Does anyone use it? Apparently they have heavily discounted gift vouchers for Thredbo. Looks to good to be true so I thought I would Suss if BW has seen them.

I looked on Groupon. No Thredbo, just a dodgy Australian Alpine Resorts offer.

 

Google groupon Jindabyne. It’s the third result for me.

Is this the link you are talking about?

http://www.groupon.com.au/deals/travelcity/Australian-Alpine-Resorts/716939392

I have used groupon for numerous times. Always been wary of using them for a holiday though.

2 things you need to watch for this are the following

-Voucher to put towards awesome snow package with accommodation, equipment and lift pass
-Voucher valid for a minimum of 2 adults, minimum of 3 nights’ accommodation; minimum of a 2-day Thredbo lift pass and a minimum of 2 days’ ski or snowboard hire (must be confirmed at time of booking)

So i interpret the above points to mean that you can’t JUST buy Thredbo lift tickets (for example, also note that even though the accom is Jindy you can’t ski Perisher - unless you buy separate lift tix)

You have to buy an entire package for two people. You are still getting a good deal if you take you own gear (and don’t use the rental gear) or if you were a couple and only one of you have a seasons pass. It still might mean you are ahead.

In short though I personally would not get it - but it doesn’t mean it is not right for you.

Yeah - Jindabyne, not “Thredbo”.

Here’s a Thredbo deal for the River Inn:

http://getaways.deals.com.au/either-2-nights-249-or-3-nights-375-at-river-inn-thredbo—-ski-in-ski-outjune/sept-deal-for-2-or-3-persons-in-a-room-together-in-a-king-or-tw

It’s a better deal than the one currently on offer for the 2013 Boardworld Shred.

I told Jez about this, so he should be letting everyone know soon.

River Inn are nuts if they let BW members buy that deal thru that site rather than letting us purchase it direct from them. They should match the offer for us.

It is of my understanding that companies have to give 50% commission off the sale advertised to the group sale site.

Hmm tempting.

Is there no more official BW deals coming that will beat that? I need to get rps to sort his leave out so I can lock it in.
