    Shouldn't this be a targeted deal?

    • Merlict on 12/01/2020 - 15:20

      Yeah that seems correct.

      Mod just got back, not targeted cos you can become an RFS member if you wanted to to get the deal.

      Targeted is mainly for deals where you can't do anything to attain it.

      • maddoglee on 12/01/2020 - 16:11

        Ahh that makes sense… I wonder how many ozbargainers are gonna sign up to the RFS to get this deal like we all do for credit card welcome points!? hahah

      • Homr on 12/01/2020 - 21:03

        how long does it take to become a RFS member after applying?

        • Heaclan on 12/01/2020 - 21:10

          a fair while. not as easy as creating an email and password. takes roughly a few weeks for it to become active

        • richadam on 13/01/2020 - 10:24

          During times of emergencies like right now. They are probably not taking on new applications.

            @richadam: They should if they were smart. Bigger applicant pool to choose from to get the best people.

            • ThadtheChad on 14/01/2020 - 09:36

              @Charity: Resources are diverted towards fighting fires and managing logistics. Now is not a good time, as they'd be unable to onboard and extensively train new applicants.

        • Oggy on 15/01/2020 - 13:41

          Can take more than a year. Depends on the local brigade's intake times and amount of people they need.
          There's a number of requirements as well, like living close enough, having a drivers licence/car to get to the station, enough free time etc. Definitely not for just anyone who can join and is ready to wait a few weeks.

    I dislike these (promotional) activities from organisations - seems like aiming to benefit from the fires - just donate to the cause or make it free for the emergency services crews all the time.

    • Rimzi on 12/01/2020 - 16:41

      Offer valid until 30/06/2020
      Plenty of time.
      Surely they can’t offer it forever.

      This offer is also a great way to get the RFS members and their families mind off such troubled times and just enjoy day with their families . Plus there’s nothing to say that they have not donated.

      Also… better than that burrito deal valid for just one day

    • iRMonkey on 12/01/2020 - 16:44

      Maybe they have made donations already and this is just another way to directly benefit the firies and their families with a small bit of relief from the hectic situation at the moment.

      There is virtually nothing different between free for RFS/bushfire promotional activities and normal promo activities. Discount the goodwill of giving freebies to firies and you're still left with company advertising, you just have to learn to live with it

    • Tuba on 13/01/2020 - 00:18

      Does seem less advertisy if you simply contact the emergency services and make the offer directly. All thats missing then is the advertisement.

    [BF, VIC] Free Entry

    What's BF?

      Bushfires?

      Looks like a few deals have used it…

      From a mod:

      Deal title is tagged [BF] which is a tag for all deals related to Bushfire Victims/Volunteers etc.

      There's also an event page for these deals

    I cannot even consider how low you would have to stoop to join the RFS in the hope of taking advantage of this offer.

  • cart on 12/01/2020 - 20:29

    Hi Mod,

    I didn't mark the deal as VIC because the offer applies in Sydney and Queensland as well;

    SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo, Madame Tussauds Sydney, Sydney Tower Eye, Illiwarra Fly Treetop Adventures.

      Then edit NSW, QLD into the title 😉

    Don't forget the T&Cs of needing to take a kid in with you… (For LEGO)

    • richadam on 13/01/2020 - 10:28

      they ruin all the fun

  • Homr on 12/01/2020 - 21:02

    wouldn't the fire fighters be too busy fighting fires to attend these locations?

    • cart on 12/01/2020 - 21:20

      Valid till 30/06/2020.

          They get rest days in between deployments you peanut.

        • Tuba on 13/01/2020 - 00:20

          If fire is still raging in Vic and NSW mid winter?…

  • squall3031 on 13/01/2020 - 06:15

    They ain't got time to visit these places.
    They're battling bushfires.

    • richadam on 13/01/2020 - 10:29

      It'd be good to take their families to after the fires. Considering they missed out a lot of family time over the school holidays.

  • Pedsy on 13/01/2020 - 08:14

    I'd imagine this would include ESTA employees?

  • sheepdog on 13/01/2020 - 09:30

    Would this also apply to MFB admin employees?

    • mr fox on 13/01/2020 - 19:56

      Do you think that's within the spirit of the offer?
