TCC-EXPIRED-020V

Hey Ozb,

Update: comments report that the deal is still valid, but gives only a 30% that takes the price from $25 to $17.50

This is a deal posted by BlueSkyHarvest a bit under 2 years ago. I was thinking of using the TCC near my house as a place to study so I took the coupon code they gave — TCC-EXPIRED-019V — and incremented the number '19' by 1. Completely genius if I do say so myself. The old deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/205447

Copy and paste of their write-up:

Just renewed and paid $12.50 instead of $25 by using code TCC-EXPIRED-019V

"If you have a special Promotion Code, enter this here
Promotion Code: TCC-EXPIRED-019V

Half-Price Renewal accepted

Price $12.50 AUD
All payments processed in AUD
Amex & Diners Card not accepted"

Benefits of membership are listed as - "Show your VIP Club card when you place an order in-store and get:
Buy one, get one FREE (for all hot drinks) all day, everyday – see Terms and Conditions
10% off the price of all food and other drinks on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays – see Terms and Conditions
The chance to win amazing prizes every month. At the end of every month, VIP Members will automatically be put into a draw to win one of eight x $100 The Coffee Club Cash vouchers, just by visiting The Coffee Club (and swiping your card). Winners are chosen at random. Remember – you MUST swipe your card to go into the draw!
Discounts and special offers from your local store.
The VIP Club membership is only $25 a year (which you’ll quickly make back in free coffees); this includes your very own personalised membership card."

I started using this when there was the free membership promotion (also posted on Ozb) and the staff seemed happy to ring up two hot drinks on the register and bring you the second one whenever you ask for it, if you happen to be on your own. IIRC it's a franchise though and even at the same store some staff are more rude strict than others so your mileage may vary. Works with new membership, they send you a temporary card (letter?) via email immediately and a plastic card within 10 days.

It normally takes 5 uses of the card on hot drinks to pay for itself. Now the same 5 uses represents a $12.50 saving, and the 10% discount makes their food prices slightly less unreasonable (how do you deduct '10%' from 'ridiculous'?) . Not a bargain for everyone but if cafe options are limited where you are then this might be for you.

If anyone from TCC is reading this, I was just kidding about the food, if I'm studying there all day of course I'll order some. :)

Edit: I just noticed that people have been reporting on the old deal that the alternative code 'R3ACT1V8' still works, as recently as two weeks ago. Whoops! I'll let mods decide whether to delete this post. 'TCC-EXPIRED-019V' code wasn't working and I guess I got carried away thinking I found a new code. :'( Has always been a good deal though.

    Promo code R3ACT1V8($17.50)
    Promo code TCC-EXPIRED-020V ($12.50)

    Obviously I used the code OP posted

      Oh! I didn't realise R3ACTIV8 was less of a discount. Technically the old deal never got marked as 'expired' so I was worried this deal was going to meet with a lot of 'yeah we know's but I'm glad it didn't. Thanks for telling me!

      I really can't agree with you more, and I could go into detail about that but I'd be afraid of upsetting the cook. Let's just say that my nearby TCC is a nicely furnished place, opens late, convenient spot, and I get a table with a powerpoint. They have a lot of draws but food ain't one.

    • secondstory on 27/04/2017 - 17:35

      I think it's hit or miss per store.

      I find the stores in the CBD areas are absolutely awful (the kind of awful where you decide wasting the food is better than forcing it down.. but still force it down) but I find I've consistently had some really good meals at other TCCs - enough that I pay their relatively premium prices more often than I should be able to afford.

      I find their coffee almost anywhere is juuust under so-so, I'm not super fussy about coffee but I find the only times I get a coffee that isn't really bland and almost warm milk, is when it's burnt. That or I'm just unlucky with the staff on at the time.

    Why would you want to be a "member"? This so called "club" is just all about overpriced food and below average coffee. It's no surprise that most of their budget goes on TV advertisements on the Today Show etc to lure the suckers in.

      Why not? Just because you don't enjoy what they have to offer, or you've had a bad experience at one of their stores, is no reason to discourage others from joining.

        That's actually how society in general works.

          I have no problem with people sharing their experiences, as I expect and encourage other OzB members to be open-minded and read my personal opinion/experience, but to negatively vote against a deal and question why others would want to be a part of said deal, is just not necessary and in no way adds a positive contribution.

      Yeah, it's mainstream culture bullshit, it's weird how people try to make out that there's something in vogue or special about a cafe. It would be generous to call it average but it stays open late and that's something even trendy cafes don't do. It's purely about utility and convenience without being pretentious so it is weird how they try to dress it up. But hey, think of it like half-price coffees for a year but only after you get 3 6 stamps on your coffee card.

  • sevendollarsfifty on 26/04/2017 - 08:23

      • Krizy on 26/04/2017 - 16:09

        It should say that the discount has been applied. Maybe your net connection, or maybe someone at TCC put the brakes on the deal? Definitely don't confirm it unless it shows a discount.

      Maybe so, but I used it with a new account and it worked. I had a card around 3 or 4 years ago but it's long gone. The new account is with the same name and AFAIK there aren't any benefits to renewing an expired card vs re-registering unless so if you have a long expired card you could make a new account.

  • Buyers Remorse on 26/04/2017 - 09:57

      Hey, I'm writing this from the TCC and when I asked to have the two drinks at different times the lady serving me just said 'that's what people normally do'. That's at Kogarah so again, mileage may vary, but you can use it to get a tea before or after your coffee or just two teas. :)

    I love a cuppa out with friends and Coffee Club is a nice place to visit with them. I am not a fanatic about my coffee - though, if it is real bad I do notice and Coffee club is not even close to real bad.

    • Krizy on 04/05/2017 - 22:13

      You could probably just write down the membership number on a piece of paper and use that. They need to enter it into the POS computer before they can give you a discount. If they ask questions tell them your card is in the mail and show them your email.
