Hourly draws for Now TV pass with Nestle bars [Back for 2019]

    Nestle are doing a promotion with what they describe as 1000 chances every hour to win a monthly Now TV pass - https://www.nestle-promotions.co.uk/nowtv/Public/Register.aspx.

    Basically, you buy a bar, go to the website to enter the code on the inside of the wrapping, and if it's a winner you can get a 1-month NowTV pass. It's limited to a maximum of 4 passes per customer and only 1 of each type of pass, i.e. a maximum of 1 pass each for TV, Movies, Kids, and Sports.

    I've entered twice and won twice. Great for free TV. Not great if you're (supposed to be) on a diet :D.

    The offer runs until 15th July and you have until April next year to redeem your vouchers.

    On a related note, NowTV are also offering their TV and Movie passes at a 66% discount, down from €15 to €5 per month, for two months. That offers runs until 2nd July 2018. New customers only, but in my experience a new customer is anyone who doesn't have a current pass.

    So if you win a pass in the Nestle promotion, your best bet is sign up to the €5 per month for 2 months offer first, and then add the code for the Nestle pass in the second month. That way, you're getting three months TV or Movies for a total of €10.

    Thanks OP, I entered twice and won twice too. On related note the promotional nestle bars are 2 for €1.40 in spar


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,403 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    FWIW - Our office had a bunch of kitkats in fridge, so I asked for the wrappers, 4 bars = 4 wins. So could be an easy win each time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 167 ✭✭bobgaf


    Thanks OP. One bar one win so far. Will go again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 408 ✭✭karlyk1


    I presume the bars are branded with the promotion? None in any of my local shops. Bummer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 167 ✭✭bobgaf


    I got them in Supervalu. None in Tesco.

    Has anyone won sky sports, or is it mostly cinema / entertainment?

    They'll have the branding on the right hand side of the wrapper, like these:

    You get to pick the pass you want if your code matches. But they're only offering day passes for the Sports channel; no week or month passes.

    Edit: But they have a 60% off offer running for the monthly sports passes. You get the pass at €20 per month for three months if you buy a sports pass before before 8th July.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 473 ✭✭TetraSonic55


    I got 6 bars in SuperValu, since they are 2 for 1.60, and only 2 of them won.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 167 ✭✭bobgaf


    Cheers, that's 2 from 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭gerard2210


    Got 2 bars yesterday won on both, got 1 entertainment and 1 movies pass. Picked up 2 more today, but after seeing Tetrasonics post about only winning on 2 out of 6 bars, I used a different email address and got 2 more passes.

    Going by the amount of multiple wins I suppose it's on an algorithm, say if no numbers entered in last X amount of hours next code is a winner type of thing maybe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,853 ✭✭✭bromley52


    2pm +/- 2 hrs is probably the worst time to try it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,950 ✭✭✭fdevine


    Tip for anyone that wants to use an alternative email, for those that don't already know. If you have a gmail address you can put a dot anywhere in your name to create multiples.....

    joebloggs@gm....
    j.oebloggs@
    jo.ebloggs@ etc. etc.

    Nice one OP, thanks a million


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,181 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    Can someone check the wrapper for the T&Cs? Usually there's something about 'no purchase necessary'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,997 ✭✭✭68 lost souls

    Purchase necessary, except in NI it seems
    Eligibility:
    The promotion is open to UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), Isle of Man, Channel Island and Republic of Ireland residents aged 18+ only and excludes employees and the immediate families of Nestlé UK Ltd (“the Promoter”), its affiliated companies, agents or anyone professionally connected to the promotion.

    There is no limit on the number of entries permitted to the promotion, however participants can only win a maximum of four(4) times and must have a new unique promotional code for each entry. The four (4) prize maximum is conditional of a maximum of 1 pass type only per person during the Main Promotional Period and Catch All draws.
    Conduct of entry: The Promoter reserves the right at its sole discretion to disqualify any entrant found to be tampering with the code redemption process or the operation of the promotion; or to be acting in any manner deemed by the Promoter to be in violation of the Terms and Conditions; or to be acting in any manner deemed by the Promoter to be disruptive.
    Anyone trying to circumvent the rules stated in these Terms & Conditions by using alternative details will be disqualified from this promotion.
    Bulk entries made from trade, consumer groups, agents, third parties or syndicates will not be accepted. If it becomes apparent that a participant is using a computer(s) to circumvent this condition by, for example, the use of programme, application, script, brute force or any other automated means, that person’s entries will be disqualified and any prize awarded will be void.

    I'm two for two on this. Redeemed my codes between 8 and 9am on the basis that not many chocolate bars are consumed at that hour and people are too busy getting to work/school etc. to redeem the codes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 407 ✭✭n!ghtmancometh


    Won one there, 1.30pm. Cheers op. Movies free for the month.

    I have visions of someone stuffing their coat with bars in this hot weather and it bursts open with melted chocolate flowing everywhere like Homer Simpson and the gummy bears

    Does the email address you use for the nestle promotion have to match your Now TV account email address?

    5 bars 5 wins thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,878 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    You get a free 2 weeks anyway by going to their website (so it said on an ad on telly last night).
    Probably 2 weeks free when u sign up as a new customer or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭Absoluvely


    Anything stopping you getting 31 bars, 31 fake e-mail addresses, 31 sports pass codes, and getting sports for a whole month on the one NowTV account?

    I'm thinking the limit of each type of pass per customer only applies on the Nestlé side when you're getting the codes. Once you have the codes you can apply them all to the one NowTV account, right?

    One of each type per account max of 4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭Absoluvely


    One of each type per account max of 4

    That's only applied on the Nestlé side when you're getting the codes I assume. I'm imagining that when I have the codes I can pile them all into one account, right?

    Could there be something in the code that the Now TV site will recognise as being part of this promotion and apply the restriction on their side too? Considering how often people are winning codes, I'd be surprised if there wasn't something on their side to stop someone going to town on it.

    No, the limit is per NOW tv account.

    So your plan would only work with 31 different credit cards...

    Has anyone tried this recently? When I enter a voucher no it just says this...

    "Just to confirm that your entry for the next prize draw has been received. Please see the Terms & Conditions for the draw dates. We will be in touch with you again if you win."

    The main draws are over. I think you will be entered into the 'Catch all draw' and the next one of these appears to be on 15/08/18, with another one in March next year for entries made after the first catch all draw.

    This is from the terms:

    'Main Promotional Period is from 8am to Midnight each day from 21.05.18 to Midnight 15.07.18 with one thousand (1,000) winning moments each hour. Entries outside these daily start and finish times will not be accepted.

    This competition for NOW TV entertainment passes with hourly draws is available again this year and are on selected Nestle bars which are now in store. I got two kit kats yeterday and I won two passes on both of them.

    Did you have any trouble activating the free month? I won a pass but when I try and activate it through the email it takes me to the uk site where I cannot activate it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 167 ✭✭bobgaf


    At the end of the link taking you to the UK site, there is a voucher id. It looks like NOWXXXXXXXXXXX. Copy the voucher id and log in to your Irish NOW TV account. There is an option in the "Your Passes" page to redeem a voucher. Paste the voucher id in there and it should work. It worked for me. Not very obvious the first time though. Note you can only win twice according to the rules.

    The twice thing only applies to the email address on the nestle website. The codes work independently from the nestle site. I used multiple email address to get plenty of codes and I was able to use them all on my NowTv account without any problems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 167 ✭✭bobgaf


    Was that last year or this year ? I have just won twice on two separate email addresses. The first code worked fine. That email address corresponded to the NOW TV account email. When I tried the second code, it was not accepted. That was a different email address.

    There has to be less than 30 days left on your pass before you can apply a new voucher/pass, so you might be falling foul of that. If you entered the first code today, try the second code tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 167 ✭✭bobgaf


    That could be it. I had some paid days left, then I entered the first code which worked. I tried the second shortly after, definitely on the same day and it failed. Thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭deiseindublin


    So, any Nestle bars with the NOW Tv logo, and lots of posters are winning? How did I miss this last year? :eek::eek:

    Must go to shop, stock up and try it, thanks op.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,857 ✭✭✭glanman


    2 free bars from spin and win, 2 now tv vouchers!

    can these be used for sports packages?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭snowgal


    No unfortunately, would’ve loved that!


  • Registered Users Posts: 561 ✭✭✭thenightman


    I've won on every bar I've bought so far. Just a pity it's restricted to the entertainment pack this year, last year you could pick movies and entertainment. Still, not too shabby for a few months access to Sky's TV box set library for the price of a kitkat or two. I cancel straight away once redeemed so I don't forget and get charged.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,057 ✭✭✭Daith


    Does anyone get to the Review Voucher - "Apply voucher" button and it just sits there?

    Doesn't work on the Irish site. In the email you get after you've won the voucher, hover mouse over the claim voucher button and you'll see the link address. The voucher code is at the end of the link it looks like "NOWTV12455A"

    Copy that code, log into your now TV account and enter it into apply voucher box in the my passes menu.
