I need a drink, man…I need a holiday
I need some time off with the missus for a coupla days away
We buy 12 bottles…of this Jacobs Creek
And score a flight and a hotel for a 60 dollar fee

You buy 6 bottles…you get 1 night away
But best to hook up with a friend - it doubles up to a 2 night stay
Buy the drinks now…until December
Book by new years then you travel from February til November

Ten bucks per wine…and it tastes pretty good
Throw in a holiday…tastes ten times better than it should
Check out the terms…this is for real
Don't hold back cause you should know this aint my first Ozbargain deal

http://bonusmysteryflight.com.au/terms.php

OK - now that I've got that out of my system…oh, and this better not be a dupe, cause it took me ten minutes to come up with that.

  • 1 nights accommodation plus return flight for 1 person, or 2 nights plus return flights for 2 people (linked booking) in 3.5 to 4 star hotel
  • $30 booking fee applies per person
  • The offer commences on 1 November 2012 and closes on 30 November 2012
  • Each Mystery Trip must be booked by 31 December 2012 and must be taken between 1 February 2013 and 30 November 2013 (inclusive)
  • Travel ‘blackout’ periods applying including the periods between 13 March 2013 and 18 March 2013 (inclusive) and between 28 March 2013 and 2 April 2013 (inclusive)

I bought 2 x 6 packs for $120, so for me and the wife, it is a total of $180 for 12 bottles of wine plus 2 nights accommodation with return flights :)

We scored ours over a public holiday, and friends have theirs booked in the school holidays.

Took about 7 working days from first sending off for the deal to getting confirmation of our dates of departure.

The guys from the bottle shop said the Jacobs Creek rep advised the trips from Perth will be with Virgin to Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne…not sure about other cities.

The stickers may be in an envelope under the counter, although most of my friends have found stickered bottles.

Looks to be 5 different varieties of Cool Harvest:

http://www.jacobscreek.com.au/wines/cool-harvest

It's also advertised in the latest Cellarbrations catalogue…page 4:

http://images.lasoomedia1.com.au/imageicon/clb/prod/j0052293…

And no, this is not a competition - I have had 14 friends and family jump on this already, and got this response from the Jacob Creek reps:

"all participants that satisfy the entry conditions and have a valid claim will receive the offer as outlined"

          It;ll probably be a red eye. I think they generally are out of perth. Those are the cheap seats.

          One complaint - not against the deal, but against the rip off that is perth airport.

          Let's say I go off on my own for one night. It would be three days parking, maybe ywo.
          I will pay more to park at the fricking perth airport than for my ticket and accom.

          Surely even if you came home and poured them down the sink you would still be much better off then booking this normally? $180 for 2 people for 2 nights with return flights. Epic saving regardless of where your going, yeah?

      that's a standard consent in almost every big company marketing offer these days. hey, they need to get something in return as well for their marketing dollar. worst case, you just unsubscribe to the Spam..

      • gringo on 21/11/2012 - 17:52

        mmh well you are giving them some pretty premium info as a part of this offer.

        More likely would actually be that you get physical mail/calls/spam for life from companies interested in wine drinkers. I wouldn't bet on being able to subscribe from such either.

        Put it this way - they didn't say they value your privacy, so you shouldn't expect them to.

    • Pootie Tang on 21/11/2012 - 20:04

      They will sell your info to debt collectors and other companies in simple terms. Some big massive pool of data companies buy into to update their records (debt collectors) and promote products (brands + promos).

      Cracking deal though

      You choose 3 different departure dates and they allocate you one, and no, you don't get FF points:

      "The Claimant may not accrue frequent flyer points."

      • colspooners on 21/11/2012 - 17:38

        Hi Kirt do you know if they choose the 3 date options or do we choose them? Also is the departure city nominated by us or them? And once they have confirmed the date is it right that they dont tell you where you are going until 3 days before departure? Sorry for all the questions but I got burnt with one of these style promos years ago when I was living in the UK and got offered a flight from Manchester when I was in London…

        • kirt on 21/11/2012 - 17:42
          +3

          do you know if they choose the 3 date options or do we choose them

          You nominate the 3 dates, then they allocate you one of them. We got our third choice (all 3 of our choices were public holidays), but most of my friends got their first or second choices.

          is the departure city nominated by us or them

          You nominate it…there were about 10 to choose from.

          once they have confirmed the date is it right that they dont tell you where you are going until 3 days before departure

          Yep, although you might be able to work out the destination using the dates and times they give you ;)

      Initially I was told you both have to go to that link and put in each others claim number, but we found out that only 1 of us had to do that (there is a space to input a second claim number that then links the 2 together).

      I was told differently, and so far none of my fiends flight times fit in with anything except for Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne, so it appears to be correct.

      Saying that, I'd love to go back to Exmouth ;)

        many thanks to kirt.

        just wondering.

        what is the def of 'household' for claim purposes (t&c.11 - Where two (2) members of the same household wish to redeem their Mystery Trip, both members may book their Mystery Trips simultaneously in order that they will both be on the same flight and they will receive one (1) night of accommodation each, being two (2) nights in total if the two (2) members of the same household share a room.)

        if the +1 has a different address, is this going to be a problem during the booking/linking process for the 2 nights? or is the linking of the claim numbers independent of address supplied at claim time?

        • kirt on 21/11/2012 - 19:25

          the linking of the claim numbers independent of address supplied at claim time?

          I am certain it is this - you link the booking via claim numbers, but to confirm, just send them an email:

          [email protected]

          I've sent them about 20 emails, and they are very quick to respond ;)

The destination will be notified to the winner no more than three (3) days prior to the Claimant's departure date;

    Most likely departure will be from a major city to a regional centre. This way accommodation costs will be kept to a minimum. Might even have to go on a propeller aircraft.

          You need to send in 6 stickers per person…our local had unmarked bottles with the stickers in an envelope behind the counter, but most of my other friends bought bottles with the stickers on them, and peeled them off and sent them in.

        Walked back and he did it in 2 transactions!

    I've cleared out Dan Murphys Southern River WA, and had to get one more bottle to get my dozen from Dan Murphys Kelmscott WA. There's three more bottles at Kelmscott as of 20 mins ago :)
