The Event is now finished!

Click Frenzy is back in New Zealand, and this time it's the Main Event that happens every November.

This time limited event runs for 53 hours and historically, has included partners from many big-name retailers and franchises.

Be sure signup to their website here to receive their newsletter and be in the running to win some of their 99% off deals. (You can always opt out after the event is over).

If you were a participant in last year's event, simply log back in again with the same username and password.

The event will be offering you a chance to score some 99% off deals: they've teased a Samsung Galaxy phone for $11 and 65 inch TV's for $18. To get these deals though, you'll need to be logged in and browsing the Click Frenzy website when a deal goes "live", and be prepared to respond to a pop-up notification that's asking you a certain question (30 minute time limit). Answers will be ranked by accuracy first and speed second, and winners will be contacted with a one-use discount code to buy their winning items with.

Visit their FAQ here to see an explanation

Remember: You will need a Click Frenzy account to access these 99% off deals when they go live, so be sure to create an account if you haven't already.

Tips: Be sure to also bookmark or follow their Instagram page as they sometimes use this to livestream events (which you need to watch to answer quizzes that unlock the 99% off deals).

Confirmed 99% off Deals:

8/11:
7pm-8pm iPhone 14 Q
9/11:
11am-12pm Galaxy Buds2 Pro Q

    At least they're not using SurveyMonkey this time.

    Poor Sandy and Karl have been permanently banned. Think they caught the wrong person. How in the world Timmy didn't even get a spanking yet those two have been cast into the eternal depths of hell is a mystery even god himself can't solve. Karl didn't even do anything wrong, he just likes Being Determined, Smart, and Mindful.

    • scrimshaw on 08/11/2022 - 17:45

      Thanks, for whatever reason I'm not getting any emails.

      • Wakrak on 08/11/2022 - 18:06

        I only got it on the account I created yesterday. Same thing happened to me last year.

        • timmywinny on 08/11/2022 - 19:59

          Do you create a new account for each event, or use multiple per event?

          • Wakrak on 08/11/2022 - 20:00

            @timmywinny: Only for the emails. I use the same account for entering.

    Click Frenzy newbie here, how many people actually gets to buy the item at 99% discount?

    Is it just one (first) person in all of NZ? Or perhaps the first five/ten/twenty etc?

    • Wakrak on 09/11/2022 - 11:31
      +2

      Don't think they've stated how many winners there will be. The pricier items, typically one winner per item.

      • CheapieSniper on 09/11/2022 - 11:35

        Ahh okay, yeah there was nothing in the FAQ about this. Thanks for the info! Hopefully they're willing to part with more than just one of these ear buds.

  • Smitch on 11/11/2022 - 16:32

    I’ve just come across this thread… the stand mixer pop up was between 2-3 yesterday. They promoted it on the radio station ZM for the previous few days and they gave the notification of when the pop up would come :-)

    • Wakrak on 11/11/2022 - 21:10
      +1

      I was on from 1pm - 4pm. Didn't see it once. Had it open the entire time while watching a video. Must've had bad timing.

      Man… how would you even know to listen to ZM for the clue.

      • Smitch on 12/11/2022 - 17:43
        +1

        Yeah I just happen to listen to them when I work from home, didn’t know how Click Frenzy worked when the pop up appeared (about 2:40pm) so I think I was probably too slow to actually get the mixer. Lesson learnt for next time!

          Ah well. Thanks for the update regardless and welcome to Cheapies.

            @Wakrak: Ah great, next year we will now need one cheapies member per radio channel dedicated to listening 24/7 for drop times for every radio broadcast in NZ. And don't forget the TV, magazine and newspapers that will need reading and watching.

    I just got a code for the Samsung galaxy buds. How am I supposed to redeem it? because at the checkout discount code section, it keeps saying it's not valid for items in your cart

      Same here actually, same 'prize', tried a few different browsers and again this morning and I'm wondering if we'll get a response before the offer runs out. sigh.

      • GeorgeOfTheJungle on 18/11/2022 - 09:30

        The weird thing in the text was that it said I won the "Samsung ear buds" instead of "Samsung Galaxy Buds2 pro"

        • Surreal on 18/11/2022 - 09:44
          +1

          Yeah that was enough to make it all feel like a low effort promotion, do they read their emails even? I tried the code against the other products in the nz store to see if it was that sort of mix up but no luck. I'll let you know if I hear anything from them (fingers crossed) and I trust you will do the same .

          last time around, we were supposed to get galaxy buds pro, however they sent out galaxy buds live. they have probably changed it to generalize whatever old stock they have in a warehouse. the box of my galaxy buds lives they had sent was very dirty. I had sent them an unhappy email about how come i was promised galaxy buds pro and about 6 months later they emailed saying they have stock of galaxy buds pro and I need to swap buds at their office.

          Got a response from them VIA email why the code isnt working saying it should work now, unfortunately mine still isnt working

    Got an email and it said the iPhone 14 99% off deal should go live between 7-8 pm today.

      Strangely enough it was sent at 7:27pm. They must have forgot about it or something.

          I wonder if they did it on purpose or not.

          Also, maybe there is an alternative communication somewhere else but would be crazy to think they release the popup before they send it out to the majority.

        This also happened last time, very weird timings of things

      usually, the more expensive / desirable items show up closer to midnight. It's weird that the iPhone is the first item this time around.

    We also had quite a few winners from our forum members during the CF Mayhem event: iPhone 13 , Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, Apple Airpods, Smeg Toaster, Air Fryer and Xbox Series S.

    Under Armour up to 60% off
    adidas extra 40% off Outlet (code)
    New Balance 30% off (code)

    Just some of the deals I've come across.

    • toomanywises on 08/11/2022 - 23:03

      Please if you could create a thread or explain how you got the bigger deals last time, so we can learn some tricks as well? :D

      • Wakrak on 08/11/2022 - 23:47
        +2

        Can you explain what you mean a bit more. Big deals last time for example, what do you mean there?

        I got a somewhat similar request a few years back which resulted in the following thread:
        https://www.cheapies.nz/node/24307

        My style has changed a bit since then. I was a prolific deal poster at the time, whereas now I focus on competitions and deals that stand out. Though I still post other deals, whether it be a freebie or a decent discount code.

        Of those sites I linked to in that thread, I use 9 of them still. The HNZ code is still going strong too.

        • Cashmere on 09/11/2022 - 22:03

          Wow that was a thread that kept on multiplying, Wakrak! You certainly put a lot of energy into sharing! And I hope all that karma comes back at you because you deserve it! ☺️🌺

            @Cashmere: Cheers. A lot of it comes down to this community. Didn't know much when I first started. Then I started learning from other cheapos about what's a good deal and what is not, where to look, what to type, and so on. Hopefully I've helped others get better along the way.

        • toomanywises on 10/11/2022 - 09:25

          No, not a problem. I was basically asking how the heck you got an iPhone when I basically camped in front of my PC and got nothing. It looks like I missed out this year since the bigger deals happened yesterday between 11-12pm.

          I was kindly having you on, sorry if I sounded annoying!

          • Wakrak on 10/11/2022 - 09:33

            @toomanywises: Ahh I get you now. Nah you're all good, was just a bit confused.

            I was lucky last year. Usually the pop-up appears on its own, but CF decided to do some tinkering back in May, and so unbeknownst to us at the time, you had to reload the page to get the pop-up.

            It was the very first comp.

            • toomanywises on 10/11/2022 - 10:19

              @Wakrak: That makes sense. Thank you :)

              Time to dust off Microsoft Edge since I can't be bothered disabling stuff! The last time I refreshed the page so many times, I think my device thought I was having a fit.

    On the last Click Frenzy in May, the 99% deals didn't start until 8PM

    According to their email, there will be 99% deals between
    8-9pm for a IPhone 13
    9-10pm for a Nars Bijoux Eyeshadow palette

    I like how in the email they sent out yesterday, they show some of the participating brands and then state that there are quite a few others. There are only two stores missing from that image.

    • figgy19 on 09/11/2022 - 09:12

      From the FAQ about NZ 99% deals: Follow us on Facebook and Instagram, we’ll also be dropping hints throughout the event on when you can expect a pop-up to go live!

      No Instagram posts since 16th June, no Instagram stories
      No Facebook stories, last post 14 hours ago saying the event is starting

      Seems like the Aus account is more active

    • LupinS on 09/11/2022 - 11:08

      The Addias discount also displays as a "11.11 Singles Day" discount in the cart, so was likely happening anyway.

      • Wakrak on 09/11/2022 - 11:19

        Same with ShaverShop, New Balance and others. When do they not have a sale / deals were available a few days prior to Click Frenzy.

        I don't often take morning tea/afternoon breaks, and I consistently work after-hours with no overtime pay. Yes, I will check my phone every so often for a chance to win something, and I feel no guilt for doing so.

  • Wakrak on 11/11/2022 - 16:25

    Sent a message to Click Frenzy on both their NZ and Australian Facebook pages, and also sent them an email. Nothing so far.

  • spren on 14/11/2022 - 20:00

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they just didn’t send the texts out at all lol

    • Wakrak on 15/11/2022 - 08:09

      They still haven’t responded to the email I sent them four days ago. Either us Cheapos weren’t good enough this year or they just couldn’t be bothered sending the prizes lol

      • LupinS on 15/11/2022 - 08:51

        Whole thing seemed poorly run. I suspect if this was run as an "in store" promotion there would be a lot of complaints, and likely fall foul of the Fair Trading Act (for several reasons), or even the laws that govern competions (which looking at their terms and condition for NZ and comparing to the AU one makes me wonder if they've bothered reading them).

        The grey area likely was is this (99% deals) a sale or a competition? They don't seem to have met the rules for either

      • scrimshaw on 15/11/2022 - 09:06

        I wonder if it's a one-man show at the CF NZ office.

        My guess is this year their headcount is significantly reduced and the number of employees at CF NZ is much less than before due to their budgets being smaller.

        Checking their LinkedIn it seems they only have 13 employees:
        https://www.linkedin.com/company/click-frenzy/?originalSubdo…

        This doesn't bode well for the future of CF in NZ, either because the market is too small, or the bad timing with interest rate rising and consumer spending going down. Would not be surprised that CF might not run next year.

        • Wakrak on 15/11/2022 - 09:20

          Felt like there was only one person manning the customer service desk back in May. Whether it be by email or messenger, Roy(?) was always the one to respond. And it typically took a while too from what I recall.

  • kiwiicheapies on 07/11/2022 - 19:09

    damn ill be at work :(

  • 1ys23 on 08/11/2022 - 18:35

    Wait so how do we know if we can get the 99% off deals?

  • 1ys23 on 08/11/2022 - 18:39

    Also when does the popup show? xD

  • spicegod on 08/11/2022 - 19:03

    Can I do this 99% thing on my phone? I've got the page open on another tab

    • Minimoo on 08/11/2022 - 19:06

      I would also like to know the answer to this. Also do we need to keep refreshing the page?

      • KJKNZ on 08/11/2022 - 19:13

        Some others were saying they didn't have to refresh the page but I always found I had to keep refreshing

        • Bill on 08/11/2022 - 19:39

          It is definitely receivable without refreshing, that is an end user problem

    • KJKNZ on 08/11/2022 - 19:06

      I done it on my phone last time. Definitely easier on a laptop/chromebook in my opinion though

    • timmywinny on 08/11/2022 - 19:23

      Phone would be fine, got to refresh

    • Bill on 08/11/2022 - 19:38

      Works on mobile but the most important thing is the tab is active.

      As tabs use up resources, a browser will hibernate it so it isn't using up CPU resources. If this happens, updates will not appear.

  • Lovesaini on 08/11/2022 - 19:13

    I did not see any good deal in nz website i have checked them all after login as member. 99% off deals are available in Australia only. Correct me if wrong.

  • minhas on 08/11/2022 - 19:42

    what kind of question do they ask?

          same as me, literally answered within like 1-2 secs but i answered 3 instead….

          • Wakrak on 08/11/2022 - 19:48

            @dealhunters: Ah well. The mrs wants the stand mixer anyway lol. She has the iPhone from last year.
