will this coupon work? the fine print says no copies, and you must redeem it. every coupon from here will have the same barcode and number .... be a bummer to fill up on sunday if the price is up and find the coupon is not valid lol.

perhaps it logs the individual IP addresses and issues a different voucher number to each IP?

My voucher code ends in 90013. Is everybody else the same?

The coupon is on the coles site so it is safe to assume it is the same barcode. The code would also have to be the same so they can scan it into the register for the discount to be applied. Just like all coke cans have the same barcode, no matter where you buy.

yeah actually you'd be right, JMO.

So you just bring in the coupon and they scan it in, so it must be the same code for it to come up in their system.

Anyway I think the no copies thing won't be a problem as it is specifically set up for you to print it out and take it in.

while the vouchers are collected at the servo, they won't be scanning them. Each register operator has a "discount card" that they scan to give you the discount. Vouchers and "discount card" will be destroyed on monday.


nice having someone in the family who works at a servo and brings the paperwork home to have a read.

not a bad offer since you can use it in conjuction with thier normal 4 cent shopping vouchers also and then the extra 2 cents for spending in store.$74 on the pump or so ending up being $65 with 2 ice breaks @ $4.90

Rounding to nearest dollar used
