Free $20 Digital Mastercard for Singing Happy Birthday & Submitting Video (First 3,000 Submissions) @ BWS 21st Birthday

704

Credit to spackbace for finding the easy $10 deal. Thought the $20 option was worthy of its own post.

Being an OzBargainer who doesn't love easy money? You can get $20 instead of $10 if you don't mind singing happy birthday and submitting the video to BWS. I just did a quick 15 second video on the online form. Was a really easy process.

Note: You can only do one. If you have already signed the birthday card for $10 you can't do the birthday song for $20 as well.

The first 3,000 valid video Messages (containing someone singing happy birthday to BWS, other than singing that is performed for a Task 3 or Task 4 and other than doing a BWS birthday dance) received and accepted by the Promoter (having passed the moderation process and deemed deserving by the Promoter's representatives based on merit) will win a $20 digital Vault Pays-enabled Prepaid Mastercard®.

    Rejected as well. Looks like BWS have managed to turn a PR stunt into a PR loss. Skimping on this is enough for me to stop spending there.

      That sucks. Did you sing as well? I haven’t been accepted or rejected and it was on the 2nd :(

    Finally got an email. For the birthday singing.

    “ We apologise for the delay, we have received a large number of entries.

    I can confirm that your claim has now been approved, please allow 24-48 hrs for your digital Mastercard to come through.”

  • Looks like a bunch of the old tasks are now available again (I'm still waiting on my $20 from the 9th)

  • Submitted bday song video on 11th Jun, haven’t got the $20 yet

      I submitted on 5 June and only received it yesterday. They had a lot of entries. It might just come through soon.

    no paid. still no response yet.

  • I got a txt with a code etc, But the link doesnt work. It says ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

  • WTF! My family had two entries for the cake, been waiting over two weeks, and just got two rejected emails for 'not satisfying task requirements'. They absolutely did! What a scam this promotion has been

  • Merged from BWS 21st Birthday Rejections

    Anyone else receive rejection emails yesterday regarding their entry, which they submitted over 2 weeks ago? They provided a BS reason that the entry did not meet the competition requirements, but I suspect they were overwhelmed with entries and simply rejected all these entries. Two of my family members received this message, and I know for a fact the entries complied.

    Very unimpressed with this promotion, it was terribly and unprofessionally run with T&C's that were all over the place, but regardless, the entries most definitely were compliant. Even my own entry which was under 10 seconds was approved. So what gives..

    Don't bother emailing BWS with a complaint, they will just send a cookie cutter response and fob you off.

    • I got my $10 card, my brother got his $10 and his $20 one as well. Which entry method did you do?

      • These were all cake entries. I got mine, but these other two claims by my family members were denied. Waste of time, ingredients and effort making these cakes.

        • Did all of your 'family members' use the same cake?

          • @djkelly69: No, they all made their own cake/videos

    • Can we see what they entered so we can decide?

      • It was cake entries, the videos were 10 seconds and had 'Happy birthday BWS' clearly written in the icing , so no excuse not to award the win.

        • maybe because the b wasn't capitalized ?

          • @Savas: Haha yeah with the terribly written T&C's they could probably claim anything without providing a reason. But it was..

            • +1

              @nubzy: maybe they thought two entries from the same family was being greedy..

              the terms also say, "deemed deserving by the Promoter's representatives based on merit".

              • @Savas: Nah, T&C's had no restrictions on how many people can enter and win. Yes it's clauses like these that allow them to weasel out of paying out. But to go to the effort of making a cake and using ingredients I don't know how they can deny it based on merit , the 'Happy Birthday BWS' was clearly visible in the icing. I know other people on here had encountered similar issues with this promotion. Just have to write it off I guess, but cannot deny this promo had very inconsistent/vague T&Cs and instructions.

      I did the lowest value one (Write a Birthday card for $10) got approved quite easily. I think loads of people went for the higher value activities and they got so overwhelmed with media uploads that they don't have enough manpower to watch or listen to all of them.

      • That's what I am thinking too. Easier to just reject them all and claim a BS reason. They probably ran out of $ ages ago. It was interesting how they re-opened entries for those higher pay challenges towards the end though..

        I entered early in the promotion, and it still took about over 2 weeks for approval.

      • There were limits on how many people could enter each of the activities.. some of the high value ones were already closed before it was even posted on ozbargain.

  • Has anyone received entry approved email but didn't receive the digital giftcard by text? Can we ask them to send the card again again? Thanks.

    • +1

      I did my entry a few weeks ago, only received the "entry approved" email a few days ago and then received the SMS today.

        Thanks. Got it today too.

  • Since I downloaded and signed up to the Vault Payment app to get the $20 gift card, I've started receiving scam texts about Afterpay codes and Zip refunds. Never had any sort of buy now, pay later" payment method - hoping it's coincidental and that these are just the latest round of scam SMS.
