Hi all, one day only deal at JB hifi. I can confirm this is valid at North Sydney store ( Peter - ‭0289186700‬ - is guy who looks after in NS ).

Here is maths and required information.

12 month contract comes to.12*65= 780.

Get $500 ( yes Five hundred) JB hi-fi gift card bringing cost to $280 ( 780-500 ) for a year.

This means for one month you are paying only $23.33 ( 280/12)

— Unlimited local call / text is included along with 60 GB data EACH month on what possibly 5G network.

— No overseas call.

For Port in or other credit over chat , try your luck.

Thanks

PM me if you want to ask specific question at store. I can go there and ask on behalf of you.

    Can we use jb gift card to bring down the price to $23.33 a month?

      Try see if Telstra will allow you to pay your bills with JB Giftcards…probably the same answer to your question

      • jbar21 on 24/06/2019 - 13:22

        Thats how he interprets his post can I be sorry for my innocence?

    • jbar21 on 24/06/2019 - 13:20

        Guessing some people feel it was a rhetorical question. Generally, $500 JB Hi Fi gift card isn't really worth $500.

        • jbar21 on 24/06/2019 - 13:24

          Im sorry if some people do feel rude about my question.

        I learned a long time ago, there’s no such thing as a silly question. If you’re wondering something, dollars to donuts says someone, somewhere is very likely wondering the exact same thing, which is a reflection that you’re not silly, or that it’s inappropriate to ask the question.

        Of course other people will be wanting to know how they could possibly reduce the cost of their phone plan, and considering the obscure nature of the recent deals made with Telstra, I.E; contacting chat to enquire whether it’s possible to reduce the phone plan by $10 a month etc, it’s only logical to assume that there may be other methods of reducing costs that may not initially appear obvious or readily apparent.

      • mamsong on 24/06/2019 - 17:21

        I think you can not pay Telstra with JB gift card.
        Imagine you can not pay Coles groceries with Woolworth Gift Card

        • Fizzydrink on 24/06/2019 - 18:38

    • strike1 on 24/06/2019 - 13:20

      Nope Telstra will bill you $65 each month but you can use it to buy stuff at JB

      1. 65*12 = 780
      2. 780-500 = 280
      3. 280/12 = 23.33 (effectively)

            @Broomstick: Just let it go bro. I thought that if we get plan from JB with telstra we are tied at JB not directly at telstra. Like what we have foxtel from telstra. We were paying foxtel at telstra.

              @jbar21: I've seen the question enough to know it can't be used against your bill, BUT, I still think it's a valid question/comment.

              The use of neg votes around here are pretty questionable at the best of times.

              You can buy/sign up for the plan in JB, why shouldn't you be allowed to use the credit to pay for the same service!?

        $500 JB Hifi Gift card ≠ $500 AUD
        I know which one I'd rather have.

        • datafellows on 24/06/2019 - 17:06

          I got one and it takes a while to find something to make it worth its value.

          Find something low margin like Apple stuff and TRS it, you feel better than selling it $450 to someone.

        • 2024 on 25/06/2019 - 08:17

          Thats fair, but a $780 phone bill with nothing, or a $780 phone bill with a $500 jb hifi gift card (or $450 cash with very little trouble)?

          I know which I'd prefer.

      jbar21, you might be new. You can sell your gift card in the "Classifieds" forums. Usually it has to be at a slight loss.

        Yes bro thats why I asked that. didnt thought of selling it online. but Thanks for letting me know.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2019 - 22:54

      Well you could sell the gift card on feeBay and probably get $420 - $450 for it. Less fees might come out with $400 in your skyrocket. You could then put that onto your account. Effectively brings it down to $31.66 a month.

    • RiotDealz on 24/06/2019 - 23:38

      It is across all JB hi-fi as per that guy. I can't vouch and that is why mentioned to check with store.

      If offer is not available at other strores , one can call to NS store and see if they can process over the phone.

    It's good that a mod changed the link/picture from Telstra to JB Hi Fi. It was giving people the wrong impression (showing people Telstra's Samsung Galaxy 10 5G plans).
    If you do get this deal (note: this is a BYO plan), remember to cancel it once the contract finishes.

  • goblues31 on 24/06/2019 - 13:27

          I’m sure I read on a similar deal recently that there was a 30 day requirement to not be on Telstra to do this - so people couldn’t port out and port back in.

          Sucks, existing customers never get rewarded.

            @sarahbrisbane: I had just ported out before all the deals started (maybe 1 week prior) went to 3 stores in total and managed to port over at broadway jb hifi. The thing i found with the other two stores was that jbhifi staff would call someone? Telstra/headoffice who knows and they would advise i hadn’t been out for 30 days. In broadway the guy didnt call anyone just started to the registration on the computer -no questions or checks done.

            Hope that helps

            @sarahbrisbane: The lady I spoke to at Garden City JB said that it isn't important at all. You may have a different experience, though. I ultimately did not want to try the port out/in gauntlet in case it didn't work.

    • WTF on 24/06/2019 - 13:37
      +2

      LOL no unless you really want to :)

      Just to be clear - you will get a monthly payment slip from Telstra for $65/month and there is no mention of a gift card anywhere.

      Also, someone told me that if you really want to be a pro, you can buy something with the gift card (like a phone for work). Claim TRS and then also claim the tax deduction when you file with the ATO come tax time.

      If you do the maths properly, you may end up with more money than you spent :)

    • Smigit on 24/06/2019 - 14:22
      +1

      I think you should be ok, but it might depend on how you are calculating your deductions. From memory there's a few ways one can work out the value and some or most of them don't take any consideration into the actual inclusions in your plan including onboarding offers. One method is determining what percentage of calls are work vs personal by sampling a one month period. That method doesn't talk about data allowances, inclusions of services like Spotify/Apple Music etc that have no work function etc etc. If you dont make a lot of personal calls then this method might work out well.

    Friend phoned the Warrawong store earlier and confirmed this deal is valid but for today only.

    Thanks OP, the friend in question had issues with JB Hifi not honouring the Note 8 deal for $0 upfront when joining this plan yesterday, even though they had a sign advertising it outside the store. So he's happy to be getting this as he was looking to swap over from Optus.

  • ashdays on 24/06/2019 - 14:08

    Good find OP

  • OrderInWrongWordsThe on 24/06/2019 - 14:10
    +2

    May be a coincidence but JB Hi-Fi has a deal currently which sounds pretty much like the one OP described except that you have to buy a $999+ phone to get the $500 phone credit voucher. Also note that it calls it phone credit, so I assume it is only for phones, not say, a TV.
    Check it out here

    The conditions mentioned are
    *Available to port-in customers and new Telstra customers only. Excludes Telstra Pre-Paid, Boost and Belong customers. Minimum cost $1560. Offer not in conjunction with any other offer. For terms & conditions visit www.jbhifi.com.au/telstra-terms. Phone credit can only be used in store and is received when you connect to the $65 JB plan over 24 months. To receive the $500 phone credit the handset purchase price must be a minimum value of $999. Phone credit can’t be used on any other items in store. handset must be purchased the same day the connection is made. Please refer to store staff for further enquiries.

    Still may be a good deal, but unless this is a big concidence I feel that the sales guy was a bit confused and you can't get the $500 without buying a phone too. Personally it isn't clear to me if that is $999 after discount or if you can even use the phone credit on the phone you are buying to get the credit or it needs to be a second phone…

    • klatscho on 24/06/2019 - 14:11

      This wasn't advertised online either (the gift card side of the promo anyways), but it was legit (I can testify to that as I was one of those who switched over and got the $500 gift card). It's a 12 month plan only. I'm assuming they have managed to bring it back (for one day only).

  • akbermo on 24/06/2019 - 14:13

    $65pm with 80gb data
    $500 gift card with handset purchase over $999
    $300 gift card with handset purchase under $999

    OP’s deal is $65pm with 60gb data, $500 gift card and no handset purchase required - is that correct?

    • The J man on 24/06/2019 - 14:17

    I always love this maths:

    No, the cost is still $780. You're just getting $500 to spend on something else, you're not getting $500 "back" to bring the price down to $280.

    Don't get me wrong, still a great deal, but calling the cost $280 is dodgy salesman tactics.

      Unless you were about to buy something from JBHifi anyway. Like I was for the 43inch TV I needed for a monitor. So in that way it has worked out to effectively paying for the TV in installments. Plus getting a free 60GB phone plan. For me that works out $280 cheaper a year for a phone plan and also pretty good maths!!

    • yummypinacolada on 24/06/2019 - 15:53

      Its safe to say that you could change to $59 60gb plan, but not on the $49 60gb plan unless you are very lucky. Its because Telstra already aware that lots of people change their JB plan to $49 one, so they take away the port in discount.

        Even without port-in discount, still it makes sense if you are after unlimited international calls and peace of mind data. However, my question is whether it can be upgraded or not? As I am after Telstra $89 plan as I am after unlimited international calls and roaming.

          I don't think it has unlimited international calls and peace of mind data (I asked @ the jb hifi) please correct me if this is not the case

            @andy8: This plan doesn't have international calls and peace of mind data. Thats why I am asking if I subscribe to this offer, can I later add-on these through Telstra chat?

              @OZBsince2018: Can confirm I have switched from jbhifi plan to the $49 plan by speaking to the lovely people at Telstra tech support, try to do live chat after porting and see how you go. I went with the straight answers explaining what I did and why I want to switch, the lady was more than happy to help at Telstra. Definitely the best customer service of all the big telcos

          You definitely can go for $69 for 90gb plan

      I went to 2 JB Hifis and a Telstra store before declaring them all idiots.

      1st JB sent me to telstra.
      Telstra said it’s a JB thing and has nothing to do with them.
      2nd JB said you can downgrade, after a reasonable period … like 6 months
