I was thinking of buying an iPhone 7 from the Apple online store. I noticed however that all the cashback offers (cashrewards etc) that used to be available for Apple have been discontinued.
Flybuys is offering 1 point per dollar spent at Apple
Qantas is offering 2 points per dollar spent at Apple
Anyone aware of any other ways to 'juice' a little extra value from my iPhone purchase?
Or are there any places selling an iPhone 7+ 128GB for less than Apple? Only interested in upfront purchase.
According to recent news, stock availability will be "super" limited so might need to wait longer especially to buy in-store.
I don't think it's going to be that limited, judging by shipping estimates.
The jet black will be impossible to find, but most other colours are still showing 2-3 week shipments on pre-orders.
You don't earn Qantas points from the Qantas Online Mall for buying iPhone7.
Qantas Points are not offered on newly released product lines like Apple iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, Apple Watch, Apple Watch Nike+, Apple Watch Series 2, Apple Watch Hermès and Apple AirPods, except iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, iPod, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, iPhone SE, the 13-inch MacBook Air, Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones and Apple Watch Bands.
Pretty sure something similar in the fine print for flybuys too.
That is truly shonky marketing.
Where is that written? Is it still the case??
Click on the Apple Store on the Qantas Mall to view terms and conditions.
They update it frequently. Looks like iPhone 7 is now eligible.
Latest updated T&C

Cheers that's the way I read it!
I assume the points are in addition to any points earned via your credit card/Qantas Cash card etc?
Short of hoarding gift cards, no. Stores will sell their entire stock at full RRP so have no incentive to discount.
I bought discounted JB gift cards through my work - 7.5% off.
You won't find any stock for at least two weeks, though, and no one is discounting them because of the high demand.
