Okay, so I was going to Powerhouse Museum anyway and saw the post that was taken down yesterday because it required an unobtainable original voucher??? I had to pass by Paddy's from Central station, so I decided to investigate. The info desk at Market City upstairs had no idea, so I went down the escalators, turned left and entered Paddy's. There was an Paddy's info desk to the right of the entrance where they were signing people up for membership to Paddy's, and they confirmed the deal.
So the steps needed to get all of the above:
Sign up to Friends of Paddy's at https://paddys.nubonus.com.au/content.php
Confirm your e-mail and receive another e-mail with a barcode.
Bring barcode on phone or printout to the Paddy's Market office located within the market area during open hours, where they will present you with a $10 Paddy's voucher good for six months. I just checked my e-mail, and it looks like there was the possibility of getting more $5 voucher on the spot but I missed it because I was in a hurry to go to the Museum.
In front of the office counter, there is a stack of the $5 powerhouse admission voucher expiring on 31 March 2016. Grab as many as you need. Saw stacks more behind the counter glass wall.
Redeem for admission (Not including the DC Comics(TM) special LEGO(TM) exhibition) at Powerhouse museum, where they will say that they have a reciprocal agreement with Paddy's and give you another $5 Paddy's voucher per adult $5 admission (Kids under 16 are free).
Go shopping when done with the Museum, or whenever within the six months expiry.
All steps can be done there if you have internet connection on your phone. If you can't be bothered to get the Paddy's vouchers, just walk to the Paddy's Office (about 300m from the Powerhouse) during their open hours and grab the Powerhouse vouchers. So the Powerhouse original vouchers are certainly accessible.
Had a bit of drama at the Powerhouse where they initially insisted that it was a $5 OFF voucher instead of $5 Admission. My insistence that it was not a $5 discount feel on deaf ears, so I initially paid $10 per adult to enter, took a photo of the voucher, kept the receipt, and but told them to expect a call from Fair Trading. Apparently the counter staff decided to check with a manager and tracked my party down half an hour later in the Museum with an apology and a full refund. Turns out little ol merciless me was the first ever patron to use this particular voucher, and even the manager was not aware of such a steep discount being available until he read the voucher.
Before anyone asks, Paddy's T&C #9 includes no stacking and no re-use of vouchers, and I didn't have time to use them yet, so can't comment:
