**Admin please delete if this is not the right place to post. And I'm not sure about the expired date sorry!

Found on a Facebook group that Countdown is crediting your Onecard account with $15 voucher if you have any unclaimed E-stamps due to the lack of cutlery sets.

I have contacted the live chat personally and got my $15 voucher (I think we have over 30 stamps). According to the Facebook page looks you may contact them by email or phone as well, but it's a hit and miss depending which CS you get, some got replies and said it's in the T&Cs that the e-stamps can not be converted to a voucher.

Sorry not sure about the cut off date for this, best to contact Countdown asap, and not sure whether there is a minimum number of stamps in order to be eligible for this.

Good luck!

    Can you provide a link to the post or the name of the group?

  • Wakrak on 09/10/2022 - 22:45

    Cheapie got $45 for 39 e-stamps back in September.

    • Juju123 on 09/10/2022 - 22:52

      OK looks like you can get more than $15 then..

      • The Hound on 10/10/2022 - 11:30

        Not necessarily in one account 😁

    • Foodie on 10/10/2022 - 00:08

      That was only because i laid a complaint and mentioned the keyword "scam"

    Just got a $15 e-voucher applied to my account. I asked if that was the standard amount they had been advised to provide if requested, and I got their “end of conversation” copy & paste reply, then they ended the chat!

    Still, $15 is better than a whack of a stick. Thanks OP!

    • Wakrak on 09/10/2022 - 23:17

      Nice. How many e-stamps did you have?

  • JedEnzed on 09/10/2022 - 23:41

    21

    Also worth transferring stamps between cards within your family to try and get more than one voucher. We had 56 stamps on my wife's card and hadn't managed to get the items we wanted. Transferred 20 to my card and both requested the voucher and both got it.

    • Debzsea on 10/10/2022 - 07:55

      I have two cards but they are linked to the same account. Were your cards on two separate accounts or the same account please?

      • ajc28 on 10/10/2022 - 10:02

        Two separate accounts. Not sure how transferring works if on the same account sorry.

    How can I check how many stamps I have received? I can't see it in my countdown account.

  • CrashAndBurn on 10/10/2022 - 08:02

    Have just done this 5 mins ago and got $15.

  • Debs on 10/10/2022 - 08:06

    Thanks for the heads up. I got $15 credit. Initially she said no but I said my friend had received it. I feel this is fair as I do spend a lot of money there and am loyal to their brand.

  • Debzsea on 10/10/2022 - 08:22

    I think we've missed the boat, as the promotion to redeem these finished yesterday, so there's no record of the stamps in my account anymore

    • CrashAndBurn on 10/10/2022 - 08:40

      Was able to view it 30 mins ago and got $15

  • botlord on 10/10/2022 - 08:27

      Used the word scam, as mentioned by foodie above lol.

      For the inconvenience caused, I have loaded 2000 points to your Onecard account giving you a $15.00 e-voucher.

      • CarlLennyson on 10/10/2022 - 08:48

        I mentioned the word scam and the live chat person just disconnected.

          Try over the phone

  • Rubenite on 10/10/2022 - 08:41

    Success for me. Chatted to Geneva who transferred me to a Onecard agent who credited me $15 for my 24 unused stamps. Thanks OP!

  • c3rn on 10/10/2022 - 08:57

    Bugger, I gave mine to someone else because they ran out of stock…. had I known this I would have kept them and claimed the voucher instead

  • FredTap on 10/10/2022 - 09:06

    I did this last week with my 44 stamps and got the generic answer that the T&Cs say "while stocks last". I had to argue with them that this was not fair and stock ran out before the promotion even ended. They eventually gave me a $15 voucher.

  • Billyspleen75 on 10/10/2022 - 09:08

    We exchanged our stamps for something earlier so only have 7 left, is there any likelihood of swapping those for $$?

    • Wakrak on 10/10/2022 - 09:19

      Only way to know is to give it a go

    • Superpower21 on 10/10/2022 - 09:37

      I gave all my estamps away as I couldn't get what I wanted. Just talked to Tyra, she still gave me 418 points to make my balance 2000 points and I got a $15 voucher now. Worth a try but it took so long to get through online chat. Good luck.

  • NoMorePain on 10/10/2022 - 09:23

    Thanks for sharing this, this is absolutely the place to put it cos it's a big deal for me!!!!

  • zbrakk on 10/10/2022 - 09:39

  • Danger NZ on 10/10/2022 - 09:41

    I just did the chat thing and got $15 credit, thanks

  • NedFlanders on 10/10/2022 - 09:41

    I couldn't get it as I had only 2 points on my card, anyone short of a few stamps can have mine.

  • tilted on 10/10/2022 - 09:59

    I ended up emailing and got a clearly automated response alongside an offer of $15 credit, thanks.

  • sourcream on 10/10/2022 - 10:19

    I can't seem to view my balance, https://www.countdown.co.nz/shop/content/wiltshire says "This programme has ended. Thank you for collecting with us."

    I'm guessing it's over now?

    • deadfish on 10/10/2022 - 10:20

      weird, same for me, but 15 minutes ago I was able to see my balance

  • Whats The Dealio on 10/10/2022 - 10:21

    Just got $15 voucher through live chat then and got told the following:

    "We are currently offering a $15 voucher as a one-off compensation to customers with 20 estamps or more, where they have been unable to redeem their estamps as the Wiltshire cutlery is sold out"

    • sourcream on 10/10/2022 - 10:24

      Do you think this will be applied automatically, or will we need to ask?

  • Alley on 10/10/2022 - 10:31

    Sweet thanks just scored the voucher

  • Debzsea on 10/10/2022 - 10:32

    Just got back a successful response from my email sent earlier this morning. Yay (I had about 35 points)

    Thanks for posting OP.

    They said they will load the $15 voucher and it will show up within 12-24 hours, are people seeing the voucher instantly, or need to wait?
    Nevermind, took about 5-10 mins to show up

  • Kendo on 10/10/2022 - 11:02

    Cant see my stamps at https://www.countdown.co.nz/shop/content/wiltshire

    • memske on 10/10/2022 - 11:15

      They can see your stamps on the backend still, so give it a try!

  • SparksCollide on 10/10/2022 - 11:15

    I called them on Thursday to complain as earned 60 something stamps (and got transferred 40 too) that I could never use. The lady wasn’t going to give me anything and said all she could do was apologize until I suggested some sort of conversation to points and they have me 2000 for the $15 voucher. Now I feel jibbed haha

    • OmgItsHeaven on 10/10/2022 - 11:49

      "At the moment, we have been specifically instructed to add x1 $15 eVoucher regardless of how many eStamps are available on the card"

      What I was told to see if there is a corelation between amount of stamps and value of voucher. Yeah I kinda feel robbed as well.

  • fade on 10/10/2022 - 11:47

    Did the same "live chat via app", if you get lost in the Chat auto-responses say "can I talk to a person" and that should bounce you out and put you in the que to "connect with a person". I had heaps of stamps but suppose $15 is better than nothing.

  • El Cheapo on 10/10/2022 - 12:06

    Just got given the voucher without Live chat even checking the number of estamps I had so definitely worth a try

  • mrtron on 10/10/2022 - 12:16

    Thanks! I got told no "Promotion" had ended. I told them we had 60 odd stamps, and due to your poor planning of how much you gave away versus promotional products supplied, he gave me $15. I said is that all, I spent a lot of money to get the stamps (didn't say that we did a lot of the $1 chocolate bars = 1 stamp) and hes given $30 :P

  • diamorphine on 10/10/2022 - 12:43

    My chat went something like this:

    Me: I have stamps left but can't claim any sets :(
    Them: We apologize for that, we tried our best to stock the right amount. Anything else I can help you with?
    Me: Just a generic sorry? I shopped at countdown over new world to collect these stamps and now you're telling me they're OOS?
    Them: Yeah, super sorry about that. Anything else I can help you with?
    Me: What about others who received compensation? Why am I only receiving a worthless apology?
    Them: Social media is spreading false information and we're working hard to take that down. But we can offer you a $15 voucher for your time.
    Me: Tight

    FWIW - I had 19 stamps
    I guess the moral is to just be a little insistent?

    I just said this
    "I was told by a staff member at the store that because i cannot get any of the cutlery due to there being no stock anywhere that i can get a e-voucher as a replacement" - (This may or may not be a fabricated conversation at the store :P )
    1st person said "That is correct. I will need to transfer you to another representative for further assistance as I am not Onecard trained. Is that okay?"
    Got another person and they gave me a voucher which showed up in less than 1 min on my acc

    Cheers Peeps

    Another question though, with the one card points is there anyway to see expiry because every time i get more i feel like more disappear and i can see details of how much and when

    • spam on 10/10/2022 - 12:59

      Tried this, and they check my onecard number.

      " YOu only have 2 estamps. YOu will eligible for a cutlery when you have atleast 15 estamps.I am sorry I wont be able to add any voucher"

      • Huntakillaz on 10/10/2022 - 13:07

        lol I think 15 was thier lowest e-stamp item so you'd need 15 at least

        • spam on 10/10/2022 - 14:57

          Meh, gave it a try, good if I get it, all good if I don't considering I never really shop for this promotion (unlike the bricks), it's all good.

  • jakesternz on 10/10/2022 - 13:22

    Used the online chat this morning and was told "stamp redemptions ended at midnight last night" but when I pushed, they agreed to swap my 43 stamps for a $15 voucher. Better than some crappy knives and forks any day!!

  • samsambamalam on 10/10/2022 - 14:11

    Bugger, I got this response:

    "I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, the information about e-stamps to one card points is incorrect and I do apologise for the inconvenience this has caused. The Stamps was a promotion that started in July and as per our terms and conditions for the promotion, it was While Stocks Last. Unfortunately, we will not be replacing unredeemed stamps with vouchers. While you were collecting stamps, you were still collecting Onecard points as per usual. I do apologise again for the inconvenience. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team"

    It was worth a try!

              I don't think that it is fair that you have a promotion where if you shop at countdown as opposed to somewhere else you get a promo, but then you don't deliver on the promo.

    We understand it was frustrating not being able to redeem eStamps for cutlery sets as the stock was sold out or selling out fast in many of our stores as we near the end of the campaign. We do our best to estimate how many sets our customers may wish to collect, but this was an incredibly popular campaign.
