I think someone at Pizza Hut stuffed up with this code!
You seem to be able to add it as many times as you want and it will still cost you nothing,not sure how you'd go when you go to pick them up so use at your own risk!!
EDIT: It does say $6 but when you click on it comes up as $0.00
Wow, Ozbargain's really gone downhill.
Harassing someone just because they let a business know that something was wrong instead of knowingly exploiting it like you guys?
Tsk tsk.
Yep. There's always some contention over the ethics of exploiting a loophole, pricing error, or the like, but digging through someone's social network presence and slyly inciting a mob to personally attack them over the matter is a new low.
Someone will get in a lot of trouble for this simple mistake. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves…
And to those downvoting this comment - I don't need to say anything. You've said it already about yourself and it's not pretty.
Yep. Shame on all of you who exploited this.
Yep Pizza Hut is a great organisation who never exploits anyone, eh. shame on everyone who stooped to their level…. ?
Pretty much, spoke with any Yum! employees lately?
And you've never exploited a pricing error or loophole in your life, ibfragalot? I somehow doubt (due to you being a user of "OzBargain") that you sit in a lofty enough position of purity to talk down to everyone else that has.
I have not and would not exploit an obvious mistake that someone could get in serious trouble for. I know people who code promos/combos at my work. Data entry clerks are everyday people who are paid very little money, usually older ladies and like anyone else they make mistakes. I'm dealing with such a mistake myself today at a fairly large company.
And I certainly would not bully someone over the internet, for any reason, especially not for simply doing the right thing.
I certainly did enjoyed the freebie mate, thanks for asking.
Whoa, now I get some negs for enjoying my freebies?
Can somebody think of the children!!!!!!!1111onejuan
It seems that any ridiculous exploitation here is regarded in the spirit of 'a true ozbargainer'
Anyone made an order last night while the deal was still active and picked it up today?
I got 6 waiting for me at 3, I hope so
let us know how it goes..i have mine waiting at 5.30 pm :-)
"No order at all" they had nothing for me or any record of me ordering at all.
Did u mention them about ur email confirmation ?
yep I ordered last night for pick up at 12pm at Balwyn Vic store. Rocked up at 11.30am and told the guy I have an internet order at 12 pm (using Living Social $2 deal and the free garlic bread and coke). Didnt even need to give my name and the guy just said he would make it now and he didnt even want to see my Living Social printed voucher.
Gave everything to me without any problem at all.
Last night, after I successfully put in the first order, I was gonna make another order using the code for the free garlic bread and coke but by then it had expired! Oh well at least I got one free garlic bread and coke. can't complain!
Jabba the Hutt and ibfragalot,i,ll no doubt be -ve voted,responded to in the usual smart A way,but i care not.I gave you both a +ve vote,and thumbs up for you sprouting the truth.Some on here are as greedy and uncaring as the multi nationals they rort,and God help you if you say something.I agree Jabba,it is a low….JUST NOT NEW HERE.And Ibfrgalot,several on this site say things to people who just come here for some help,add the occasional deal found and ask opinions and then get hammered…showing the real people behind this site (and no,pretty it ISN,T).Johnno07,check out your votes compared to the others above you….most people using "ozbargain" come here for finance saving tips,bargains some may otherwise not know of and the odd great deal in areas unknown by us not in the loop of others (and to share same )…NOT to become petty criminals by KNOWINGLY committing fraud.
tl;dr
"KNOWINGLY committing fraud" ?!?!
parisienne… you silly, deprived individual.
no one is forcing the store/s to give you something for free.
its a coupon code they have supplied as a form of promotion and to induce sales, and somewhere along the way of implementing they have stuffed up its use. clearly they know they stuffed up… so they expired the code but honored it anyway out of goodwill.
for people that 'abused' the code, they aren't really being ethical… but to say it's FRAUD just highlights your downright ignorance.
Oh and P.S. - sorry in advance if English is new to you… but the commas instead of apostrophes at places in your rant make the message a little hard to grasp… proper punctuation/grammar can go a long way
No Chux I,M SORRY IN ADVANCE.The Oxford dictionary defines the noun "fraud" as "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain".
Pretty simple - they're a business not a charity. If they or their representative messed up, they pay up. If someone is seriously brogening up on the exploit then shame on them but what's with a couple of harmless garlic bread and drink? Overreacting much?
It's a good opportunity for the moral crusaders to, in their own minds, get a 'one up' on everyone. It's a pity most people dont care what they think.
Gotta remember that high horse needs to be rode on every now and then.
For all this stuff about "moral crusaders" and "lofty positions of purity"…
Is this what we call people who just do the right thing these days? Geeze.
The greed is just too strong in some people. They'll try to justify it in very creative ways, but we all know what's right and what's wrong deep down inside.
It's actually made me feel a bit sad that people can be that way :/ And that's not a troll or anything.
I do get the impression that perhaps some of these people are all just quite young. I might have been the same when I was younger too perhaps, doing things without thinking of the consequences for others.
Your standing up for a multi million dollar company that makes a 400-500% markup on their products because a few hundred people got a free garlic bread and coke? what about them ripping us off an extra 1-3 bucks just to have chicken on the pizza, when wholesale costs are the same as other goods?
I would understand and side with you if it was a single shop, owned and run by a family, but we are talking about a multi million dollar company, whos bottom line is money, not customer satisfaction.
What consequence?
Like seriously, can you justify $6 for a bottle of Pepsi/derivatives and garlic bread?
Have you spoke to a Yum! employee and how much they're getting an hour?
Guess not.
Like Copie, I wouldn't do it to a ma and pa shop but Yum! isn't precisely a struggling enterprise that can't afford to wear someone's messed up. Further to that, have anyone bagged Joey Lau out for creating a php page that circumvent some of the process in place to stop Kit Kat's being redeemed so quickly in the recent 7-Eleven promo? I afraid not. What's the difference between this and someone's elaborate setup to get more vouchers which effectively will get the end user a free Kit Kat?
Copie,couldn't have put it better myself.
Wow, the ignorance here is staggering.
Pizza Huts are franchises. Sometimes they are corporate, sometimes they are franchises run by families.
http://www.pizzahut.com.au/franchise
And the promo mistake? Not made by a "multiple million dollar company" - but by a data entry clerk who will cop it big time on Monday.
I'm not going to comment on this topic any more as clearly I'm talking with people that are either ten years old, have no conscience, or are simply trolling.
Well then respond to my previous post - how is this deal different from someone creating a php page that generates coupon yet no one had copped any flak over that? Further, a lot of the 7-Elevens are also franchised making your point a little moot.
Hmm…I must haz no conscience and it is the school holzzzz kiddies running amuck.
Welcome to the real world, where large corporations are controlled by babies (I use this term because they are much worse than those you are calling "young people").
By your logic then, whenever Coles or Woolworths run loss leaders in their weekly catalogues, they should be told and have the prices adjusted?
Its the exact same logic, for all we know it could of been a stealth promo, it certainly has people talking about it, and alot of people ordered something in addition to their free garlic bread and drink.
Wouldnt be the first time big companies have done something like this (cough cough megabuy)
Everyone here are 10 years old bro.
The white knighting in this thread is disturbing.
Ex-PizzaHut/Yum Employee here, based on their hourly pay rates I was getting- I approve of this "exploit".
you have been ozbargained!
WARNING to all
Please do not attack someone personally and reveal their identity. This is not a practice want to promote at Ozbargain.
You may disagree with their stance and opinions, but you are taking this too far. This now borders on Cyberbullying
Its a place to share bargains and in many cases we can have difference of opinion
Exactly. Whether it's ethically acceptable or not to exploit a loophole is debatable, but putting up the name of the guy who busted the deal, personally attacking him and linking to his pages are not. I'm glad that those posts have been removed by the mod, but I believe I saw a number of positive votes on those, which is rather sad.
when i went to the store to get my order that wasn't cancelled, the manager tried to charge me $6 for the garlic bread + coke even though my email clearly showed $5 (pizza mia) + $0. Which all in made it $11.
I wagged my finger, "aw hell no", and walked out.
how many orders did you make?
Two. One to see if the free voucher worked, one for my lunch.
Damn I wish I saw this 4 hours ago.
