the question is - does it stack with the starthere.com.au moneyback?

  $100 in hand are better than $200 in bush (uncertain starthere.com.au/moneyback/buckscoop)

    ^ that and the fact that post has been updated to note that it won't work with any cashback/referral credits.

Nice! will it work with save20 (20% off) and NRMA discount (10% off)?
Edit: it probably will as per post description. Thanks

      I think Vodafone is no longer participating in the NRMA/RACV group member discount, but their CSRs still think they are, so they happily apply them as long as you give them the member number.
      
      They did just now on my plan.
- moocher on 15/12/2011 - 13:33
  
  Hmm, I think it only allows one promo code.
- ccrap on 15/12/2011 - 13:36
  
  Only works with one promo code at a time. I just tried. Dunno about the NRMA discount. So far best deals would be the SGS2 and Galaxy Tab deals posted here.

  If I understand correctly, Save20 looks like it's only for selected post paid plans on three phones:
  http://vodafone.com.au/personal/plans/existing-customer/exis…
  
  For example, for the Samsung Galaxy S2, the deal is only for the $49 cap plan. 20% over 24 months would be a saving of $235.20, which works out to be better than $100. However, for those who want a $29 24 month plan for that phone, or for some other phone, this promo code would suit better.
  - dealman on 15/12/2011 - 16:25
    
    OK , thanks so it won't work with the 29$ plan :(
    
    Also rep confirmed this below that the 20 % off is only for the specific deals on the link..

will this work for renewing contracts?
- hippo2s on 15/12/2011 - 18:51
  
  Yes, my contract was conveniently finished yesterday so I renewed on the phone.
  
  BUT you will have to jump thru hoops to get them to agree to giving you the credit. They say this is for new customers only. However with our contracts up, technically we can sign up for new contract and obtain the same benefit. So definitely should be offered to us as well.
  
  I had to spend an hour with billing and cancellation team to get it.
  
  Don't take the 'upgrades' team's word for 'yes $100 can be applied by billing team AFTER you renew' - make sure they record the part where you will only agree if the credit can be honored.

  sometimes a plan may total for a price lower than purchasing the phone outright. Some people may decide to utilise vodafones plans as a way to get a cheaper price on the phone. This deal would benefit those people.

    Let people make their own decision, dont assume everyone except you is too dumb to decide from themselves. OBVIOUSLY the nature of technology is that after a year what you paid seems excessive but most people cant afford to upgrade on a yearly basis which is why we sign 24 month contracts and deal with having a slightly dated phone for the back half of the contract.
EggMan28 on 15/12/2011 - 13:46

Only on first bill ? Was thinking of the $29 x 24 SGS2 offer but this means I would only just get $29 off the first month assuming I stayed within the cap limit ?
- cyssero on 15/12/2011 - 13:53
  
  No, your account would be in $100 Cr and you would essentially get 3 months free service. It's applied to the first bill which means you won't pay a bill until the fourth month.

  How does this work? You ended up paying $39 in total?
  
  15x24 = 360 - 100 = 260. So, it should be 260, not 39.

    $39 is the amount per month that Vodafone auto calculates for you.
    
    i.e. $15 + $24 for tablet and plan = $39 a month.

Can someone confirm that the $100 credit can be used past the first month.. ie, if I buy a 24 month plan phone, and get 2 months free.. will the credit still be able to be used for the following 3? months..
- VodafoneOnline on 15/12/2011 - 14:03
  
  +5
  
  yes it can - the credit will stay on your account until spent. Eg. if you're first bill is say $39 - you would be in credit and have a balance of -$61 which would cover your 2nd bill, and if any left, part of your 3rd month. Don't forget you're first bill may also be for more than one month as access fee's are pro rata'd and charged one month in advance. if you choose an offer with 2 months free, your credit will start applying from month 3

    However I was out of my contract, technically if i was advised of the correct information, i would have NOT renewed, and replaced a new order online.
    
    Can you PLEASE talk to the support teams in India and update them of this code?

      Asked to speak to cancellation - and the CSR there had more patience to listen and understand that it made NO sense to NOT apply this to out-of-contract customers - as i could have LEFT them, and come back as a 'new customer'. He spoke to his manager, whom approved this finally.
      
      Glad the cancellation team's manager had common sense.
      
      Resolved after 55:28 on phone.
      
      The team in billing has NO IDEA about this code. Best to do it online as new customer.

  Agreed, there is no point having a good value phone contract with lots of included calls if you can't actually make the calls (or receive them for that matter!!).

  - kirynflare on 16/12/2011 - 18:57
    
    Get her to sign up online anyways with the $100 credit, while porting her number to a prepaid $2 Optus sim card. The online process does not ask you if you would like a new number or old number. The phone will be sent with a sim card where you can call to activate with a new number or existing number.
    
    You will have 30 days from the order date to port a number across, so there's more than enough time to port her 3 sim card to Optus prepaid and back to Vodafone to take advantage of the $100 credit.

      hi kirynflare, I posted earlier to rep but no reply. My company is currently paying my bill and I just received a completed transfer form to my name. Old network is Telstra. Do I have to go to Telstra to finalise the name transfer? If I order this phone, how do I then activate the SIM with the number that I currently have?
      
      Thanks in advance.
    - kirynflare on 20/12/2011 - 00:45
      
      As far as I'm aware, you get 30 days from when you order to transfer your number across.
      
      i.e. If you order now, you get 30 days from now to get your name transfered and then to transfer your number across to Vodafone by calling their activation number.
      
      From what I was told, they will send you an activated sim or something like that, so you'll have to start paying bills from when your phone is sent, not from when your number is transferred.
      
      Hope this helps! If you need more info, I find that calling the Vodafone sales team (Australian based) is very helpful, especially since they are more similar to the online store than retail stores.

      Not quite. If Vodafone just does not credit you the $100 you are just in the same situation as cashback.
      It would be different if you could go to any Vodafone store with your documents and they gave you $100 in cash right away.
      If one does not trust Vodafone, they could screw one either way, both with credit and cashback.
      Moral of the story:
      
      If you do not trust a company, do not do ANY business with them, regardless of how tempting their offer is.

      I have not seen the clear terms of the 200 $ offer from buckscoop , there is also a gray area regarding validation.
      
      But with the coupon code when you apply it during the order process it clearly says 100 $ credit. This is why I think the 100 is in the hand.

I guess everyone can decide for themselves. I am not in the market for any plan anyway - I was just curious.

    New number or out of contract.
    
    NRMA: discount you have to quote your NRMA member number.
    100DEC: you will have to get them to commit to honoring the credit during the renew contract process.

    - hippo2s on 16/12/2011 - 09:02
      
      Two ways.
      
      When you renew your contract on the phone - mention this coupon up-front (altho as they shortened the validity, not sure if you can still get it) & IMPORTANT:when they are reading the t&cs, make sure you mention it again as part of agreement to new contract.
      
      They will say billing can do this for you - when you get to billing - they won't know a thing about it. Ask to be escalated to Cancellation - ie you now want to cancel contract as billing can't honor the coupon the sales team promised.
      
      When you get to cancellation - the theme to keep referring to is : you were out of your contract, technically you could have LEFT voda and sign up as a new customer - but since Sales promised you, you now have a way out. Be nice to these guys: If they DONT give you the discount, say you will now leave - they will try and retain you of course. IT's jsut simple logic… always ask for them to speak to their manager if they can't do things for you.
      
      Port number out, cost $2, and bring back in as if a 'new customer' - takes longer (to port numbers) but you don't have to waste an hour sitting on the phone - waiting 90% of the time for them to get their acts together. No aggrevation…no arguments.

Not sure has anyone asked this before, Voda has a current promo with Amex , if you sign up a 12/24 month plan using Amex card (need to register Amex card online)you get 7500 ponits, its value is > $50 , so was wondering if Voda Rep could confirm will this Amex offer could be used in additional to this $100Cr, 20% off, and 2 month free? thx!

      but this still works out cheaper, $100 credit

      You can get BOTH!! Other standard offers advertised on the vodafone.com.au site will be honoured in addition to the $100 Bill Credit promotion.

Oh man now I'm itching to get this, but my Acer Liquid MT is less than 4 months old. I might just wait until next year and see.

If you're looking to upgrade to the next iphone when it comes out, DON'T sign up for a 24 month contract.. Kind of goes without saying really.. but I didn't think about it when signing up for the iPhone 4 on a 24mo contract, really annoyed that I can't sign up for a 4S until July 2012……… I guess by that time the iPhone 5 will be almost about to be released..

  At the same time, I have 8 months left of my iphone 4 contract and I'm jumping ship. $600 for 2 years of access and phone, its a pretty good deal. I'm going to sell my iphone 4 for $300-$400 so really to swap over for $200? and 2 years of access is pretty good. I really don't care what an iphone 5 will bring to the table as I think its absolutely disgusting that apple will never allow siri to run on an iphone 4.. They'll never see another dollar from me.
