Anyone else get amazing offer from Ocado?

63 replies

Mmmmbrekkie · 13/03/2019 17:18

I’m doing my Ocado shop when an email pops up.

6 items for free. Minimum spend £40. Rowse honey, El Paso fajitas, kitchen roll, Coke Zero, John west no drain tuna x 3 and 6x mini magnums.

I’m naturally sceptical. I reach £40 spend and then add the six items plus codes (I needed 5 of the 6 items anyway!)

Sure enough all free. See attached. Remarkable deal! Anyone else?

We’ve had that a few times, it’s great!

Mmmmbrekkie · 13/03/2019 17:22

What items did you get for free?!

Total free amount is approaching £30!

I have never had this and my Ocado spend is verging on ridiculous...

Interested in this thread?

@mumsiedarlingrevolta

I’m a new customer!

(Or rather I input a new email address at my last shop to secure a new customer offer!)

Don’t shop at Ocado.

Woke wankers who are dicks to women.

CharDeeMacDennis · 13/03/2019 17:38

Aw, I used to get these deals, but not for a couple of years now Sad

I remember a breakfast offer, think it was:

Box of eggs
Bacon
Orange juice
Butter
Bread
Sausages

And a few other bits. All free.

Really good, as mostly things, as you say, you'd be buying anyway.

I got lots of these when I first started shopping with them, and I get them again if I defect to Tesco's again for a few months!

I pay for a mid weeks smart pass and although this continues during my defection months, I do click and collect for free at Tesco's and a few months of the main shop (along with year-round petrol) gets me plenty of Tesco points to exchange for dinner-out vouchers. When Ocado notice I've been a bit low-spendy the offers start to come in again .... win for me on the Tesco points and again on Ocado's vouchers to bribe me back Grin

Offer me a free jar of honey, and I don’t give a flying fu@k!

Ocado will only pay for those whose loyalty is in question or yet to be established. There's little point in throwing money at regular Ocado shoppers.

FurryDogMother · 13/03/2019 18:00

I'm a regular Ocado shopper, last month they sent me 1 x £15 voucher and 3 x £10 vouchers to be used for midweek shops (the final one arrives next Weds), and then yesterday I got an email linking to a load of products that could be ordered for half price. I now have 2 lovely bottles of vodka (1 Keepr's Apple & Honey Vodka £37.50, 1 Slingsby Vodka £33.00) coming on Sunday, saving over £30. I think that's quite a good deal!

SapatSea · 13/03/2019 18:06

I feel cheated. I've been with them for sixteen years and I've never had free stuff (except a £10 voucher for chocolates or wine on "our" anniversary) I rarely even get offered a free gift (midweek pass).

BibbityBobbityEars · 13/03/2019 18:18

I’ve never had anything like this, just the ‘anniversary’ wine and chocolates

AFistfulofDolores1 · 13/03/2019 19:12

How often do you shop, @FurryDogMother? Are you an Ocado Pass member? I got the half-price email but nothing else, and I'm trying to work out what the variable is that determined your offers.

sagradafamiliar · 13/03/2019 19:18

I've had a free 'freezer filler' combo before off them: fish fingers, garden peas ect. Not as good as yours though!

MadSweeney · 13/03/2019 19:27

I'm a star reviewer so get freebies usually once a month. I'm usually given 3 or 4 items with my shop to review. I've had everything from dog food to a £50 toothbrush.

I shall miss that aspect of it when I cancel my smart pass after the m&s move.

user1474894224 · 13/03/2019 19:33

No never. I get my £10 anniversary voucher. I want lots of freebies. Not fair....I'm a smartpass holder too.

FloofenHoofen · 13/03/2019 19:46

I've been with them for 6 years and they used to send me free stuff to review. They've also given me random vouchers for things too.

GreyRoses · 13/03/2019 19:48

I feel cheated. I have stuck with them and spend hundreds every month and I get nothing....

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 13/03/2019 19:56

Ocado I am getting crosser and crosser reading this....

And after the M&S shitstorm I shall be Wexiting i know a terrible waitrose/brexit attempt but am fuming

RogueV · 13/03/2019 20:00

I have had this before .... amounted to around £40! Not had it for a while now though.

I am however a star reviewer now and get loads of freebies to review!

MollyHuaCha · 13/03/2019 20:01

I'll be leaving too when they merge with M&S. I much prefer Waitrose groceries.

user1474894224 · 13/03/2019 23:08

Oooo, @IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece - What's the balsamic vinegar you buy? (We got a really nice one in the middle aisle at Aldi, when it ran out I replaced it with an expensive Ocado one but it's not as good - although is good enough I hide it in the utility room so the OH doesn't mix it into a salad dressing.)

@MadSweeney - how do you become one of those?

bsc · 13/03/2019 23:19

Also a wexiter. I'm sick of new customers getting v cheap smart pass deals, whereas people that have been with them for years get nothing tbh. They don't have a USP any longer, and most weeks I don't even place an order, so I'm completely wasting my money.

KenAdams · 13/03/2019 23:32

I've never had an anniversary gift!

I asked about being a star reviewer once and they got really funny with me for asking.
