Been looking for a travel zoom when I don't want to carry the DSLR, this is it. Best price Sony have ever had on it.
I'm told that it is an EFTPOS card, as good as cash, can be spent anywhere. Is that not the case?
It is still a good idea to put the sticker price, then the price after cashback
This isn’t cash back. It’s an eftpos card. You can’t take the money off the card and put it in your bank account. The price is $424. For that price, you get a camera and a $50 gift card…
It is. I just think for the post, it should show the amount one needs to pay (the price). The final value can be a lesser amount e.g. with 2% cashback, or in this case, a $50 EFTPOS card.
Great price anyway. Harvey Norman is selling at $381.
Have you got yours? Is this good for videos too?
Alright guys, let's do some basic maths!
The camera is actually $424 with a $50 eftpos GC. Which means in total, you're spending $424 to get a value of $474 (when you spend the GC). This equates to roughly 10.5% of saving.
Now, the way OP has stated in the title sounds like you're spending $374 to get a value of $424. This equates to roughly 11.8% of saving.
A lot of people perceive both as being exactly the same but the requirement of extra purchase actually lowers the discount you think you are getting.
It's $381 at Harvey Norman, and you also get BONUS $50 EFTPOS Card via redemption
Add something $19 or more if you saved the AMEX deal and drops the total price a further $100
Edit: Thanks OP for the heads up. So I managed to get this camera at Harvey Norman for $381 and added the Vanguard VK 8 Compact Camera Pouch for $20 which brings the total to $401. Essentially paying only $301 (via AMEX deal) and getting a bonus $50 EFTPOS Card :)
Thanks BlackIron2 for reminding me about Tourist Refund Scheme.
$381 for Camera + $20 for Camera Case = $401
$100 back from AMEX so takes it down to $301
GST Refund if going overseas within 60 days of purchase which takes it down to $264.55 ($301 - $36.45)
Total spend $264.55 and bonus $50 EFTPOS card
FYI: website says it is a backorder item.
Hi all.
First time posting but long time Ozbargainer and I thought I found really good deal
You can use Harvey Norman "Live chat"to price match The Good Guys current offer of 15% off cameras to bring this down to $323
Then you can buy this at Harvey + a $80 HN Gift card to get the Amex $100 credit
Then you do the Sony redemption for the $50 Eftpos bonus card
Then if you are flying within the next 60 days you should be able to claim for the Tourist Refund Scheme which is a further 10% off the $323 price
I have the camera in my hands now and lol bought this without approval from the missus
She is watching youtube clips on reviews for it now and I'm hoping I didn't make a mistake but sometimes bargains are to be had
Oh noooooooooo
I just saw the Goods Guys increase their website price
They must have realised that $380 and 15% off was too much
I saw the post on cameras yesterday on ozbargain

Can the eftpos card be used directly to purchase this camera? If not, the deal is “$424 for camera and $50 gift card”
Nope, you get the $50 eftpos card by redemption after purchase
I think you should state price is $424.00 in the title. The $50 Sony Giftcard promo isn't a direct discount. The final value of $374 is only perceived, not realised.
