I would like your opinion!
Is it worth paying AU$49 per year to have Kogan First?
Besides the free shipping, the discounts on products compensate?
Tks!

No. I probably wouldn't use it if was free.
Terrible customer service and dodgy practices
If you are lucky enough to not have any issues with goods purchased from Kogan and are a regular shopper it may be worth it.
However it only takes a couple of issues and finding out that getting customer service is like banging your head on a brick wall to realise that buying anything from Kogan isn't worth the ensuing headache, no matter how cheap (and nasty) it is.
Nah. If you want to throw your money away, you can just Beem it to me instead jeez
It’s called Kogan first because you’ll be the 1st member
I thought it was because they always put Kogan first
First, and will be the last.
Kogan uber alles!
But wouldn't you be facing it again if you turned 360 degrees?
I guess you just walk into it, hurt yourself, sue MS, get paid, buy another, then repeat…
education isn't what it used to be clearly.
Moonwalk away
negged due to the bad maths
@brendanm: It's actually from 2006 so it's funny that this 15 year old meme is the gift that keeps giving.
Xbox 180?
Not worth it over ebay plus for the same price, less if you get an incentive
Free membership if you have Kogan Money Black credit card.
Is interest free??? If so congratulations on the free membership, otherwise you got screwed.
It is similar to Coles CC, or the new Paypal CC. Up to 55 days interest free.
nope
got it with the kogan black card.
zero use otherwise.
Like eBay plus. Avoid. Waste of money and reallynothing worth the subscription.
Put that $49 into Amazon Prime. So much better value!
Ebay plus is great when you buy it and they give you a $50 voucher.
$49??? Thought it was $59??
It is, just saying put the $49 towards Amazon Prime instead.
Maybe one day there'll be a class action lawsuit against junk subscriptions like the banks/car dealers and their fees for no service/junk insurance :D
Yeah, prime is almost worth it for the TV, but you get music and free delivery as well. Much better value.
True but you can easily make your $49 back from the gift card when you threaten to unsubscribe and couple of discount on deals like $99 air pods 2 before
I always will have an order that goes double the fee of the membership .
Of course its worth it .
yes. kogan first is worth it.
no its kogan nuff said
Don't support a dodgy company notorious for cheap rebranded junk or grey market imports without disclosure, lack of decent customer service and poor practises like price jacking. Not to mention being sued/fined several times and labelled as shonky by Choice.
Haven't you been riding the success of the Company via the share market m8 hehe ?
Shorting kogan shares nice!
kogan free + Panadol
It's well worth it if you won lotto as then you would have more money than you need.
Even if you're rich it's not worth it. You just wouldn't feel as bad being ripped of $49
EBay plus is also a scam
I've actually found it pretty good so far but probably different opinion from a lot of others
Kogan First, Second or Third..
Just run.
It sucks. I remember choosing to pay for a month to get a cheaper price on an item and it ended up charging me for a yearly membership. I contacted their support and they essentially just said tough luck, no refunds.
SNAFU…..
Kogan is the worst, don't buy from them.
Worth it if you get it for free with their Credit Card and $400.
I bought a pair of Converse canvas sneakers recently from Kogan for $70. They are unwearable as they are too tight. Yet I am a size 8 and don't have big feet. Yesterday I was at KMart and bought a pair of $10 canvas sneakers that fitted so much better than the Converse and were noticeably broader across the "ball width". I can't return the Kogan junk as I had to put them on to see how they fitted in real life.
As much as I dislike Kogan, this is not their problem though. I have tried shoes on with tags and returned them without issue, not sure what you did.
I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that.
Why? It’s the same as trying on shoes at the store. Unless you rip up the box and absolutely trash the shoes….
I am surprised they are still in bussiness when everyone hates them.
Kogan the bogan..should be their slogan
Terry wogan reported Hulk Hogan fought Joe Rogan over the movie Logan.
Not at all - most of the stuff they sell can be found elsewhere cheaper. For the odd thing which they do have cheaper than anyone else, I've just registered a new account with them and taken the free 14-day Kogan First trial to get whatever discount / free shipping applies with it, then ensured I cancel the service before I'm charged with the monthly fee.
Just a quick reminder - UNSUBSCRIBE FROM KOGAN FIRST BEFORE YOU FORGET AND GET CHARGED AGAIN!
Sign up for the credit card. No annual fee and free kogan membership.
Ruslan usually reads these posts, be interesting if he responds lol
no way… its not worth at all… dont even think about it
If we all subscribe to Kogan First it will help Ruslan with his Monash University HECS debt. As only the second most successful businessman in his class, he needs the help.
Better to phrase it for what it is - debt to the Australian Tax Office
It'll also help to pay all the fines from breaching Australian Consumer Law, spamming, price jacking, & deceptive practices (not paying consumers the 10% discount promised).
no
Well i forgot to cancel after trial and bastards extended a year. so… I think half the subscribers are suckered in like that
Some of their products are really good like their steam mop, cheaper then Bunnings, they do put effort into the build quality, however I cannot speak for their spam sales to phones.
But it's a business.
Their customer service have an attitude problem. I wouldn't buy anything from them.
Unless they are paying you just stay away from Kogan. Would have to be an unbelievably good deal for me to buy from those dodgy buggers for anything.
Kogan -> run away!
