Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[michaelm]

So you're okay if a member on here misses out on a deal because you have a 1 in 276 chance of a referral?

Just to be clear - what's the difference between the people here and the people on other websites? If someone is getting a deal, someone is getting a deal. What makes people on this website any more entitled to that deal than other people? Is the point of a limited deal not that it is indeed, limited, and that its first in best dressed? why should deals be hoarded for you, or any other particular person, rather than not just the first people who are interested and wish to take advantage of it?

I understand what you mean. Nevertheless, this is the only place where some members put a lot of individual effort like decoding secret offers, etc. This is adding a lot of value to me and surely others.
I don't see this on Ozbargain, etc. Hence, I would much prefer to keep this info a bit more private in this forum and don't see a need for me to share any information here unnecessarily.

Did you see this AFF article?

"In a few months, Virgin Australia will change its frequent flyer program to award status credits based on the cost of your ticket, rather than the distance you fly and the type of fare you book.

In this opinion piece, I explore the pros & cons of Qantas going down the same path… and explain why I think they probably shouldn’t."

Yeah I would be sad if ppl felt reticent to post a good deal here on account of things being instantly sent elsewhere and drained. Those who've been here for a while have benefited from the willingness to share amongst us and it would be a shame if the goose got killed and there were no more golden eggs for us.

Just bear in mind that you don't even have to register on AFF to be able to read the posts.

I can see both sides. But my view is that I post deals for a community of fellow wine lovers, who have also provided me with many more great deals over the years. It is a reciprocal community. Ozbargain isn't like that at all (at least not for wine). Further, I would feel a little peeved if someone was reading posts that I had made here, and then going and putting them up on Ozbargain (or elsewhere for that matter) for personal gain of some kind. I know I don't 'own' the IP in the deal or anything but I do put in a bit of time looking for wine deals (and I know others put in even more time and effort), and if someone is posting discovered deals elsewhere for personal gain, I don't think that is cool.

Having said that, the Cellar One deal was quite possibly discovered independently of this forum. Or possibly posted by someone who isn't even an AFF member (as noted by olympicwiz).

I don't think there is really a solution to the issue as long as we are a public forum...
