      ditto 6th, I can see the $5 off plus voucher in my account though, no $50 yet.

      Joined last Friday, got my gc on Saturday.

  • Scootex on 11/11/2019 - 10:36

    I signed up on the 6th and called today about my Gift Card and was told that i didn't click through the link to get the offer when i signed up. Therefore i won't be getting the Gift Card.

    Refund not an option.

    Got rorted by eBay.

    • jackwilk on 11/11/2019 - 10:39

      Yeah, I just had a chat to support, apparently it takes up to 5 working days to receive it.

      • Scootex on 11/11/2019 - 10:44

        I'm not liking my chances. Told that because i didn't click through the banner, i won't be eligible.

        Hope you get yours.

      Don't give up that easily Scootex. They would have been fully aware that they'd catch a few who didn't read the T&Cs but I expect they'll be reasonable if you ring them again. Tell them you saw the banner advertising a $50 GC for signing up but didn't look at the details. Ask to speak to a supervisor if you don't get satisfaction. People have received refunds when they accidentally forgot to enter codes and paid full price. Some customer assistants have no common sense, some don't have the authority to make decisions and provide refunds etc. GL

      • Scootex on 11/11/2019 - 14:37

        Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a go… Although i kinda cancelled my plus in anger after i got off the phone. But still have subscription until next year…

        I'll give them a call again tomorrow.. I'll update here.

    Signed up yesterday, received the gift card today. Cheers Chibot!

    When does the monthly $5 vouchers show up?

    • SeeTheLight on 12/11/2019 - 13:21

      I'm in the same boat, received the $50 gift card, but no sign of the first $5 one for this month. Got on ebay chat, completely useless, for the first 3/4 of the chat they denied that it was part of the offer, then I sent screenshot, and then they said there's no T&C for that offer yet, I pasted the T&C link into the chat, then they said they had to talk to marketing and would get back to me in 24-48 hours. How hard is this?

      Also discovered that the $5/mth can't be used on a Coles order. Now wondering what to buy, that was going to be an easy $50 a month. Anyway didn't matter because Coles ebay only for metro areas. Argh.

    Saw the banner on my ebay account, (had used ebay plus trial few months ago). Paid thru paypal and got the gift card message after payment

  • mrshorty on 13/11/2019 - 10:45

    got the gift card too

    But noticed I got hit with a intl transaction fee for the $48.99 ebay charged me for this!

  • edrift on 14/11/2019 - 18:49

    It's been 5 business days since signing up on the 6th. Still no gift card in sight.

    I got the email in the happy Tuesday deals email sent on the 5th.

    • dojomojo on 15/11/2019 - 06:39

      Signed up on the 6th via app banner and still no gift card. Been on the chat with ebay who said to keep waiting it should come through soon. Terrible from ebay, will wait a couple more days then put in a dispute.

    • Marmaduke on 15/11/2019 - 07:27

      Same boat here, signed up on 6th and no message or anything. Going to complain today but I expect to be told to keep waiting

    • Gnilgorf on 15/11/2019 - 09:29

      Aye. Going to reply here since my original comment is buried somewhere in the middle.

      Been attempting to get in touch with ebay support multiple times since the 6th (my sign up date).

      1st person - Wait 5 business days
      2nd person - Wait until CoB today as today is the 5th day
      3rd person - Allegedly they have been swamped with subcriptions via the banner and they are still processing them all…wait until end of week…

      zzz

      • dojomojo on 15/11/2019 - 12:37

        Weird that some people who signed up after the 6th received their gift card on the next day.

      • puffinfresh on 15/11/2019 - 13:05

        I signed up Wednesday 6th via a banner after getting a push notification. I didn't receive an email, and have had Plus before from the same deal last year. I contacted them via online chat yesterday. I was asked what the sign up button said ("Take up offer" or "Start free trial" - as if I remember). I wasn't told to "keep waiting", but instead that they will "make a report". There was no indication of how long said report will take to be actioned.

  • kronicmacstigator on 16/11/2019 - 11:56

    Was about to buy a kg or two of coffee… clicked…

    Paid my money, waiting for the card then will spend it on the coffee which is now free postage. Essentially making ebayplus free for me. Will be ordering more coffee saving $8 postage per order so a win for me.

  • Purley23 on 16/11/2019 - 12:33

    What's the expiry date on the free gift card? Does it last a while?

    Contacted eBay again and they told me to wait another 24hrs after already asking me to wait 5 days then 24 hours.
    Told them it wasn't good enough and asked them to issue the gift card. They said they would, but alas they did not.

    Very poor service for a paid subscription

  • edrift on 17/11/2019 - 09:44
    +1

    still no gift card. Contacted them again today and again they're asking me to wait and telling me that they've escalated to the marketing team.

    Has anyone actually managed to get the gift card after waiting the 5 business days?

    the customer support were only able to offer an ebay voucher, but those things expire soon and are one time use only and you cant use them with ebay discount codes.

            @King Steuart: The $50 gift card? Should be 3 years.

            • King Steuart on 19/11/2019 - 12:50

              @bamzero: Whoops that was the $5 eBay plus
              voucher I combined with the $50. Yes, the $50 is 3 years.

              • bamzero on 19/11/2019 - 12:54

                @King Steuart: Ah, yep you get a new one of those each month. The $5 code can only be used on Plus items though as I discovered after being short of $50 spend, took some time to find junk that might be useful then realised couldn't even use it.

                • King Steuart on 19/11/2019 - 13:00
                  +1

                  @bamzero: Luckily I had a plus item in my cart I had been waiting to buy, and it was actually reduced too so I guess I got it for $27ish when I originally added it to my cart for $38! 😁

                  • bamzero on 19/11/2019 - 13:21
                    +1

                    @King Steuart: So your comment got me to test, the $5 applies to any Plus items in cart providing total is over $50, but not all items have to be Plus.

                    Also works like a gift card not discount code as I tested with a Plus item less than $5 so it discounted by that amount and left the remaining value for later use.

                    Pity I didn't realise before, thought needed $50+ of Plus. Good to know for next time I guess.

                    • King Steuart on 19/11/2019 - 13:27

                      @bamzero: Lucky me I guess, as the other 2 items to bring it up to $50 weren't plus. One was even international from UK!

      I signed up yesterday after confirming with chat that the deal was still valid (as long as advertised on eBay.com.au or until 23 November). I received an email from them and got the gift card this morning.

  • dojomojo on 19/11/2019 - 15:50

    Latest response from eBay support, very fast with set response - they must be getting a lot of these queries, Looks like the wait continues:

    I can see here that you wanted to have an update with the $50 gift card that you get once you've sign up directly to an annual eBay Plus membership.

    About the availability, supposedly you will be able receive the $50 gift card last week on the 13th but apparently our gift card team is having a technical issue for the past few days since they receive a huge load of issuance.

    Don't worry, checking here you are already on the list for the gift card issuance but as of the moment, we don't receive any update yet from our gift card team but rest assured that they are currently working/processing your gift card and you'll receive it soon. Thank you for being part of the eBay Plus, Broden.

    • puffinfresh on 19/11/2019 - 16:35

      My second contact:
      Them:
      I have checked on your account and I can confirm that you are eligible for the offer. I understand that you should have already received it since it has been few days ago already when you signed up. However, this may be an error from our end where there are delays in having the gift cards delivered. For this, will it be fine to give it a little more time? Rest assured, it will then be sent to you since your account is eligible. And we do apologise for the delays, puffinfresh.

      Me:
      How much more time? It's already been 9 business days. The quoted time was 5 days. And does this more time involve you actually asking someone to process it? Or are you just hoping it will sort itself out with no action on your part?

      Them:
      Yes, I totally understand that. I have already gathered your details here and will make sure that you get it soon. I'll personally follow this up with our Marketing Promotions.

      Me:
      Thank you. I hope to see it by the end of the week.

      • edrift on 19/11/2019 - 16:58

        It's been 13 days for me now. I have contacted them and 5 times now and they said they'd issue me a $10 voucher for having to wait so long.
        Alas, that $10 voucher also never arrived.

        I have all the chat history saved in emails in case they decide to renege on the deal.

      • Gnilgorf on 19/11/2019 - 20:01

        I see…

        Well cheers gents for following up. Guess someone on their end is getting grilled over the error…

        Guess i'll wait til end of week before attempting another call.

      • puffinfresh on 24/11/2019 - 15:32
        +2

        Still nothing, so I called and complained that I wanted to buy something today. They offered a $50 voucher in place of the gift card. I said it was my understanding that vouchers and gift cards are different, and that a voucher won't allow me to also use other discount codes. She asked what code I wanted to use, and what item I wanted to buy, and added the additional value onto the voucher. She issued a $110 voucher. The item I wanted was out of stock when I went to buy it, so I just bought $110 worth of eBay gift cards with the voucher, and now I'm $60 ahead.

        • edrift on 24/11/2019 - 15:48

          Good win.

          What was the logic for issuing a $110 voucher? No discount code would be that big

          • puffinfresh on 24/11/2019 - 16:36
            +1

            @edrift: $50 from the original gift card plus $60 that I would have saved buying the $549 item using the PAPP100 code.

            In hindsight, I might have been able to get a higher amount if I claimed I was going to buy a PITCH20 item over $300.

        • Gnilgorf on 26/11/2019 - 15:03

          Oh wow… nice 0.o

          I got to get around to calling them again actually. Too bad I just bought something yesterday too…what else is on my list…

          • edrift on 26/11/2019 - 19:43

            @Gnilgorf: You can use the pitch20 discount code to get a bigger voucher issued

            • Gnilgorf on 27/11/2019 - 14:45

              @edrift: Well…Got in touch with them twice today.

              First contact was rubbish… Said the same, i'll escalate and follow up etc etc.

              Second contact did mention it would be resolved end of week, but also followed up with the $50 voucher, but would not vary from that at all. Even after talking about the codes / vouchers, including the fact that the PITCH20 voucher ends soon. And that if I didn't get the card by the end of week I would lose out on the discounts…

              It goes on…

    I had called Ebay Plus support and they said the Gift Card/Voucher was sent to "My Ebay - Messages" (log into Ebay then check your messages) in your account.

    I never received a personalised email from eBay advising me of the Gift Card was ready and according to the date it took them +1 day from sign up to process it.

    • edrift on 20/11/2019 - 13:12

      And was it actually there?

      I checked my messages and there is no gift card

      • xecutor on 20/11/2019 - 16:42

        I signed up on the 11th Nov, quite early on when this promotion was running and it was only today (20/11) I called eBay support to ask when was I getting the voucher. After the explained to me how I was going to receive it they confirmed that the message was sitting in my account (Messages) and the date they originally sent the message was dated the 12th Nov.

        It should look something like this -

        From Subject
        eBay Don't Forget: Your $50 Digital Gift Card is here 😍 🎁

        If you haven't yet received it, ring them directly on 1800 322 928 they should be able to escalate and give you more info.
        In some cases as others have pointed out it took them 5+ days for them to get it.

    Finally got my gift card today, signed up on the 6th Nov. eBay so slack.

  • TrafalgarSean on 30/11/2019 - 23:01

    So random question for anyone who is using this promotion, I didn't check my eBay messages for a while and found this promotion. I clicked the link, and it all seems to still work (clicks through, says about getting 5% off coles, etc).
    Strangely though, a while ago I had a different promotion as well and I am wondering if I will stack.

    After I click "take up offer" for this promotion for the $50 eBay voucher, the next page says "To join eBay Plus, you need to provide a payment method. eBay Plus normally costs AU $49.00 per year, but by joining now, you'll pay just AU $39.00 for your first year. Your membership will be automatically renewed each year, unless you've cancelled it."

    So will I pay the $39 and get no voucher, has anyone else experienced this?

  • code695 on 10/12/2019 - 19:34

    Is this deal still valid?
    Strangely enough, I'm still seeing it on my eBay Plus page but I don't want to deal with customer service if it doesn't go through.

  • Jason88 on 13/12/2019 - 16:19

  • Jason88 on 19/12/2019 - 09:37

    I clicked on the link in my inbox to sign up for this offer, on 1 Dec, and I also received a notification saying that I would get my $50 code.

    But it never came.

    This is ebay's response:

    Hi Jason,

    This is a follow up email about the call we had earlier. I would like you to know that I've already received a reply from our gift card team and was advised that the $50 sign up promo was offered from 6-Nov up until 23-Nov. Thus when we joined last 1-Dec, the promo has already expired. I do apologise for that.

    Should you wish to keep your membership, your benefits include free shipping & returns on eBay Plus items, premium customer service, exclusive discounts, earn double flybuys point, and free delivery from Coles supermarket on orders over $49.

    Should you wish to cancel it instead and get a refund, we'll respect your decision. Please let us know so we can process it from our end.

    Thanks for being part of eBay.
