First shared by as a comment in paraneoplastic's expired post. Thought I would create a new thread for anyone who didn't see it.

Basically ask a question about the new GoPro over the live chat. You do not need to ask for the code within the chat (I didn't) but some people did. The one time use coupon was then emailed to the email address I used to start the chat, after about 5 mins. Really good price for a brand new model. Note: the free 32GB SD card is not included when you use the coupon. Free shipping is though. Enjoy!

    Damn, good deal

    • sachz on 26/10/2019 - 12:41

    Bought one yesterday via the same offer, asked a few questions about the 8 and the Max too and they offered up the coupon without my asking for it.

    • camshandez on 20/10/2019 - 19:18

      Code work on the Max? Or only the 8? I wanna order the Max, and 25% off would be incredible

      • FLICKIT on 20/10/2019 - 19:22

          • raybies on 01/11/2019 - 12:06

            @camshandez: Thanks, got one :)… charging now. Smaller than I thought, button not very nice tactile press and the battery door lock/lever rattles.

            • camshandez on 01/11/2019 - 13:18

              @raybies: oh that's a shame! I've called GoPro Technical Support, awaiting confirmation about Ambisonics Audio extraction from the 360 audio files. Seem no one at GoPro has actually used the Max for 360 VR video… all have just tried it for reframing in iOS or Android app for social media upload. Pretty disappointing considering they're selling a 360 camera, but haven't actually tried the 360 features haha

            • shagaroo on 01/11/2019 - 18:42

              @raybies: I've found that the rattle is minimized if you close the door properly - like really push it up into place before locking.

          • jackbird13 on 13/11/2019 - 16:19

            @camshandez: know of any current deals for the max, only just started looking and everything seems to have expired.

    I finally got through to the agent and they told me that they are not giving out codes anymore.

    This is what they said.

    Chat: So at the moment, since we don't have any codes available, we feel so bad as we won't be able to give anything away. We have received a lot of calls and chats asking for that same code and we can't provide anything at the moment.

    So don't waste your half an hour trying to get through for nothing. There is no deal here, anymore

    • I Smell Pennies on 20/10/2019 - 13:32

      did you directly ask for a code? I chatted with them at 2:30AM today and they gave me a code

    • bboarder on 20/10/2019 - 13:38

      There was a deal at the time it was posted, but it has since expired if that's the case. I just finished placing an order.

    Dang OP, nice find.
    Hoping for some luck when chat opens up again.
    For any first timers picking one up, make sure you get a blistering fast SD card to take advantage of the bitrate and minimise overheating/lockups (have experienced neither). SanDisk Extreme Pro (A2+V30) gets stupid sharp results with my 7 black and can be found pretty cheap. 64Gb should ballpark 2 hrs at 4k/60.

    • Cu5ter on 20/10/2019 - 20:59
      +1

      Got the code in the end, had to use Windows Chrome as mobile seemed to not work for me. Waited about 30 mins, was kicked out for "too busy" then rejigged and got straight through.
      Asked (in case interested):
      1) Is the frame and display mod water resistant?
      - no it isn't
      2) Will my 7 Black be getting any UI updates like the 8 has?
      - wait and see
      3) Is the GoPro trade-up program ever coming to Aus?
      - wait and see but also voila; code offered.
      Suspect you need to imply you have a previous model and are concerned about the price.

      OP is legend.

    • cdaddy on 20/10/2019 - 23:33

      SanDisk Extreme Pro

      Very overkill

      • Cu5ter on 21/10/2019 - 01:41

        Upon reading up to try and refute you, fair call. Got confused at point of purchase between the GoPros 85Mbps max write and the cards 90MBps max write. Seems anything as fast/faster than 10MBps should be fine. Proceeding to alt-f4 in shame and order a cheaper card for my discounted 8 black.

    50min wait. Stayed at "next in line" for 20mins. asked if there was any sort of discount for buying the Max and the hero 8 together in a package. they said "no but for your loyalty here's your discount code" and sent me an email. Worth it!

  • vnomous on 20/10/2019 - 17:28

    I've got through the queue after over an hour wait but the representative said he was not aware of any promo/discount code being offered. Maybe I'm just unlucky. I would appreciate it if someone has a spare code. :)

    • sutiive on 20/10/2019 - 18:12

      I'm not sure what your aproach was but i was very friendly to them. Mentiones how busy they are and how tired they must be (sucking up big time). First question I asked was about if I could use hero 7 batteries on a hero 8. Then asked if there was a discount for buying the Max and 8 together. That's when he offered up the code. Also used an account that I'd previously bought the hero 7 through. Maybe try again and try all that!

      • vnomous on 20/10/2019 - 19:11
        +1

        I was friendly to them too. But I didn't ask about combo deal for Max and 8 together though. Seems like that's the strategy to get the code. I will try again and will update how it goes.

        Also, I don't get why the downvotes (not that I have anything against those who downvoted though). I just shared my experience.

      • vnomous on 20/10/2019 - 20:19

    Okay, I tried a few times in a few different ways (various conversation lengths and topics) with a friend and I think we cracked the code:
    1. Go here for contact, because the link in OP just says "closed"
    2. Start the chat by saying you have had a previous GoPro product (e.g. Hero 3) and you have a a few questions (e.g. will your old accessories/batteries still work, what the the new improvements, etc.)
    3. You can ask genuine questions if you want, but at this point they will have probably offer the discount to you

    If they don't offer the discount to you, here's a few things you can ask:
    * Is the new GoPro worth buying to upgrade my old one?
    * Is there any discounts for upgrading?

    I got the code now as well. Thanks OP and all others for suggestions.

    • I had to wait in line about 20 minutes (the 'hang on screen')
    • I got connected and told that I have the gopro 5 and was looking to upgrade
    • I then asked if my waterproof case would be compatible with the new gopro8 and was told no.
    • I started uhming and arring and asked about the price of the waterproof case
    • 'BOOM' She then offered to give my the 25% off code when ordered from the website.
    • She then asked for my location and sent the code from the email used to start the chat.

    Hope this helps someone. Good luck!

    • polarq on 20/10/2019 - 23:24

      Tried again successfully. I think you need to make sure to tell them that you have been using an older gopro camera and want to upgrade. This discount is supposed to be only for 'loyal' customers :P.

      The second time the person asked for the serial number of the older gopro that I claimed to have, which was unexpected. I just said I will take a while to find it and he gave the code right away…
