Grabbed a drink for Maccers this morning, checked the Monopoly ticket and it had "Instant Win - $100 retail gaming voucher" - I thought "wow" I can go buy a new game.

Nope. When scanned its a $100 voucher towards a gaming PC from "Allied Gaming".

1) Never heard of them

2) Thats two different things in my mind.... a gaming voucher vs a $$ off a PC.....

The only prizes worth using are the free food/drinks/etc ones. But yeah that is a bit deceptive.

Make a complaint to the Commerce Commission. They've likely got plenty of time to investigate as they don't seem to do much else.

Way I view it, is a voucher allows you to get something "free", and a coupon gives you a discount.

It's weird that they are offering this on what appears to be a highly niche product that very few people would be interested in. It would have far more value if it were a discount off something like a TV or iPhone.

You're confusing marketing with common sense.

There is a free chance card under the deals section of the app to get started, although when I tried to claim it nothing actually seemed to happen.

My wife got a 3 month subscription to Readly (online version of magazines) last time as an instant prize but we get McD's so infrequently we'd never build up enough properties etc.

If it's like last year, check out the terms of play in regards to signing all your contact info over to their partners and affiliates. Via any medium they see fit to be used as promotional contact etc.

That was enough to make me target free food ones only and not scan much.

Sure enough. Clause 135

Yall talking like it’s your first rodeo with marketing promos?

if you don’t want to participate, the choice is yours….

you can always give away the vouchers or coupons or prizes to someone else or just ignore it.
