Just a reminder coming into the school holidays - NSW residents aged 18 and over can apply for 1 x $50 voucher to use towards the cost of accommodation bookings.

You can use the Stay NSW voucher:

7 days a week, including public holidays at participating NSW businesses that are registered to accept Stay NSW Vouchers until 9 October 2022.

To use your vouchers:
find a participating NSW business that is registered to accept Stay NSW Vouchers tell the business you are using the Stay NSW voucher for payment present the voucher QR code for the business to scan at payment. If you do not have a mobile device, you can provide the business with a printed voucher or voucher code.
You can track the use of the vouchers in the Service NSW app.

When to use the voucher
You can use the Stay NSW Voucher 7 days a week, including public holidays.

Using multiple vouchers
If the business allows bill-splitting, you can combine your voucher with another person's Stay NSW Voucher towards the same bill. Haven't had/heard of any issues with multiple vouchers used at the same accommodation if the users are also staying at there as well.

Using the vouchers with discounts or deals
The business can choose to not allow Stay NSW vouchers to be used with other discounts or deals.

Participating businesses can choose not to accept the vouchers.

Unused value
If the value of the purchase is less than the value of the voucher or vouchers used, the remaining balance is given up and cannot be used by the business or the customer.

        $50 voucher to use towards the cost of accommodation bookings.

      If you read between the lines, the RBA admitted that even if they raise interest rates higher, it will make no difference to rich Australians’ buying habits. And there are more rich Australians than ever before, thanks to the precipitous rise of inequality…

      Basically, the RBA’s hands are tied. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t

        The government should just raise taxes across the board to pay off some of this debt instead of raising interest rates. At least it will help reduce some of this deficit.

        • tharlow on 19/09/2022 - 13:09
          +1

          It’s a nice sentiment, but raising taxes means a correspondingly greater interest in “tax minimisation” — an apparently legal process involving great creativity, and a large legal team (just ask Apple).

          So, the net effect is zero (almost inconceivable, I know!)

            @tharlow: Apple is a problem in USA, where lobbyists design the tax system to be exploited on purpose by those who have the administration capacity.
            We, on average have more income from corporations than USA thanks to limited lobbying power.

      Even if there's multiple guests?

      For a different data point, Meriton Suites Kent St were happy to accept multiple vouchers (one per guest) back in March.

      That's a bit crappy.

      We're going away in November and a place we're staying at accepted as many vouchers as we could give them.

      The same went for a trip down to Lake Conjola we took about a month ago.

      If you've got the vouchers, places are more than happy to redeem them.

  • skysky on 19/09/2022 - 10:45

    It's strange that you would offer a "stay voucher" for residents only.. Wouldn't you want to entice travel to the state?

    • kerfuffle on 19/09/2022 - 10:49
      +1

      Most states only offered deals like this to their own state residents to encourage intrastate travel (or in my case, staycations in the city). The only programs I'm aware of that were available to non-residents was one round of Great State accommodation vouchers for SA which was drawn as a ballot, and the Victorian Entertainment and Dining Program (which is back as of today)

      • GG57 on 19/09/2022 - 10:50

        The Victorian program is available to all holders of bank accounts in Australia.

        • kerfuffle on 19/09/2022 - 10:52

          Hence why I mentioned it as being available to non-residents.

          Perfect timing for me; eating at Gimlet next week 😁

        • dammit on 19/09/2022 - 16:07

          So if I live in nsw, I can still get the Victorian vouchers? Nice !

          • kerfuffle on 19/09/2022 - 16:08

            @dammit: They're not vouchers, it's a 25% rebate. And yes.

          • GG57 on 19/09/2022 - 16:09

            @dammit: You will get the Victoria rebates if you spend in Victoria

    • xoom on 19/09/2022 - 10:49

      The voucher is tax payer funded. So you will essentially use up nsw residents tax money for non nsw residents.

      • shegeloaf on 19/09/2022 - 18:22

        The whole scheme is farcical. They told businesses to close down. Now they want to pay customers to go and use the businesses as compensation?

        Not quite. Just debt and more debt.

    • humdingaling on 19/09/2022 - 10:51

      considering the voucher is from NSW government ….assume they want spending in NSW help NSW tourism not other states

      • skysky on 19/09/2022 - 12:37

    My account has been telling me for months that my details don't match. They do. I've checked. I tried to call them and spent 90 minutes on hold and ended up giving up. Not sure what the problem is but jumping through hoops for a $50 voucher doesn't seem like an effective use of my time. I value what little sanity I have left. ;-)

    • ReaperX22 on 19/09/2022 - 11:42
      +4

      Yep I had this issue as well. My address was correct but it was formatted oddly in the Service NSW page online.

      I re-submitted the same address and the format corrected itself and I was able to submit/apply instantly and got it within a few minutes. Partner had the same issue.

      So update the address even if it hasn't changed. They're probably using a different system than when it was first input and it can't recognise the format

      We did just a one-nighter over in Oberon (to visit Mayfield Gardens) and cost us 19 bucks ($119 -2x $50 dollar vouchers). Pretty sure my fuel cost more than the accomodation to get there from Sydney. XD

      • saltyas on 19/09/2022 - 12:41

        Same thoughts, everyone I knew had to re-type their address even though it was the exact same address and it worked a charm.

            for an accommodation booking
            7 days a week, including public holidays
            before 9 October 2022.

            https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/find-stay-nsw-vou…

            The terms seem to say it must be used before 9oct, does used mean that it only needs to be redeemed though, so you can prepay and book a date beyond that? Has anyone actually done that?

    We booked 2 cabins/villas for 2 nights at the end of Dec for 2 families in 2 separate bookings. 1 booking used 6 vouchers ($300 value), the other one used parents voucher ($250 value), paid the remaining fee and split into 2.

    If only using 1 or 2 vouchers for 1 night, it's really not worth the trip in my opinion. You can only check in after 2pm and have to check out by 10am the following morning.

        Booking was over the phone. We booked here:

        https://capitalcountryholidaypark.com.au/

        As long as it's the same type of voucher within 1 booking, you can use them. Hence we split into 2 separate booking.

        Our parents vouchers were used to booked NRMA park this coming school holiday. Booking was completed few months ago though.

        You need to email/ring them to confirm and book. Once booking is confirmed, you only need to email the voucher code.

      You could use them at the Walkabout Park Wildlife Sanctuary: https://fb.watch/fOgaNsusLU/

      "If you're wondering what to do with your NSW Stay Vouchers and Parent Vouchers, we've got an idea… One $50 voucher buys you $50 of value AND we have $50 to pay the animals' feed and vet bills. So it's like doubling your money.
      Exchange your Service NSW voucher with us for a gift voucher that you can use for entry, accommodation, snacks, souvenirs - pretty much anything. Here's how.
      Email [email protected] and include your name, email, mobile number and all your voucher codes.
      We'll email your gift vouchers back to you. AND 100% of what you spend with us is spent on the animals!
      PLEASE don't leave it until the last day as we need time to process each request manually. We must process them before they expire and this takes time, so we're trying to avoid a last minute rush."
