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.

        Cancelling or not doesn't matter.

        If their box wasn't a huge rip off then people would reorder again, there is nothing stopping them from doing that.

        But we won't, because the company is shitty and the products are a rip off.

    Now that they have my contact details they are sending me promotion emails after cancelling my order:

    "Hello [Name],

    It's the season of giving and this Christmas we've teamed up with Foodbank so you have the chance to help Australians in need.

    If you're planning to pause your HelloFresh subscription for the week of Christmas, you can now choose to donate your box instead. Simply click 'donate your box' below and you'll be charged for your box, but not receive your delivery (deliveries from 24/12/2016 - 28/12/2016). We'll work with Foodbank to donate the value of your box in much needed food…."

        Good idea but I expected some wording on their own contribution. From the email it sounds like they just want to get $180 off me and give overpriced food to those in need. That's how they have made $3bn worldwide…

        • nug0 on 15/12/2016 - 15:50

          Spoke too soon, my account seems to still be active. I also contacted their support and apparently I received the cancellation email in error…

          EDIT: To clarify, the support person said my order "has gone through successfully" and that I can expect it on my specified delivery date.

        • nug0 on 15/12/2016 - 16:33

          Just got another email from support, this time stating that the previous advice was incorrect (as I suspected). They're a bit all over the place but they gave me another code so I might try that :). My original account which used the "faulty" code appears to have been changed. They changed the login email, deactivated the subscription, and I think they also removed the payment information.

    Definitely a nice way to collect customer data and start spamming at the same time they cancel the order.

    Has anyone tried to cancel the subscription? You have to confirm it x times that you really want out and to top it all off you can't even cancel without giving a reason which i believe would violate some rules/regulations.

    • nug0 on 14/12/2016 - 22:53

      What exactly is it violating? Can't you just say "No comment"?

    This is like the David Jones Duffle Bag deal, 1K+ orders placed and then cancelled a short time later.

    Looks like people haven't learnt their lesson from that deal and thought they would have a higher chance of getting this item as the sum is 30 cents higher - despite the bag being 70 cents, many didn't bother to call/go in-store for a refund so DJs pocketed free money. But I think there should be a poll for which deal is better in terms of the hilarious comments 😂

    Just received spam email from them even though they supposedly cancelled my account.
