Who doesnt love a free gelato especially when its from Gelato Messina (Syd/Mel/GC)? Just download their app save a card for future payments & click on Claim link on the free $10 credit offer in the app. Make sure u select a store (for the offer to activate). Although you may use it anywhere you want. Hurry as its limited only to first 500 people doing all the above I just mentioned. Happy Ice Creaming :)

Oh BTW, the credit expires in 1 month.

Android
iOS Beware, the App has issues with the iPhone 4S screen size.

Mod: Note that the app will debit your card $1 for a pre-auth validity check, it won't be charged as such according to comments.

    Clicking on Android App link yields a 404 Error.

    Although Apple app is working.

    I found the app in the playstore pretty easily and it worked perfectly, sadly it expires in 1 month and I won't be in Melbourne yet :(. So I didn't claim.

      Thats very kind of you to let someone else njoy the gelato for you. M sure you would be blessed :)

      • hypie on 04/10/2016 - 13:22

        I would never keep Couch Potato? (whatever the white chocolate coated potato chip ice cream is called) from anyone! Best ice cream i've ever had.

        edit: Mr Potato Head! (I think)

  • sev snape on 04/10/2016 - 13:20

    Nice, thanks!

    So we don't order from the app - do we just show our phone to claim the voucher after ordering?

    • Deals4all on 04/10/2016 - 13:22

      Exactly, you dont order from app. You simply let the staff know you’re paying with the app and they would help you out.

    • Majosha on 04/10/2016 - 13:22

      Claim the deal in the app, check in to the store in the app, order your delicious frozen treat, then say you're paying via the app and show them your number. Claimed this deal last weekend and it went real smooth.

    • chillin222 on 04/10/2016 - 22:03

      This almost makes up for the arrogance of Messina's "cash only - #sorrynotsorry" signs. Still, would prefer to just pay with my card instead of having to use an app.

  • [Deactivated] on 04/10/2016 - 13:23

    basically 2 scoops for free. not bad

    • Deals4all on 04/10/2016 - 13:25

      Not just 2. Three scoops and in a very few stores 500ml as well.

      • chocfrogs456 on 04/10/2016 - 13:56

        oh do the prices vary between stores? I thought they were standard…

        • Deals4all on 04/10/2016 - 18:01

          They do. Just google for messina price list and u will get the whole list ;)

        • iaijutsu on 04/10/2016 - 22:14

          @Deals4all: Does not appear in google search results as far as I can see.

        • chocfrogs456 on 05/10/2016 - 10:24

          @Deals4all: can't see this. only thing is article about when they raised their prices last year, so that makes me think its consistent across all stores

        • Deals4all on 05/10/2016 - 10:28

          My apologies as I cant find that anywhere now too. But if you see the price increase list, you could see the price differences across their stores. I am based in SYD and can surely say the prices at the Star are cheaper than in Darlinghurst.

    However, they didn't apply any credit.
    Did anyone get the credit?

    • Deals4all on 04/10/2016 - 13:46

      Click on the HOME button and see on the top if it shows "Hi XXX, You currently have 0 points $10.00 Credit"

      • bob19 on 04/10/2016 - 13:59

        I have found out where the problem was. I didn't activate location.
        Got the credit now.

    Says offer is only valid if you pay with Aston Club - anyone know what Aston club is?

    Not sure if this makes a difference but I am registered with Star City in Sydney as my local store

    • ATreeFiddy on 04/10/2016 - 13:56

      Aston Club is a payment app. Have seen reference to it at a few pubs around Syd for setting up/paying a bar tab.

      • Blorgglorg on 04/10/2016 - 14:10

        tried to check out the Google app store app but it doesnt exist anymore - same with apple one :(

      • Associatedbjcolley @ Gelato Messina on 04/10/2016 - 18:24

        Hey!

        Aston Club is a mobile payment service, basically we provide the payment setup with the Messina app that enables you phone to 'talk' with the POS in the Messina Store. We used to also have a consumer app called (also called Aston Club) but this has been removed from both App Store/Google Play as we focus on our mobile payment infrastructure.

      I thought it was probably the business name.

    • niknah on 04/10/2016 - 14:22

      Can't figure this out. The link from their main page astonclub.com.au says "Item not found". I've brought stuff from these guys before via another app but I never didn't have to get an account with them.

      • venu on 04/10/2016 - 14:36
        +1

        The Aston Club payment system is integrated into the app. Just click 'pay in-store' from the gelato messina app, click the payment option if you haven't already (e.g. paypal or CC) and a 'tab' will start (similar interface to aston club). Tell them your unique number that is displayed on your phone and it will be charged to your account (less the $10 credit already in there).

        You can still download the Aston club app from that link when opening from an android phone (not PC. i just did it). But it doesn't look like u need to use it.

        • niknah on 04/10/2016 - 16:45

          I've figured it out, it quickly pops up a message saying "your phone number has already been associated with an aston club account", you'd miss it if you blinked.

    logged into PayPal as the payment method and it instantly added $10 credit for those not wanting to add a CC directly to the app.

    • Faithgrrl on 04/10/2016 - 14:05

      me too! Sweet as!

    • shajiby on 04/10/2016 - 14:12

      same, paypal worked fine for me!

    • sween64 on 04/10/2016 - 16:34

      And then you can remove the payment method and keep the credit.

    • Associatedbjcolley @ Gelato Messina on 04/10/2016 - 17:57

      You're spot on! The app supports Visa, MC, Amex (2% surcharge) + PayPal! We'll be adding Apple Pay & Android Pay ASAP; just need Google and Apple to update their local access.

    • Love a bargain on 04/10/2016 - 14:14

      Think you might need to have enough credit on that card to pay for the balance. I suspect you can only use the $10 credit if you pay via the app and, therefore, any amount over $10 will be changed to the card.

      • easternculture on 04/10/2016 - 14:20

    Claimed thanks op! Was a real Messina diehard before, although I got over it in recent months. But this is reason to get reacquainted!
    Also does the $10 have to be used in 1 visit or can spread over multiple?

    • Deals4all on 04/10/2016 - 14:10

      Well, to my best guess you can use the balance on multiple occasions. There is nothing mentioned (no asterisk) on the deal webpage.

      • Associatedbjcolley @ Gelato Messina on 04/10/2016 - 17:54

        It can be used across multiple transactions although the credit will expire within 1 month of being redeemed.

      If you've already registered for Aston Club with your current number, you'll get this error. Just register with a new mobile number. I used an old number that isn't being used, you can probably just use a made up number too.

      Once you put through unique details (those not having been entered on Aston Club), you should be able to enter your credit card/PayPal details, then claim the credit.

      • pizzaguy on 04/10/2016 - 15:00
