4x Gold Class Movie Tickets for $39 (Save $117), Free Postage - Friday's Amex Connect Deal

1201

Okay, I'll post this a day early. I think I have enough tickets now.

This is today's upcoming deal for Amex Connect (at 12:00pm). I am not a rep, a few of us on the forums figured out how to get this info early.

Gold Class Movie Tickets, buy 1, get 3 free. $39 for 4 tickets, saving $117. Free postage via Australia Post (ordinary, not registered).
Tickets expire 30 March 2013.
Valid at Event, Birch Carroll & Coyle and Village cinemas.

You're meant to need a bank issued (ANZ, CBA, NAB, Westpac) Amex but in reality it simply DOES NOT MATTER.
I have used a non-bank issued Amex to buy a whole bunch of stuff from Amex Connect already. Just select any bank when asked.

I don't know how many will be available but the first batch had 700 lots, the second batch had 400 lots.

So the link was meant to be: http://www.amexconnect.com.au/OfferDetails.aspx?OfferId=47
BUT, if yesterday's deal is anything to go by, it might change so I suggest you simply bookmark http://www.amexconnect.com.au

TIPS for those crying about not being able to purchase anything:
Use a decent fixed broadband internet connection, not some mobile "broadband" rubbish.
Have your credit card number saved in the clipboard so you can just Ctrl-V it (or if your name is really really long, maybe have that saved instead).
At around 11:45, go to the site, click on Your Profile, log in again when prompted by the pseudo-popup, and leave the browser open.
Open up your system clock. It should be sync'ed to an internet time server, just as Amex Connect's server is. When it hits 12:00:00pm, refresh the page. No earlier.
Maybe open another tab loading the page every 5-10 seconds, but leave the current one going. Don't hit refresh.
Once one starts loading, close all others.
Do this for the first click (View Deal), and second click (Buy Now).
TYPE FAST.

T&C will state one purchase per person per account per card per day per whatever.
However, if you have multiple accounts you can purchase multiple times, just use different details in the top box of checkout.
Delivery name / address can be the same, credit card details can be the same.
You will need multiple accounts now as the email address field is not editable as it was during the first batch of tickets. To pull this off, have multiple browsers / computers pre-logged in from different accounts (will likely sell out before you can switch accounts).

This is the last daily deal by Amex Connect (unless they extend it).
Thanks for the great ride, American Express. Cheers for the bargains.

The direct link has typically been:
http://www.amexconnect.com.au/OfferDetails.aspx?OfferId=47
(substituting 47 following the obvious pattern), redirecting to 48 until 12:00pm SHARP
but today's tablet tricked us by jumping to 118 (random)

    however, I would have preferred the Mothercare one.. lol… (I think $20 for $100 worth of goods)

  • Got em… 2094. Sorry no kids yet, GC better than Mothercare for me :)

  • Browser crashed during process tho got email confirmation….

    believe it went thru?

    • If you got email confirmation it's fine

    • That should be fine, in their T&C's:

      "The voucher is only guaranteed for purchase once a confirmation message of the purchase has come up after the payment page, and/or an email confirmation of purchase has been received."

      • Thanks to both of you for the info cheers!

  • I was on the page where I was filling out the details, and when I hit submit it timed out. Had to retry. And every other time I hit submit, I get "Payment error — suspected fraud (159)".

    Lame. Now I don't even know if my payment went through or not. They may have charged me already, but I don't know if they will send the tickets.

    • You should get an order confirmation if the first one went through.

    • Did you try a multiple purchase by any chance?
      Have you got email confirmation?

      • Did not get an email. :(

        Anyway, are any of these cinemas in Victoria?

  • thanks, purchased and received the email confirmation

  • +1

    • No worries.

  • Thanks. Got 1!!

  • their payment system must be down?

  • ooohooo, finally got it, after refreshing on so many steps

  • Success. Thank you. I've never been to Gold Class.

  • +1

    I tried using Mastercard for once (as I ran out of AmEx cards to use) and it failed during processing. Not sure if that's separate incident or non-AmEx cards don't really work :)

  • We didn't take down the server entirely. Disappointed in OzBargain.

    In other news, I thought this kind of deal doesn't belong on OzBargain.
    Limited quantity, slow website that demands refreshing…
    I guess that's only true if you miss out, right?
    Bloody whingers. Let's not become like Whirlpool.

  • Payment system is down +1

  • dammit cant get to the payment gateway.

  • Anyone got a lower order number than 202X?

    • unlikely, im 2030 and i believe im one of the first that get through…

  • +3

    CHECKOUT PAGE WONT FREAKEN COMPLETE MY FORM!!!

  • What's tomorrow's 12pm deal? Movie tickets are lame…

    • tomorrow's 12pm deal will be whatever you like, pasta, fish & chips, or maybe Chinese food?

  • +1 suspected fraud error - finally made it to the payment but it wouldnt go through!

  • it's just stuck spinning…..

  • My page is refreshing since 12.01

  • Spinning Spinning… Looks like we missed out :( oh well….

  • yeah boo, not happening for me either

  • Yeh when you click 'buy' it just goes to a blank page :(

  • Damm my 28.8k modem connection is too slow.

    I need better internet! NBN!?! Will they be doing this in 20years time?

  • +1

    im assuming their payment gateway went down.

    • Ironic as its AMEX

  • 2034

  • it's not showing showsold yet????? what wont it work!!!!

  • not happening

  • The spinning wheel is frozen on the page - does this mean it stopped working? (The wheel on the tab though is still spinning)

  • -3

    Does it HAVE to be an Amex? I have a NAB Visa…and it's not letting me purchase :(

  • looks like it back up

  • tried about 10 minutes and finally got one! thanks!

  • Anyone got Payment error: Suspected fraud (159) when trying to purchase from second account?

    • Yep - when I finally do make it to the payment gateway, I get the fraud error.

    • Yep I did too

  • FU******** "suspected fraud error"

  • +1

    Suspected fraud, and haven't even purcahsed…..damn it

  • Payment error: Suspected fraud (159)

    The deal is for bank issued American Express cardmembers

    My card was issued by Westpac unless I am typing something wrong.

    Security code is 4 digits right, and on the front of the card? VISA and MC are 3 digits and on the back, but I don't see anything there.

    The first time I clicked submit it didn't say Suspected fraud but it crashed and I had to reset. Every other time after it did say that. I checked my email and never got any confirmation though, so I don't think it went through.

    I've had to give up. It won't accept my card. They better not have charged me for it.

    • same here. i use my gf's credit card. should ask her to check if her card is debited.

  • LOL I got that too.. The NAB bank fraud people must think something is wrong and frauded us

    • Nah it's PinPoint's system generating it

  • +1

    They have made it AMEX ONLY this time, which makes this a lot less attractive to most people on here…
