Look at the $100 surprise one Coles shopper found on their receipt
- Replies 5
As the cost of living in Australia continues to be a struggle for many, it’s always good news when you can find unexpected savings.
One Coles shopper was stunned when they noticed something they weren’t expecting on their receipt after grocery shopping–a $100 discount!
The anonymous shopper posted the receipt on social media and asked if anyone knew what was going on.
‘(I) did a shop at Coles this morning and noticed it only charged my card $24 and not $124. Looked at the receipt and noticed a $100 discount for Flybuys offer. Anyone know what this is for?’ They said.
‘I haven’t activated anything, I receive all my offers as points rather than money off of a shop, so it seems very random.’
Other Coles shoppers quickly chipped into the conversation, with a few reporting that they had experienced the same thing.
One Coles shopper said: 'I got the same on my Coles online order.'
'Couldn’t work out why they only took $72 and then found on my receipt “Loyalty Discount”,' they added. 'This wasn’t a promotion or an offer, just automatically deducted $100 as a discount bonus.'
Another person speculated: ‘Happened to a ton of people. I think it's a glitch. None of them were owed money for their last four weeks of spending.’
‘It used the automatic money instead of points. Something went wrong when activating the offer,’ one shopper said.
The scenario also comes just weeks after Coles customers were urged to check their emails for a surprise $100 Coles gift voucher, which was sent out to selected Coles shoppers and Flybuys members. You can read more about this here.
