Moved to Forum: Original Link

A friend brought this to my attention on Sunday morning, but you can get the last generation Mac Pro for 93,000 points (using barometer for 4230 points for $25 Myer gift card, that's only about $549. If you use the Points + Pay slider to reduce the points to 5,000, you only have to pay $520. Not sure if it's a mistake or just clearance, but I ordered one Sunday. Hasn't shipped yet, but should in the next day or so.

Price error (moved to forums): Emails are now coming through confirming the price error. As compensation Qantas are providing 2000 points and a 20% discount code for those who unsuccessfully ordered.

    Wow that's 100% a mistake, 5000 points + $500 is completely insane.

      I think so too, but this model has just been superseded, and I don't imagine many people buy their Mac Pros from Qantas, so maybe they just have heaps of stock and want to get rid of them due to the new model?

        • stirlo on 10/04/2017 - 10:18

          This model has been superseded. They launched a new model with a minor spec bump keeping the current design. They also announced a completely new design coming sometime after 2017.

          I'm afraid you're mistaken. The Mac Pro was revised ALONG with the announcements of a new design "not this year".

      A quality deal, despite it seems to be a price error.

        Yeah I wonder too.

        I mean technically once the you have been billed, the contract has been made and you could take them to VCAT or similar to enforce.

        But who could be bothered.

        • stirlo on 10/04/2017 - 10:24

          There are dozens of examples of companies cancelling orders over "pricing mistakes" and it's a pretty boiler plate term in every online stores T&Cs that they reserve the right to cancel orders. You wouldn't have a chance.

          @stirlo:

          Had a look and there is:

          9.1 Order cancellation by the Member:
          a) Once placed, orders cannot be amended or cancelled by the Member.

          9.2 Changes to orders by Qantas:
          a) Qantas reserves the right to refuse to provide any Retail Reward, terminate, remove or edit content or cancel orders (or part thereof) at Qantas’ discretion at any time. Without limiting the operation of any other Terms herein, Qantas will not be held liable for loss or damage arising from the exercise of these rights.
          b) If Qantas cancels an order (or part thereof) a Frequent Flyer Service Centre representative will contact the Member and explain the reason for the cancellation.
          c) If Qantas cancels an order (or part thereof) the Member will be provided with a full refund for the order (or that part). Subject to the reason for the cancellation, Qantas may offer the Member a substitute Retail Reward of equal value instead of providing a refund. The Member may decline to accept substitute.

          This probably explain it, because I always thought they could cancel for honest errors. But a lawyer at work was very of the view they couldn't, but i would guess he wasn't aware of these clauses being used.

          At least we will get a 'reason' for the refund haha

      It's coming up as "PTS719,690"

    • jaydisc on 10/04/2017 - 09:57

      No, I think that's just how they differentiate the two models. Read the description. It's the whole thing. Apple doesn't sell parts like that anyway.

      And It's a Mac Pro, NOT a MacBook Pro.

        My bad, never heard of a Mac Pro before

    • t25 on 10/04/2017 - 09:58

      No one said it was a Macbook pro. This is an entirely different type of Mac compared to the regular run of the mill Macbooks and iMacs.

    excellent. Bought one with 5k points and $520
    my 93K points are worth more in dollar value so elected to pay $520

    "but I ordered one Sunday. Hasn't shipped yet, but should in the next day or so." - and because you pasted it to ozbargain, they will now notice all the orders and cancel all of them.

    So I hope you appreciate the upvotes because it just cost you a $500 mac pro lol. Should have waited for it to be delivered before posting.

      that refers to paying 3k USD for a 4k USD original price tag this is $350 USD for a 4k USD price tag, big difference.

    Pity they didn't limit stock for it then the first few people might have got one as this is probably clearance price. No way they'll order in thousands to satisfy the ozbargain hoards now.

    Wow, just got one myself. This is the first time I have ever used my points since starting it a few years ago and only racking them up on my Woolies everyday reward card since 2012, I'm lucky I had just enough!

    There's no way this isn't a price error though. Yes, there's a new one on the way - but this is Apple we are talking about - a ~4.5k machine, which doesn't become a ~$500 dollar machine just because a new one gets announced.

    Will be a nice surprise if it goes though.
