Just noticed Sony Australia have the WH-1000xm3 down to $395 on their website. $395 is not really a bargain but when paired with the $150 back Amex offer, it makes it quite tantalising.
Just place an order up to $500 or more and get $150 back with Amex bonus offer.. I bought the Headphones and some playstation games.
A carry bag, cleaning spray, and cloth
expensive bag. It already comes with its own.
At the end you spend $500 to buy that headphone plus few thing that you don't really need or you can get somewhere else cheaper.
Sony says: gotcha!
And i get $150 back! gotcha
The point of spending $500 is to get $150 back.
which leaves the price at $350 for the headphones, and some free junk you didn't want.
Pick the right things and you can sell that junk though, maybe not for $150 but perhaps it’ll be worth $50 to $100 depending on the items chosen.
@Smigit: Yeah I was thinking of buying a ps4 controller and selling it unopened on gumtree. Should fetch $40 - $50 easy.
Just buy two…
Who wants to go halvsies?
Even if you bought some extra junk you don't need for $105, this would still work out to be $350 ($500 minus $150 cash back), which is $45 cheaper than the JB price.
IF you walk into jb and ask for a better price they do it for $350. I did it a couple weeks ago
Finding items worth exactly $105 is difficult.
Last AMEX deal, it was spend $600 to get $200 off. The item I wanted was $599. I could not find anything for $1. The cheapest thing they had was $25 garbage in ear earphones which HN would sell for $7 in the bargain bin.
The non garbage ones were $35, but again massively inflated in price, and the reviews on site were poor. They fail after not very long.
In the end, I didn't buy anything.
I think if you are going to spend the extra $105 to make $500, you're going to end up spending more than that based on what things cost there, and everything being full price (no EOFY sales it seems).
Buy 2 with a mate for $320 each
i wanna be your mate!
You can get prices like this regularly just off ebay.
Halvsies with someone?
Stevtom27 I've got an AMEX and looking for someone to go halvsies with!
Make sure to stack with cash rewards.
Thanks for visiting via OzBargain - don't forget cashback via CashRewards!
Is a new version coming next month?
Nothing's been announced, but it's a safe bet there will be something this year.
interesting.. whoever negged me is betting against the last 3 years of trends. That and Bose has a new set of headphones to respond to that just upped the ante.
Is it worth to wait for Amazon prime day on this weekend? Ebay deal sold this for $280 couple of weeks ago.
ebay US is having their own prime sale during that time. ebay AU will likely do the same.
They did, but they had 2 and a half pairs available at that price.
missed out on this by 48 hours, so sad
I would consider buying them from Sonyaustralia ebay store : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SONY-WH1000XM3B-Wireless-Noise-C… for $319.20 after 20% discount code(polar20) they are listed as manufacture refurbished or seconds
I got these ones. Refurbed literally meant a dent in the box for my case.
So far as you can tell..?
Because refurbished or not the product itself could look the same. A dented box doesn't exclude the item also being repaired
I wouldn't risk it. Thats a crap discount if the one you get is actually a refurb.
Id team up with someone and go halvsies on one you know will be knew.
So you actually have to spend $500 to get these? That’s not really a bargain for the product itself, is it?
No, they're $395. If you want to maximise your savings, ideally you'd spend an extra $105 so that you receive a $150 credit, making your final spend $350 i.e. less than the cost of the headphones.
Your neg is invalid in this case.
No, they're $395.
$395 isn’t a deal for these headphones. So it’s a valid neg.
I think his neg would be invalid if someone posted suggestions on good ways to spend that extra $105.
I'm all ears myself.
Well I bought the headphones, Death Stranding (a game I will want day one of its release) and the last of us.
$520 in total. Getting $150 back so I spent $370 for some headphones, a $79 game on release day and a another game to add to my collection.
I'm really happy with my purchase. Plus I'm going overseas within 60 days so I'm getting $39.50 back via TRS.
So $329.50 for that bundle of goodies :)
What's this Amex offer and how do you do it?
I have a mastercard so I assume it's not for me?
Someone will likely neg you, just letting you know it isn't me.
But yeah, when there's an AMEX offer it naturally is assumed to apply to AMEX cards, not Mastercard.
No worries. I will accept the negs! :)
It’s cashback offers for Amex cards. Usually spend $X and get $Y back. They’re quite good, if you have an Amex.
The problem is what to buy for the rest of $105
