      Nope, not when you can regularly buy gift cards at a discount or with points bonus (~10%) it doesn’t.

        • cc23 on 16/07/2022 - 13:02
          +12

          It lowers the effective value of the gift card to $1080. Making the ‘cost’ per month $54

      Works out a lot less if you can claim back tax too

      • Mr Frodo on 16/07/2022 - 10:03

        Can you claim on the $99×24 as well as the $1200 when, say, a laptop is bought?

        • CecilTheChair on 16/07/2022 - 10:07

          You can claim a percentage of your mobile contract if you use it for work purposes. The invoice will be $99 so say 50% work usage, then apply your tax rate

        • wellzi on 16/07/2022 - 10:08

          Very possibly! You get bills from Telstra for the phone plan, and a purchase receipt from JB when you buy a product.

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 16/07/2022 - 10:50

          Yes, payments made with gift vouchers are tax deductible, even if you didn't buy them.

          • BargainBenno on 16/07/2022 - 13:41
            +2

            @JohnHowardsEyebrows: Actually if you use gift cards to buy an item that is being claimed on tax, the tax office needs to see evidence that the gift cards were purchased by the claimant otherwise there is no evidence to say that the expense was incurred by the claimant. The gift cards may have been given as a Xmas present to the claimant by the employer in which case the company would have already claimed a deduction on the cards. Just a technicality but my accountant always needs the receipt for the gift card purchases to ensure I insured the original expense. Nothing to stop you getting fly bus or everyday resets points though from buying the gift cards at Coles or woolies.

            • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 16/07/2022 - 13:54

              @BargainBenno: Possibly…but you are entitled to claim a deduction for vouchers given to you as a gift e.g. from family. Same as would apply if friends or family give you an asset, it can then be depreciated if using for income generating purposes.

              Unless you're likely to be audited (which would mean other, more significant flags), I'd say there's little issue with claiming things bought with free vouchers on tax.

              • Royale with cheese on 16/07/2022 - 14:20

                @JohnHowardsEyebrows: I agree. It's your money after all. You could have bought a playstation or a s*x doll but you bought a laptop which allowed you to work with the giftcard instead (apart from dodgy sights unless you work on OF) so why should the tax man bother about how you spent your money. You are only claiming depreciation of an asset

                • donkeydoc on 16/07/2022 - 17:09

                  @Royale with cheese: What if you win a PC worth 8k, can you claim 50% for work? XD

                  • Royale with cheese on 16/07/2022 - 23:14

                    @donkeydoc: I don't see a reason why not. I imagine it may be an overkill for my work but some may justify. And you never get 100% back, just the depreciation so go for it if you can afford

      Thank you, just sat in MS Calc myself. Seems a bit high. Lots of data, sure but I kinda am averse to $50 a month.

      I'd prefer $20 a month and a smaller JB card TBH.
      (or smaller data!) either way too pricey.

          Yes, I got a free iPhone 12 mini with a $40 per month plan for 2 years. So altogether I paid $960 over 2 years, and the phone is worth similar amount. So the plan is basically free. It comes with 40G per month.

          • 2024 on 16/07/2022 - 14:32

            @crazyrichasians: I got the iPhone 12 mini on the 99x12month, sold the mini for a grand, and so only had to pay my phone bill 2 months for the year.
            I'm back on woolworths for a month waiting for another decent 12month plan deal.

            On top of that, I found 1 month of my phone bill was nothing but work calls, and so all 12 months was just tax deducted.

            • srhardy on 16/07/2022 - 23:08

              @2024: Telstra? Should have asked for the $10-20 a month port in credit too

              • 2024 on 16/07/2022 - 23:13

                @srhardy: Yep the Jb hifi deal in June last year.

                I tried about 5 times for the port in cdedit but no one would budge so I gave up.
                People seem to get pretty lucky with it, I didn't have the time or energy to waste.

      • Maths Debater on 16/07/2022 - 17:26

        Exactly.
        $1200 is pretty enticing but I don't need a $99/m phone plan. If they allowed any plan, I would have taken the bait.

  • R14 on 16/07/2022 - 09:39

    Any chance for $20 credit back?

    • hawkeye93 on 16/07/2022 - 11:52

      Give it a try via Telstra chat.

      • B3 on 16/07/2022 - 13:15

        I don't understand how this works. You've already locked yourself into a 2y contract with them so why would they give you a discount?

        I assume you do the negotiating before you sign the contract?

        • BargainsGrabber on 16/07/2022 - 14:43

          R14 was referring to the $10/$20 per month port in credit

            @BargainsGrabber: Can you provide some details about how that port in credit might work?

            I ring up and say 'I am already legally forced to pay you $99 a month but will you be nice and let me pay $79 a month instead for no reason at all?'

            LIke I said, I don't understand this.

              +1

              @B3: There’s plenty of ppl across multiple JB Telstra deal posts have got their port in credit. Just hop onto the Telstra chat and say that I’m porting my number across and my mate has received xx amount of port in credit. You could be lucky on your first try but it depends on the Telstra live chat agent. If it doesn’t work, keep trying until you get an agent that allows

              Something along those lines. Good luck!

                  +1

                  @B3: Basically, you have to use any type of excuse to get the $20 credit, it is at the discretion of the Telstra operator to give it to you.

                  Once you get an operator who doesn’t care if they should or should not give the credit to you, then you’ve hit the jackpot for securing the $20 credit. So it is up to you to be polite enough and claim any type of excuse that makes them believe you should get it.

                  Anyway, after I realised this, I no longer call up for the $10-20 credit, this is because it is not a rule they should give you that credit, you are just hassling the Telstra operator until one of them decides to give it to you.

    So essentially get a free iPhone 12 with a $49/m for 2 years?

    iPhone 12 sale value in 2 years probably 550+ still..

    $49x24=$1176, minus $550ish = $626

    $626 / 24 months = $25.98 per month

    Not tooooooo bad

    • linkii on 16/07/2022 - 09:43

      Isn't the plan $99 per month?

      If you are selling the gift card to reduce the monthly costs, how do you end up with the free iphone?

    • JDMcarfan on 16/07/2022 - 09:46
      +3

      Made a mistake with your maths.
      $49 is the after-gc cost. So it’s more like free iPhone 12 with $99/m for 2 years.
      Again using your maths but corrected.
      $99x$24=$2352 minus $550ish= $1800
      $1800/$24= $75pm

      You'll need to pay an Early Termination Charge (ETC) equal to 50% of your monthly fee for the months (or part months) remaining in your plan term. The maximum ETC for your plan is set out in the above table. In addition to this, you'll also need to reimburse Telstra for any vouchers you received for entering into your plan. This Voucher Reimbursement Cancellation Fee is pro-rated, equal to the total amount of the base voucher divided by 12 and multiplied by months (or part months) remaining in your plan term. This charge will appear on your Telstra bill, the maximum of which is also set out in the table.

        Quality of service mostly, although I do it via Boost.

        Maybe they have fixed their game now, but for example I personally experienced Vodafone making it appear that a call was ringing but it never actually rang the persons mobile due to congestion.

        Optus I wouldn't touch as I have had multiple billing mistakes in the past that always seem to be in their favour.

        • BatmanAU on 18/07/2022 - 13:38

          I have had a tonne of their providers over the years, Boost, Moose, Aldi, TPG, Amaysim etc.

          The only issues I have EVER had have been directly with Telstra and Optus. Optus were okay with fixing my issue, With Telstra I took to TIO, hopeless and never ever ever again!
