BONUSCARE

Ok, so here is what I just did…

  1. Clicked through via Shopback (current 8% offer announced today I believe).
  2. Ordered S23 Ultra 512 (Graphite Grey - Online Exclusive).
  3. Added Galaxy Buds2 Pro (Graphite Grey).
  4. Added Samsung Care+, 24 months.
  5. Added promo code "BONUSCARE".

The Pre order gave a $250 e-voucher like so many other places have. The took the Bud2 Pro's from $299 to $49.
Pre order offer also included 50% on samsung care for 24 months.
Using the "BONUSCARE" code - this took the remaining 50% charge of the Samsung Device care to $0.
Placed the order using a CC with screen cover included (not that its needed due to device card, but hell… why not, right?)

All items in the order will ship on the pre-order shipping date: 15 Feb 2023

"Total savings:$724.50"
Not including the cashback from Shopback.

Calculating (rounded):
Total cost of : $1998 order
- GST: $181
Ex GST: $1816
- 8% (expired) confirmed as tracked (just hope its approved) Shopback: $144

$1998 - $144 = $1854

Roll the dice and see how you go.

Should work the same way with all the other models too. S23, S23U, and variation on the storage sizing etc (excluding those without the double storage offer).

I also used some of my Samsung Rewards Points, so its actually a bit cheaper.
You can also use the trade in offer also, if you have an old phone lying around, or buy something from ebay or gumtree for under $300 and want the bonus trade in credit (min $300 for eligable devices. I keep all mine, and cant be stuffed going out to pick something up from anyone else…) So if you want and find something on your way home from the office or the likes… Grab one a 2nd hand one and take off another $300. Just make sure it in the list.

Oh, and if you subscribe to it - best add in some flowers for your partner, or chocolate, or beers, whatever it is that work and whatever way you play it!

I'll just buy myself something else today. ha!

Happy OzB'ing…!

Update - 15/02/24: Cash Back values updated…
SB has revised the cash back to 5% today (normally 2.8% was 8% yesterday)
CR is at 6% today.

*** WBC CC CUSTOMERS: ***
Just logged into Westpac, looks like the WBC Sammy portal is listed again.
Shopping carted the same order and same code (bonuscare) - comes out at $40 cheaper than yesterday.
Total: $1958

Looks like the phone is $40 less by way of WBC discount. No big deal. I'll keep my previous order in the system. Too myc stuffing around for a $40 saving.

        75% huh?
        Straight out discount on the device you think?

        I'd say not…

        If so - $50 says it wont be 75% straight up discount on the new device (current value)…

        Today + 9 months….
        "Tuesday, 14 November 2023"

        RRP today $2249
        - 75% = $562.25 selling price in 9 months for a new device… interesting call!

        $50… keen? :)

        Otherwise, clarify… Keen to see where people think this will go. ha!

                  @Spendmore: Have to disagree. The lack of choice regarding Samsung apps sucks. They are there and you can't get rid of them, want to use the Google phone app? Gotta keep the Samsung one..
                  Also I get galaxy store notifications which can't be disabled, I've never used the galaxy store and don't plan to.

                  Basically if you like using Google apps and you have previously had a pixel phone, moving to Samsung feels like you're paying $$$ for Samsung force their apps on you.

                    @DeToxin: I just installed google phone and was given the option to set as default, i cant hide the samsung app though but thats a minor inconvenience.
                    I had a huawei previously and i git pop ups from their own app store a lot more than samsung.

                      @Spendmore: I've already done that a couple of times and sporadically get requests to set my default phone app again.
                      I understand there are other manufacturers who have even worse software, but those are considerably cheaper.
                      Samsung have gotten a bit better by reducing the amount of bloatware they preinstall but it's still garbage having a suite of apps forced on you when you're paying a premium for an android device.
                      I'm not sure what the pixel 6 & 7 are like because my last pixel device was a 3xl, maybe everyone's forcing their apps nowdays.
                      I just figure that for $1k+ I shouldn't have to keep a bunch of garbage apps that Samsung install for the sake of it

            @sktzr: That's how Samsung work. they don't want to ever reduce the retail price or have a sale without a catch because then people who bought it outright and paid full price get annoyed. But effectively do reduce the price buy huge amounts very quickly. Sometimes that might require having or even buying an old samsung phones like an S8 or S9 for the trade in bonus.

            • Wooluff on 14/02/2023 - 22:07

              @bobvegas: Idk if there's other perks to trade-ins, but they'll give you a whopping $5 for an S8 and $15 for an S9. If you want a cheap Samsung device, buy refurbished from an authorized ebay seller during a good 20% off sale (22% with eBay Plus!)

              edit
              Just noticed Trade-in Value and Trade-in Bonus are different things. They'll offer like $2-300 trade-in bonus which is pretty good. Still, refurb is way cheaper lol

      I've never paid full price for an Android phone, but 30-40% off is usually the sweet spot buying most Android phone which usually happen within 3 to 9 months after release. Half price Android phones used to be possible when Grey Market phone haven't incur any GST.

      • Ash-Say on 16/02/2023 - 10:24

    • mickyb80 on 14/02/2023 - 17:57

      Yeah, you are correct.
      I'd been using a excel sheet and when revising the above post a few moments ago, noticed id had the cell reference wrong.
      Must have been updating at the time you posted. lol…

      To many sheets and emails open at the same time.

      Net result is the same though - $1998 - $144 = $1854 odd…

  • hahayo on 14/02/2023 - 17:53
    +1

    I just want to point out the GST calculation mistake.
    If the total GST included cost is $1998, the excluded GST cost would be $1998 / 1.1 = $1818.36. The GST will be $1998 - $1818.36 = $179.64.
    It's very easy to think of 10% of GST of cost, then calculate the 10% of the total cost for GST.

    So:

    Calculating (rounded):
    Total cost of : $1998 order
    - GST: $179.64.
    Ex GST: $1818.36
    - 8% confirmed as tracked (just hope its approved) Shopback: $145.47

    $1998 - $145.47 = $1852.53

    • mickyb80 on 14/02/2023 - 17:58

      Correct - as per update. Must have been at the same time as your calc.
      Had *0.1 in the cell. ha!
      Should have been /1.1
      100% correct.

      End result is the same. :)

        nothing wrong with the pixel 7. I was a note 8 - 9 user so I always wanted to have a note device.
        There are a lot of smart features on pixel device such as live transcribe and call screen. I thought I would miss them so much until I found out that the S23U has the same feature, only under different names.

    • mickyb80 on 14/02/2023 - 17:59

      • Aidan9800 on 14/02/2023 - 19:51

        Oh nice, so if I don't send my s10 (which was valued at $56 on the app) will I just be charged $31?

          From my exp, the value must be under $50, it means old model phones, then the admin fees is $30 + value of the phone for not sending the phone back. Then other cases are $60 + value. I tested on my note 9 ($1) S10+ ($1, cracked screen) $30 admin, but fold4 $60.

          So your case would be $56 + admin fees $30 or $60 (was $65 last year)

      Hard disagree. My galaxy watch malfunctioned after warranty had expired, and they still replaced it (and upgraded to the latest model) for free.

        I've got nothing but good things to say about Samsung support too.

    • tommy42069 on 15/02/2023 - 07:21

      I agree. I have had two warranty claims on Samsung phones. Last year on my S10+ it took more than 4 weeks after them telling me it would be 2-3 business days. To be fair, they eventually gave me a replacement S21+ given the delay. The screen just failed on that S21+, and again, it took 3 weeks to get the replacement after them telling me 1-2 business days. Absurdly poor service.

      • Flyinghigh on 21/02/2023 - 17:39

        If Samsung only offers repacement after we need to jump thru hoops or go to the Fair Trading, it is not a genuine service and just imagine the time and trouble we have to go thru and witbout phone for a while.

        Avoid Samsung phone. Buyer beware.

    Anyways - enough from me…
    Couple of edits, but fixed up…

    Over to you all. Seemed like a decent deal for today and OzB worthy… Worked out cheaper than anything else i could find in 30 mins.
    As always - agree and take it, or dont agree and leave it (or get it somewhere else…)

    Even with this extra stuff, still way to close to Apple pricing. Need to take at least $500 off and keep all the goodies. Pixel 7 pro, even though it has a lessor processor, really beats this with its excellent software and cameras and for almost half the price (on special)

      Your opinion i guess, the myriad of reviews put this as the best phone overall at the moment.

    • niknikniknik on 14/02/2023 - 18:34

      According to initial reviews, the Pixel 7 Pro simply doesn't beat this in terms of performance, battery life, camera (incl video, portrait, zoom, etc).

      • Pcoder on 14/02/2023 - 19:56

        Remember this hasn't been released to the general public yet (Release is 17th of February). All the units available would have been distributed through Samsung and with the amount of stories out in public with the byline, this trip was provided by Samsung, you need a pinch of salt added to these initial reports as there is also possible pressure from reviewers not to bad mouth Samsung too much or they could be left of the Demo list later.

        • OzGardian on 14/02/2023 - 22:03

          a lot of people have received it early. i've been tracking user reports on Samsung reddit pages and its quite promising

  • ShinK0 on 14/02/2023 - 18:21

    Also a trade-in bonus up to $300 I think.

    • mickyb80 on 14/02/2023 - 18:53

      Yes, noted above. :)

    • ce5himm on 14/02/2023 - 19:07

      How do I know which phone is eligible for trade In

  • evatron on 14/02/2023 - 18:36

    Do you get cash back if you use the BONUSCARE code?

    • mickyb80 on 14/02/2023 - 18:53

      Trusting so. If not, discounts are similar (bouns code v 8%) give or take.

  • pereths on 14/02/2023 - 18:38

  • stefanko on 14/02/2023 - 18:42
