They have 11 locations in NSW, VIC and QLD.

NSW link http://www.jumponit.com/Sydney/Strike-Bowling-Bar-/ten-pin-b…
VIC link http://www.jumponit.com/Melbourne/Strike-Bowling-Bar-/ten-pi…
QLD link http://www.jumponit.com/Brisbane/Strike-Bowling-Bar/ten-pin-…

This deal is through jumponit (a group buy site) and when I checked at 9.15, 432 people had already registered in Sydney, so the deal is on.

I managed to open the website before, but it's currently down for maintenance (I guess they had a large influx of people coming at once and weren't prepared) so hopefully it's back up soon.

EDIT: 10.30am: website is back up

    rofl..

    Due to overwhelming popularity of the $1 Strike Bowling Deal our servers have requested a coffee break… we will be back ASAP

    If they sell too many coupons, Strike will not be able to cope with all the traffic. So I hope jumponit don't get too gung ho and sell too many coupons. I did some quck back of the envelope calculations:
    The deal is valid for 36 days. Take out Fridays & Saturdays, and you have about 25 days. Assuming, they have 6 hours a day (4pm to late) and 11 locations, and an average of 20 lanes per facility available, at an an average of 30 minutes per game, you are looking at 66,000 games possible.

    Remembering that this is school holiday time, they will already be booked to 50-80% capacity most evenings. I've been there a few times during school holidays and have had to wait about an hour to get a lane.

    So, the maximum number of coupons to sell is about 10-15,000. Sell any more and they will be pushing themselves to full capacity. Let's see how many they end up selling!

    • jlien on 16/12/2010 - 11:55

      the strike bowling bar's i know of in vic have like 8 lanes tops, it's not quite AMF.

    • flyt on 16/12/2010 - 17:18

      Strike sent me an email about this.. They mentioned they will have 50,000 coupons on offer

    • stralya on 17/12/2010 - 08:07

      They've sold 18,000 in NSW so far. There are 42 lanes in all, incl Tamworth & Newcastle. That means 3 games per lane per hour every single day have already been sold to Jumponit users. A lot of people are going to be disappointed if they don't book early enough!

  • interiordesigns on 16/12/2010 - 10:12

    cant even get on the server

  • Domingo on 16/12/2010 - 10:36

    Does this actually count for Vic? It's a Sydney based deal and only lists the Sydney locations on the page.

    • ryang on 16/12/2010 - 10:42

      Heard an ad on the radio in VIC today…

      Have added in the links for VIC and QLD as well, you can navigate to them from the regional homepage i.e. jumponit.com/melbourne and jumponit.com/brisbane

  • furythree on 16/12/2010 - 10:47

    goddamn keeps saying
    busy try again
    well stuff that then cbb

  • cyncynangel on 16/12/2010 - 11:11

    managed to buy 10 vouchers finally…

  • daydream on 16/12/2010 - 11:22

    When trying to buy "This offer is limited to 1 per person. The extra x vouchers must be gifts in different names."
    Your vouchers need to be in the name of the person who will use it

    • datty on 16/12/2010 - 11:48

      I got through and purchased 10 vouchers. Just had a look at the voucher sent to me and the conditions are:

      Conditions
      • Limit 10 vouchers per person
      • Valid 26 December 2010 - 31 January 2011
      • Valid Sunday - Thursday, 4pm - close
      • Not redeemable for cash
      • Can't be used with other offers
      • Can't be used with function bookings
      • Bookings essential - Online bookings only

      Where did you see it said limit 1 per person?

      • daydream on 16/12/2010 - 11:52

        In (still) trying to make the transaction (on credit card page) - They don't state it on the T&C page ;-) You have to enter names/emails on the transaction page for it to (try and) proceed and then you have to re-enter the names everytime the transaction times out :-(

        It's possible they put in that limit afterwards… basically an easy way to build their e-mailing list.

        • datty on 16/12/2010 - 12:08

          They had the 10 names and email addresses of the people the voucher was for.
          So I just split it between me and my girlfriend and had all the vouchers sent to my email :)
          See if that works, otherwise Strike probably realised they were going to sell too many vouchers and decided to cap it to 1 and I was just lucky lol.

          It took me forever to complete the transaction, but once I got to the checkout it was relatively quick.
          Good luck!

        • dorothi_toto on 16/12/2010 - 16:01

          i really don't know what you're on about. It says limit 10 vouchers per person. On the page that you're talking about where you have to enter the 10 names and email addresses, i just entered my own x10 and it transacted fine. After all it does say in T&C's limit 10 vouchers per person. It wouldn't make sense to say that and then expect a person to submit 10 different names. Doesn't say anywhere that it has to be for 10 different people. I've also already made my reservation on Strike and it went through fine.

        • daydream on 16/12/2010 - 17:01

          You are right, it does say "10 vouchers per person" in the T&C.
          During the transaction it also says "“This offer is limited to 1 per person. The extra x vouchers must be gifts in different names.” and "Your vouchers need to be in the name of the person who will use it".

          That's what we are on about - the seemingly contradictory wording that appears. It also doesn't make sense to have to gift the vouchers to yourself and have to enter your name/email address for each one does it? If based on your wording, you are in the type to want to get stuck into someone, do it to the people that set it up/poorly worded it not us for stating factually what is on the webpage.

        • dorothi_toto on 16/12/2010 - 19:24

          I did not know what you were referring to because that message has not/currently does not appear for me - “This offer is limited to 1 per person. The extra x vouchers must be gifts in different names.” Hence, i was wanting to stop the misinformation and confusion getting spread. That is all.

  • Raz84 on 16/12/2010 - 11:22

    When you go to buy this, it does mention that its 1 per person. When I put 10 in, it says that you need to gift the other 9 (as they need to be in other names).

    edit sorry, already mentioned

    • daydream on 16/12/2010 - 11:25

      Beat ya ;-)

      On retrying transaction (and having to re-enter details): "-BUSY TRY AGAIN (AP)-" :-(

      • cyncynangel on 16/12/2010 - 12:15

        try a few more times
        I got myself 30 vouchers

        • daydream on 16/12/2010 - 12:20

          Under different accounts I take it. I'm just getting a blank screen on refreshes now :-(

    • dorothi_toto on 16/12/2010 - 16:04

      nope i never got that message, it worked fine for me to put my name in 10 times. There was nothing to block me from doing it. Also if you look on the right hand side it says "Same name on vouchers" or "Send as gift". There's nothing to say you HAVE to gift the other 9!!

  • compingqueen on 16/12/2010 - 13:36

    As already stated, the deal is valid in NSW, VIC & QLD but I reckon it's probably best to use the links for your own capital city as it is a bonus deal for all the cities. I don't know if it makes a difference thought.
    On the Brisbane link ( http://www.jumponit.com/Brisbane/Strike-Bowling-Bar/ten-pin-… )the deal expires in 10.5 hrs and only 388 have been sold.
    On the Melbourne link ( http://www.jumponit.com/Melbourne/Strike-Bowling-Bar-/ten-pi… )only 2000 have been sold.
    And in Sydney there are 58hrs remaining but 5500 have sold.

  • Trance N Dance on 17/12/2010 - 00:21

    The one for Sydney is now unavailable I wonder if you can buy the one from Brisbane or Melbourne and use it in Sydney?

  • turbice on 17/12/2010 - 07:06

    Is it true the vouchers you do not use will be refunded back into your credit card?

    • stralya on 17/12/2010 - 08:03

      FAQs says No, but on the home page there is a "30 day money back guarantee". So, I'm confused.

  • PleasureMe on 17/12/2010 - 10:17
