Frequently Asked Questions - Coast is Calling Vouchers Round 1

Vouchers

Eligibility is open to all persons 18 years of age and older who are a resident of South Australia. Some exclusions on eligibility apply and are specified in the Terms and Conditions.

To enter the ballot, you will need to provide: 

A valid email address

Full name

Mobile number (this is required for delivery of SMS verification code)

State/territory of residence

Terms and Conditions are available at southaustralia.com/voucher/ccv-terms-and-conditions.

Vouchers can be used only on participating accommodation or experience providers for a booking of an equal or higher value.

This means:

$100 experience vouchers can be applied to all experiences listed in the program (dining excluded) with a minimum spend of $100

$100 accommodation vouchers can be applied to accommodation with a minimum one-night stay and minimum spend of $100

$200 accommodation vouchers can be applied to accommodation with a minimum two-night stay and minimum spend of $200

$500 accommodation vouchers can be applied to accommodation with a minimum five-night stay and minimum spend of $500.

To assist you to easily find experiences and accommodation you can use with your voucher, you will be able to ‘filter’ the available operators (based on your voucher value and type) via the booking system.

If you are successful in the ballot, you will be notified via email and SMS on the date of the draw, Tuesday 23 September 2025.

If you were successful in the ballot and received a notification email and/or SMS on 23 September 2025, you must make your travel booking before 11:59pm (ACDT) 24 October 2025, or your voucher will expire.

The voucher travel period is from 24 September 2025 to 30 November 2025 (inclusive).

No, there will not be a second chance draw.

Yes, it is possible to redeem multiple vouchers provided:

you and your companion(s) spend an amount equal to or more than the sum of the vouchers;

both you and your companion respectively spend an amount equal to or more than the value of your individual vouchers;

the vouchers are redeemed within the same booking; and

the operator’s terms and conditions allow this.

For example, if two people win a $500 voucher (with a minimum $500 spend) and are willing to travel together, then each person would need to incur a minimum spend of $500 each, being $1000 in total, to redeem the two vouchers on the one booking.  

We recommend that you read the operator’s terms and conditions, or contact the operator directly, before booking to check whether this option is available.

Only one entry per person is permitted.

Yes, if you decide you won’t be able to use your voucher, they are transferable to another person – simply give it to a friend or family member to use.

No, vouchers are not transferable between rounds. For example, a Coast is Calling Voucher from Round 1 cannot be used in Round 2. Each round operates independently, and vouchers issued in one round are only valid for that specific round. Please refer to the applicable terms and conditions for your voucher, including booking and travel dates. Round 1: see here; Round 2: see here.

No.
Vouchers can only be used within the same category in which they were issued.

Accommodation vouchers: You can use your voucher for any accommodation offer of equal or higher value within the same denomination (e.g., a $200 accommodation voucher can be used for any $200+ accommodation offer listed in the booking system).

Experiences vouchers: There is only one experiences category, so denomination differences do not apply.

No. Vouchers are allocated as per the Terms and Conditions and cannot be changed once allocated. If you decide you won’t be able to use your voucher, please remember they are transferable to another person via the unique code.

It is at the sole discretion of the operator to allow eligible vouchers to be redeemed on a pre-existing booking.

Where allowed by the operator, the voucher can only be redeemed if:

the pre-existing booking was made with an operator registered in the Coast is Calling Voucher program; and

the product is available with the specific voucher type.

The pre-existing booking must also be within the travel period of Wednesday 24 September 2025 – Sunday 30 November 2025.

We recommend you contact the operator to discuss this.
