      Chrome was blocking the pop-up for me, might need to allow.

      • +1

        Says it starts 1/6 probably that’s why

        Thanks, opened in incognito and it went through.

    • It was being blocked by uBlock Origin for me. Page loaded, but the actual submission button was blocked.

    Here we go again.
    Still have the ones from last year as no venue will accept them even if participating

    • +1

      use at Dan Murphys?

    • I still have some too. And some which have random amounts remaining. They expire end of June I believe.

      Are pubs happy to do split card payments so I can use them up?? I didn’t have any trouble using them, even for food.

      • The 3 pubs I tried wouldn't do split payments which is a pain!

  • +1

    According to Wikipedia Liawenee is the coldest permanently-inhabited place in Australia (forecast to be 6C on Saturday)
    Can someone tell me how to get a chopper there?

    • Canberra is dropping down to 1 Friday, and Melbourne is dropping down to 6 this weekend . You don't need Wikipedia for that.

      • +1

        Well yes, okay, but then how would you know what the coldest place in Australia was. ;)

    • +1

      Android dev tools = fake GPS location

    • 2624 Smiggins Holes 3°

    • iOS users can use: https://geoport.me to change their device location

      • Is the card locked to Dan Murphy's near your physical (or spoofed) location?

        I'm using an app called Geranium which seems to be spoofing my location.

        • Dan Murphy's and Pubs in VIC and NSW only will work, based on last year's promotion

  • +1

    Adblockers need to be disabled or site whitelisted

    • did you get it to work?

      • chrome incognito worked

        • You can use Chrome devtools to spoof location too

  • When the temperature drops in the user’s location below 9 degrees Celsius (based on the user’s postcode and the temperature recorded on the Bureau of Meteorology website)

    Have to sign up with Southern Tasmanian postcode.

    • +1

      Fun fact: it’s often colder in parts of Northern Tasmania. Of course the promotion isn’t running here…some days you’re waiting for the temperature to get UP to 9°C!

      It is actually relatively easy to do that.

      When you attempt to make an in-person purchase at a merchant, the merchant's EFTPOS terminal will contact the card issuer (in this case, EML Payment Solutions) via an acquirer to see whether the purchase is authorised. Some information will be sent to the issuer, and the issuer can use this information to verify against known information for Dan Murphy's stores before it chooses to approve or decline the transaction. For example:

      • EML can check whether the terminal number (listed as the TERM ID on receipts) is one that is known to be a Dan Murphy's store physically located within NSW or VIC. Their in-store EFTPOS terminals use the following formula:

      W + <store number> + <POS (checkout) number>

      The store number is unique to each Dan Murphy's store. For example, if I purchase something from Dan Murphy's Melbourne QV (store number 3419) at checkout number 002, the EFTPOS terminal ID would be W3419002. For this to work, Dan Murphy's would need to work with EML beforehand to confirm the list of store numbers and checkout numbers that are permitted to work with this prepaid Mastercard gift card.

      • EML can also (or alternatively) check whether the reported merchant name and/or description contains "Dan Murphy's" and the store number.

      If you ever wondered how multi-retailer Visa/Mastercard/eftpos gift cards (e.g. TCN HOME gift cards, Ultimate Eats gift cards) work at participating retailers and not any random retailer, it is (at least partly) based on terminal IDs.

      Obviously, my assumption is that EML has actually gone to the effort to restrict the prepaid Mastercard gift card in this deal to only Dan Murphy's stores in NSW and VIC. There is a non-zero chance that EML has instead only restricted this prepaid Mastercard gift card to merchants using the MCC used by Dan Murphy's (which should be MCC 5921 - Package Stores, Beer, Wine, and Liquor). I guess there is only one way to find out!

    as if this wasnt enough info first name, last name, date of birth, email address, phone number, postcode but you also need to their home screen and turn on push notifications and location services for their device.

    yeah no thanks i could enter fake first and lastname with address, fake email but to then have to save to desktop and push and location… yeah nah thank. not worth them tracking my movements for a free can of piss.

    • +7

      dont forget "download the vault payments app" on top of all that and then unlock that with a code.. this sounds almost like those crypto scams asking u download vault / payment apps.. im gonna steer clear of this utter wank

      • +5

        Then they'll ask you for scans of your birth certificate to release the funds

      • +1

        F that

      Min in Stanthorpe (one of coldest places in Qld) was 7C today!
      It's only going to get colder❄

      Cradle Mt Tas was just @5C.

      But in the North - minimum around 23C & max 28🌞

    • You living in 1901 mate?

    • +10

      you might not get this guiness promotion, but looks like you got your whine

  • Does anyone knows if this works at The Cellar by Dan Murphy’s stores?

  • Saturday will be -4 with a max of 4 degrees. Perfect for a Guinness.

  • +10

    was a waste of time last year…even when it said it was the right temp, when you clicked on it, it would say it wasn't…..I never got to get the "right temperature" to qualify, no matter how many times I tried

  • whats the trick to get this?

  • Brb moving to Hellbourne

    • +4

      No amount of free booze is worth that.

  • Does anyone know if Dans sells other gift cards? Like woolworths?

    • Dan Murphy’s currently only sells Dan Murphy’s gift cards.

      I am fairly sure they used to sell WISH gift cards, but I have not seen a single WISH gift card stocked at the Dan Murphy’s stores I have visited in the last few years.

  • +5

    Very hard to use like last year

    • +1

      You don't have any Dan Murphy stores near you?

  • who got it to work last year? tried at location that said it was accepted, but was rejected. I didn't try dan murphy's though

    • +1

      I had no issue using it last year and 2022. There was a participating location near me and I just ordered food and did split payments (though they had card surcharge and I needed to calculate what amount they should put each time).

    • +1

      Everyone is saying just use them at Dan Murphy. Seems like the easy solution.

    • +1

      couldn't even get the "right temp" even when I got the notification….was NEVER the right temp lol

  • +4

    Looks like you'll need to be quick to claim as well. From the T's and C's:
    Claims are strictly limited to five hundred and twenty-five (525) claims on the First Day of Winter and the Winter Solstice and one hundred and forty (140) claims on each remaining day of the Promotional Period.

    • +1

      Thanks for letting me know. I'll just create 525 accounts using my boost Sims

  • -2

    Can you change it for something nicer than sump oil?

    • Its a $20 Digital Mastercard!
      Like with many other offers.
      Your choice what you buy at DM!

    Time to fire the chopper boys

  • Anyone have the postcode for Macquarie Island?

  • How do they come up with this stuff

  • +1

    All of Melbourne: now this is a competition for us.

  • Surely almost all areas will drop low 9°

  • +1

    Sounds like a great use case for my app!!

    https://geoport.me will get you to the coldest place… once we know where that is!

  • How would one go about raising and dropping the temperature repeatedly?

    • by using the aircon in your car

  • It’s currently 5deg at my place according to the BOM App. This website says it’s 11deg despite apparently using my location and BOM weather info…

  • This is for draft Guinness which is like cat piss compared to the cans. Draft Guiness in Australia is brewed under licence at Helensvale, whilst the cans come from St James's Gate. So much better - smoother and less bitter.

    • Even the nitro Guinness from PJ O'Brien's?

  • Weather is getting warmer. Coincidence? I think not.

    • Just one shower and it falls below 9. Look out after today's rain in VIC

  • +1

    Good luck to those who live in Darwin.

  • Are people getting any kind of acknowledgement when registering? - nothing for me so far

    • +1

      Promo starts 1st june

      • But the registration page says nothing about the promo commence date, signed up already. I am not getting the logic behind this promo. Plus there's no way to add the web app to home screen, usually it throws a popup to add their web app to home screen.

        By the looks of it, this promo's gonna wash away..

  • Huh. Guiness banking on global warming

  • +1

    The prompt came up for me but got the below message:
    NO FREE PINTS AVAILABLE
    You will soon receive an email explaining how to claim your free, soul-warming Guinness. In the meantime, if you want to find an eligible pub or Dan Murphy's near you, check out the
    Guinness Finder

    Am awaiting an email.

    • Promotion starts 9am…

      • Just got on at 9am, no free pint’s available

  • It's 7c here, claimed it.

    • Did you preregister? My prompt isn't coming up

      • I did pre-register

  • Just claimed mine even though it’s not 9am yet. Melbourne is cold as usual.

    • Did you get a text right away? I claimed it at 8am but haven’t received any text. Thanks

  • +1

    I’ve used GeoPort to chopper down to Melbourne.
    Claimed a free Guinness but also get no free pints. Let’s see what happens at 9am

  • Waiting till 9am now

    • +2
