    Can anyone confirm whether IOS device does actually change the UDID with a factory reset - tried it on a old Ipad Mini running IOS 12, and it did not change. There is conflicting info on the internet whether it can or cannot.

    I seem to be unlucky, i did get the G09 error the other day when I bought a new iphone and tried to login. Previously i would use my Ipad Mini to lock the price using ifake location, and then use my Android phone with 7/11 app to get the petrol and Pay&GO. i probably locked fuel once or twice a month maximum and only sometimes chose interstate locations, depend on price difference. I probably should have used a screen shot of the barcode, but i really liked the Pay&Go feature.

    • CodeXD on 14/04/2023 - 11:53

      You can always record down the device ID, perform a factory reset and compare it again?

      • cwongtech on 14/04/2023 - 12:05

        Grab the UUID from the contact us form within the 7/11 all @theblake

        Don't.. send the actual email though
        Or you can change the destination email (delete the support one) and send back to your own email to compare before and after

        • theblake on 14/04/2023 - 13:07

          there are easier ways to grab UDID from IOS, on a Mac its displayed in System Information/USB, or the Backup folder name.

          • cwongtech on 14/04/2023 - 13:10

            @theblake:

            there are easier ways to grab UDID from IOS, on a Mac its displayed in System Information/USB, or the Backup folder name.

            For Android, Device ID is no longer universal across apps. I don't use iOS, I operate a fleet of Android choppers.
            Since the 7/11 Contact Us form reports exactly what would be sent to 7/11 during the fuel lock request, that would be the most ideal source to verify it against.

      • theblake on 14/04/2023 - 13:05

        thanks - how do you think i know that the UDID did not change. My question is, has anyone successfully changed their iphone/ipad UDID after a factory reset.

    • spc12go on 14/04/2023 - 12:05

      I recreated account after it got banned. Same apple device same device ID. A week after it got banned, that was for interstate lock.

      Created another account, no issue so far. Just locking greater Sydney region. It’s been 4 weeks and no issue.

      • theblake on 14/04/2023 - 13:09

        good points - i generally made sure that if i ever grabbed a interstate lock, i dont use it for a few days. But unless they are being really ruthless that might not trigger their reporting. If i ever needed an urgent lock, i generally grabbed one within 100kms or so.

    you guys may know that smali patcher is not workin in Android 12. As i recently rooted my note 10 the 7/11 app was giving error "your location is not true". And i tried 100s hours to test combination of different roms, magisk versions and module to finally understand that its not working with android 12.

    Finally got a way around for fake location for Android 12. Smali patcher installed and wanted to use fake location but the app always detected that my location is not true. So I downloaded "hide mock location" module from Lsposed. And selected the 7/11app in hide mock location. And now I can set any location using fake location and the app is working like charm.

      Yes. My Android Studio guide (link at top of page) uses this method and should work on any rooted phone. The smali patch method is convoluted and outdated IMHO.

    • Sundubu on 29/04/2023 - 23:55

      Thank you for this. Been spending hours trying to understand why the Smali patcher didn't work. Confirming your method works on my rooted pixel. 👍

        Not having any issues here either, but just wanted to note that, annoyingly, every now and then I am suddenly logged out for no known reason. Just need to log back in but it's a tad annoying.

        Not sure if it's because of autoupdate to the app or some other reason.

    I also share this account logged in on another iphone.

  • rdes86 on 04/05/2023 - 22:34

    I had an 7-11 account that survived the initially survived the account banning .

    I would look for the cheapest fuel on my journey to anywhere .

    I had locked Diesel on the way to Brisbane @ Eight Miles Plain on Saturday morning and Fuel up as soon as I got to Brisbane.

    On Sunday , I locked in fuel for unleaded on Sunday locally as it was cheapest in my area and my account had logged out when I went to use the bar code and I logged back in and got the bar code so managed to used to fuel lock and then immediately got kicked out . When I tried to log in , I got the dreaded G09 error.

    I was like WTF. No Heli had been used.

    I have a feeling that 7-11 are purposely putting the cheapest fuel alot cheaper than the rest around the area to catch out Heli users.

    For example Diesel in QLD the cheapest is Tingalpa at 178.90 but in the South East QLD the next cheapest price is 187.90 . I think 7-11 is creating bait by having random cheap 7-11 because shouldn't all the 7-11 in an area sort of be about the same price.

    Has anyone had any luck with complaining to 7-11 when you are doing the right thing?

      Create a new account, move on.

  • bbvc on 06/05/2023 - 11:32

    We recently just had all 5 accounts on an iPad blocked with a G09 error about 1.5 weeks ago.

    So I went ahead and created a new account for myself on my android phone. Only I've used the new account to lock in a local price, used it once last weekend on Sunday and now I've been locked out of the account again with the same G09 error. I haven't even used it on the potentially blacklisted iPad device due to what everyone is saying my be a device ID issue.

    Everyone else who also had their account locked have also since created a new account. So far no one has actually used their app to redeem any fuel, 3 ppl just did a price lock with the iPad but have since been locked out of the new account without use.

    And the final person has created a whole new account also on their android phone, haven't even used or touched the account since opening it, and the account has been locked also.

    Anyone else experience such a phenomenon?

      I got g09 and made 3 new accounts. One banned without even being used and the other 2 both have been use to lock fuel and redeem a couple of times without chopper.

      Have since started filling up in non 7-Eleven fuel stations as they are typically cheaper when not using the chopper

  • zooter on 08/05/2023 - 18:42

    just in the process of buying a new chopper…should I use the account with velocity or use a different account for this chopper? How often do pilots lose their license?

    • daanish on 09/05/2023 - 07:24
      +6

      I'd advise de-linking your Velocity account and just using your FF number/velocity card separately. If the 7/11 account linked to your Velocity account ever gets G09'd there's no way to unlink them.

      Depending on the register operator they will either scan your QR code or type your membership number in manually. You'll know it worked if you see a "Velocity Member" line item on your receipt.

      • onyxx on 15/05/2023 - 23:03

        my 7/11 account linked to velocity just got banned after years of using it. do you know if i can still manually scan my velocity card? or it won't work because its linked to a banned account

        • daanish on 15/05/2023 - 23:17

          Yes it will work. Same thing happened to me.

    I've found storing the the barcode for my account in the Stocard app on my good phone and using an old iPhone that can be used with the 7/11 app as its only purpose works well. the 7/11 app is only being used on the 1 old phone at all times then and my good phone only has the 7/11 barcode in the Stocard app.

      Stocard is amazing (although I don't use it for 7/11 since I just create more accounts as required..)

      If that's the case, perhaps they're banning based on multiple sign-ins with diffferent devices

      7/11 is definitely reading this thread though, after someone mentioned the UUID in March 2023 (I knew from Dec 2022 when they started mass banning), mysteriously, UUID is no longer showing up as they've moved the contact us form off a template generated to be sent using your email client and built the form within the app itself.

    fyi - for those using amex for points. In news to me, others might have picked up on this earlier, 7-11 now accept amex.

    My amex card was accepted at 7-11 yesterday. I had been using a visa or mastercard for the past several years as amex was not previously accepted.
    I accidentally tapped the amex card as the wallet was open to that from a previous purchase, and expecting a decline I was pleasantly surprised the transaction request was approved.
