Upcoming Gong cha x FINAL FANTASY XIV Collaboration Campaign

[Eyrilona]

Despite being in a major city in the US (Seattle), there isn't one around me. Agree that this promotion was dumb. I hope whatever method they make this available later down the line isn't as dumb.

If Seattle can't get tea, what hope is there for anywhere else?!

3 of the 50 US States?

Did you even bother to go to Gong Cha's website to check?

Or perhaps you are not checking the correct website. (Yes, this brand really needs to hire a new Digital Marketing Director to revamp and consolidate its numerous sites into one single website.)

Gong Cha has locations in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Washington DC, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Maryland, New Hampshire, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia

Go to https://gongchausofficial.com/our_locations/ for the address of each location.

I actually did use their website, but it didn't list anywhere near that many states for me. Don't know why you got more from it, but good job.

Sadly the codes just ended up on ebay. Hoping they put this on the store someday.

Heads up to anyone in Australia - Gong Cha isn't giving us the plastic cups because of our national laws against plastic reusables. So if you're like me and wanted to get them to collect them then you're SOL.

I didn't even want the mount lol. Oh well live and learn.

This... straight up isn't true re: the cups, I'm suspecting it was more a supply issue at the store you were at. Our national mandate is for straws.

If you ordered a large you get their cardboard cup (which also have designs) but the medium size came in the plastic ones. Only thing I've noted between my store here and the one my FC mate could get to was which designs were where; my store only had the fat chocobo cups for example while theirs had cactuar and moogle ones.

Source: I live ACT/NSW region AU and the plastic cups do exist.

To add onto this, I'm in aus (victoria) and I was given plastic xiv cups too- they were all of the cactuar design though

One quick check on Ebay confirms the high likelyhood that Gong Cha employees are just auctioning the promo cards\items at a huge markup.

I also suspect this. Seeing sellers with 15 cards listed on the 18th seems really fishy. We were looking for the mountain zu mount and came across those. (I refuse to buy things from scalpers, don't worry.) I'm fortunate enough to live ~20 min drive from 2, and neither had keychains when I went today. I went to 1 location early on the 18th and they were out of the purple ones and had maybe 4 green and 6 brown. I was originally thinking of getting an extra code to give away, I used to live far away from a major city and understand the pain of being unable to participate, but this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

It's crazy to have to buy 3 drinks at once. They should have done a stamp card or app integration for those who don't want to keep extra drinks in their fridge. This may just be me, but as someone who likes bubble "tea" Gong cha's isn't that good. Way too sweet and the certain flavors (matcha and peach) are weak. Hubby says the honey lemon slush was good though.

Same in NZ (Canterbury). All cactuar cups and no keyrings. Le sadge.

I got screwed over by the pizza promo and now I got screwed over for this one... Honestly SE just stop with the food establishment promo because it's just not good.

Only person who won on this promo was Gong-Cha that sold the drink and informed you after the fact that they are out of codes and keychains.

If it's not available locally, it could be a fun opportunity for you to have a fun weekend getaway.

Be sure to call ahead though. My friend's local shop told him they weren't offering the promotion during the weekend due to how busy it was making them.

I went to the Gong Cha in Tampa. The employee there claimed they were out of codes, that people came in and ordered 60 drinks so as to get a bunch of codes, they had only been issued a certain amount of codes from corporate and they were out. The shop was only 10 minutes out of our way, I'm glad I didn't drive farther. This promotion was a failure.
