Giveaway for Kirin Hyoketsu 4 packs from liquorland. Limited to 20,000. Haven't received the confirmation yet but it does say up to 2 days.
Must be trying to compete with Suntory 196 dominance here.
EDITS: Have now received the confirmation, took about 12 mins to come through.
Also, I haven't redeemed yet but users are commenting that getting the attendant to type in the barcode instead of scanning is fixing redemption issues.
How did you end up having the staff dislike you, smh
When I did it the first time the guy was very surprised it worked.
I forgot what birthday I put when I registered. Does it matter when I redeem it at the shop?
I never even registered and just got the barcode from comments.
It is up to stock availability and the attendant really.
No it doesn't matter, just to ensure you're over 18 and allowed on the site
your going to drink 88 cans and not be sick of it?
or must have a lot of people to share with?
I work in sales, so im out on the road all day. And I do like to drink, great to keep a stash for going away camping etc.
Damn you committed lol. Might see if I sweep 4 stores before a patch.
just received the following email…
We're Sorry! There's a technical difficulty with your Kirin Hyoketsu 4-Pack redemption barcode.
…
We're working with the Liquorland team to get you sorted with a new barcode ASAP, so you’re able to head on down to your local Liquorland & redeem a Kirin Hyoketsu Lemon 4-Pack to share with your friends.Keep an eye on your inbox for a new redemption link that we’ll send your way next week.
sounds like round 2 (or should i say round x where x > 1?) is coming soon ladies and gents.
I knew I should have put more of a effort in today
Crazy that they can't work out the issue with the redemption, yet OzBargain worked it out within a few hours of the deal being posted. Hopefully the redemption code is not unique again 😂
Just walked to my local liquorland and claimed a pack before they closed. I've only manage 4 total, as many stores out of stock or only stocking 10 packs.
Staff tonight already knew they were free and had the code at the till, didn't need to scan at all.
I went into my local store in Melbourne and they told me it was a scam and people have tried to redeem it in the past couple of days too? so lost haha
It made your account.
When I used the barcode it didn't work but they gave me the 4 pack anyway after checking the details.
I got an email this arvo saying: "We're Sorry! There's a technical difficulty with your Kirin Hyoketsu 4-Pack redemption barcode". They go on to say that they will send a new redemption code next week.
Seems like they've stocked up in many stores in melb today. But online it says no stock.
Just rock up to a store and ask for the drink. They know it’s free!! (:
ooh new code just blasted out
new barcode: 9313938903376
Now to see if it is unique or the same for everyone
Lmao, summer is looking good 😂
@meooow: I mean it's okay, would I be paying the price they're asking for a 4/10 pack certainly not, but if it was in an esky at a party I'd definitely go for it over quite a lot of things (not -196 or even hard solo though lol)
Just got my new code today after I complained that my original code did not work. Will try again after work.
Please let us know how you go..
New code worked last night! The 4 cans were delicious!
I got a new code but didn’t complain. I also had redeemed already. Going to try today.
Anyone know if the old code has been deactivated? Will make a new barcode anyway but just curious
Can anyone else confirm the new barcode is the same for all?
Got my new email but I can’t see a redeem button. Anyone else got that issue?
I can see the Redeem button - perhaps you're in dark mode and it's hidden?
Nit working on my iPad or my laptop. I’ve sent it to my other half to che k with his Mac.
Thanks for the help.
To give update. The redeem button didn’t show up but if you hovered over the appropriate area you could see the URL link. Went to the store pressed the area and the bar code came up but the guy couldn’t get it to work either by reading it or manually. The code did go beep. He sorted it so the price was $0. Good outcome but it seems they still haven’t quite got everything correct.
Anyone redeemed with new code ?
Redeemed for a second time with the new code.
Scanning didn't work again, she had to input the code manually like the first time.
Had me a bit worried it wouldn't work after the scan didn't go through but she was persistent - wanted to see if she would be able to double dip herself as well.
Is it same code as previous poster ?
No idea, never looked very close at either code
Manual entry did not work either
New code doesn’t work by both scanning and manual entry at the store.
Then the redeem link goes to 404 error page when you try to click the email link again. One time redemption.
Still managed to get the second free 4 pack as the manager did a price override… Since Kirin asked so nicely to provide feedback I decided to let them know their second attempt was also an "epic fail" 😆 Here's to the third free 4 pack 🥂
Different barcode number. Mine was 9313938903376
First one was the same as yours. 600000072551
New code was the same as me
Worker scanned and basically waved it off and said they are all mine and he will figure out the backend stuff later as he already encounted this the freebie today
Cheers. The new one off the website didnt work but the 600 one worked fine today at a nsw liquorland.
Nah new code didn't work for me scan and manual
So is the old code still working? I bet it does
The custom Stocard barcode i'm talking about
I tired it. Didn't with either.
Manager did price override at my store just now. She made sure I clicked on "redeemed" to ensure I couldn't use it again. It's so nice when you get a manager like this one who does what she can to maintain the positive customer experience.
My barcode was (also) 9313938903376
yes new barcode 9313938903376 - couple stores i went to nr here, knew of the offer (obv, now it's not new, and they'd have heard all sorts about it from internal and custs, no doubt) .. were quite willing to scan the barcode, which didnt work, and neither did manual entry. They werent able/willing to go any further - 1 guy said "this doesnt look like the same barcode we had last wk" .. so i showed him the "we're sorry!" mail from Wed and the new one from today … he still wouldnt proceed.
Boo.. they arent doing well with processes on this at all!
Yeah did not work and not willing to do price overrun or anything. Cant blame them. Very poor promotion
yeah - some sort of breakdown or tech glitch causing troubles for LL staff, kirin too, and us poor punters chasin' freebies 😁
Mine didn't work.
Code was 9313938903376
I provided appropriate feedback to the promotion. Let's see what they say.
First response:
Hi xxxx
Thank you for your email.
We are sorry to hear you are experiencing technical difficulties with your barcode. We are investigating this will get back to you as soon as possible.
Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
Kanpai,
The Hyoketsu Crew
Did ya ever hear back from them, re this email? I didn't. Not too bothered, but seems another low point in the handling.
No reply to me yet. Both my local stores haven't had any stock either.
Not unique as mine is the same and so is my husband's. A very poorly run promotion but we still did manage to get 8 free cans out it so that's okay I guess
No one tried the old custom barcode? Suspect it still works..
Why don't you try it? You've asked like 4 times if someone else has tried it
Haven’t had time yet! would have thought someone has by now
Old code works still, entered manually no issues
No stock in Redcliffes 3 stores.
Staff all over it now. Probably cause of me. No issue redeeming again. Just told them I got reissued hence why I am back. They were happy to give me 3 packs.
A staff at my local Gold Coast Liquorland said they're not honouring them anymore because of some technical reason.. I think she's talking BS so I will go to another store tomorrow and try redeem it
I think there is still a technical issue for some codes. We experienced it. If you are lucky you will find someone who is willing to do a work around but they may be calling this in again because they still can’t get all the codes to read properly.
My husband and I (whose code is the same btw - so not unique again) just tried to redeem my husband's, the cashier tried to scan it and it didn't work, tried to type it manually and it didn't work, in the end he just let us grab the cans and go as he couldn't be bothered. A frustrating promo for sure
Wow that's lucky as Kirin is fronting the bill
Which one? I got some from Burleigh today, code didn’t work but he did a price override.
Which store on the GC? Going to try tomorrow.
Burleigh stocklands did price override for me.
Code didn't work after getting the email with the new one clicked the link and actived, promo appeared on the screen but was not discounting the drinks. Waste of time
Same, new code did not scan.
just got mine and they asked to redeem the barcode in front of them
Just picked up my second box with the new code.
Old bacode (minus the hidden 8) still works. Stores have been getting hit pretty hard they don’t even bother asking for barcode as they already have one at their desk. Staff have been claiming too lol.
I wanna go to where you are.
Wish i saw your comment before i tried. New bar code from today email did not work at all. Even with manually entering, srill doesn't work. Fk waste my trip there for nothing
There is a “didn’t work” link to report it. They might send you another one.
Good tip 👍, will try that
where is that ?
@coolc: Under the instructions
“If you have any issues this time around, please let us know by contacting us here.”
me too, just tried
As a side issue what did people think of it? I think it is lacking a little in flavour but I think it would go well with a fruit punch.
Have them super cold like 30 mins in freezer and its really good. After taste as a hint solo but it's really watered down overall. This is why these drinks in Japan are the foreigner killer because it's goes down like water but is still 6% content.
I’ve found similar with Muscato. Just one more little drink because it is so delicious and that has a similar alcohol level. I went to the Innocent Bystander Barrel Haul sale and they were selling the 750 ml bottles for five dollars. That was a gooood Summer.
Just got 2 more packs today. Still working
Which barcode did you use?
9313938903376 worked on scan
Tried this instore with them manually entering it no luck, think I'll just give up 😅
This is the one tried to use yesterday, did not scan or recognised when key in
Enjoying this right now. Will be purchasing this in the future for sure…a new favourite.
Second attempt with their second sent out code. Still not working. Poo poo.
Strange as @Charlesgave above said that new code was working??
Meanwhile old custom barcode 600000072551 still worked for me yesterday..
tried it todaay, failed, even failed when using the baracode number
wish i could review my thumbs up to a thumbs down
sent a report of it not working
Did you try Stocard 600000072551?
Seems to be the only one that's working
Can confirm this still works as of 5 minutes ago.
Barcode does not work.
The barcodes not working could be a NSW thing… mine had to be overridden by the cashier
It does work. You’re just using the wrong one.
My barcode didn’t work in VIC.

Pros are the minority. Still working.
I won't grab one again tomorrow. Staff dislike me and may already reject some manual input requests. No wonder still some in stock.
