Get in today from 4pm on COTD freebie giveaways within their July Catchathon items - On the front COTD home page amongst the current Catachathon items COTD are placing & giving away 100 free items per hour at 4pm, 5pm & 6pm. The freebie will show up somewhere in the front page, and the first 100 folks to find it will get it for free – just pay $1 shipping!

Update: The next giveaway on COTD will be at 8pm - this time they are making it a little more difficult - quote"it'll be hidden in one of our 300 or so Catchathon products, so you'll have to do a little more hunting this time! "

NB: your selected item is not 'reserved' until you finalise the purchase!

TIP!: To Speed UP Your purchase: keep refreshing cotd page 1 2 mins before 6 PM 7 PM and 8 PM. Then do a Search 'Ctrl + F' for 0.0 > that auto selects the freebie in the page > Select/click the item > it will open a new page > then buy from there. Do not click Bite Me from the main page. It is very slow and has error.

To speed-up checkout - have your details, CC number,CC name etc typed in open Notepad, so you can copy paste into the page

“Pay with paypal” sometime causes problems for some!

  • Thanks to Greenzeto for the Tip!! -

Edit2: They have decided to have another giveaway at 8pm - (not 7pm (as they claim to be having a bite to eat!)

Edit: Apparently it will be extended (7pm, 8pm etc) if they decide enough positive feedback & people have 'liked' this offer as it appears on their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/CatchAustralia

methinks hopefully it'll continue regardless ;-)

    EDIT: foiled again!.

    looks like these things are getting lamer and lamer. this one doesn't even come with a picture. Hence "mystery", I guess. Too bad the product page doesn't work either.

      omg it cost $1…have a cry QQ more? or simply don't click it?

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 28/07/2010 - 22:48

      I think "Mystery" is the brand … probably not a great brand name since it tends to cause confusion.

      So … did it end with a sale of excess condoms? :D

      • ccrap on 29/07/2010 - 00:18

        you hit the nail on the head foundit. i think cotd actually succumbed to ozbargain forces as a number of ppl had called for the condom deal agin and voila there it was!

        • SomeGuyOnOzB on 29/07/2010 - 11:08

          hmm I've changed my mind about it :)

          I think the condoms are more expensive than the Mystery brand iPhone case

          Also, if used for what they are used for, the condoms may prevent unwanted pregnancies and the spread of diseases … :)

    Mystery Top Quality iPhone Case By 4Mac!Assorted colours & designs randomly selected!

  • sydneywest on 28/07/2010 - 18:01

    $1 case cant be wrong

    • greenzeto on 28/07/2010 - 18:09

      the reason why this item is CHEAP and it is free is because there is/are problems with iPhone4 at the moement. And, this iPhone Case will sort of "Fix" it. it is the trick from Apple. So, suggestion: Do not buy iphone till next batch. or u will have problem with connection etc.

  • Amanda856 on 28/07/2010 - 18:01

    Ordered 1 hehe, I had 2 in my cart to begin with and was only going to cost me $1.50, but didn't think it would work so quickly managed to change it back to 1 and still ordered

  • alfy on 28/07/2010 - 18:02

    Let us hope they don't extend the freebies.

    I hate it how COTD run these promo's yet they still can't build a website that does not time out and reserve stock.

    • X200T on 06/08/2010 - 23:11

      If I hate the company, does OzBargain allow to give a negative vote?

      • SomeGuyOnOzB on 10/08/2010 - 14:17

        Commenting seems to be okay-ish, but negative votes for that aren't liked.

        People will probably talk about pros and cons after such a comment and it's generally recommended to talk about your experiences and/or reasons for not liking the company. :)

  • dmc900 on 28/07/2010 - 18:04

    Missed out :S

    Each page seems to take 30 seconds to load. Not sure if it's my wireless or their webservers slow since everyone rushing to get the deal. Cannot believe they have 100 and they allow each person to have 5. That's a deal for 20 people if people wanna be greedy (:

    Oh wellz, I don't have an iPhone anyway. Would've been useless :) Unless I gave it to a friend.

  • leonheart1 on 28/07/2010 - 18:05

    Hmm. =/
    Are the deals getting worse or is it just me?
    An eBay check shows you can get an iPhone case for the same price and you can choose your color too.
    But then again COTD ones have a brand I guess.

    NewsFlash: "You found it! This here’s freebie #3 and there are only 100 available; all you have to do is pay $1 shipping. Check out our facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/CatchAustralia to see if or when we're releasing our next freebie!"

    Extracted from Facebook comments:
    CatchOfTheDay.com.au: Alrighty, thanks for all of your feedback! Looks like we've had a massive response! So we're going to take a quick dinner break and we'll see you back at 8PM with our next freebie! (2 mins ago)

    CatchOfTheDay.com.au: Oh, and Celestial Ace - I took your advice. Our next freebie will not be so easy to find this time - it'll be hidden in one of our 300 or so Catchathon products, so you'll have to do a little more hunting this time! Goodluck and we'll see you at 8pm! (1 min ago)

    parties over until 8pm
    waited around and got nothing dammit

    • dmc900 on 28/07/2010 - 18:14

      Ah it gets worse. I'm beginning to hate their ethics. Treat the guy who can afford decent internet with a great deal. Why not!

    • shopbot on 28/07/2010 - 18:33

      wait, so theres no freebie at 7pm?

    I've got each one so far, but with this last one, I had to sign in to Catch, add to cart, update quantity, check out with PayPal, got the 'Our servers are full' message, pressed back, pressed check out with PayPal again, logged in to PayPal, clicked confirm, clicked confirm again, and got the order successful message. I'm using Chrome which is generally regarded as a quick browser, so if you're not getting them in time, try using Chrome.

  • daydream on 28/07/2010 - 18:22

      Not if COTD doesnt update there server, it will just cause more crashes and the deals will last longer lol

    So hang on, for the next junk keyring (or iPhone accessory), we have to hunt through 300+ pages to find it.

    This just gets better and better. At least the last treasure hunt had some good buys, this one, not so much.

    • KnowingNothing on 28/07/2010 - 19:12

      I think you're being a bit harsh and exaggerating the 300+ pages as posted in the opening line of the bargain: "On the front COTD home page…". And if you've checked out the post edit and other comments, a simple method is just to Ctrl + F "$0.00" - which takes less than a second.

      And technically, these items are free and just the $1 registered shipping cost seems fair enough.

      • ccrap on 28/07/2010 - 19:36

        err.. pressing ctrl+f on home page aint gonna find you the freebies this time, read above, COTD said on facebook it will be hidden inside one of the deals this time.. which leads me to comment on your name.. nice choice :) jks

        • KnowingNothing on 28/07/2010 - 19:47

          Okay fair enough, missed that part. Still doesn't make it any less of a deal. And very funny, 1000th person to post about a "username" than was intended for humour. :)

          • ccrap on 28/07/2010 - 20:06

            @KnowingNothing: couldnt help myself… it was just so fitting given the particular situation… dont mind me, just read my username, im full of it hehe!

    Another average freebie.

    • stumo on 28/07/2010 - 20:04

      Thats a bit generous, for a $1 "freebie".

      Seriously, all they are doing is putting their mystery box crap up for sale 1 by one, instead of just shoving it all in one box for $10.

  • Zombiecraft on 28/07/2010 - 20:04

    They haven't said what happens if they don't "give away" 100 of them though before the hour is up.

    Guess we will find out in 50 minutes time.

    People really need to think about when they neg vote. The item is $1, it's an absolute bargain. You can't get one? Bad luck, it's still a bargain and there not bad for $1, you can't expect a damn Laptop for $1.
