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.

        I can read that 12 months in title, but got confused when people talked about porting out before that

        • moonpen on 08/12/2021 - 12:41

          There is a 1 month cooling off period after porting out from Telstra before you can port back in.

            @moonpen: There really isn't a 1 month cooling off. From prepaid that is.

            • Inflow on 08/12/2021 - 19:20

              @Inflow: This time got rejected, so yeah wait one month.

          The deal os for *NEW customers only. So people try to move (port) their telstra account to another provider(eg. Optus, voda) and then go to JBhifi to sign up for the deal.

          The only issue is that JBhifi normally says you have to be with a different b3twork for at least 1 month before they will consider you as a *NEW customer 🌱

          damn man….you can't call someone out when you can't do it properly yourself

  • stevelo on 08/12/2021 - 12:40

    I guess this plan doesn't include int calls (USA), hope i am wrong.

    • Buy2Much on 08/12/2021 - 12:45

      No international calls. However the Telstra prepaid include them. Go figure.

    • Agret on 08/12/2021 - 14:11

      If you want Telstra network with unlimited USA calls the best option is Boost prepaid on the 12 month plans

      https://boost.com.au/pages/prepaid-plans

      $180 for 12 months works out to $15 per month

  • Bar Gainz on 08/12/2021 - 12:43

    What is the extra $10 credit and how does that get applied? What is Telstra’s criteria for a new contract when porting from Optus? I’m currently out of work due to the situation so would they still give a contract?

    • Schmerkin on 08/12/2021 - 13:05

      Thought you could always get 1 phone plan regardless of employment status… subsequent ones required credit check, proof on income etc..?

      • Royale with cheese on 08/12/2021 - 13:20
        +1

        $10-$15 port in credit from telstra chat but you have to be persistent and patient.

        • [Deactivated] on 08/12/2021 - 20:24

          I asked for $10, just said it was mentioned to me in the store and that I realised shortly after I signed up that telstra's 5g pricing was not very price competitive to optus so wanted to get that applied.

          • K-Daddy on 11/12/2021 - 06:18

            @[Deactivated]: So how does it work? You signed up with JB to get the gift card then bargain the $10 credit with Telstra afterward or do we bargain that with JB in store? I don’t think JB Hi Fi can do that?

            • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2021 - 10:40

              @K-Daddy: Bargain with Telstra afterward in the Telstra app using their chat

  • regenade on 08/12/2021 - 12:46

    I heard that the 24 Month plan have $1200 Gift card for today as well ?

    • shegeloaf on 08/12/2021 - 12:48

      I am not going on a $70/m contract for 24 months.

    • Buy2Much on 08/12/2021 - 12:49

      Correct, I was told that too, works out $49/month after GC, so no deal from me.

  • regenade on 08/12/2021 - 12:46

    Also you can stack this deal with the $200 Pixel Trade up saga

  • dwhes on 08/12/2021 - 12:49

    Any mention of the $99 200gb plan with a $30 credit and gift card? I missed that one and was keen to get it if it came back.

    • Buy2Much on 08/12/2021 - 12:49

      The deal is long gone, I did ask. Apparently came with $1200 GC!

      • dwhes on 08/12/2021 - 12:50

        Damn :(

      • JSONBourne on 08/12/2021 - 14:02

        Only $1200 for the 24 month plan. Otherwise the standard $500 for 12 months.

  • lachhelix on 08/12/2021 - 12:49

    Curious (slightly unrelated) - if you choose to port your number across to Telstra, are you able to request a new (replacement) number at some point down the track within the contract period?

  • thrillho on 08/12/2021 - 12:50

    Any wiki on how to port out from Telstra, to then port back in with a deal like this? My last one from Nov last year expired and looking to get another voucher.

  • thrillho on 08/12/2021 - 12:53

    Another question, do other providers (Optus, Vodafone) do deals like this? I only really see Telstra!

    • he11bent on 08/12/2021 - 12:55

      Yes, but usually not JB. Harvey Norman does Optus.

      • thrillho on 08/12/2021 - 12:58

        Thanks, will keep an eye out!

  • ThatsCheap on 08/12/2021 - 13:00

    Not sure, but might be able to be combined with the 5% coupon code from yesterday for phones.

    For example the Pixel 6 would be $500 Credit + $449 cash

  • Budgie Smuggler on 08/12/2021 - 13:00

    Same deal at Good Guys today only.

  • liang on 08/12/2021 - 13:04

    Why is today only? Will this be possible on Xmas or New Year?

  • bac0n on 08/12/2021 - 13:04

    Does anyone have recent experience on changing plans from this JB-Hifi plan to Telstra's month to month plans before the 12 months is up?

    In the past, people were claiming to do so shortly after signing up with no specific early termination fee applying.

    • Munki on 08/12/2021 - 13:16

      Have done so before, but I think it was a stuff up on the part of JB's set up when they did my wife's contract. Signed her number up to this deal and looked into the contract details in MyTelstra a couple of months later when they did 150GB for $65/month. It didn't have an end date for her plan in MyTelstra. So I was able to "upgrade" to that plan and broke the JB contract without an ETC fee.

      Other people have claimed they were able to talk to chat to "upgrade" to a Telstra month-to-month plan, but apparently that loophole has been closed off now.

    • bloopzorm9 on 08/12/2021 - 14:00

      They have updated the ETC to also include the gift card, so even if you were able to port out without the standard ETC, you would probably still get slugged for the gift card

  • naedtrax on 08/12/2021 - 13:06

    My old plan ended at the end of September(the old 69-10 a month and gift card promo) am I eligible for this?

    • aussiekid on 08/12/2021 - 14:42

      Yes. I was on the same.

      • Fredfloresjr on 08/12/2021 - 15:14

        Mine was ended on September too but I still use their service without contract. Are we eligible for this? Or do we have to jump to different provider first for 12 months?

          Just port to another prepaid sim, for e.g. Kogan and then head to the store and say you want to port in to this plan. Some say you have to wait 30 days. but I never had to wait any time.

          • Fredfloresjr on 08/12/2021 - 16:16

            @Inflow: Thank you

            • Inflow on 08/12/2021 - 19:21

              @Fredfloresjr: edit: it has to be 30 days, really depends if the rep checks or not, since last 3 times they never bothered too.

        • aussiekid on 08/12/2021 - 16:23

    • emilyfarry23 on 08/12/2021 - 18:04

      I messaged Telstra through the app and asked for the $15 per month credit. They came back and said they could do $10 instead. Not too bad!

    • Inflow on 08/12/2021 - 15:15

      399 + 69* 12 = $1227 minus $999 phone = $228, $10 p/m off from Telstra = $108

      the $500 g/c is basically = $228 with $10p/m off. so yes the $399 one is cheaper if you want to get a pixel 6.

  • Orbilf on 08/12/2021 - 13:33

  • dylan123 on 08/12/2021 - 13:56

      Can be very difficult to get the $10 nowadays but you still can

    • brotos on 08/12/2021 - 15:33

      I did it a couple weeks ago pretty easily. Just tell the chat person that the JB sales person had told you to contact telstra for the $10 port in.

  • A female dog on 08/12/2021 - 14:09

    Just went in store @ Jb hifi Mount Druitt and the rep there told me they’re not running this promotion.

    He did mention the 24 month plan promo as well as the $300 promo but not the $500 gift card.

    The rep was rude and adamant no such promo was running despite advising him that other jb stores were running the promo.

    Might be an isolated incident but the rep was extremely rude about it. Left within 2 mins of entering the store.

    • Inflow on 08/12/2021 - 14:17

        Interesting, did he even look up their system? My rep opened up their JB intranet and showed me the deals they are running today, the $69 plan had $500 GC or $500 credit towards phone.

        • Inflow on 08/12/2021 - 14:28

        i said truthfully, i had been epicly stuffed around by jb and the sales guy mentioned I could get a $15/month apology credit for 12 months (untruthfully).

        They instantly said cant do $15, will do $10.

        Tried to fight it, but chat got disconnected, while I was trying to re-connect I got the email saying changes had been made to account to reflect $10/month credit.
        I figured I could probably waste a good couple of hours fighting it, but thought it wasn't worth the $60 to be saved
