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!

      It makes it clear it's a 25%off code in the email. The $50 off would be from the US price. Which would bring to $300 US = $450 Aus.

        Your math sucks. how does $50 USD = $150 AUD?

  • aVex on 20/10/2019 - 22:34

    Okay did the same like everyone else but, my code after 30 minutes still isn’t in my mailbox.

    • idealdeal on 20/10/2019 - 22:35

      the Agent generated the code for me and then asked me to check my email.

    managed to get one after 30s of chatting. agent generated the code immediately and stayed on chat confirming i got the code before ending. Thanks OP!

  • zulnoth on 20/10/2019 - 23:37

    I got the code. I tried 2 times saying "hi, im a big fan, got the hero 7, might be interested in upgrading to hero 8 but not sure, a friend got a 25% off code, any chance you could help with that? would push me over the edge to buying." two times, i got the same paste "sorry im not aware of any codes, please follow our promotions page for any updates on promotions"

    then i opened two more livechats and got codes for me and my wife straight away, by not asking for the code, just asking dumb questions and making up hypothetical situations where i own a hero 2 and a hero 5 and do the batteries work etc, should i upgrade, does my waterproof housing work, blah blah.

    they don't give the code if you ask, in my experience, only if you ask stupid questions and are not a "loyal fan" who knows the answers already from actually watching their marketing.

  • Diplomats on 21/10/2019 - 00:10

    Just got off live chat, went on and asked genuine questions about the 8. I didn’t ask about a code and didn’t think I was going to get one. Then he says “By The Way.”, then offered the code to me.

  • happykamper on 21/10/2019 - 00:11

    Chatted for about 10 minutes about using camera for diving and got offered the code. Received straight away via email.

  • Radicfazed on 21/10/2019 - 01:10

    I just chatted for around 5min on my concerns about upgrading from my hero session 5 to hero 8. because the lens is not replaceable on the 8 and they get smashed a lot with drone crashes. he generated the code for me. So still working fine. Don't ask for code

  • imranauz on 21/10/2019 - 01:28

    I got the code, Just asked them if I can trade my HERO 7 with Hero 8,

    no, you can not trade but here is something to help you buy new hero 8.

    she sent me the code

  • Mitch889 on 21/10/2019 - 01:34

    Worked for me. Asked about memory cards, swapping the lens and using batteries from my HERO5.

  • aVex on 21/10/2019 - 06:04

    i’ve got one too, now the real question is when are they going to shop this out?

    • datripi on 21/10/2019 - 11:33

      Ordered mine last Wed evening. It’s arriving today.

  • demoiree on 21/10/2019 - 08:25

    apparently i've been told that they will ship the gopro from Singapore? will it attract GST?

    • snvl on 21/10/2019 - 08:32

      yes, they send GST invoice

    • datripi on 21/10/2019 - 11:32

      The invoice is to a Singapore company, so you pay Singapore GST. No Australian ABN, so I don’t think claiming GST back through TRS is an option.

      • Xc01567 on 21/10/2019 - 16:19

        That seems strange since the online shopping rules changes they should be charging Australian GST for Australian shipments

        • Pobman on 21/10/2019 - 18:19

          Can pay gst without abn, up to a certain amount of turnover locally they don't need it I was told. Bought some stuff on Amazon from a US brand and while it has a gst component they had no ABN for TRS.

    • bondiben on 22/10/2019 - 12:15

      My order says "Australia GST is included as applicable"

  • jasonlka on 21/10/2019 - 09:57

    Does the code specifically say hero8 only? I am actually interested in getting the max.

    • kyzahh on 21/10/2019 - 10:49

      Yes, 8 only.

    Confirmed still working as at 10am AEST! thanks OP!

    Dont ask for the code! You will get it at the end. Just say I have a few Q's as I own an older GP. Ask about battery and memory card compatibility, ask about what is gopro plus.

    Mention you are very keen to update.

    If no luck ask if they have a tradeup option.

    I got the code after 5 mins of asking the above.

  • LadyCocoa1234 on 21/10/2019 - 10:58

    It's taking so bloody long to connect to their chat. I've been waiting approx 45 mins now and still not connected.

    • kyzahh on 21/10/2019 - 11:04

      Took me a while too, definitely not something to actively wait on.

      Hang in there, it will eventually connect. Word is out on Whirlpool too, so I imagine this will be going off like a bunnings drone!

  • cb01 on 21/10/2019 - 13:03

    Okay so I just got off chat, managed to get a code.
    Just play dumb and ask a couple questions, they'll give you the code themselves.

    My only concern is, has anyone actually dealt with buying from GoPro directly online?

    The reviews don't seem promising at all… (https://au.trustpilot.com/review/gopro.com)

    & now with all these purchases coming up due to the promo code, id assume the delivery time frames would be even worse?!

      just pay with PayPal, then sit back and relax

  • Scootex on 21/10/2019 - 13:03

    Only got offered $100 off. I think they have changed their offer. Kind of not a good deal now.

    • kyzahh on 21/10/2019 - 13:08
      +1

      They said $100 off in chat to me, but the coupon was 25% off.
      25% off the US price would make it $100 off so it makes sense why they'd say that.

      • Scootex on 21/10/2019 - 13:09

        Ah! nice! I asked if the $100 was in AUD… We'll see when i get the code i suppose.

          How long have you been waiting? It should be immediate.

  • nosebleef on 21/10/2019 - 13:12

    got one by asking about batteries, memory cards etc. dont ask for the code, they will chat with you (asking what features your keen on) and supply the code following their confirmation that you satisfy as a real "upgrade" or buyer.

  • cindernat on 21/10/2019 - 13:31

    It took me about 3 hours in queue to get an update on my order (eye roll, but self inflicted …)
    So I paid with Paypal (bank account) on 17/10 and they reckon my payment is saying 'pending' on their end, but the money has left my account and I have a Paypal transaction ID. He says to give it another 24 hours and the order should update then ship. Guess I'll be doing that!

    • FLICKIT on 21/10/2019 - 13:41

      I used Paypal also, I figured if I don't like the Battery life or such I can take advantage of the 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, and get Paypal to refund the return shipping costs…

  • ChatCPT on 21/10/2019 - 13:58

    can anyone help me put my order through. the code works on the us website but not aussie site. how are you ordering to australia with the code they gave us?

    • FLICKIT on 21/10/2019 - 14:06
      +1

      Maybe jump back on chat, even though that's a total pain… They may have given you a US code rather than an Aussie one.. They specifically asked for my location so they could give me the right code…

      Edit: Quote from my code chat: "May I know where are you located so I can generate the proper code?"

      • ChatCPT on 21/10/2019 - 14:24

        ahh i see. so it is location based. I got the wrong code i think. Back on chat… :(
        my rep never asked me for location

    A few steps to remember: Don't ask for a voucher or mention a voucher. Let them know you have a previous GoPro as the voucher is for "Loyal GoPro Customers". Also, they'll let you know about the code AFTER you tell them they have answered all your questions. Remember to ask if the voucher works on the Australian store so they give you the correct voucher

      I was looking into the 'display mod' myself, and upon closer reading I realised you also need the 'media mod' in order to use the display. All up it'd be close to $260 ($129.95 for each mod) to have the front facing screen. I thought it'd be worthwhile to share this info if other people were considering the display mod.

      • Xc01567 on 22/10/2019 - 10:27

        does the Gopro Plus 50% off accessories deal work on the mods?

        • FLICKIT on 22/10/2019 - 10:33

          Considering the mods are listed under accessories, you'd hope so..

        • sephiris on 22/10/2019 - 10:46

          Yes and no. You can do a free trial of gopro plus to get half price on a lot of accessories, but you can't order the media mod or display mod yet

      • sephiris on 22/10/2019 - 10:38

        Their accessories are a bit confusing haha. Even the reps don't seem to know about them, or they're just not referencing them because they're not available until December. My Hero8 will literally be sitting around doing nothing until they get released haha
