    Tell them to get that out of the terms then "not applicable with further discounts" .

    I would been all over them if not for that .

      Same, especially if they're single use only.

    • saitken on 08/12/2019 - 17:14

      Totally agreed. This came in an email with an exclusive offer for 15% off everything (no asterisk)

      So I complained about that and they used the “not applicable with further discounts"

      I explained that the term reads to me as if you can’t stack offers AFTER you buy the voucher. They explained this not to be the case.

      In fact:

      (05:36:22 AM) Agent: So say you wanted to use the $100 gift card youve bought and then a code such as YF-BLACKFRIDAY which is a recent one we have had, you would be able to do so

        Not to be a party pooper but I got a less than confident response from the agent I just spoke to. “ I am just awaiting confirmation from our Marketing Team in regards to the other promo codes, and unfortunately they are not in today! Would I be able to send you an email once I have some more info tomorrow”. I’ll update once I hear back tomorrow. Otherwise it’s a great deal and does stack with YF-GOLDMEMBER.

        • saitken on 08/12/2019 - 17:52

          Yeah I’ve escalated it with them cause it seems like they are trying to use the one term "not applicable with further discounts" twice in my case… both before before and potentially after you buy it

          If that was the case it wouldn't stack with the gold code mentioned below

    Reeks of liquidity issues with Youfoodz

    3 weeks before a gift card can be redeemed… hmm

    • saitken on 08/12/2019 - 17:36

      Jeez sounds scary

      Surely you could charge back on your credit card if this was the case?

      I used afterpay so hopefully that provides some level of protection as well?

      • cwongtech on 08/12/2019 - 17:53
        +7

        Surely you could charge back on your credit card if this was the case?

        Nope, they have fulfilled their obligations as far as delivering a gift card.
        Gift cards will be non-redeemable if a company goes bust.

        See what happened when Dick Smith went into administration

        Under Australian law, gift card holders are classed as unsecured creditors and are further down the list of priorities when it comes to settling debts. The secured creditors – including the banks that provided Dick Smith Group with the debt that got it into strife in the first place – are likely to come out behind too, although they will at least receive something.

        The Issues Paper noted that if a gift card issuer enters insolvency, gift card holders will ordinarily be classified as unsecured creditors. The claims of gift card holders will then rank alongside all other unsecured creditors of the company. Sections 555 — 563AAA of the Corporations Act provide for the priorities of creditors' claims in the winding up of corporations.83 In a winding up, the interests of unsecured creditors (including gift card holders) are subordinate to a number of other interests, including claims by secured creditors, the costs associated with the liquidation and wages owed to former employees.84 As a result of this low ranking, gift card holders will often receive only a fraction, if any, of the total value of their claim. - Treasury.gov.au

        No one does anything for free.

        If the gift cards were redeemable now, I would not have pointed this out, but 40% off AND usable after 3 weeks!?
        Smells like Youfoodz have some debt to be paid now that they can't draw up the cash for.

        • saitken on 08/12/2019 - 17:55

          Fair enough but I’d expect afterpay to have a different policy?

            @saitken:

            Fair enough but I’d expect afterpay to have a different policy?

            I wouldn't know, as far as Afterpay is concerned, as long as the product has been delivered (YF gift card), then it's not their problem.
            For your sake, I hope YFs doesn't go under and you get to enjoy 40% off their food :)

            Surely they wouldn’t have me paying instalments in Jan for a useless product

            Hopefully not. P.s. I consider Afterpay/Zippay equivalents to entry level credit cards with credit limits of $1000 and below, unless they have some promotion going on, you might as well just sign up to a no-fee annual credit card like Amex Essentials :)

          • INFIDEL on 08/12/2019 - 18:08

            @saitken: Surely they wouldn’t have me paying instalments in Jan for a useless product

            Oh yes they would.
            If CC won't cover you when a business fails (they provide a time payment plan too, with interest), I would have less faith in AfterPay etc as it is untested.

            Gift Card purchases put you at the end of the line of unsecured creditors. Credit providers aren't likely to get money back from a failed business - so you may have to pay for a useless Gift Card.

            • saitken on 08/12/2019 - 18:15

              @INFIDEL: Idk I tend to spend $500 a month on afterpay and have done since 2016

              I like to think they’d come to the party but you are right this is untested/unproven

              All of this is speculation Including youfoodz going under

                +1

                @saitken: Check with your credit provider regarding charge back etc when a merchant fails, preferably before purchase!

                Credit providers / banks do whatever they like - according to the Royal Commission.

                Yes, pure speculation on any problems with this business! But others in this field have failed.

                Best to remember buying a gift card is providing the business with capital to spend as they want, with no security for you to claim anything back if they fail.

                40% discount is quite high, possibly reflecting the higher risk??

        • Japius on 08/12/2019 - 18:05

          Most banks policies allow chargebacks for gift card purchases if the retailer goes bust, some smaller banks charge a chargeback fee, but CBA for example didn’t charge a fee for a chargeback when dick smith went bust.

        • ash2000 on 08/12/2019 - 19:24

          Indeed….. I can't think of an instance where a business heavily discounting gift cards isn't an ominous sign.

          It's usuly always done to "buy time".

          Caveat emptor.

            @ash2000: They’ve had basically the same offer every December, last year instead of 40% off you got bonus gift cards that amounted to 40% discount. This time they’re using physical cards instead of the electronic ones like last year.

        • INFIDEL on 13/12/2019 - 17:27

          Just lost my $25 gift card with the collapse of Harris Scarfe.
          Very unlikely will get anything.
          But never saw anything I wanted to buy from HS.
          Lucky it was a free gift card.

      • Japius on 08/12/2019 - 18:11

        Check with your bank, mine allows chargebacks for gift cards that were purchased and the retailer goes bust, my previous bank, CBA, did as well (chargeback for some dick smith cards myself with them).

        • INFIDEL on 08/12/2019 - 18:13

          Yes ComBank covered losses in DS failure, but that seemed more as a gesture of goodwill.

          The trouble is proving how much of your purchase hasn't been recouped at time business fails.

          A $100 gift card isn't worth $100 when bought for $60, & worth less after a $50 meals purchase…

          I spent all my discount DS gift cards at sales before it went under. Bought anything I could resell ($500+ DVD Recorders sold for $80). It was easy with physical stock, much harder with prepared meals.

            @INFIDEL: Maybe, I also had it covered years ago by Westpac, never had it declined but it doesn’t happen a lot. Regardless of the perpetually outraged cancel culture online rhetoric over one guy and his girlfriend being typical Aussie bogans, YF seems to be a solid enough business looking at sales for the last few years I’d be very surprised if they were anywhere near insolvency or that they wouldn’t find a buyer if need be. In any event my exposure is $114…..im not overly concerned

              It's always good to be reminded of the possible risk of gift cards if a business fails.

    The checkout page let’s you put in a gift card or promo code, I don’t expect to be able to use the cards with a discount code as it’s never let two codes apply at the same time before and it probably treats the cards the same as codes. But still 40% off a value pack or already discounted menu item is still good value

  • toobzy on 08/12/2019 - 18:27

    Used to be good but taste and quality has gone downhill recently. Plus you can normally get more than 40% off with promo codes. No deal for me.

  • Diji1 on 08/12/2019 - 18:39

    they are adamant that you can stack the cards with 2020 promotions

    Good luck with that. They won't stack.

    This smacks of a desperate business.

    • Japius on 08/12/2019 - 23:17

      More just unimaginative business since it’s basically the same deal they do every December. Last year instead of a discount you got bonus gift cards but same value proposition 40% off. Only difference to last year is they now have physical gift cards. I don’t remember what the outcome was last year re: discount codes but I know the same terms were there and the same questions were asked….I still doubt you can use gift cards as payment and apply a discount code because of how their checkout is setup

      • Fever4shakin on 09/12/2019 - 09:30
        +1

        My recollection of last years was that they don't stack. Just like any 'voucher' you receive from customer service for whatever mishap is unable to be stacked with promo codes. In my experience actual gift cards purchased through prezzee or what not will stack fine but none of their promotional stuff.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/12/2019 - 00:05

          They definitely stacked last year, I bought about $400 worth and used them for months when other promotions came up to stack them with. Their checkout allowed a gift card + other promotional code, but not two promotional codes. They also last year let you draw down the balance over multiple transactions.

          I didn't buy any this year due to their other issues, no idea if that's changed. My general assumption is that it probably hasn't but who knows.

      • space cadet on 09/12/2019 - 14:50

        Did they have the same stipulation last year around not being able to actually use the voucher until the new year? As otherwise @cwongtech's previous statement around potential liquidity issues could be true.

        Edit: I found the Ozbargain post for the deal from last year. This year's is actually way more generous, as it's basically "Pay $60 get a bonus 67% [$40] gift card". Also, it doesn't appear that there was a wait to use last year's deal - however last year the bonus gift card had to be used by end of January (the main gift card was good for 3 years).

        All-in-all I'm still a little suspicious of this deal — if you really can also stack discount codes when you use the cards, this deal really feels like it's in the "too good to be true" basket. It's also still weird to me that they don't allow you to actually use the gift cards until the new year - I honestly can't think of any good reason for them to do that unless they are having cashflow issues.

        • saitken on 09/12/2019 - 15:35

          See my edit in the OP

          Seems too good to be true so liquidity issues?

            @saitken:

            Seems too good to be true so liquidity issues?

            Just suspicious that's all, especially the usable in three weeks/"Valid from 1st January 2020." clause.
            I wouldn't go as far as neg'ing the deal (thanks for posting a deal up by the way! Don't be discouraged!)

            If YouFoodz's financial year ends on December, then this could be a way to boost their cash balance up (financial years do NOT always end in July, that's only for our income tax financial year, otherwise you'd only see companies starting up in July).
            If YF's creditors have clauses that prevent Youfoodz from obtaining further debt, then gift cards as unsecured debt would work in YF's advantage. Loan shark rates are at 20% p.a. cash rate, but in using gift cards to raise working capital would also guarantee future revenue in the start of 2020..

            At this stage, it's just pure speculation, just the Valid from 1st January 2020 clause is a little bit of a concern.

            For yours and Youfoodz's customers' sake, I hope all works out!

              @cwongtech: Yes I hope that @satiken you don't take my neg to be personal; @cwongtech is correct that the community is thankful for people like yourself who take the time to post the deals! My neg is purely to do with the retailer in this instance; to each their own but my view is that the combination of not being able to use the gift cards until the new year plus the claim from Youfoodz support that you can double-dip the discount (stacking discounts) is suspicious. At that the end of the day Youfoodz are a business and not a charity; I don't know how they could offer 40% off and allow additional discounts (which are often around 30% off) and still turn a profit.

              • saitken on 09/12/2019 - 19:00

                @space cadet: All good. I’m not opposed to the neg understand that people get funny about this though.

                It’s actually got me reconsidering my purchase as I’ve dropped $240 on vouchers now and half of this is for my brother for Xmas

                Don’t want to be giving out dud gifts

            • [Deactivated] on 13/12/2019 - 00:09

              @cwongtech: They had the same thing last year I believe, basically because they won't run promotions for a while after these drop, and they don't want people using them with other promotions because last year they did stack (may still). And they want lots of 'new years resolution' customers from Jan 1 so they probably won't run discounts again until Feb. They probably also don't want a stack of discounted customers over the Christmas period when they have to probably pay penalty rates for people preparing.

              I wouldn't read that much into the start date.
