        He's just a guy who negotiates some reduced prices and then posts deals to further reduce that price.

        Didn't say it wasn't, but it was irrelevant to previous comments so it was strange that it was brought up in the way that you did. Was suggesting others are under the influence of drugs "the height of manners" also?

        @scubacoles: my post had nothing to do with Monty specifically. It was more to do with the sellers. Given that hes associated, he could probably communicate to the chinese sellers that whilst these gimmicks are popular overseas, theyre not here.

        But then again, i chose not to say that directly to Monty.

        In any case, his response was rather unnecessary and defensive as if he is rep instead of an associate of the seller

        I'm "bitching" about a $5 code that wastes a fair amount of time. If your time is worth nothing to you that's your issue, but the more of these deals that exist and the more people put up with this the more of this we'll see. These kinds of gimmicks are no bargain.

        The Association generated the Coupon Code, the hacks are a bonus. If you don't want the inconvenience to save the extra $5, then no one is forcing you to.. the coupon will work whether you use the extra hacks or not!

        The title included all the discounts so I commented on the deal as a whole and on the lack of respect the company has for their customer's time.

        So once again, you're confusing the company (Everybuying) with the OP (monty.melb) when there is no logical reason to do so.

        The company offers loyalty points for signup and for buying stuff. Hardly wasting anyone's time
        and they offer a mobile site so you don't have to load their full site on your mobile device… again, not wasting anyone's time!

        monty.melb posted a deal with a coupon and a guide on how to hack the above system to get a small extra discount. You've wasted more time defending your stance than you'd have spent taking advatage of the hacks, so I question your claim that your rime is not worth the $5 hack since we now have evidence that you're happy to waste time for free!

        Are you really that sad that you need to go about taking over the entire damn thread with an abusive tantrum? You told me I should report the comment and move on. Yet how many responses have I had from you now? (Do as I say, not as I do, huh?) What new points have you made? NONE. Now you're dragging previous threads into it because you've run out of material? And you accuse me of going off on tangents? What on earth is wrong with you? Did you fail comprehension that you can't understand the irony? Do you honestly not realize you're being a bully and a troll? Or is this how you get your kicks? Do you not have any hobbies or interests to put your time into that you need to go digging through Ozbargain for old discussions?

        I'm SO VERY glad I don't know you in person. You sound like a lot of work. The hilarious thing is I'm certain you think you're making me look bad or making me feel bad as if the ramblings of an incoherent logically inconsistent bully are going to hurt my feelings. Go on.

        Gents i think its fair to say i have a clear view and opinion on this. When i made the original post, i still believe people are entitled to the opposite view and i personally believe its valid to have points based loyalty discounts

        I was merely venting my frustration with every single deal slapping the "btw you can get it even cheaper if you create another fake email and sign up to a new account". To me thats no longer a real bargain anymore, more like a loophole like the 5% price match at office works. Loopholes arent really bargains

        but that is not to say that they are still valid deals ppl save money with.

        I was just venting my opinion and i respect the others. It doesnt change that i wish everybuying would just do a decent flat out single couple discount of say $25 instead of $20+$5 with additonal steps and conditions though

      Geez. The ozbargain whiteknights are out in full force tonight

      These additional steps are just gimmicks. If youre going to give a $5 discount. just give a $5 discount

      Why make a customer jump through hoops?

      has nothing to do with being entitled. Do you think its a good customer experience?

      Supporting this just reinforced this type of behaviour

      And i have chosen to vote with my wallet and not bought, so whats you're point besides stating the obvious?

      • 

        illumination on 26/07/2016 - 00:16

        Gimmicks? I don't know how you define "gimmick" but I don't think it's a gimmick.

        I have also voted with my wallet (well I'm not in the market anyway so I guess it doesn't really count) and not bought.

        I don't think it's a good customer experience, so I agree with you on that point.

        However, as to why they make us jump through so many hoops? I'm not really sure. I haven't really thought about it to be honest.

        But lets break it down then (this is pure speculation on my end):

        • Make a new account to get a discount - I would liken this to rewarding new customers as opposed to loyal customers (i.e. banks giving 50k bonus Qantas points to new customers)
        • Discount for using mobile website - I actually can't think of why this would be the case. Trying to encourage use of the mobile website and maybe it's cheaper for them for you to load the mobile pages??
        • Verify email & upload pic - this sounds like how you sometimes get rewarding with a freebie/discount. Not sure why either though.

        In summary, look, I understand the jumping through hoops is/can be annoying, but it's not exactly an uncommon practice and it's not even something that gets questioned often. In fact, most people around me who I tell about Ozbargain often get put off by the deals because of the "effort" involved (which to me and I suppose many others is insignificant). They don't say stuff like "whatever happened to add to cart and pay?" - they are the ones that simply do it without questioning it.

        So… yea I don't really understand your point either.

      • 

        Japius on 26/07/2016 - 06:54

        There's no hoops other than the uploading the pic if you are a genuine new customer, clearly these are not intended for existing customers so yes there are hoops for existing customers to pretend to be new customers. They clearly don't want these things abused by everyone and are offering onuses to get new users/harvest email addresses….

        I jump through hoops every time I do an online order with Coles to create a new email address to get free delivery for my "first" order, it sucks and is a waste of time but none of these companies give a crap about offering incentives to existing users so they bring this on themselves when half of their user base is fictitious/duplicate users and its relatively easy to be a "new" customer

        I think these deals in particular just seem extra annoying because of the relatively low dollar savings for each step and the multitude of similar offers from similar places that require less effort…but if you want "the" lowest this is how its done I guess

        EDIT: Given Monty has the associated tag and one would imagine companies dont usually tailor incentives for new users and then actively go and promote existing users to create fake accounts to take advantage of the incentives I can only imagine all they really want is more users to make themselves more attractive to be bought out by claiming to have a much larger customer base than they actually do?
