Just got given this by my neighbour. Definitely works in Adelaide but is meant to be Australia wide. Print it out, cut off one of the strips and get your attendant at shell to scan it for 18c a litre off your fuel purchase.
TODAY ONLY!

EDIT: Confirmed working: NATIONALLY :)

EDIT: This has got to have cost someone their job. We have cost Coles thousands of dollars already :)

ENDED: I can't believe how MASSIVE this turned out to be, first time i've ever experienced a "viral" incident and the only time i've ever started one :D

Thanks everyone for the kudos etc. I should be able to walk into any pub in Australia now and say "I am Todes Angst and I need a beer!" and get one :)

    Fuel is still a F'n ripp off in Australia.

    • m0nkeycheese on 10/04/2013 - 23:11
      +3

      That's a common misconception. They don't make that much money at all. Ever seen a petrol station shut down on a seemingly busy road? I sure have, plenty! If it was that lucrative they would be poping up everywhere. They are actually only making 1.5c - 2c a litre after all the taxes and what not.

      • Captain Obvious on 11/04/2013 - 00:22

        It depends on who it's being suggested is making huge amounts of money. Surely companies such as BP, Shell ate are, the states selling the oil are, it's just the petrol station owners who only receive a very small percentage of the profits.

      • sn00ze on 11/04/2013 - 16:20

        the money is coming out of coles pockets, not the servo's

    • gooddealmate on 10/04/2013 - 23:16

      Not really mate, UK petrol costs 50% more and the average wage is probably 50% less there.

      • m0nkeycheese on 10/04/2013 - 23:23

        The ACCC estimates that over the last 9 years after deducting those expenses the wholesale sector made an average annual net profit across all fuel products of 1.5 cents per litre.

      I wish I went there; it wasn't too far out of my way when I drove home from the train station, but I wanted to stop by my house first and pick up an 8c off voucher in case I had issues with this one. There are two Coles Express stations closer to my home, and with only two thirds of my tiny 35l tank to fill, I didn't think it was worth risking the drive to Duncraig only to be knocked back.

        i finished work in the CBD then drove all the way to Duncraig. great drive, hardly any traffic. only had 2/5ths of a 55L tank to fill so a/c was on to burn off as much fuel as i could before i got there ;)

    Ironic that a servo guy calls a 18c voucher fraudulent while the aussie fuel price keeps rising, at the same time our dollar buys more US$, the price that oil is based in. That means our petrol price should have declined over the last few years instead it has risen. There's a fraud going on alright and a lot bigger than ozbargainers could do.

    Surprised after reading through all the comments how many OzBers blatantly lied to the cashier when asked where they got the voucher from. Obviously the voucher was not meant for generic use… more ethical questions raised.

    • 11112007 on 11/04/2013 - 08:43

      It's not hard for them to create coupons with unique barcodes….. don't know why they didn't do this.

    • pyramid on 11/04/2013 - 09:08
      +2

      I agree. I was one of them who filled my tank. But thinking if this is really a bargain or just misuse of voucher which was suppose to be used by 1/2 person only. This is gonna cost someone their job or money. Do we OZB community really want to use bargain(?) which can cost someone their job?

      edit: I just created separate topic in General section to get everyone's view on this.

    • tdw on 11/04/2013 - 09:14

      no one really knew where the voucher could have come from. not even the OP or his neighbour. it was just assumed it was from a coles online order.

      The attendant said there is going to be a massive investigation into these vouchers lol

      Yeah… 'Massive' meaning - looking up barcode creation date, then seeing how they screwed up and probably send a cease and desist letter to ozbargain, which will probably end up with no Coles deals being posted up… Not that there were any (apart from my groceries person's weekly specials)

    • daydream on 11/04/2013 - 09:50

      So they got you fill up at full price when you might not have otherwise. A win for Coles (as in the other cases of rejection once people filled up).

      Even if a company prevents vouchers here they could still up circulating elsewhere on the net. Better that they just learn from it and improve things rather than missing out on future traffic or having it affect their reputation with shoppers here.

      If it's still available today even though it says it expires on the 10th, then whoever screwed up at Coles HQ by not making the barcodes unique will have to get fired, then rehired just so they can have the satisfaction of firing them again.

      • daydream on 11/04/2013 - 09:52

    Voucher denied at Coles Express at Forest Road, Hurstville.
    Can any complaint be done because all others accept it?
    The attendant showed me a voucher that looked exactly the same as mine except printed 20% bigger and said mine was copied and he needed original voucher.

    • IceCreamBandit on 11/04/2013 - 10:25

      Did you try this today or yesterday? The voucher was only valid yesterday.

      Either way there is no point complaining…Coles would just say you weren't the original recipient or something like that.
