[Resolved]  Parle — no paytm promo code in hide and seek pack

I bought a parle hide seek packet worth 30 rupees which said that i would get 15 rupees as paytm cash. However after opening the packet i could not find any code printed inside the packet. Didn't expect such cheap and fraud promotional and marketing tactics from such a well established company. They are trying to increase their product sales with false marketing. It isn't about the money, it's more about the customer trust which they are treating with such careless intent.

Highly disappointed with such a gimmick played by the company and i see that there have been quite a few complaint cases of the same manne with no action taken by the company.

Actually the code does exist inside the hide-and-seek pack but it's a dumb idea to keep it so invisible!! Anyways I tried the code and got 15/- back

Check the image on how unclear the code is printed, but which still exists though

for your information the code is printed in embossing because the ink should not come into contact with the biscuit and one should not have that harmful ink by any mean..

I bought hide and seek biscuits for paytm 15 rupees cash back . Then I scanned bar code and it took me to paytm website to enter voucher code. I tried to find the voucher code inside the biscuit packet is nothing. I really disappointed.
Please do in proper way otherwise don't provide this type offer.

Hi,
I too bought the Parle Bakesmith last week and the code printed is too bad as few of the codes displayed
are not clear at all. Paytm app says "Enter a valid promo code" Both the companys are frauding and cheating people to make their products buy.

I will never buy again Parle and will stop using paytm.

Prabhu

None is working & with such a difficulty to identify the code

Didn't expect such cheap and fraud promotional and marketing tactics from such a well established company. You are trying to increase product sales with false marketing. It isn't about the money, it's more about the customer trust which you are treating with such careless intent.

So I bought two packets of hide and seek. Firstly the idea of printing the unique code inside the packet is such a dumb idea though it is barely visible. And it doesn't matter if the code is printed outside or inside because whenever you enter that code it always says invalid code. I mean why? I bought a new packet. Still invalid ? Such cheap trick of promoting your product PARLE company! Didn't expected this. You guys are just making people fool. I am never going to buy this product anymore. Such a fraud company!

Guys, please open the biscuit packet and eat all biscuits :) and then try to find inside the wrapper (when it will be empty). it is not very visible, try to find it with very clearly eyes. inside of wrapper color and coupon code color are same. So check it very clear.

I got cashback, see below screen shot

Guys i think parle has partially done things right.
What Parle has done right---
They have really provided the code inside and have not cheated us.

What parle have done wrong---
They have provided the code in such a way that its almost invisible to a naked eye. Only on close examination you will be able to see. I have screenshot attached. The things is they should have been more clear with the code.

I have got my recharge. Hope you would too.

Cheers.

As there’s no code hiding in the foil nor a scannable QR, don’t the guys feel SHAME?
As it is we like Hide n Seek—wonder why this FRAUD was created ???
