Is it possible to buy $300 of caltex vouchers via cashrewards and get the google home mini offer from woolworths and the 5% off from cash rewards? Is that possible? Can someone give me the approx steps? I have signed up to cash rewards. Seems like an awesome deal as it's money I would spend on fuel anyway.
no
no
no
And that's 5th NO
Thread Closed.!!!
Can anyone elaborate? Can I do 1 and not the other?
You should rephrase the question. Is it possible to buy 300 worth of groceries and return it in store and get the google mini?
Thanks all for the feedback. Is the issue that gift cards are excluded from the $300 spend ?
OK, found it, damn. Not sure I want to buy $300 worth of groceries, just buy the stuff at ALDI and save more money.
"Qualifying amount excludes delivery charges, internet cafes, purchases of smoking/tobacco products and accessories, Gift Cards (including iTunes), mobile recharge, Woolworths Mobile, travel cards and tickets, woolworthsflowers.com.au, and Carpet Care and lottery products"
The issue was the Caltex gift cards from CR has nothing to do with spending over $300 on Woolworths Online?
Issue is gift cards are explicitly excluded from the home mini deal.
Why the neg votes???? Oz bargain these days makes me shake my head sometimes.
To be fair, many people would be shaking their head at the original question.
You could buy $300 of Woolworths gift cards for 5% off but how would you spend them at Woolworths online to get the free Google Home Mini but retain the money to spend it on fuel?
@durd0008: You misunderstood. The offer is if you buy $300 worth of stuff online you get a google home mini. You can buy $300 of gift cards online and my question was will that qualify you for a home mini. It is a perfectly reasonable question which the OB community appears to have taken offense to. There is no reason people should be offended but it's not uncommon here unfortunately.
Why do you care so much about neg votes?
@John Kimble: I find the overall responses to this thread rude. If you ask someone a question and they simply reply no, that is simply rude. I accepted that and even upvoted the rude replies just to be polite. I then asked for further details, politely, and didn't get any response. Then someone asked a question which I politely answered and got a bunch of down votes. I've asked why and no one has any balls to tell me why. I'm more curious than anything. Some people have deleted their down votes so I guess that is something.
Seriously, why the neg votes people? Savas asked a question, I took the time to answer it.
i haven't down voted but understand why some people have.
It's a basic read the ts & cs before asking a question.
No, people have another pettier reason. It was a reasonable question. They have only down voted when I gave the answer. Completely pathetic although not unusual for OB.
Savas even asked if that was the case. When I answered the downvotes started. He asked the question people. I can see not one down voter has the guts to explain themselves.
Interesting thing is the same people up voted durd0008s completely incorrect comment.
@MikeKulls: You said you would buy the vouchers/gift cards via Cash Rewards, not Woolworths Online. That's why people are confused.
@westical: my understanding is cash rewards just takes you to the Woolworths website to make the purchase. You are spending money direct with Woolworths.
Either way, that's not the issue. The issue is people keep down voting but aren't man enough to identify themselves and explain why. Five people came in within the first few minutes with a simple unhelpful no. When asked to elaborate not one person did. when I found the correct answer I got downvoted. You've got to see how that makes pretty much zero sense.
Cash Rewards take you to the Everyday Gift Cards website which is not what Woolworths considers Woolworths Online.
@durd0008: fair enough, thanks for the info. That is seriously the first useful thing anyone has said in this thread. The thing is even if my question is completely stupid it would have made sense for someone to reply and explain why instead of 5 people replying simply no, which is pretty rude.
@MikeKulls:
here's a neg for not listening to reason.
i personally don't think it was a reasonable question, it was a question you could have answered your self if you read the t & cs.
@dasher86: T&C are usually difficult to find and digest and answer in lawyer speak. It was a reasonable question that didn't deserve the rude responses it got. I pity you that you think that is ok.
@MikeKulls:
Thank you again for the compliments.
I will not try talk explain other people's reasoning to you, again.
Clearly you cannot understand that people have a different point of view to you. Despite the lawyer speak you were still able to work it out given time.
btw I was probably using Ozb longer than you have, and because people like you threads like this gets the same responses as you did.
I didn't neg you at the start. but i've 'manned' up and negged you later. this only seem to irate you more. so be it.
have a good day sir.
@dasher86: you gave me a laugh when you thought negging me was manly in some way. That truly is funny. You say I fail to understand, I do understand what you are saying. I could have looked the details up myself and people feel that is an excuse to be rude. At the time I thought that would be harder than it was. The thing you really fail to understand is that no matter how dumb the question is that is never an excuse to be rude. As I said, I pity you if you think otherwise.
@MikeKulls:
I never said negging you was 'manly' i was using the context that you created.
Your reaction to this shows that you do not understand the social interactions on Ozbargain.
I did not see the answers to your question as a direct 'no' as rude - if anything it got to be humorous towards the end.
If you ask a question people do not need to elaborate everything for you.
Your reactions to being negged made you get negged more.
In terms of being rude, you're the one that was rude to me after i tried to explain something to you.
have a good day, again.
@dasher86: so …. You ask a colleague at work, hey can you do something for me. They answer simply no. You ask someone else and they simply say no. You really think that is not rude? A guy at my work missed a promotion because he would answer emails with a one word no. People would avoid interacting with him. If you think that was not rude you are a little short of a six pack mate. If you think that being rude because the question was stupid is ok then you are also a bit slow.
@MikeKulls: I can't believe I just had to spend 2 minutes typing on my phone why answering just no is rude. Try it when people ask you some questions and see how it feels. Hey want to catch up for the weekend? Nope. yeah not rude at all. I asked a question that I could have worked out, the responses where uncalled for. That is fact. You strike me as the sort of person who will say anything to win an argument. How did I get dragged into this argument? I just asked why people negged me when I answered someone's question in a perfectly reasonable way and now I'm arguing with you.
@MikeKulls: btw in reply to your boast about using ozbargain longer than me, not sure why that matters but it is false. You can click someone's name to see when they joined.
no
