The Promoter will automatically update the Promotional website as determined by BOM Albury weather station when the aforementioned requirements are met
The prepaid digital Mastercard is redeemable for a pint of Guinness at a participating pub.
Same, no SMS after ~2hrs. Weird :/
got email last night, no SMS still
I got an email at 1:20am when I registered.
Thank you for registering to be a part of Guinness Season.
When the temperature on the Guinness Thermometer hits optimal drinking range - 5-7 degrees - we'll send you a pre-paid digital cash card you can redeem for a free pint of Guinness. So pray for cold.
It was already 7c showing on their site so sounds like something is stuffing up as No SMS received and doubt I'll get one based on above wording.
I did it 15mins after this post appeared. No email, no text. I think the Irishman who coded the site was drunk…
Damn missed this :(
Getting an "Error. Offer has ended" when I try to register. But T&Cs say offer goes until 31st July.
Ozbargained?
Registered in incognito 10 min ago - no problem.
It looks like they've opened registration again…
(I registered last night from Tassie with a Vic postcode, no issues, got the SMS and $15.. The card has a 12month expiry date so if it doesn't work locally I'll use it next time I'm in Vic/NSW)
Thanks - will use next trip South🍺
Registered for 2001, from QLD.
Temp was below 7C.
No SMS or MC!
Just registration successful.
FYI offer ended, ozbargained early
EDIT: I was able to register
Offer has ended
I got my sms within 30 min of registration. Two of my friends registered at the same tine but no sms.
It looks like registration is open again so the "expired" can probably be removed from the deal…
anyone tried using their card instore like coles or woolies?
I haven't registered yet but will be doing so after this comment. I wouldn't be surprised if the card is MCC locked to "Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages), Bars, Taverns, Cocktail lounges, Nightclubs and Discotheques" similar to how the Special Pub Crawler gift card should be. I would be interested to see if you can use it at Liquorland/First Choice/BWS/Dans as well. If that's the case you could at least get a Coles Myer gift card from LL/FC since BWS/Dans no longer sell Wish cards.
Yeah I noticed on Vault's page that they can restrict based on geolocation, which is why I'm curious if NSW/Vic people can just use it at Maccas or something
NSW here. Tried purchasing a Wish gift card from Woolworths GC online and it declined. Will try other methods and report back when i have some time.
I tried a Dans order in Tassie:
There was an issue processing your payment. Please try again later
Maybe Dan's + other non-pub liquor retailers might be under "Package Stores - Beer, Wine, and Liquor"
Quite possible, and/or locked to Vic/NSW…
@FLICKIT: I guess we'll have to wait for someone from the meat in our geographical sandwich to try it out for us.
It should be.
Someone once confirmed with their credit card issuer that BWS Online is classified as Package Stores Beer, Wine and Liquor.
Considering BWS and Dan Murphy’s are owned by the same company and operate a very similar type of business (i.e. bottleshops), I would expect Dan Murphy’s online to also be categorised as Package Stores Beer, Wine and Liquor.
@WookieMonster: Thanks for the reference. I guess at this stage we're down to trying our luck at bars/pubs not listed on the participating locations list.
Has anyone registered using their gmail address+(yourtexthere)@gmail.com address and successfully received emails/the card?
You don't need an email address, it is only based on phone numbers.
Email address is a required field on the rego form.
It is not verified or used in anyway.
I haven't been out in so long I forgot pubs sell food and I could actually use this to claim a burger with a lot. Even Manhattan Superbowl is on the list.
Was thinking that - even if they're restricted only to pubs/bars you could just buy food with it instead.
Curious to see if I can purchase a GC from a bottle shop
As in a Coles Myer card from Liquorland/First Choice/Vintage Cellars or a bottle shop gift card from an independent?
If the receipt cost more than $15 at the pub, does pubs allow split payment methods?
That would be up to the pub.
Thanks would be kinda annoying if they don’t.
I signed up but how does this work?
Is it one time offer or do we get $15 everytime it reaches below 7 degree in Albury? Does it have to reach 7 degrees at a certain time? Albury will always go below 7 degrees every night between 12am - 6am. So does that mean we get $15 everyday?
Has anyone gotten the card to work anywhere?
Just registered and got an email that says:
Thank you for registering to be a part of Guinness Season.

Your card will only work at the venues listed on the Guinness Season Pub Finder. You can find your nearest venue here: https://www.guinness-season.com/pubfinder
From,
The Guinness Team
Surely I am not the only person in this thread who is actually looking forward to having a Guinness at my local (which is a listed pub), as per the original intention of this generous promotion?
Yep, pretty much just you :p
Just look for people staring at their Guinness, trying it and then not finishing it
Walk up to them and ask their Ozbargain username ;)
"SlavOZ"
At least revesby workers club is down the corner as its listed as participating
But might try at bankstown sports club first and buy a coffee
Once you get the SMS and get the mastercard, can you only use the Mastercard while the temperature is between 5 and 7? What if you head down the pub with your mastercard and find that the temp has crept up to 10 degrees?
Nope, can use the card any time
Can you use it only for the Guinness or for other things like food as well?
No idea at this stage
Tried it at a non listed pub in NSW… Doesn't work.
Go blues.
Would this work for food at Sporting Globe?
It’s 6.1 degrees!
No text received?
Not yet for me
how long does it take for the sms to come thru?
SMS's take only a second or so to get from the sender to the receiver.
damn haven't gotten mine yet
Now if it will go down just another 1.4 degrees its off to the Pancake Parlour
https://www.pancakeparlour.com.au/winter-parlour
Never for some of us. Still nothing yet submitted at 01:20 last night with genuine details (two of us). Neither received SMS and only one received an email noting the interest. Bloody useless systems.
Submitted around 01:20-01:30 today with genuine details and the temperature in Albury dropped to the required limit and then it dropped even lower than that. I know because it's where I live.
I am yet to receive an SMS.
Is it drinks or you can get a feed?
No SMS tonight.
No sms since registering yesterday. Happy to continue with the Dry July :)
No sms here.
joining league club membership would be great spend
SMS received this morning so took 30 hours for mine.
Its the right temp now! 5.2 degrees
Nothing here yet
Damm why only NSW, come to other states pls
I've figured out how this works. It seems you can register when the temperature hits (and during) and the card comes next time the temperature hits
May well be correct
I had registered when the temp hit the first day this deal was posted and didn’t receive any SMS when the temp dropped to 7 yesterday
Still nothing today either
It doesn't say thats how it works. But they are obviously having issues with it, otherwise I'm sure all of us would be saying we got ours.
Tried today at BWS online which got failed 😕
A meal at a participating venue (or a shandy or two) is probably as it gets with this card
Did you try it on a meal
Haven't received anything yet. Waiting to see if anyone can break the shackles of this card
BTW the thermometer is currently down to 5.6°C again
Tried McDonald's in Melbourne, didn't work
Got it the SMS but the card doesn't work anywhere. Ebay, Amazon and everything.
I mean I’m sure it might work somewhere ;)
Like one of the participating venues? BUMMER!
Did anybody receive an SMS in the last 24 hours? Temperature was correct yesterday and I registered the day before but nothing.
Nope. Same as you.
Grr, I got a code yesterday but got sidetracked. I tried to activate it today but too late as it had to be activated within 24Hrs!
Moral of Story: Don't get sidetracked and activate when you receive!
Pretty sure you can reregister
Got my sms… Registered 3 days ago lol
Same for me
Just got the SMS too after a few days
Just received the sms and added to my wallet
Got my sms after 3 days. Amazed how Mastercard is now able to system lock this to just a few pubs.
Yeah, Vault payments that manages it. They can Geo Block or in this instance lock it to specific vendors. Horrible app and can only be linked to GooglePay or Samsung Pay. I use neither.
OK finally received it. Now what to do with it…
Do you have to add it to a Google wallet in 24hrs, or just click the redemption link?
Also, can you use a location spoofer? I just want to grab a Guinness from my local pub today.
Got my SMS today, what do i do with it??
Follow the links to install crappy vault app. Then you can link the card to Google Apps or your preferred NFC phone app if supported by Vault.
OR
You can manually type the M/C card number (assuming premises has that capability…….which most don't).
Thanks, I have added that the card to google pay. I haven't used google pay tap before, do all eftpos machines support google pay?
Am I limited to ordering Guiness beer or can I purchase anything from the pub?
Should I ask to test if the card works first before ordering? I don't want to look like an idiot where I ordered food, then ready pay and the card gets declined hahaha
