Needs valid email and phone
Yes, they have patched it. Linked mobile to account which has to be verified so can't be reused. Need unique email id + Mobile.
Mobile number verification maybe?
it worked. typing in the verification code was a pain…
how’d you get it to work?
use a second device to the sms code. then just copy it in without leaving the app
Gave up after 5th sms.
Yup. First mobile code didn't work. Resent code (came from different source) and that worked.
Worked a treat, thanks
Excellent. Thank you very much, OP.
Fail for me:

Oh no, PHP error, must be a coincidence its on Ozbargain
I don’t know who said all publicity is good publicity, but they clearly didn’t know about OzBargain
database error
Oh no! Sorry guys! Hopefully it's back up tomorrow
I just hope you got your $5 before SHTF
Its back up - redeemed gift card. Thanks.
PHP error
Getting “A PHP error was encountered” message on the mobile browser when clicking on the “Redeem” button in the SnackAttack app after successfully creating a new account and verifying the PIN codes that were sent to both my email and mobile.
Anyone else have any luck?
This is a kinda scam. I remembered I got a free movie ticket, and suddenly it disappeared from my account the next week when I was about to use it.
If u screenshot it, could have used it later
It should've went to your email
Not a scam!
Got mine without any problem.
Why didn't you immediately download & save voucher?
A basic precaution with all promotions.
I screenshot that and used it like 6-7 months later
I got a free movie ticket, and suddenly it disappeared
If you qualified for Hoyts voucher, it would have been sent to the email address you supplied.
Just checked my old SnackBack email:
Subject: Here’s your free HOYTS ticket from SnackBack
"Here’s your HOYTS ticket attached.
Grab yourself a round of your favourite movie treats, then sit back and enjoy!
Click the link below to find your FREE movie ticket at HOYTS Cinemas.
[GET YOUR TICKET]"4 months later, 26/11 Link still goes through to my free Hoyts ticket pdf!
So much for "suddenly it disappeared"!This is a kinda scam
Absolutely wrong😜
Received the Hoyts movie voucher👍
Received this $5 GIFT CARD👍
Rubbish doesn’t work!

Error when redeeming
Why the upvote then?
I think they’re saying that they got the $5 gift card no probs, but then they went to Woolies or Coles and found out there’s nothing to buy for $5 or less
might've smashed the like button based on the title
I’m no expert, but it seems the error is on line number 6. Pretty easy to count down from the top to get this fixed, I’m sure
Tell us how please?
My first four words have a clue, and it’s all downhill from there…
Using an RX modulator, you might be able to conduct a mainframe cell direct and hack the uplink to the download. With the right computer algorithms, you can count down to get this fixed.
Not everyone is a hacker and I don’t want to become one for $5. How much time more to waste to get $5? I have done a couple of Raiz surveys and get $10 in the same time I wasted for this!
it costs more than $5 to become a hacker
+Some jail time, or pray that the Ecuadorians will let you into their embassy before your arrest warrant is executed.
@Thrifty Dan: "Raiz users who have completed surveys have earned an average of $7.50 per month in the past year."
Is it what you got?
@bcYield: I got about $70 last month. I believe the average $7.50 shows just that some people signed up for that but do not use it properly.
Looking up in the activity within the app it’s saying now I have claimed the gift card, which is not true!
Why won’t this work…
It’s late. Revoked.
Wants to make sure your username checks out.
Some light hearted Aussie sarcasm mate
Somebody once said “Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.” I don’t get it 🤷🏻♀️
$5 enough to buy one prime energy drink :)
Yes, would be nice if it would actually work!
Managed to get a Coles gift card after a few goes. Thanks OP!
Lies!
What why would I lie about this…?
Not working
Takes me to dead link.
Fixed remove downvote
Database error
Fixed, remove downvote
This app is making me thirsty,,,
If you suck hard enough you might get something out of it
I can only download the apps if they store the data in Australia, on australia soil, by australia company and did not use WIFI
I think I know what you mean. I always thank the traditional owners of the App Store before I start mindlessly tapping on stuff
Getting the same PHP Error was encountered this morning :(
PHP error.
I like the idea of a snack back app tho. I like snacks. I like getting things back. In theory I like snack back.
How much is a can or bottle of Coke these days ? 🤔

I get the same error every time. I'll keep trying until the end of 31st of March.
It's working for me now. I have a Woolworths $5 code. I'll try and use it today. I'll have to edit my app review too..
Has the offer actually expired, or is it just an error? I still have the "Redeem Now" option but it redirects me to the PHP error page
The app shows the expiration at 31st of March. Maybe this is a scammy app vacuuming up free personal information..
Pepsico ANZ just sent me an email:-
Claim your offer quickly!
There’s an incredible offer sitting in your SnackBack account that’s about to expire.
Jump onto the SnackBack App and redeem now.
Masterful trolling 😂
The image uploaded by OP shows an expiry date of 31 March.
But when I go to the Android store, the same image there now has an expiry date of 28 March. Looks like they hit their limit and cut the promo short.
Mine still says Mar 31, still get the PHP error tho.
In Google Play Store the image shows Feb 28, for me anyway
Just signed up and according to the t&c's, promotion ended on the 25th March.
I guess Pepsi didn't win the Cola War.
Asked where credit is via return sms when they sent code
Also sent email
[email protected]
Only $5 but Financial Ombudsmen complaint cost them hundreds in dispute. March 31 expiry on page in writing take snapshot. Also this chat is great evidence. Hey I am an Ozbargains guy $5 goes a long way.
Bit of a Karen move for a $5 gift card.
Your complaint will likely be thrown out as neither PepsiCo nor Coles Group are members of the financial ombudsman’s scheme (AFCA).
sent email
[email protected]Pointless!
You realise that's to Coles gift card support, only if you have problem using their gift card.
Which you don't have!Coles has nothing to do with this promotion, apart from supplying (selling) their gift cards to promoter.
March 31 expiry on page in writing take snapshot.
Again Pointless!
As stated in this offer's
T&C: Offer may be varied or withdrawn at any time at our discretion.As in almost all Deals / Promotions, the offer can be changed, or cancelled.
But you probably have seen plenty of offers changed or cancelled since you joined in 2007!! So should know that.
Only $5 but Financial Ombudsmen complaint cost them hundreds in dispute.
Pointless again - your complaint will be quickly rejected! No cost to promoter!
As offer T&C clearly state it can be "varied or withdrawn at any time at our discretion".
Hey I am an Ozbargains guy $5 goes a long way.
Pity you value your own time & effort so lowly😜 Guess you know that.
Time to move on to next Deal💡
If you're keen to track it down - mobilegiftcardwallet.com appears to be the website with the issue, not Coles
There are some contact details visible on Google Cache https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:7D65YX…
As you seem like a motivated individual, have at it, and let us know how it goes.
Waste of time complaining…
Just had to wait until fault fixed with mobilegiftcardwallet.com
Received Gift Card👍Complaints sent to multiple emails got my $5
Doesn't work…. but I'm not gonna bother chasing up considering the previous hoyts deal they had :)
Received this gift card now
Received the Hoyts ticket from last Deal
Working now guys, they fixed it
Yep, can confirm, working also.
Works now!!! Just got it! Does it mean I have to use the GC until 31.3.? Can I buy anything with it at coles/ Woolworths?
Idk about Coles, but woolworths don't expire. Standard exclusions for gift card use apply - can't buy gift card with gift card etc
Learnt from previous SnackBack Hoyts voucher promo - it's best to be quick to redeem offer.
Created new account about 1hr after Deal posted.
People were able to redeem before thatSnackBack also learnt from that promo: verification of email & mobile required. But if you left SnackBack app for those - new verification code required.
But by the time that was completed - redeem went to mobilegiftcardwallet.com
Only received a database error😢Possibly Ozbargained
- offer was for 10000, very unlikely all gone!
- too many suddenly redeeming, site failed?
- something else?Could be fixed - try
again laterNOW!RECEIVED GIFT CARD!
Took a screenshot.
Stored in Google Wallet.There is no expiry date on the gift cards in my wallet after redeeming in the app. How long are they valid?
Woolworths gift cards don't expire

Here we go again.
I wonder if this time they did something to prevent us from registering again and again, and again, and again…
