Recently I took advantage of the Cash Rewards Offer for NEW CUSTOMERS to Hello Fresh and Thought that was pretty amazing ($85 off the total cost).

However since getting my box I got a generic code for NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY which is used in the check out to discount your order by 100%. This works for any combination of Classic, Veggie or Family Box.

Bonus is that you can choose different options depending on what box you want.

Classic - 2/4 people, 3/5 meals
Veggie - 2/4 people, 3 meals
Family - 4 people, 4 meals

Best combination being for 4 people and 5 meals on the Classic Box for $0 delivered (usually $189.95)

Remember to Cancel it straight away if you dont wish to have it every week as its a subscription service which will to continue to deliver to you unless you tell it otherwise!

Changes to your account (meaning ordering or cancellations) need to be done before Wednesday 11:59PM (Sydney time) the week prior to your next delivery. Users should cancel or downgrade their box after they've ordered as they prefer. You can deactivate after you have made your order by clicking on your account and settings. Click deactivate immediately as the 1st order will still be delivered, just nothing subsequently after this.

Happy Eating!

** Havent tried the cashrewards discount in conjunction but doubt you would get the rebate on $0
** Only valid with Households first Box
*** Subject to you living in an area that they deliver to
**** I got given multiple cards to give to friends but they all have the same code - not sure how many order will get through but hopefully its unlimited!

Where do you deliver?

We deliver to most suburbs in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and in Albury, Bendigo, Ballarat, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast Cairns, Townsville and the Southern Highlands.

    FYI, HelloFresh had been banned for a while due to referral spam however this code is a coupon code. We have tested it and gets you a $189.95 food box for free. I'm getting mine delivered next week so will update then.

    Just note, you need to cancel before Wednesday 11:59PM before your next scheduled delivery to not get charged. So for example, I'm getting mine delivered Monday the 19th, I need to cancel the next one by the 21st at 11:59PM. Remember this is a subscription. You can unsubscribe immediately after you sign up if that helps you to remember.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/12/2016 - 14:06

      so cancel the wednesday before the second delivery? (the first delivery being the 'free' one)

        Either.

      I was given this code by a friend recently (same code, didn't realise it was generic) and we ordered the family box for 5 meals. It arrived despite me paying nothing! There was plenty of food but we didn't like the food at all - they sounded nice in practice but we found them super bland.

    • Japius on 17/12/2016 - 13:28

      Got mine deliveredthis morning, decent amount of food, cancelled my subscription so a free box of food excellent deal OP

      Just to update. Got my box on Monday and cancelled later that night. Very easy to make healthy meals with all of the ingredients included. I'll give a more detailed rundown at a later time but here is what was in my box.

      Protein-wise I got (4 person box):

      • 2 x 363g Salmons
      • 2 x 284g Rump Steaks
      • 2 x 370g Pork Schnitzels
      • 2 x Lilydale 319g Packs of Chicken Thigh
      • 2 x Lilydale ~400g Packs of Chicken Breasts

      Lots of random veggies that go into the 5 meals.

      So meals I cooked so far are Chicken Souvlaki (chicken thighs, pita, baby spinach, cucumber etc.), Garlic Chicken with Jasmine Rice.

      I'm not very picky with what I eat whereas the mrs is (e.g. no seafood), so this would never work for us. Coles and Woolworths could make a killing off something like this. Just have preset meals which will autoselect all the ingredients you need and add to your online order + chuck a printout of the recipe in the order (or a PDF online).

      • tomsco on 23/12/2016 - 10:18

        Nice. Thanks for the pic. I'm guessing you didn't use the original code, but one of the ones in the comments?

        Only 2x steaks? I understand the others as they are much larger portions, but it doesn't sound like a lot of steak.

      You can cancel now but choose your last delivery as 'Monday the 19th'.

        • dderr345 on 14/12/2016 - 14:11

          Wondering this as well. I'm assuming it's deactivate right away since technically we've already ordered. Will await confirmation before I do though.

          I selected 'Order last' which worked.

          You'll then get a pop up and confirmation email that will say:

          Your deactivation has been processed immediately. After your final delivery on 19 Dec 2016 you will receive no further deliveries.

          19 Dec 2016 being the date for the first/free delivery.

          Any popup after deactivation? I got a popup that said the same as the email which came a few mins later:

          Your subscription is now deactivated
          Your last box is scheduled for delivery on December 19, 2016 after which you will receive no further deliveries

          Thanks so much for being a part of the HelloFresh family

        • Raq on 14/12/2016 - 15:02

          @SeriouslyJk:

          Try deactivating again - and go through the entire process (including the survey) until you see the "
          Your subscription is currently deactivated" on Subscription Info screen.

          I made a mistake of closing the survey (as the final Submit button was on the bottom) instead of selecting a reason (I just wanted to try it out or something like that) and requesting the cancellation.

        I mean, if it were a few people making the orders then it would be understandable. You posted it on OzB, so when hundreds of people make the order within a short period of time and then deactivate/cancel their accounts, that will raise some red flags from the company's perspective, don't you think? And I don't think this is a billion dollar company (haven't heard about them before today), so I am not sure if they're able to deliver tens of thousands of dollars worth of food for free.

          Fyi They are a multi national company. Have operations from USA, netherlands, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium.

          Source wiki.

          Pretty sure they can handle this scale of operation. They are active in Groupon see them in kiosk mall in Hornsby on occasion..

          Their margin is pretty big. I buy it for the convenience.

      You can cancel immediately after you have ordered if you dont want to continue it as a subscription. You can select to receive no further boxes after the first one you ordered. Saves you possibly forgetting to unsubscribe.

      • Autonomic on 14/12/2016 - 14:15

        Do you select 'deactivate immediately' or 'order last box and deactivate'?

          Fair point.

      They're pretty big. from wikipedia "In September 2015, Baillie Gifford together with Insight Venture Partners and Rocket Internet raised US$85 million for a Series F round. This round placed HelloFresh at a US$2.9 billion valuation."

      Also the $35 "Gift Cards" they handed out at train stations were dishonest enough for me to say stuff these guys.

    • bargainbenny on 14/12/2016 - 14:23

      I personally really liked the product as actually will continue to buy it. Whether the customer chooses to continue the service or not is their choice. It was made clear to me that due to it being a subsccription we need to be explicit so people dont get into trouble with huge food bills that they dont know how to stop. I understand your point however and would hope that if ozbargainers enjoy the product that they would continue with the service.

      I also had the same experience with them, was charged an additional box.. gave up in the end as they refused to refund and the fight was no longer worth it. (ACCC etc etc..)

      P.S. the groceries weren't 'fresh' - if anything they deteriorated pretty quickly
