I thought this was good enough to deserve a separate post.

  1. Sign up to COTD using a referral link (which will give you $10 credit). Sign up to the free trial of the Club Catch membership (and be sure to untick the auto-renew).

  2. Make your first order worth $50 through the iOS/Android app. You get 50% off for the sale in the link, $5 off for your first purchase on the app, and free postage for orders >= $50. This will come to a total of $20 delivered and should get your account credited with the $10 for the referral. On your order confirmation, you will get a message saying you get $20 off on your next order for visa checkout. Which brings us to…

  3. Make another $50 order, with the 50% off, free shipping and $20 off for visa checkout (you don't need a visa card for visa checkout either, it lets you use all the major credit card types), this will come to $5. On your order confirmation, you will get a message saying you get $10 off on your next order for visa checkout. Which brings us to…

  4. Make another $50 order, with the 50% off, free shipping and $10 off for visa checkout, this will come to $15. On your order confirmation, you will get another message saying you get $10 off on your next order for visa checkout. Which brings us to…

  5. Repeat (4). But sadly, the fun ends there.

However, you should have made 4x $50 orders costing $20, $5, $15 and $15 each delivered. With the $10 referral credit, this should come to $45 all up if my math is any good (However I fear the referral credit might auto-deduct off the $5 order, which would mean it would cost $50 all up, but that's still great).

I don't think I can add the referral link to the bottom of this post because I haven't been a member long enough, but if someone else could do that it would be great.

Edit: Sorry I didn't make that clear, you can use whatever payment method for the first order, on the order confirmation for that first order a message will pop up saying you will get a discount on your next order if you use visa checkout on that next order

      Doesn't that mean they hold your money on for that dummy $50 order for 3-5 business days?

      Edit: This does work and instant cancellation. However funds are held under Outstanding Authorisations.
      Also only got $10 twice (and used twice)
      Cancellation also resets the per customer limit, very useful when using this for free postage

        Also cancelled my first order after confirming getting the 2nd $10 off (to be applied on 3rd order). Made my last order the same as 1st.

        Ended up with 2x WD N900's (for the 2x 2.5" 1TB HDDs) for $15 each. :D

    so the best way to take advantage of this is to have at most $50 in your cart each time?

    • Tasmaniac on 05/09/2015 - 02:52

      Definitely :) Once you add around $300 worth to your cart ($75 each transaction) the total savings drop to about 66% off. $300 worth for $100 is still great value though :)

    can of or anyone kindly elaborate how to get the first checkout to be $20 as mine came out like $47 even with the android App$5 bonus!

    • Tasmaniac on 05/09/2015 - 04:21

      The discounts don't apply until you reach the checkout. After the first purchase check your email for a confirmation that includes the $20 Visa discount.

    • Tasmaniac on 05/09/2015 - 04:24
      +1

      Your first purchase should be $20 if you apply the $5 signup ($50-50%=$25 , $25-$5=$20). Just make sure your selecting items from the "50% off in cart page".

  • pennypincher on 05/09/2015 - 07:22

    4:sign up another new account using the old account referral link (if you have another visa/master card)
    repeat1,2,3 again?

    If you cancel the order to get the credit, I'm afraid that they will trace down the history and cancel all your orders :(
    I wouldn't say they all junk. Just don't need any of them atm…

    AMAZING DEAL!!!

    Razer Taipan Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse, 8200 dpi 4G dual $49.95
    milka chocolate $4

    gets me over the $50 free shipping

    msy sells the mouse for $55 and it's a decent gaming mouse too :)

    the $10 referral will auto deduct from 2nd purchase so it will be

    $20, $0, $15 , $15 = $50+

    it won't be exactly $50 since you have to get over $50 for free shipping but close enough!!!

    also you can stop at second purchase meaning $100 worth of items for $20!!!

    • CyberMurning on 05/09/2015 - 08:51

      Oh referral $10.. Op didn't include on his calculation

      • neosin on 05/09/2015 - 08:54
        +2

        Nope first order is $20 ish read the description $50 x 1/2 = $25 - $5 app credit = $20 with free shipping

        second on is free because it is $50 x 1/2 = $25 - $20 visa checkout credit = $5 - $10 automatic referral credit = $0

        :)

        I've done this already so it's 100% confirmed!

        • CyberMurning on 05/09/2015 - 09:06

          yeah got it. in this case better stop at second purchase, ie $100 worth for $20 and rinse and repeat.
          if you need to buy $200 now you can get them for $40, less than OP ($45). and the referal etc etc are instant, right? i can just follow the steps right away?

  • ozbpro10 on 05/09/2015 - 08:53

    I don't get the free postage unless the order after discount is more than $50

      • ozbpro10 on 05/09/2015 - 09:17

        Actually even after discount more than $50, it still didn't give me free postage eventhough the Club Catch term says free postage for >$50. I need to contact COTD on this.

        • ben1680 on 05/09/2015 - 11:10

          Happened to me as well. You have to fill in your address manually in your profile before hit checkout.
          Once you do this, go back to your cart. It should now calculate things correctly.

        made 2 orders as per ops instructions. Mouse and sandwich maker were $40 each before discount.

        So i spent ~$5.50 (~$11 before discount) on filler items to save the $10 shipping fee for both orders.

    Thanks OP, works as described. I got up to step 3 before running out of things worth buying. But $10 visa checkout for each step lasts 7 days so could come in useful later.

    And yes you are right - the $10 referral voucher gets automatically taken off in step 2 ($5 step). I just added another $10 item ($5 in cart) to cart and paid nothing. So i think you could even say $210 of orders for as low as $45 :)

  • MelBourne on 05/09/2015 - 15:26

    I've signed up to the club catch, but I'm not getting free shipping in checkout! My chosen item is 'almost gone' so I dont want to pay this extra $10 when I've actually signed up to Club Catch…

    • cwongtech on 05/09/2015 - 15:30

      Order must be $50+ pre-discount for free shipping to activate.
      I.e. $49.95 pre-discount taipan mouse
      Won't work by itself
      However add this in cart $2 torch
      And it will

      • MelBourne on 05/09/2015 - 15:52

        Yep, im with you there. I did that. I actually picked that mouse + $5 lip balm, and order was over $50 pre-order.
        Yet when I go to checkout, I have the discounts applied, but still have $9.99 shipping to Melbourne address.

        :/

        • cwongtech on 05/09/2015 - 16:20
          +1

          The $9.99 will still apply, but the discount after actually compensates it.
          I.e. if you order the mouse by it self it will look like this

          SubTotal $49.99 [BF4 version]
          Standard Postage $9.99
          Discount -$24.99
          Total $34.99

          However if you add something to push it over the $50 pre-discount amount in cart, the discount shows in the Discount.
          Adding this to the cart
          SubTotal $54.08
          Standard Postage $9.99
          Discount(inc. Club Catch) -$34.98
          Total $29.09

          Postage doesn't disappear, it gets compensated in the Discount.

        • MelBourne on 05/09/2015 - 16:49

          @cwongtech: ahhh Yes I finally worked out that it was included… Also, one of the additional $6 dollar items I ended up adding wasn't 50% off, so that was confusing me.. Finally worked it out and now im a Club catch member!

    Razer gaming mouse, 2 cotton bath towels, 2 bras, a set of scales, 3x milka chocolate, key-ring torch, and 28 cuppa soups for the low price of $36. Thanks OP, one of the best deals in a while.

    This is complex,
    but it seems that if items that were in the 50% off group are searched directly, they still go into your cart with the 50% discount. Even though the sale has ended.

    As a demonstration here is a batch totalling $53.89 that I just bought for $6.97 using a VisaPay $20 off option.

    "Have a coupon code?
    Sub Total$53.89
    Standard postage - $9.99
    Discount (inc. Club Catch) - $56.91
    Total $6.97

    My Cart
    Faulding Remedies Vitamin C 500mg 500 Tabs
    2 x $4.99 = $9.98
    The Balloon Ride Pop-Up Book
    $7.99
    Explore Victoria's National Parks
    $9.99
    3 x Hamilton Family SPF30+ Roll On Sunscreen 50mL
    $4.95
    Tiny Smarts Flower Power Rattle
    $8.99
    Meet Snugglepot & Cuddlepie Board Book
    $11.99"

    Snag is, you need a record or a recollection of what was in the 50% off sale. Or perhaps find themjust by trial and error.

      No,
      seems not to be working now.
      Just tried to do some more and they are not getting the 50% discount anymore.
      I must have just scrapped in.
      Disregard that method above.
      Even though I did juggle my cart for 15 min or more after the sale closed and the 50% off held up at the time, it seems the window of opportunity has now closed.
