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!

    anyone got a spare code? please PM me? many thanks! I need one.

    • KnownSystemError on 22/10/2019 - 16:42

      Just chat with them and follow the guidance of others

      • justfrog on 22/10/2019 - 18:13

        I tried 3 times, finally got through and asked some real questions. At the end he said the promotion has finished, no more discount codes.

  • Radicfazed on 22/10/2019 - 15:59

    So i just signed up free trial with gopro plus and went to place my order.

    Batteries and screen protector are out of stock, rang them up and they have no idea when they will be back in stock. hopefully can get them in stock before my trial ends. or the 14 day coupon

    • bondiben on 22/10/2019 - 22:04

      Accessories and batteries are excluded from the 25% off, so you'd only save on shipping.

      • clone on 24/10/2019 - 16:07

        Gopro plus gives you 50% off accessories.

    • I Smell Pennies on 22/10/2019 - 22:43

      just create more emails for more free trials?

  • acidburn1328 on 22/10/2019 - 16:04

    To those that have ordered the Go Pro Hero 8 through the Gopro website, do you have a date when you will get the Gopro deliver to you? I would like to order today and hope to get it before December? And is this work for TRS as well to claim the 10%GST back?

    • I Smell Pennies on 22/10/2019 - 16:16

      I placed my order yesterday 12:15am, shipped last night ~8pm, now undergoing transit at customs or something. It says "Clearance in Process". Will definately receive it in a few days as according to their 3 day timeframe

      • I Smell Pennies on 22/10/2019 - 21:37

        Update: My GoPro has just cleared Singapore customs and is now ready for departure on the next available flight. Delivery now says Thursday.

    • Easton on 22/10/2019 - 17:19

      Was connected to Live Chat immediately without a queue at around midnight 21/10. Asked if the trade-in offer was available in Australia and the rep said no, but he can offer something better instead and offered the 25% off voucher.

      Ordered: 21/10 (12:30 AM)
      Received "shipped" e-mail with tracking number: 21/10 (9:30 PM)

      UPS tracking number currently shows "Scheduled Delivery: Wednesday 10/23/2019 - by End of Day".

    • FLICKIT on 22/10/2019 - 18:17

      Ordered 8:40am on the 21st:
      https://postimg.cc/py1gYkJm
      (to Tassie and Thursday is a public holiday which is probably why it's Friday delivery)

    wow that was quick, will definately order today. Thanks martin1234 for the information.

  • zfcwjc on 22/10/2019 - 18:18

    I've tried few live chat and the operators never offer after over 15mins chat. no luck Does anyone got discount code, please kindly PM me,

    • justfrog on 22/10/2019 - 18:22

      Same here. they said promotion finished.

      • zfcwjc on 22/10/2019 - 18:42

        they said they dont know there is a promotion. full of BS.. i reckon..

      Are you using the Contact Us chat under sales and support?
      https://gopro.com/help/ContactUs

      Say you're thinking about upgrading your old gopro, ask about battery compatibility or such… They usually offer it without you having to ask..

      • zfcwjc on 22/10/2019 - 20:22

        Thanks FlickIT. Finally it’s worked. Tired the actual above and they offered me 25% discount and give me the code over the chat.. so don’t give up . If operator say no, hang up and try again.

        • zfcwjc on 22/10/2019 - 21:04

          FYI, the code worked ok.. ordered it.

      • justfrog on 23/10/2019 - 08:53

        Use your link and tried again this morning and it worked. Must be only offered by different support teams only. Thanks FLICKIT for the tip.

  • Retrosurfa69 on 22/10/2019 - 19:41

    Tried it. Asked about 8. Am really keen to actually grab one. Nothing has came through. Will change comments if it does.

  • Mr Snrub on 22/10/2019 - 20:42

    Ordered on Sunday and delivery due tomorrow! :)

    • TomGum on 22/10/2019 - 21:19

      So odd. Ordered Saturday and delivery says Friday :/

      • Mr Snrub on 23/10/2019 - 10:41

        I’m in Sydney if that makes any difference to the delivery

      • FLICKIT on 23/10/2019 - 11:12

        I'm fairly sure UPS hand over to Aus-Post/Star-Track in Sydney for deliveries to Tassie, which adds a couple of extra days, Adelaide may be the same?

  • sydflyer on 22/10/2019 - 23:00

    3rd attempt has got me one. Just had some random chat about the release date of gopro 8 black, and made some flattery chat with the other end of the live chat, then, he recognized me as 'loyal customer', then.. boom, sent me code.

  • moomoosan on 22/10/2019 - 23:33

    Thanks FLICKIT. Had a chat with an agent just now (no wait time). Asked about battery compatibility and was offered the code almost immediately. Chat ended under 3 minutes.

  • DeepMidWicket on 23/10/2019 - 09:19

    Thanks OP, I owe you.

    I can confirm this is still going on 23-10-19 (9 17 AEDT)
    Had two chat sessions, first agent was not really helpful didn't offer me the code.

    The second agent was very generous to generate the code just after the first question.
    No wait time.

  • satanz07 on 23/10/2019 - 09:32

    Can't find the place to put in the promo code while checking out? Can anyone please help me on that?

    Deal still running. Just received my code :D

  • bdl on 23/10/2019 - 11:32

      I'm not sure about Shopback but Cashrewards was AU$15.23..

        I used cashrewards and it tracked within hours

  • I Smell Pennies on 23/10/2019 - 11:41

    Mine just arrived at Port Botany

  • Marmaduke on 23/10/2019 - 11:46

    I got one yesterday - I asked about ability to use older mounts etc with new black. They asked for my existing serial no. Which I didn’t have access to (I could have given it if I was home) and then they gave me the code anyway after a few more questions. I got the impression they’ve been asked to verify if the chat person is an existing GoPro user by asking a few more probing questions.

  • HLTT on 23/10/2019 - 13:42

    Any code for MAX?

    • bdl on 23/10/2019 - 13:44

      No

  • KnownSystemError on 23/10/2019 - 14:55

    Has anyone who ordered yesterday received shipping notification? My order is still 'Pending' with chat agents saying billing approval can get held up when lots of orders. Need to wait for Gopro billing approval before dispatch. (Charge hit my credit card straight away)

    • jsediv on 23/10/2019 - 15:26

      Mines still pending. Im guessing they're a little behind with all these orders coming through

    • FLICKIT on 23/10/2019 - 15:47

      It all seems a bit slower than claimed, I ordered 8.40am Monday with Shipping Express Service | 2-3 Days… It was shipped 1pm Tuesday.. and it's due for delivery by end of business next Monday.. So it looks like their 2-3 days = 7+days… Oh well..

  • orangehead911 on 23/10/2019 - 15:22

    Still works! Just had a chat with a friendly sales support person and was handed a 25% off discount coupon which I promptly used… :D

  • Bargainbeth on 23/10/2019 - 16:04

    Didn't get a code after 40m of waiting and chatting, if anyone got one, and not planning to use it, please pm me! Will be forever grateful lol

  • cindernat on 23/10/2019 - 20:38

        I was the OP. 17th Oct. Some problem with not being able to ship to PO Boxes. Well, they should not allow one to be entered!

        • cindernat on 25/10/2019 - 13:28

          Got it today at 1pm

  • em91 on 23/10/2019 - 22:46

    Does anyone know if this is shipped from Australia? and estimated shipping time to QLD?

    I have my promo code but I'm trying to sell my Hero 7 Black first before I order the 8… And I need the 8 before I leave on holiday on 7th November so I could be cutting it fine.

    • FLICKIT on 23/10/2019 - 22:50

      Shipped from Singapore and they seem to be fairly slow to process orders at the moment, should get it in about a week with luck…

      • em91 on 24/10/2019 - 16:07

        Thanks FLICKIT. Placed my order today 24/10. Fingers crossed it arrives before 7 Nov.

  • EnergicAU on 24/10/2019 - 00:04

    did it tonight and got it!

  • JustNotGod on 24/10/2019 - 01:06

    Ordered Monday 8am. Yet to be shipped. 🤔

    • Xc01567 on 24/10/2019 - 11:55

      Ordered Monday 9:30 and also haven't received shipping notification. Called up and the guy reckons they're waiting for stock which should come in the next couple of days but he didn't sound convincing

  • Bargainbeth on 24/10/2019 - 01:59

    Anyone know whether you'd get charged international conversion fees using a normal debit card? Apparently it's charged in aud if you select the au store, but some sites still charge that fee in this scenario.

    Could pay with PayPal but would rather use the credit card.

    • FLICKIT on 24/10/2019 - 11:53
      +1

      It seems the payment is processed in the Netherlands.. I paid with Paypal with a CBA Visa card, I got stung a ~$13 international transaction fee..

      • Bargainbeth on 24/10/2019 - 14:29

        Damn.. Are you sure that was the international fee and not the card fee? If you fund a PayPal transaction with a card rather than account number, you pay around a 3.5% fee.

        • FLICKIT on 24/10/2019 - 14:43
          +1

          Yeh, it's a CBA thing with their visa cards, not sure about other banks.. (It's an international transaction fee, not a conversion/exchange fee, Gopro charge in AUD)
          https://i.postimg.cc/J7jdPKfB/GPcba.jpg

          I rarely use this card and Paypal for overseas purchases so it completely slipped my mind… Thankfully Cashrewards was $15 so that kinda covers it, lol

          • Bargainbeth on 24/10/2019 - 15:19

            @FLICKIT: Ooh. OK. Thanks for that! Def the int transaction fee. It happens huh, when you're focused saving money on one end something else gets charged haha.

            Didnt you get charged with the PayPal fee as well though? Usually when you pay using card, they make you pay a fee. Not sure if that's only with fnf.

            And cashrewards, not sure if the cashback would work if you used the code. But for your sake, hope so :).

            • FLICKIT on 24/10/2019 - 15:31

              @Bargainbeth: There's no other Paypal fees, and their terrible exchange rate doesn't come into it because it's charged in AUD..

              Cashrewards has tracked it and it comes up as a $15.23 reward…

              • Protoser on 24/10/2019 - 21:26

                @FLICKIT: I paid with paypal cba card as well but no fee?

      • JustNotGod on 24/10/2019 - 16:57

        Paid through PayPal attached with Amex…just $449 ….nothing extra

        • clone on 24/10/2019 - 18:37

          It'll show up in their bank/card statements the same as when you pay in a foreign currency. Amex does not charge this fee AFAIK.

          • JustNotGod on 25/10/2019 - 21:19

            @clone: at last there is some benefits for having amex…after those initial velocity points :P

  • Mr Snrub on 24/10/2019 - 04:35

    Got mine delivered yesterday, ordered Sunday. Lucky I was home as UPS are a pain as they won’t take to nearest post office and just try to re-deliver if they miss you.

  • acidburn1328 on 24/10/2019 - 12:58

  • kalakaar on 24/10/2019 - 14:15

    I dont believe, they are offering the codes any more. Or may be they just didnt offer me.

    • DroneRunner on 24/10/2019 - 15:17

      Nope, still works. Just got mine.
      First chat with a guy, nothing. Second chat just asked 2 simple questions and then closed the chat window when the conversation stalled.
      Got the email 30 minutes later.

      She did ask for my serial number which I gave and the email does say "loyal customer" so punt for that angle like everyone says.

      • kalakaar on 24/10/2019 - 15:23

        oh I see. Will try again. Thanks

  • TomGum on 24/10/2019 - 15:38

    Got mine today. Great deal. This might set a new rrp down to $449 lol.

  • halfpastdead82 on 24/10/2019 - 16:15

    I tried just now and had a reasonably long chat with a nice rep, asked a few questions about upgrading 2 cameras etc. Rep said there was a trade up promo but is wasn't available in Aus, which I expressed disappointment about. She asked for my email to sign me up to a newsletter but didn't offer any other deal, despite me asking if they do a better price for upgrading 2 cameras. I guess I will wait to see if something shows up in my email this arvo.

  • snvl on 24/10/2019 - 17:12

    5 days pending. I will cancel tomorrow and I'll ask for another code.

        No PO Box

    • metalhead on 24/10/2019 - 21:12

      paid via paypal on Monday 21st, my order is 'pending' too. I chased it up via the online chat but they couldnt provide a good explanation other than that it is being 'processed' and that they will 'escalate with the team concerned'. Very annoying.

      • snvl on 24/10/2019 - 21:28

        they dont have a clue. I told them if no shipping info tomorrow morning, I'll cancel. I'll wait for an eBay sale.

      • Protoser on 24/10/2019 - 21:29

        • Xc01567 on 25/10/2019 - 11:00

          back to an Aus address, apparently it's because they use UPS for their returns and UPS doesn't have domestic delivery service in Aus

    • FLICKIT on 25/10/2019 - 06:04

  • halfpastdead82 on 25/10/2019 - 05:53

    My guy at my local JB HIFI is doing me one for $500.

    Sure it’s $50 more but to avoid the stuffing around as well as having easy warranty if there’s a drama is worth the difference.

    • snvl on 25/10/2019 - 07:47

      i think it is better deal the JB, proper invoice too.

    • TomGum on 25/10/2019 - 09:39

      This deal is $65 cheaper. How unreliable is gopro that you need to rely on 12 months warranty?
