    Sorry about the previous 25% cashback post. It's a actually only 15%, as confirmed by TA.

    (I missed the "up to" fine print 😬)

    • nismo on 09/02/2022 - 10:21

      Yes, it was very tiny in the email and banner (and multi stores too), I was waiting to find out the exact %off, good work!

    • Bytelover on 09/02/2022 - 11:56

      Yea, must've commented that on your original post just before it got taken down.
      The small print is definitely misleading, especially considering that when you click on the banner it doesn't specify the rate or take you to t&cs with the actual rate in it.

      I'm always supporting Cashback sites when people are complaining about tracking and whatnot, but in this case I'm definitely disappointed that they have to resort to such misleading advertising.

    • rehan770 on 09/02/2022 - 20:14

      I would wait for shopback as they haven't come up with a promo this week with first choice i suppose

  • jackyli1204 on 09/02/2022 - 10:15

    I will hold for 25% to complete the 2nd week of $120.

    • QuickToThePointless on 09/02/2022 - 14:59

      give me a minimum of 20% + stackables or give me water!

    • Some Guy on 09/02/2022 - 18:35

      Roll of the dice that another FC offer is coming this week.

  • Kanari on 09/02/2022 - 10:17

    Is the 10% discount from yesterday still running?

      Typical misleading advertising by cash rewards

      • Ricktheroller on 09/02/2022 - 14:27

        Crazy, I'm used to the questionable Cashrewards promotional 'style' but I missed this one, read it as 25% when I skimmed over it this morning. Now that I've revisited it I've seen the words 'up to'… do smaller fonts exist?

    • Corgsta on 09/02/2022 - 21:28

      Yeah this was a bit low bar IMO. A lot of retailers do this and it’s crap, basically robs consumers of trust in the brand. Cashrewards don’t seem to do this much and I like them but I hope they don’t do it in the future. Or just be specific and say for e.g. 25% cash back on Spumante cask wines at First Choice!

  • suntagonal on 09/02/2022 - 10:26

    My targeted flybuys points of 8k disappeared from the flybuys app… did this happen to anyone else when they satisfied the first week?

    • diguinBR on 09/02/2022 - 10:30

      mine isn’t showing as well.

    • Belch on 09/02/2022 - 10:36

      I have had that happen with the deals like spend $100 a week for 4 weeks …. the deal still works as long as you have met each weeks requirement.

    • bongo007 on 09/02/2022 - 10:38

      Yes, disappeared here too

    • robinCTS on 09/02/2022 - 10:43

      Same here.

      Looks like a bug in the app. I'm guessing the multi-week edge case was not properly accounted for, for display purposes.

      The actual offer still works, though.

      • suntagonal on 09/02/2022 - 10:54

        Thanks all, good to know. Just wanted to make sure

        I don't know how to link the other thread here, but I had same issue and FB advised after 1st week these sort of offers no longer appears in your App but as long as you activated it's still there in system…

    • Irishness on 09/02/2022 - 11:18

      did anyone get confirmation of satisfying the 1st week?

      • harthagan on 09/02/2022 - 12:16

        Nope, but then again I never have in the past. Except on bottom of coles receipts as part of the multi week FB offers

      • robinCTS on 09/02/2022 - 15:47

        @Irishness: Yep, just got the email. (See my comment below.)

    • altomic on 09/02/2022 - 14:46

      mine did too, but then got an email saying "hey, don't forget to spend $50 for week 2 for 8K rewards" or some wording like that

        @altomic: 🤔

        All I got was a "Shop before Sun 6 Feb 2022 to unlock week 2!" email after I activated the offer. Nothing after that.

        NVM. Just got a "LAST CHANCE for 8,000 bonus points with First Choice Liquor Market! Shop ‪before Sun 13 Feb 2022‬ to qualify!" email which also states that Week 1 has been completed.

    • shahrah on 09/02/2022 - 16:09

      if you have activated that offer, don't worry it will be back.

  • Pushp28 on 09/02/2022 - 10:40

    Tough call…..Take this one or wait for another cashback before Flybuys week 2 offer expires…25% would have been perfect

    15% excl GST not enough. 10% instant rebate a couple of days back was better than 13.64% after 100 days.

    A $ today is better than a $ tomorrow!

      Agree.

      Shopback wins for booze cashback deals.

  • Dave Bowman on 09/02/2022 - 11:13

    I asked this in the other post before it was deleted. There's a problem where a lot of items say "Out of stock in QLD" when trying to C&C, even though they're in stock. Any type of cask wine for example.

    Do any other states have this problem?

    • Irishness on 09/02/2022 - 11:19
      +1

      the fc website is crap, so many items in my local store are not on the website

      • harthagan on 09/02/2022 - 12:18

        And I have the opposite issue. FC website shows orders as in stock at my local yet when I purchase online they promptly cancel the order and say it's not in stock. Very frustrating that they don't give me the opportunity to pick a replacement item or choose to pick up from another store where it's available.

        • robinCTS on 09/02/2022 - 13:13

          @harthagan: Not sure if there's something fishy going on with your local in particular, but this can legitimately happen if either the online SOH is incorrect and the actual quantity available is less than what you ordered, or if the quantity you ordered was available but by the time your order was picked, enough had been sold in-store or picked for other orders such that your order couldn't be fulfilled.

          This has happened to me a couple of times. The first time, I got a call from the store offering to either do a refund of the shorted items or do a substitution. I told them "heck no" to a refund as it would negate my cashback, but asked instead to do a substitution without modifying the order. The did exactly that and I ended up getting my cashback.

          The second time, I turned up to the store, without checking my phone to see if all my orders had been picked, only to find that one had been cancelled as "not enough stock available" even though there was a whole stack of the beer that was in that order on display.1 I rang Customer Support and they simply resent the same order back to the store, and I ended up getting the cashback.

          I'm guessing that thanks to COVID and being busier than normal, they've stopped ringing up and are just cancelling the orders.

          Next time, I would suggest going to the store, checking if they've enough stock available, and if so ringing Customer Support then and there. Once they've pushed the order back to the store you can get a team member to pick the order. Or if they're "too busy", just do so yourself and take the item(s) to the registers.

          1. Note that it's quite possible that there was insufficient stock available at the time they attempted to pick the order, but more stock had arrived since then. ↩

    • robinCTS on 09/02/2022 - 11:27

      @SpaceOdyssey: 🤔

      I do know that here in WA, if the Click & Collect store that you've set is out of stock (according to their system, not necessarily in-store) of a particular item, you get an "Out of stock in WA" message when trying to add it to your cart. If you switch to a store with stock, it works just fine. (IIRC I tested this for a couple of other states and got the same result.)

      Maybe this is related to that bug?

      • Dave Bowman on 09/02/2022 - 14:28

        Looks like every store in QLD has this issue with cask wine. If I change to a NSW postcode then it works. Weird.

        • robinCTS on 09/02/2022 - 15:18
          +1

          @SpaceOdyssey: If you do a search for "cask" with your cart set to Click & Collect from a Queensland store, you'll notice that the Click & Collect icons for all the casks are greyed out instead of being gold with either a green tick or red cross corresponding to the stock availability.

          Looks like a different bug to the one I mentioned.1

          As a workaround I would suggest contacting Customer Support and seeing if they are willing to change the Click & Collect store of an order you put through from one in NSW (or another state) to your local in QLD. Have your order ready to be submitted, but don't do so until they agree to do the swap.

          1. My bug results in just
            "Removed product […] in WA as it is no longer in stock.";
            whilst yours displays an extra line
            "No stock found for product […] in QLD
            Removed product […] in QLD as it is no longer in stock."             ↩

    Please be careful with refund from FCL. I did not collect an order during the lockdown and told it would be refunded. After 4 weeks, nothing happened. It was processed straight away after another phone call which imo was quite unacceptable for a business of this size.

    • harthagan on 09/02/2022 - 12:26

      Had this happen twice too!

    • binatang on 09/02/2022 - 12:30

    Good Tides Seltzer.

    I'm not sure I mentioned this, but I noticed price hikes in most the wines I've bought over the last 24 months.

    One of the $140 bottles, is now $160

    Some of the $25, are $36

    Because I generally look at the same wines, it's easy to go back through my orders to see what I paid.

    • nismo on 09/02/2022 - 18:28

      I think there were general price hikes (of alcohol) around mid year or in the second half of 2021.

      • robinCTS on 09/02/2022 - 18:56

        @nismo: It's actually worse than that. Most of the price increase is due to the six-monthly CPI-based alcohol tax increases, the last of which was 2.1% on Feb 1.

        NVM The above doesn't apply. Wine is subject to wine equalisation tax, not excise duty.

        • nismo on 09/02/2022 - 19:38

          I just recalled a friend seeing a sign at the bottle shop ard mid last year saying prices had gone up

      @MOMEHT - Hi. This tends to happen with FCL (and a couple of other stores) when multiple SKUs are purchased in the same transaction. Please allow a few hours and the transaction should auto-adjust to the correct amount in your CR acct. If it doesn't, please let me know tomorrow :)

      • MOMEHT on 10/02/2022 - 01:51
