Could not see that this was targeted and no sign in/up required. I ordered last week and was dispatched today. Appears to be marketing merch?
It does have the Athena Loans logo but #free is free and this is ozbargain.
Enjoy!
Mod note: The Athena representative has advised that this offer is for Athena customers only and eligible customers with a loan will be emailed a unique code to redeem this item.
They have not provided any information on whether orders made using the generic coupon (Ultimate$) will be fulfilled.
Update: The Athena store rep has given us a statement, see below for a verbatim copy of their comment:
Hey Ozbargainers,
Whilst we love that so many people want to be repping our Athena branded merch, our freebies are exclusively for our existing customers. We'll only be processing orders that are validated with unique Ultimate$ codes. To score the merch, you'll have to get an Athena home loan đ
Second update (Sept 14 6PM AEST)
Hey everyone, we have a good news update. Itâs fair to say yesterday we got properly Ozbargained! We gotta hand it to you, you were super fast and got us good! We had no idea our merch would be so popular.
To celebrate the fact we got Ozbargained we will honour all orders that went through (before the site had a sh*t fit at having thousands of hits a minute!). Your merch is being packed and will be on its way.
For those of you that didnât manage to get in before the site crashed, sorry. But if youâre still keen to get your hands on some free swag all you have to do is become a customer đ If youâre an existing customer or about to join Athena, our swag store will be back online soon (with a few changes đ) and we canât wait for you to rep our merch.
Enjoy! We would love to see some pics. And next time we have an oversupply we know where to come!
In case people are wondering, I asked the Athena rep some questions. responses below (verbatim)
Q: Just confirming that the code "Ultimate$", despite being accepted by the website, is not the actual code that customers have received?
Answer: yes
Q: Is the offer for every Athena customer or is it for certain customers only?
Answer: The unique Ultimate$ code is the unique code provided to our customers after they settle as part of our referral program and we're using this to validate orders.
Q Will there be an expiry date on the offer?
Answer: There is no expiry for the offer - it's an ongoing thing we're doing for our customers.
Would've been cool if they honored but, understandable that they dont.
We're honouring the orders that got through! See our update yesterday in the post đ
Very kind of you guys! Can't wait to get mine then, will defs look at you guys when I'm in the market for a home loan.
I was about to upvote the comment but seems voting on moderator is not allowed.
They should allow upvoting and disable downvoting for mods
Yes and also include all ozbargainers. Let's make it positive for everyone. I have been campaigning recently, but not everyone agree. When I read posts both plus and neg comments draw attention, while the non voted one doesn't stand out.
@htc: take my downvote
@pformag: Thanks for letting me know.
@htc: All good fun.
