Note this deal is only for locked down stores in Melbourne and you need to call the store to sort it out over the phone.

It is listed on their system.
It may expire Thursday or Friday 6 pm as I heard 2 differing dates.
Call to check.

note. any questions call the store directly. numbers are lusted on the website.

You get the $500 go. Regional Victorian stores which are open give only a $400 gift card.
Regional locked down stores may offer $500 possibly too.
Anyway call to check but be fast as it drops to $400 very soon

    Do they have a $900 for $99 dollar version?

      no idea. call them

  • kazuyamishima on 27/10/2021 - 18:06

    Used to be $59/month last year.

    Guess inflation has something to do with it.

    • Garagesale on 27/10/2021 - 18:23

      might be when u try to get $20 back per month by contacting telstra. can still do that on rare occasions. see the $400 post

      • BrokeCamel on 27/10/2021 - 19:50

        Am I correct in interpreting that to be $59/month and a $400 gift card? Couldn't find the post

  • vihand on 27/10/2021 - 18:07

    Website shows $300 only.

      as per info above u need to phone them. sum1 rlsr posted recently about the $400 deal which runs out soon too

      • vihand on 27/10/2021 - 18:54

        Thanks, just called them and now they are offering $300 gift card which matchs the online deal. Maybe not a good time, thanks anyway.

          ask them to check their system. the $400 runs till about the 29th and the $500 finishes very soon. the $300 is wrong

    Has it been confirmed that they closed the loophole where if you already have an existing Telstra contract,
    you could open up a new service for the gift card then portt over your old number & close the old contract?

    • fordprefect on 27/10/2021 - 18:56

      yeah, cannot even do it from boost

      • Zwarzy on 27/10/2021 - 19:58

    • jt90 on 28/10/2021 - 15:32

      I'll know in a day or two. I asked Telstra to close my old month to month (no contract) number and use that number on the new contract I just signed. They put in the request without any issues and said it will take up to 72 hours…Whether it goes through or not is another question.

      • g0dskitchen on 29/10/2021 - 05:32

        Please let us know. Thanks heaps!

        • jt90 on 02/11/2021 - 12:07

          Just wanted to update that it went through just now meaning that I have a my old number on my newly signed plan. Had some hiccups but eventually worked and got compensated 10,000 Telstra plus points for one of the longer messaging sessions.

      • JaeTee on 29/10/2021 - 16:37

        Any update on this? Thanks

        • jt90 on 29/10/2021 - 16:41

          Nope no changes as of yet. I might try to contact them on Monday. I think if it doesn't work I'm just going to convert my old number to an esim since the Pixel 6 Pro does have support for it.

          • JaeTee on 29/10/2021 - 22:59

            @jt90: Would this not mean you are paying for 2 plans?

            • jt90 on 02/11/2021 - 12:02

              @JaeTee: Yes that is correct. There was a little hiccup but it was completed today. It takes about 12-24 hours to get your current number disconnected but they had some issues porting it but eventually went through.

      • Firefly on 30/10/2021 - 15:16

        Sounds promising! Did it go through?

        • jt90 on 02/11/2021 - 12:07

          Yes just now! Took 1 initial enquiry plus 2 follow-ups.

      • jt90 on 02/11/2021 - 12:13

        Update: This eventually went through and also want to add in that no new SIM is required to change numbers. The agent will make the change then will ask you to restart your phone which you will then test the number.

  • Mattyd86 on 27/10/2021 - 19:05

    So it’s listed on their system for only select stores in Victoria that are in lock down? Any idea why not offered to wider company like QLD or WA?

    • Garagesale on 27/10/2021 - 21:14

    Same deal in NSW (Chatswood Westfield), in store. I got a Pixel 6 pre-order, so I got the $500 off the phone plus the Nest Audio from Google.

    • Suikoden on 27/10/2021 - 21:14

      was it a $500 gift card or $500 off pixel pre-order?

      • Dizz on 27/10/2021 - 22:04

        Not OP, but did preorder a pixel yesterday. Technically both. The creation of the contract gets you a $500 gift card which they activate at the counter and apply straight onto your purchase. Can't see why they wouldn't let you pay full price for the phone then keep the voucher if that's the way you wanted to run it…
        Since the voucher is part of the terms of your new Telstra contract, there's a clause about needing to repay a certain portion of the voucher as well as remaining months if you cancel early.

      • hvbarg on 28/10/2021 - 08:33

        sorry for the confusion…

        Telstra 12-month plan (port in) for $69/month gets you the $500 gift vouchers that were then used to pre-order the Pixel 6. Exactly what @Dizz described in his reply.

  • telf22 on 27/10/2021 - 19:26

    Does this include current telstra customers or just port ins?

    • Garagesale on 27/10/2021 - 21:13

      port in or new number. iu csn already have a trlstra number and it hrlps the signup process to hsve a telstra account.

  • yojabbajabba on 27/10/2021 - 19:26

    OP, are you calling the stores inside metro Melbourne or the 1300 number on the JB website?

    • Garagesale on 27/10/2021 - 21:12

      call the stores directly. each store has their number listed on the website. eg csll csmberwell on the camberwell number.

      • yojabbajabba on 27/10/2021 - 22:24

        Cheers. Will ring around my locals tomorrow.

  • MikeMelbourneAUS on 27/10/2021 - 19:33

    Telstra was awful for me. I was on Optus for a good 15 years and finally made the move for a "better coverage". I rarely got usable coverage at home, echo in calls at work and absolutely nothing at my sons school.
    To the point where Telstra paid my last 4 billing cycles rather than trying to fix my issue.
    First month back on Optus and couldn't be happier. Everything is back working as it should….. 500 bucks though… I'm a sucker for $500… Do I dip my toes in again?

    • AEKaBeer on 28/10/2021 - 14:35

    Can I just purchase a 2$ prepaid sim tomorrow and port it to Telstra and avail of this promo?
    By the way, i have an existing telstra mobile service and the 12 month contract just expired yesterday.
    Got that from the same JB Hi Fi Telstra deal last year.

    • yojabbajabba on 28/10/2021 - 11:11

      must be 30 days out of Telstra/Boost/Belong.

      • Jayd3n on 28/10/2021 - 15:49

        Oh okay, thanks. I ended up porting my son's coles prepaid (seldom used) which is about to expire in 21 days anyway. Now my dilemma is what should I do with my current Telstra service with an expired contract just 3 days ago (it is my primary point of contact). Thinking of porting it to Kogan Prepaid Mobile 90 Days 60GB $14.90 then gradually moving to the new ported Telstra service as my new primary point of contact.

        Thinking of trying the "change on fnn" hack and cancel my service with expired contract..

    Does anyone know whether if you sign up to seperate mobile and mobile internet plans through jbhifi with the same person at the same time whether they need to do two credit enquirers or if they can do just one?

    I would like both but don’t want to take the double hit on my credit file.

    I am starting to hate these selected deals from JB HIFI
    Before they offer deals before where most of Australia could not go into a store to get it because of lockdown
    Now selected areas like Melbourne Metro.

    • Garagesale on 28/10/2021 - 14:11

      Apartheid! Next it will only be for the faxed!

  • blitheguy on 28/10/2021 - 10:41

    Called the store, didn't go ahead with the plan as JB confirmed that you can not add Telstra 10$ international calling pack to these JB plans.(69$ and 99$).
    On a side note, the store offered a 1000$ gift card for the 99$ plan which effectively becomes 89$pm with 10$ port-in credit pm for 24 months

  • yojabbajabba on 28/10/2021 - 10:56

    So, here's how it's gone for me:
    I called my local JB and asked for the mobile team. Head of mobile team asked me to fill in a Request a Callback form - follow the link within. From there they call back and will arrange over the phone. They wouldn't do the transaction off a cold-call; and would'nt call back without filling out the request form.

    Things that they disclosed in this first phone call:
    1) They asked how long I was with my current provider (AGL 3-months free for 32 days)
    2) They asked if I was on pre-paid or post-paid)
    3) The rep at my store clarified the current T&Cs and the $69/month plan does indeed include a $500 JB HiFi gift card. In the notes it says that reps are to encourage buyers to use the $500 GC on a Google Pixel 6. I immediately told the rep that I was encouraged by the notion of using the gift card for said phone. The Gift Card is not bound to handset usage only.
    4) They said they'd call back later today/early tomorrow and sort the rest out over another phone call. Remember to have your account number handy for your existing account.

    From this experience, I would definitely call the 'local' JB first to check that the store's team is well abreast with how the process should work.

    I called up JB-hifi Chadstone, they said it's 69 bucks for 80 gigs data and $500 gift card ONLY if you purchase the new Pixel 6. If you go for any other purchase, it's 400 bucks. I guess it depends on each store and what offer they have on the table around this deal.

    • hubs1982 on 28/10/2021 - 13:29

      Probably go to another store. I am picking the SIM up later today and there was no mention of Pixel 6 with the gift card during the phone call.

      • cauilfield on 29/10/2021 - 10:52

        how did you go with the gift card?

    • interstellar on 28/10/2021 - 13:52

      Not sure why you were told NO. I submitted a call back form today morning, got a call just now. He initially said it’s only available to be used against pixel phone. I told him I am referring to Ozbargain forums and other stores are honouring this deal. He immediately said all good, and he will honour it. I remember this guy’s voice and he is a nice person to deal with, as I have got similar deals from him in the past in-store and he surely recognises Ozbargain. Try again and hopefully you will be treated better..

        I picked up my sim and $500 from prahran today. It’s not tied to a pixel. There’s a big blurb on their system messages that explains the lockdown deal

  • cauilfield on 28/10/2021 - 20:22

    do they currently check if you've been out of telstra for more than 30 days?

    can you still get $10pm credit? is it for port-in or new?

    • nxllson on 28/10/2021 - 21:23

      Managed to get $10 p/m credit for 6 months. Doesn't look like the 12 months credit was available - but I'm happy this was done with my first customer support interaction.

      • JaeTee on 29/10/2021 - 01:51

        My deal from last yr expired a week ago. I contacted support via chat to try to get $10 off to stay on (was waiting for this deal) and they just outright refused no matter what I said. At the end I ported out to Optus which has a month to month deal special for $65 that gives 500Gb. I need the data for the next few months and will port back the next time this deal runs hopefully on $59 again

      • Bambini88 on 29/10/2021 - 21:40

        From my experience its 12 months, and to confirm , i just did it for my sister just now and i was also able to get 12 month of 10 dollar credit.

        • JaeTee on 29/10/2021 - 23:01

          Probably the difference is the $10 is for a new 12 months contract while I was trying to get it for my expired contract which is now on month to month. Either that or I was unlucky with the person on chat

  • nxllson on 28/10/2021 - 21:23

        Ring direct - I'd already requested a call back a few days ago but they didn't follow up. They'll need the form filled in though.

    Called up 8 stores in Melbourne's north this morning looking for a Pro. 6 of them were completely sold out. 2 of them only had the 128GB in Sorta Sunny. Both stores wouldn't do click and collect though. Said to put a hold on it and come in after 6PM.

  • VicGG on 29/10/2021 - 19:12

    Just got my $500 gift card from forest hill chase jb.
    One of the staff said it's only for pixel 6 but a different rep still did it for me as a standard gift card.
