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.
What is the right one?
Did it just finish? Website is now showing:
This campaign is currently closed or there are no incentives remaining.
I claimed one at about 9pm last night without issue
I did last night around 8:30 (right before my comment), so maybe we were the last ones
They might still accept the original code but I’m not sure if they even fixed them to be unique when the website was updated, I’m not up to date and there’s a lot of comments to read here lol
return and earn your finished cans for profit ++
Tried just now in store. Poor guy said a few people have come in and it just won't work at his store. Said another local store worked.
We tried barcode scan 3x. Manual input of the number. Waiting until last minute of 5 mins and rescan and reenter. Nothing worked. Absolute shit house promotion
Still working.
600000072551 Stocard is still working
How does this work?
Still accepted today.
The new code is like a misleading code really.
Tried today and it took forever for barcode to come up. When it finally did the guy at the counter scanned it and said not to worry if it worked or not as he had scanned it, didn't wait to see if it worked and took off.
This my second lot as I redeemed it during the week and got an email apologising for the failure and sending me a new code link
1 per customer lad
10 mins ago worked for a guy in front of me, did not work for me. Same store, same everything…
There might be a cool down. I noticed that if you redeem in one transaction it goes through no problem. There an issue if you do back to back transaction with separate transaction.
Did you have the same code?
I can confirm Waurn Ponds, Geelong refused to accept the offer - Cashier told me the bar code does not work, he didn’t even try to look at it on my phone just flat out said the till does not accept it - there was a few x4 packs in store too.
He’s got nothing to lose so not sure why he’s being difficult about it. Some work, some don’t. Either way staff should have enough experience with this by now. Store near me has a code at the desk they scan every time someone brings a 4 pack to the counter.
Anyone tried the new code in one of the other states?
Worked in Melb today 👍
Cheers, but i meant a non eastern state.
Collected at LL Lane Cove NSW this afternoon using the replacement code that Kirin sent.
Website doesnt load…?
I can’t load the barcode from the claim page.
noticed my local restocked the kirin's. redeemed using the new link, code 9313938903376 and scored another pack.
I have some codes if any wants them PM me.
What's the point? Codes are generic.
It is up to stock availability and attendant really.
I’ll take some codes.
It still works. Just claimed two.
Did you use the OG code or the barcode that was emailed to you?
Custom Stocard from the original barcode (without the hidden 8)
These were my absolute favourite when I was living in Japan, but I'm disappointed that ACT is not included…
Just FYI. It works in ACT.
Just claimed a pack with the re-sent barcode. Also got a 10pk of Neds 6% Whiskey&Soda $20 (5495793) if anyone's interested trying to chase that down at other stores
Tried 3 different stores near Box Hill but all of them out of stock. Am I just having bad luck or is this normal?
Can confirm got it to work at 3 different stores this afternoon. Will try again tomorrow.
Did you use the old or new barcode?
New barcode worked fine for me
New one
Did you just scanned the code or how did staff react ?
Just scanned it. There were two stores that flat out refused yesterday while trying but 2 others worked
Tried two stores today and neither had any stock, despite the website showing availability
Kirin have emailed me saying sorry for a bad promotion they are giving me 25 dollar prepaid debit card for the troubles.
Does this mean the code is going to die now today? I used it today to get a pack
Oh nice
Just received this:
Hello,
We need to say sorry! As much as we really wanted to make sure your first time trying Kirin Hyoketsu was amazing, we have to admit we didn’t live up to that promise.
We hope you’re able to forgive us for the inconvenience we may have caused you, and to show how much we value your patience, we’ll be sending you a $25 digital Mastercard™ to spend.
Please keep an eye out for an SMS to the mobile number you registered with on how to redeem this gift, this can take up to 2 weeks.
Kanpai,
The Hyoketsu Crew
did you contact their customer service?
I did, due to Liquorland staff stuffing up and letting my second code expire (second as in, the make-up one Kirin had sent me, if that makes sense) so I could not redeem it
I got the same. I did contact them over the stuff up
Same here. I contacted them too
Got it also. I did contact them.
It can be spent almost anyway now.
this tale just keeps getting better.
how long does it take to get the sms after you receive the email?
I'm still waiting……so much for "up to 2 weeks"
So after the 2 free 4 packs they now wanna buy me dinner… Does that mean I should put out 😅😆
Just redeemed tonight without any issue at Kings Cross.
wtf i just got $125 for free
How did you get 125 ?
got the emails
did you complain?>
Did anyone received the actual $25 voucher or just the initial email saying they will get it?
I got the email as well, but no voucher has come
Still nothing for me. Looks like they said it, but never sent it.
no voucher to me either
How long did it take for customer support to reply to your complaint?
About 10 days
just checking it was [email protected] that you contacted? this link https://www.kirinhyoketsugiveaway.com.au/contact-us
Yep! I filled in the form on the website
Anyone claim today? Is the code dead ?
Still works
Take note this is how you don't do a promotion
They should just co-operate with flybuys to issue a freebie, much easier.
Liquorland POS isn't the same as Coles.
There're freebies deals for Coles Express.
Stocard version of old barcode now doesn't work. New email barcode working.
Interesting, thought they would never cancel it.
So the ‘updated’ code they emailed on 10 Nov (which previously wasn’t working) is the one that still works?
Yes, the updated code works although on my receipt says "price override by supplier" so your mileage may vary.
Hmm interesting. Did the staff override it or was it automatic?
If anyone else tries the custom stocard or the new barcode please report back.
Can confirm the 10 Nov barcode works. Just redeemed successfully in NSW, staff did not need to override anything.
Biggest problem is stock. First two stores didn’t have any (I suspect they’ve hidden it or claimed it all for themselves) and got lucky at the third one.
Which barcode is this? Can you please share number? Thanks
9313938903376
Last day Friday 24th. The attendant may ask to view your offer screen and press Redeem button now.
Thanks mate. Actually saw the email saying last day was 1 December. This promo is so cooked. I don't understand how it. Can be such a fail
@cheapass88: maybe the people behind this promo really love the product. As in, they drink it all the time and were drunk when they set up the promo.
Can confirm stocard didnt work, didnt read earlier comments to try nov 10 barcode
Back in stock at my local Liquorland, claimed today with no issues.
Got another 4 pack today. Best (worst) promo ever
10th Nov Code worked for me that was provided thanks mate. Kirin had sent me two dodgy codes
Shame the promo is now over. That was the best but worst run promo I've ever seen in my life. All I know is I'll never buy them for 25 dollars that's for sure.
Yep they are insanely expensive for just 4 cans. Quite refreshing and enjoyable, although they give me acid reflux if I have more than two of them.
Yeah same lol
Yeah it's the awful RTD tax that was brought in to stop children drinking. Meanwhile, they can buy a bottle of spirits and mix their own for much cheaper and get even more wasted defeating the entire purpose of their fake tax
Anybody knows when's the last day to redeem this?
T&Cs say before 1 December, so probably tomorrow or Friday
Is the code still working?
Yep just got one 30s ago
Cose still working as of now
Thank you for update!
Still working fam?

My Victorian one didn’t work either. The cashier had to override.
