Apple, as usual, is running their annual Black Friday event

Works out to be $319 after receiving the gift card, and the gift card can be used on future purchases. You won't need to worry about Apple going insolvent, unlike Deliveroo

Stack with discounted gift cards for even further discounts. Coles currently have 15% off TCN GCs

On top of this, stack with 10% upsized cashback from Cashrewards as well

From @bargainsgrabber's comment: the AirPods Pro 2 should be an all time low after factoring in the bonus apple gift card and cashback

10% Cashback (excl. GST) from Cashrewards should hopefully discount this a further $35 (estimate) and if using 10% off gift cards, you can save another $401

So final cost will be $399 - $40 - $35 = $324 (+ bonus $80 Apple Gift Card on top)

Adding on the $80 bonus gift card from Apple brings the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen down to a whopping $244 using cashback (the lowest ever for the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen), or at the very least $279 without cashback

All time low was $319

    Fingers cross for an upsize Apple cashback. If there is one, the AirPods Pro 2 should be an all time low after factoring in the bonus apple gift card and cashback

    $399 - $40 (Note 1) = $359 + bonus $80 Apple GC

    Potentially could end up at $322 if there’s a 10% upsize Cashrewards cashback with the sale

    Note 1: Purchase $400 Apple GC from Coles to be returned in the form of Flybuys or from BIG W/ Aldi(redeem it at JB for Apple GC) to have 10% off straight discount

      Obviously it would still be a good deal but Apple pulled some trickery before when I purchased airtags with bonus gift card and upsized cashback. By memory they deducted the gift card amount off the tax invoice. In this case for example your invoice would show you paid $319 (despite paying $399 and getting a bonus $80 gift card) total and you would only get cashback on the $319.

      • littlesoldier on 17/11/2022 - 22:43

        still not bad if its 10% cashback on $319 tho
        (given its stack with 10% off Apple GC + $80 Apple GC bonus)

        • teraquis on 20/11/2022 - 13:07

          It’s in the CashRewards terms that the cashback doesn’t apply to purchases of gift cards. Since the APP2 would be “discounted” by the cost of the gift card, any cashback (if any) would be on the discounted amount.

      Didn’t seem to care when the flight deal was duplicated word for word 😂

  • littlesoldier on 17/11/2022 - 22:17

    This is a great deal as you can pay via apple GC or apple credit (which is 10% off in flybuys points from coles currently) https://www.coles.com.au/catalogues-and-specials/view-all#vi…
    and you can also get cashback (last year cashrewards was offering 10% cashback on Apple, not sure about this year)

    • Atlantictaiwan on 17/11/2022 - 22:19

      But you can’t stack gift card and cashback!

      • I Smell Pennies on 17/11/2022 - 22:21

        When I ordered my MBP I added all my gift cards onto my Apple ID account, and still got cashback approved. What do you mean?

        According to Cashrewards: https://www.cashrewards.com.au/apple

        Cashback is eligible on purchases paid with gift cards

      • littlesoldier on 17/11/2022 - 22:22
        +1

        Unless things have changes
        Last year I used my apple credits to pay for Airpod 3
        Spend $1 on ANZ credit card (for cashrewards Max) + apple credit (for remaining balance)
        Got the full 10% cashback from CR and the bonus Apple GC

        So meaning you can stack if you pay via Apple credits (just load the GC to your apple account first)

    • 3235113 on 17/11/2022 - 23:05

      Have you paid via (ideally discounted) giftcards previously and still gotten the bonus gift cards? I couldn't determine from the T&Cs…

        You should be able to. It's treated like cash at the end of the day

        • smartpals on 24/11/2022 - 09:55

          Just got this reply from Apple sales agent via chat :

          "To set friendly expectation, when placing an Order online at the Apple website, the option to use an Apple Gift cards will be unable, and will not appear on the checkout payment page. As you'll only have the option to use your personal credit/debit card."

      • littlesoldier on 17/11/2022 - 23:08
        +2

        yes, they are separated
        When you add the item to the card (eg. the Airpod pro 2)
        The bonus GC will also added to the cart, and applied the discount (eg. it added $80 then deduct $80)

        When it goes to the payment page, you choose whatever payment method (eg. Credit card, apple credit, GC etc)
        which will not affect the items that already added in the cart (the airpod pro + the bonus GC)

        • 3235113 on 17/11/2022 - 23:13

          Thats logical and great news!

        • olympicwiz on 18/11/2022 - 08:21

          Does it mean if $80 bonus can be applied on the purchase, you only need $320 in Gift Cards to complete the transaction?

    • Atlantictaiwan on 18/11/2022 - 06:45

      The question should be what happens to the apple gift cards when I expire.

  • winteroce on 18/11/2022 - 01:30

    As per T&C's

    At a Qualifying Location: Customers who purchase an Eligible Product in a Qualifying Location during the Promotion Period shall receive a discount equal to the value of the Promotion Product (depending on their purchase, as set forth below) off the price of the Eligible Product. Customers will be charged for all items in their bag, including the Promotion Product.

    So, instead of gift card, it's a discount on the actual product.

    • Bacons on 18/11/2022 - 01:39

      more like
      Subtotal:
      $400+$80 APP 2 + GC

        No, the gift card is rung up as full price and the AirPods are discounted by $80.

        • Bacons on 18/11/2022 - 10:54

          ok that makes sense. Does this affect gift card usage? Like if its $320 APP2 + $80 GC can I pay for everything with GC or only the $320 with GC?

            @Bacons: From memory you should be fine to pay the total with GCs.

            +1

            @Bacons: Your two questions are basically the same lol. Essentially checkout will be $320 and you can pay in full with Gift Cards, or partially in Gift Cards. Up to you on how you want to pay. The $80 bonus Gift Card can only be used for a future purchase on the Apple store or App store

            • Bacons on 18/11/2022 - 11:09

              @I Smell Pennies: no its not the same, I'm essentially asking if you can pay for apple GC using apple GCs, which Ozymandias says should be fine. And I'm pretty sure checkout is $400 (320+80) why would it be $320?

  • fan8956 on 18/11/2022 - 08:04

    I feel statements like "it's $400 but you get a $80 gift card to use later, so it's $320" should get your OzB badge revoked.

    It's $400 and then you have to spend more to get something reduced by $80. If you really have something else to buy it's going to work for you, but in no way you can state these airpods are $320.

    • entropysbane on 25/11/2022 - 06:26

      It would be pretty obvious that for a lot of people it is a good deal.
      Anyone with a subscription to any Apple service (it would be more than four months of a family Apple Music subscription for example), someone to buy or rent something like a movie from iTunes, or anyone wanting to buy Apple hardware. Any hardware at all.
      And it never expires. If only other gift cards were like this.

      Would it be ultimate to get the cash straight up? Yes. But this is still pretty good.

        In other cases, someone would fall for thinking that if there's 2 in price for 1, then the whole thing is free.

        Is it true? Obviously not.
        Is such a statement useful to anyone? No.

        • entropysbane on 25/11/2022 - 11:52

          • pizzaguy on 25/11/2022 - 12:49

            @entropysbane: Because you spend eg. $10 on a product and you get a $10 for free, hey! $10 spent, $10 received, no?

            I appreciate the discussion, but I still feel the statements like the one in question are just false. It's all the marketing BS we're trying not to fall for. Good on you staying watchful.

            • syswong on 25/11/2022 - 13:15

              @pizzaguy: SERIOUSLY!! You think Apple will do a deal that give you bonus GC that you can use before the purchase?🤣🤣🤣

              In fact 99% bonus gift card for a purchase is provided after initial purchase is completed!! Yes certain in store deals had the card used with the purchase and that is because the sale person is desperate or helpful.

              Anyone who even bring up this question need their brains check…😓😅

              • pizzaguy on 25/11/2022 - 13:42

                @syswong: Nah, I never thought any of that, but I keep thinking how stubborn people can be not to admit that having to spend at least $399 doesn't equal spending $320.

                Yes, you can leverage this situation. But you'll never get those airpods for $320 in this case.

                  @pizzaguy: just discounted GC + Cash Reward comes 322.9 which is quite close. Then you get $80 bonus.

                  Traveling in 60 days you get another 10% off……

    Thank you, OP, for sharing this, and the other wonderful information along with it.

    Might I add that folks can pay via HSBC Everyday Global card for a further 2% off of their purchase, if they are purchasing Apple gift cards from Coles - just purchase in denominations < $100 (tap & pay limit for cashback).

    Also, on Apple's website, it says that purchase of AirPods "will get up to a A$120 Apple Gift Card" (while your title says $80).

    • I Smell Pennies on 24/11/2022 - 09:55

      According to T&Cs:

      Both the Promotion Product received along with the Eligible Product purchased must be returned in order to receive a full refund or exchange. If either the Eligible Product or Promotion Product is missing, is not returned or has been redeemed, the full original value of that Eligible Product or Promotion Product will be charged.

      So good luck

      Based on experience from past two Apple Black Friday events:
      If you purchase instore, the gift card and apple product are handed over immediately.
      If you purchase via their online store for click and collect, the gift card is emailed once you collect (or could be immediately).
      If getting a delivery, the gift card is isssued via email once your products ship.

      Apple reduces the price or the Pro by the $80 gift card on the invoice to show $319 for the Pro and $80 GC, so you will only get $319 back if you return the Pro.
