An all time low for the Google Pixel 7 after the Perks code and the bonus $150 JB gift card

I bought one on Friday as a gift!!! Gutted!
Thanks, was due for a new phone and so was my wife. Was able to apply one of the gift cards to bring the second phone down to $520ish.
Ok dumb question, what is a "perks code" and where or how do i obtain a perks code?
It's JB's membership thing, gives codes like this and discount vouchers.
See https://www.jbhifi.com.au/pages/perks
So if you are able to lock in 3 of the $250 Coles Mastercards that are on offer elsewhere on OB today and considering the $150 GC, that would drop the nett cost of the handset to $477.69 (is my maths right)?
For a near-flagship that not long ago was a dollar under a grand?
It seems all these big sale to show the economy is slowing down, so hopefully next month we will see more and better sale on electronic products
You cannot use the electronic coles MasterCards in-store.
In online you can, but how will you use multiple cards of 250? I am not too sure.
There might be a way which I am not aware.
Exchange them to JB gift cards via ShopBack or directly on JB website
Bingo
How do you do that? I have no idea how to do that
@kay007: Buy gc using that codes master card on JB website
Alright so we got the phone now anyone able to post a good case to go with it please
Hi did you manage to use $15 GC in the same transaction? Cheers
You mean $150GC nope they did not allow
I was explicitly told no when I asked. Both of us had a chuckle like "Had to try, right?"
Buy Spigen from Progadgets. Can't go wrong.
I did the same, their prices are great!
I see a separate charger needs to be purchased? Any suggestions? Thank you.
Do you get the bonus $150 giftcard by email or in store if you select the click and collect option?
with the pixel 7a deal which also had a 150 gift card offer, the electronic gift card came more than a week after i collected my order from the store. I expect similar here.
Thanks for confirming. Yeah will most likely be the same process here then.
Just picked one up and just letting you guys know the $150 GC cannot be used as a partial payment for the phone, the sales guy called the manager and he confirmed the GC can only be issued once fully paid and the receipt has been printed as that's used to create the GC. Still a great deal and got to take the gift card with the phone.
The weird thing was they asked me to sign a waiver that there is no change of mind refund policy on the phone if the seal was broken, never had to do that before.
They must had some bad experiences before. Lol
Really wanted to get a better camera than my current phone, but current phone has no issues…
Redmi Note 8 Pro v Google Pixel 7…
Should I "upgrade"? I'm so indecisive!!
If camera is very important to you, why not. Sell your Redmi or just trade-in.
Hmm.. Redmi Note 12 Pro (256Gb & 8Gb) is ~$475… So… Now I need to look into that. Haha…
Bah… Just bought the Pixel 7!!! Woo.. yay..?
Guy at JB reckons U can't combine the perks and gift card deal…. Am I getting shafted? You all have been getting night with C&C?
nah I think it should be fine. Perks is customer loyalty direct cost to JB while gift card is no doubt subsidised by Google.
In fact I used the GC from 7a few weeks ago on this purchase! it's more likely that would be an issue…GC to get GC…
You are getting shafted. Just bought in store with perks and GC. Lemongrass color looks so nice.
I've just returned from the store, bought a pixel 7 but I did have to request them to scan my perks code (they requested full amount), then I had to ask for my voucher after they handed the phone over and wished me a good evening and then…. they say they will email it out so I'm like er no that's not how it works.
I received the $150 gift voucher card and instantly grabbed an air fryer and scanned my partners perks code for the 10% off and handed the voucher back to them as part payment, so all good in the end.
He's telling furphies. I grabbed this deal with the email barcode in store this afternoon.
Anyone have a spare perks code they aren't using today.
Used my one tcl tv deal.
Just saw this and need upgrade from pixel 5.
Many thanks.
Just thinking how it'd compare to pixel 6 pro, that's just $30 costlier, but matches almost all specs of 7 pro with just a few differences.
I know 6 pro will get 7 months less updates than 7 pro. But if I take LineageOS or GrapheneOS into consideration, with only problem that banking apps don't fee comfortable running on custom, sometimes some of those work if you unroot or lock bootloader or even just disable developer mode..
Any thoughts on this?
it's not $30, 6 pro doesn't come with $150 GC
Get the pixel 7 or wait for pixel 8?
almost pulled the triger, and then i read from comment that the camera galss randomly shattering ? any experience or info?
Why did they pull the $150 GC from the Pixel Pro :(
For next round
Picked up C&C yesterday in store and was told the GC would be issued via email. Does anyone know how long it takes to come
Just spoke with chat and they said "gift cards get emails 2 weeks after completion date"
Same, I won't start to use it until I get my case and screen protector. Feels fragile. Also, I realised it's smaller but heavier than my current phone. With the report of randomly shattered camera glass, I am not sure whether it's a good decision. Fingerprint scanner seems fine to me.
Bought it Wednesday, turned it on and set it up tonight and having touch sensitivity issues. Going to return to JB tomorrow. Waste of my time
Could be just that fault unit. Maybe check with a replacement before getting refund.
The guy couldn't replicate the fault at the store so now its being sent for assessment. Gotta wait for a couple of weeks
Has anyone that bought online received the $150 GC yet?
Not yet…
I've received the email JB GC voucher. $150. Just today.
will report here when I get it.
not yet.
Not yet
Not yet either.
Nothing yet
Purchased on 31, I believe it says 2 weeks we'll receive gc? I've still not received and is been 2 weeks now. Any one got the 150gc?
I think 2 weeks starts after you picked up in-store or online order delivered. Still 1,or 2 days.
Sorry I mean I picked up on 31.. :)
@Square89: so i guess tomorrow is your 14th day. you can check with customer service if it's over 14 days. still couples of more days for me, i will wait and see.
@ce5himm: Right, I'll wait for 1 more day then contact them. But report here how I go.
I also purchased on 30th, was delivered to me on 31st and no GC emailed yet. I took screenshots of the listing page and $150 GC offer on the 30th as I noticed that the GC still due was not mentioned ANYWHERE on the receipts received. Screenshot of offer says (my bold):
Buy now to get a $150 JB Gift Card!
Purchase today and we'll email your bonus Gift Card within the next 2 weeks. Buying in-store? Your Gift Card will be given at the time of purchase.
Offer ends 31 May 2023
Can you upload the screenshots plz?
Thanks.
Try talk to online chat first.
Just chatted with a customer service rep through their online chat - they said it'll be emailed out in 24-48 hours. Hope that helps
Good to hear that. Hope not everyone has to reach them to receive the GC.
I also haven't received my gift card yet. Just contacted live chat today and like the other commenter mentioned, was told the Online operations team is delayed and gift card should be sent within 24-48 hours. I ordered on 30/5, picked up in store 31/5 via click and collect.
Thanks for the update. I'm waiting for my GC too and I bought on 30/05. Was about to chat to their customer service.
Got GC email from JB just now.
Update just got the gift card now so slightly longer than 48 hours
Hey guys, what's your over night idle battery drain? Say 8 hours.
Depends on your settings and there are shitloads of settings in Pixel. You can optimize your standby by disabling some background apps and services. Video below is for Pixel 6a but some tips are relevant to Pixel 7 too.
Did everything I can find over the internet, still drain much more than my previous oppo. I feel it's the mobile network drain. Cos it's was fine on airplane mode. When I actually use it, I am happy with the battery life.
Have you tried disabling mobile data while connected to WiFi. Watch the video I linked from 3:30 onwards. It helped with my idle drain.
@dealhunter52: Yes, tried that from another video. It's not the data connection, it's the weak carrier signal. I am getting like -111 dBm. 4G . -86 dBm for 3G and I feel it drain little less.
Recieved the $150 gc. thanks
Got my GC as well just now.
Just now, received
I've got the JB GC, just now. Thanks.
don't got it :(
I just got mine. whew.
I still havn't got an email. do you get an email or you need to check your account?
Just got my $150 GC.
I just asked on live chat and was told 'to the best of my knowledge that should be fine'
…reallll helpful haha, oh well they lost a sale there, not going to bother
