple of machines (before this latest deal with the Target minus) and I received them eventually. The coffee (esp. nice double shot of deciso with plenty of warm fresh milk) is *real good so I'm sure they get plenty of repeat business out of a few freebies…let's hope they see it like that and haven't lost track of the online submissions. I don't think I ever got email confirmation in the first place though…

        • Oops, brain fart on the S/N. Yes, the stickered S/N on the box is the same as the one stickered on the machine. I must have put in the store bar code.

          @exile: No confirmation email received.

          So looks like the free pods form has evaporated now.
