I just spoke with JB-Hifi today about Telstra 5G plans. In-store, the $500 gift card offer on the $69 plan is back for today only (normally $300).

[edit] I can confirm that the offer is active, just went to the store and did it myself.
They also offer the $99 150gb 24-month plan with $1200 gift card, but that’s no deal from me.

$10 porting credit is still possible according to some comments below such as this and this.

It is possible to sign up this even if you have not ported out of Telstra for more than 30 days according to danlmoore and tryonthis.

      All JB Hi-fi stores. I called JB over the phone.

        • Buy2Much on 08/12/2021 - 14:36

          When I went to the store, they checked their intranet before I signed up. The $69 $500 GC offer was on there so I guess all JB’s should have the offer.

        • BargainBuddyoz on 08/12/2021 - 14:23

          i asked them the same and they refused :(
          so if i port my optus to telstra in a jbhifi store and then ask for credit, will i be eligible then?

        • Pogo on 08/12/2021 - 14:40

        • ledgisv2 on 10/12/2021 - 22:16

    • Neilzy on 08/12/2021 - 11:55

      I think it depends on the JB rep you get and whether they check your billing account. My rep didn’t check and I had only left Telstra for 4 days before porting back in haha. But I have read that other reps have checked and turned people away.

      • Nick K on 08/12/2021 - 12:16
        +3

        My rep checked by going through my sms to see the port out date. I think that is rude to go through my personal messages.

        • altman on 08/12/2021 - 12:25

          That seems highly unprofessional.

          • michaelroper on 08/12/2021 - 12:49

            @altman: I would guess that the rep isn't actually reading their personal messages, but rather could probably see a list of the communications that were sent from Telstra regarding that account.

          Say you deleted the text?

    • coolness79 on 08/12/2021 - 13:37

      they can do it today but you only port after a few days. they did this for me last year.

    • moonpen on 08/12/2021 - 16:11

      Managed to get away with it today at JB Highpoint. Had 2 days left since port out and the rep asked the manager.

    • zoniec on 08/12/2021 - 16:56

      Think it depends on the store/rep. When I was asked which network I was currently on I provided the name of my new network and didn’t provide the background of when I ported. Nor did the rep ask.

  • kazuyamishima on 08/12/2021 - 11:45

    Interesting, I ported my number which finalised with telstra about a month ago and Switched to Optus waiting for this type of deal.

    But Optus offered me a 25% discount on the $55 80Gb/month since I have another service with them. And they also are offering 6 months free of Amazon Prime so more savings against a $500 JB Hi-Fi GC to use.

    Mmmm…. decisions.

    • THX on 08/12/2021 - 11:51

      Go with Optus and find a good deal on outright mobile phone

    • Munki on 08/12/2021 - 12:24

      I'm getting 50% off my second service….

      • T-man on 08/12/2021 - 15:00

        How? Is that targeted offer? On sim only plans or data plans? I got 50% off on data plans

        • Munki on 08/12/2021 - 15:03

          It was a long running promotion a while ago, and was something I asked with a chat rep. I don't think it's advertised any where. Maybe it was replaced with this 25% discount.

    • Snoop on 08/12/2021 - 22:43

      We did the same… 25% off $65 200GB plan, with an extra $10 bonus credit p/m thrown in.
      Unfortunately we're both about to switch back out of this deal as we've had several reports from friends and clients that our "phone number is not in service!"

    Optus network is not as good as Telstra’s coverage, plus prime is $7 a month. Reckon the Jb deal is much better

          Can you please clarify the process - with JB HiFi, and with Telstra? I have 1 JB HiFi Telstra account, and 1 myTelstra account which it's attached to. Do I tell JB nothing and become a new customer, don't attach the new number to myTelstra, then contact Telstra and ask them to merge the JB HiFi Telstra accounts, or something else? Thanks.

            +3

            @Gav: Sign up at JB HiFi for a new service. That service will be added to your Telstra account (which will now show 2x Telstra services). When you get home, jump onto the online chat and ask the rep that you would like to cancel your out-of-contract service, but you would like to retain that mobile number and have it applied to the service you signed up for today. Most reps know what you're looking to do… if they don't, close the chat and try again.

            • Gav on 08/12/2021 - 12:29

              @tryonthis: Thanks. When you say "that service will be added to your telstra account", how does that happen? Am I telling JB HiFi I have an existing service/Telstra account and would like to add another service to the existing Telstra account?

              • tryonthis on 08/12/2021 - 12:41
                +1

                @Gav: When you go to sign up for a new service, you'll hand them your ID and they'll look you up to see that you already have an existing service(s). The new service will be automatically added to your Telstra account.

                yep, the rep said i was able to get the $10 port in credit on my new plan
                that i had to speak to telstra to have it applied

                "Thanks for that and don't worry, since you have me here on the line, I will now apply the $10/month credit for 12 months which is a welcome discount for porting your number. This will be applied on your account today and will reflect starting next billing statement."

        • dylc on 09/12/2021 - 12:18

    • danlmoore on 08/12/2021 - 13:25

      Did this on black friday, has worked fine for the past 3 years.

      • Open new plan on same Telstra account in store with rep, I talked to them about how I just wanted the gift card and port my number over later, they don't care and it was obvious as my current 12 month plan ended a day later following last years deal.

      • On Telstra chat ask for $10 port in discount on new plan, first agent was happy to add the discount to my account - asked if I received an email telling me about the deal and I just said my friend was given the discount through the app last week so I'd like to know if I am eligible.

      • New chat, ask to change old (existing) number to any random number, and change the new plan to the old number (took 3 tries to get an agent who understood english, final agent who understood completed it in about 10 mins).

      • End old service in Telstra app.

      • steveb123 on 08/12/2021 - 15:48

        this is what the live chat said about your number swapping point:

        "Thank you so much for that. Upon checking here, these numbers are listed on your account and the contract/plan is connected to the numbers. Thus, as of this moment, we can't switch plan."

        • danlmoore on 08/12/2021 - 16:05
          +1

          Just say thanks and close the chat then try again with a different agent, this was how he phrased it when I was successful.

          "Let me try to raise a new number for the number ending in XXX793 with a new one and get back to you with an update, and later we can change the XXX620 to the XXX793, is that okay.?"

          They can't swap the numbers as they are both currently in use, have to temporarily disconnect the first number and hope it doesn't get snapped up in the 5 minutes between.

          • steveb123 on 08/12/2021 - 16:13

            @danlmoore: is this something i can do instore?
