Aquire 10k bonus at Storage King

[samh004]

In a similar vein to the existing thread, Aquire is now offering new customers to Storage King a 10k joining bonus, and existing customers a 5k yearly bonus (presumably repeating).

We'll make it simple. Whether your business is looking for temporary storage or a more permanent solution, Storage King has a self-storage solution that's right for your business needs. Storage King is Australasia's largest self-storage company, with 114 locations throughout Australia. One call to pack, move and store and your commercial storage problems are solved.

While not quite as lucrative as a Staples purchase of $1, today I decided to rent a locker for a month, received a second month free and hope to not have any dramas* in 45 days claiming the points. Unfortunately, this set me back $70 with the smallest locker being $60 and a cleaning fee of $10 automatically tacked on. Still, I don't personally see this as bad value as it's more points than I'd make on a flight to SYD.



By my estimates, I'm due 10,210 points on the 6th March 2015.

Storage King T&C's.

Subscribing... this one should be entertaining.

Thanks for the heads up though samh004.

Agree 10K point for $70 is reasonable value.

I haven't been all the way through the process yet, but my local branch offers $40 per month as the cheapest space, so assuming the $10 cleaning fee applies that will be $50 for 10,000 bonus points.

Where do you enter your Aquire number?

When you rent the locker in person there's a field for a business name and ACN, I queried this and they said I could add my ABN there... already has all the parts of a drawn out battle

Indeed it does vary by location, was a little disappointed to only get $60 as my cheapest, but I'm solely focused on the points.

Additionally, Aquire seems to suggest it could be multiple use "Limit of 10,000 Aquire Points per rental agreement for a minimum of 1 month's storage purchased per Storage King store" while also saying the opposite "The 10,000 Aquire Points offer is available to new Storage King customers only". I may have to head to Brisbane...

Ah, you went in person. I was planning to sign up on the internet and then never go there.

Dear Mr_Orange, thank you for renting our storage, regretfully we have had to charge a cleaning fee because you left dust in the locker :evil:

They took a copy of my photo ID, assume they'd need to do similar even if you signed up online?

 

[boomy]

Sounds like a good value deal, especially if it can be done online. Can't be bothered going there to sign up.

Mrs_O just asked me if more than 'staff' member took up this offer as a new member to Storage King but credited to the same Aquire account whether the 10000 bonus points would post twice. What do you reckon folks?

 

[sumthinfornuthin]

I reckon the Acquire program is a crock IMHO

Usually staff are excluded, but couldn't see anything on first glance and if you're a business, I don't see why you should be excluded as it's a business program.

Oh most definitely, but if I hadn't tried it out I'd have about 40k less points by the time I finish my trial. I recently had to make a second phone call to get a flight to credit properly, after being promised a return phone call weeks ago. That's not how you run a business program... keeping your customers on their toes to check that they're actually getting their points.

I can give you 70K reasons for <$300 why its not - and I have not had my cough in a QF seat either.

As I pass the 425,000 point mark, with no disputes over bonus points or double status credits...I have to respectfully disagree

Good luck to you
I reckon it is a David & Goliath Program and unfortunately I am David and too small to make it work, racking up 20,000 flying points is impossible for me now. Keep at it before they change it too, BUT I am happy to be like Benny Hill ( am I showing my age ?????) and be "learning all the time" if I am wrong...don't hesitate to correct me,......the worst that can happen is that I will learn something and earn points...hey what have I got to lose guys show me why my opinion is wrong..but be gentle please.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Went to closest Storage King which is behind Officeworks on Nepean Hwy in Highett - cheapest monthly rental $82 - think I'll try a few others first.

always gentle sumthin Yes I am fortunate that I am with an organisation that can take full advantage of the program and so definitely lucky in that regard.

Pity no Storage King in Karratha!

I guess even if you could find a way to purchase multiple rental agreements at multiple locations at the same time, they may consider you as not being a new customer as soon as your first rental agreement is purchased...
There are 2 stores near me with only one showing prices online. $55/month is the cheapest.

Ka-ching!

Just finalising 3 lockers on separate ABN's. Free rent for first month. Only have to pay $16.50 cleaning fee for each one. Not a bad cost per point?

Now the waiting game begins....
