JB Hi-Fi Gift Card will be sent out two weeks after order is placed online or will be available when collecting the device for in-store orders. Offer ends 12 October 2023.

$300 bonus discount coupon applies to Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro order when you trade in an eligible device via SquareTrade by 25 October 2023. This is in addition to the credit for your trade-in device.

For example, if you were to trade in a device with a trade-in credit value of $1:

  • Pixel 8 128GB $1,199 - ($300 bonus coupon + $1 trade-in credit) = $898 upfront. You then receive a $250 Gift Card effectively making it $648 (depending on what you do with the Gift Card).
  • Pixel 8 Pro 128GB $1,699 - ($300 bonus coupon + $1 trade-in credit) = $1,398 upfront. You then receive a $350 Gift Card effectively making it $1,048 (depending on what you do with the Gift Card).

May be a more worthwhile deal compared to the $250 Pixel 8/$400 Pixel 8 Pro bonus credit offer via Google Store, if you have an eligible device to trade in.

There's also a bonus JB Hi-Fi Gift Card offer if you pre-order both Pixel and Pixel Watch 2 devices in the same transaction:
- Pixel 8 + Pixel Watch 2 from $1,748 = $450 Gift Card
- Pixel 8 Pro + Pixel Watch 2 from $2,248 = $550 Gift Card

                  @G-rig: this time, pictures won't be able to fool pixel 8/pro, however with sungalss/mask/low light, face unlock won't work.

                  • G-rig on 13/10/2023 - 23:04

                    @ce5himm: Yeah that's cool, during the day it works well.
                    Finger scanner works well enough now even at night for me.

  • pgsheng on 14/10/2023 - 12:40

    anyone received their $250 gift card yet? I ordered online for store pick up thought the card would be given while in store but told to receive it later in email.

    • G-rig on 14/10/2023 - 12:52

      No, Just Wait

        My dear, patience is a virtue.

        These days nearly everyone wants everything quick quick quick & me first me first me first.

        JB will soon land you a golden bar you are looking for my dear

        • G-rig on 15/10/2023 - 03:18

          Says up to two weeks on the emails dear
          Agree

          • milanoxpress on 15/10/2023 - 14:42

            @G-rig: Was a message for pgsheng

            Point guard Sheng ?? Bball time
            Into NBA perhaps or something else

            We can wait up to 2 weeks for the $250/$350 jb gc.

            For me, not in a hurry to buy anything mobile phone related at jb.

            My crystal ball prediction would be 7-9 days after you receive your pixel in store or delivered.
            Just rough guess… jb is sorting all those gc for pixel buyers at the moment. Give them some time.

            As side note, the pixel 8 standard is the successor to my excellent pixel 5.
            The form factor is very close. P8 is just a bit taller & gained a few grams.

            Hope google return to the rear based finger print reader for pixels.

            • G-rig on 16/10/2023 - 02:59

              @milanoxpress: The rear fingerprint scanner was good, won't be coming back so have to get over it.. front one and face unlock works well enough now.

    Did anyone end up cancelling the trade-in in the end? Do you get charged for the $300 off as well or just the trade-in value/egift card?
    The only detail I can find is the FAQ section of asking for old device back which gave the answer: "Yes, but only if we haven’t finished processing the returned device. And, we'll have to charge your credit card for the value of the trade-in credit already issued."
    Not sure what "trade-in credit" entails in this case.

    • G-rig on 16/10/2023 - 03:02

      Why not sending it back, seeking privately instead?

      If our Returns Centre does not receive your device(s) within 14 days, we will charge the pre-authorised hold on your account for the equal trade-in value offered for your order.

      So you will get charged the trade-in device value (in my case $375 for p7). You may have noticed the pre-authorization on your card already. The $300 doesn't come into it.

      • shattered on 16/10/2023 - 11:17

        Found a family member I can gift the phone to instead.
        I've also asked SquareTradeUP, but they're not very responsive. Haven't heard back yet.

  • G-rig on 16/10/2023 - 13:10

    WTF, I thought the pixel 8 was meant to not have curved edges - these AmFilm screen protectors from Amazon sit too large or something..?

    • bisaya on 16/10/2023 - 16:04

      yeah terrible. gonna try another brand.

      let me know if you find a good one

      • G-rig on 16/10/2023 - 16:22

        Just paid 45$ at a place (screen fixed), they didn't have the tempered glass in stock/available yet but they have a machine that does the more expensive type ($45). Bit steep but didn't want to go bareback for too long.

        Hopefully get a refund for the one star review on Amazon (if I return would lose the bonus TCB $5 lol).

        • G-rig on 17/10/2023 - 07:19

          ps. it's a Nano glass firbe film protector, suits curved devices.
          Bloody annying as the P7 was a flat screen.

          • huntabargain on 17/10/2023 - 07:26

            @G-rig: Is Pixel 8pro flat or round screen?

            • G-rig on 17/10/2023 - 07:30

              @huntabargain: I got the Pixel 8 not Pro, I read the Pro is flat, but didn't realise the P8 wouldn't be flat as well.. 🙄
              Others can confirm.

              Will have to post my P7 back today - $375 seems cheap but fair, hardly worth the ebay fees and stuffing around to sell privately this time. Nothing wrong with it ha.

      • G-rig on 31/10/2023 - 14:41

        Find any protectors yet?
        Went back to those screen fixed people, was hardly a good job for $45. They put another one on, but don't think it's even nano glass. It's soft and able to be scratched (with a fngernaill wtf. Will have to go back again, doesn't offer any crack protection. Or just get a refund.

  • G-rig on 18/10/2023 - 07:54

    Everyone liking the P8? Pretty neat compact size, some text can get pretty small but one handed operation is easier than the 7. Feels slighly nippier (but have the animations down to 0.5x). Pretty good like the 7, no issues. Getting used to slightly smaller keyboard. The screen size was better on the p7 but overall phone size better on the p8.

    Find any protectors? This nano glass fibre film protector still isn't even perfect for $45, I didn't ask about warranty but should - still a bit of lift (perhaps the spigen case places some pressure too).

    Didn't really need to upgrade/change but may as well for a tax deduction, could keep the $250 voucher for next year.

    ps. Google are dicks for making the edges curved, the Pixel 7 was good.

    • bisaya on 18/10/2023 - 11:24

      loving the screen brightness and the compact size when out and about.

      Missing the bigger screen when gaming though and yeah finding i'm not as fast typing due to smaller keyboard.

      Might give the Pro model a chance next year or even the P8 if I get some spare cash.

      I've found some apps have been buggy but it's more likely due to Android 14 and P8 combo rather than the phone itself.

      Yeah not happy with screen protector. I will probably try that premium film from screenshield

      • G-rig on 18/10/2023 - 11:45

        Yeah agree with all that. Voice input to text is easier half the time, then swipe+ predictive.

        Those look ok, $30 for a 6 pk of protectors, as long as they fit. Do you know they fit? Since these are curved will need to be a bit smaller and sit on edge of viewable area or case friendly.. or custom fitted.

        May go back and see if these guys can do better, the nano is pretty smudgy compared to the AmFilm ones.

    • milanoxpress on 18/10/2023 - 12:21

      I used the spigen align glass screen protector. Can be purchased for $29 (inc. free delivery regular Auspost letter tracking). Also if you are on eBay plus membership, take a further $5 off.

      This spigen one has black borders all around. I knew that & also used on my iPhone 11 Pro. Was decent quality, but chipped pretty easily. Single piece of sp is not worth 25-30 odd dollars. Would like spigen to include 3 pieces instead of just one with alignment kit.

      The black borders hide the rainbow effect on the edges but intrudes very slightly into the 6.2 inch Pixel 8 screen. I haven’t measured it with a professional equipment but I am guessing between 0.3-0.9mm screen intrusion compared side by side to a iPhone SE 2020 without a screen protector on & I opened the same content to compare.
      It doesn’t cut off letters on the far left & right side edges. I think I can live with it. Don’t want to waste money already used.

      I also ordered a spigen thin fit case from pro gadgets eBay & still no signs of delivery initiated. Maybe they don’t have shipment from the supplier or could be they are smashed with lots of orders.
      Pro gadgets eBay store is quick with shipping usually. They send it fast upon payment confirmation.

      The P8 feels so nice in the hand. Just the right size & like the added heft. I prefer the the rounded corners of P8/P8P.

      • G-rig on 18/10/2023 - 14:13

        Interesting. That's not ideal either, 3 for $10-15 is the go l, just have to wait till they perfect them. I'll still go back and show them it's not perfect see what I can get. It's mostly ok and the edges curve and sit just under the case I think.

  • G-rig on 18/10/2023 - 22:23

    The loudspeakers keeps getting worse since the pixel 3xl hey.. guess it's reliant on you having an external speaker, like soundbars.

    • bisaya on 19/10/2023 - 11:28

      Yeah agreed, I think the P8 speakers are clearer but the sound doesn't seem as lively as the P7 sound

      • G-rig on 19/10/2023 - 12:07

        Hmm they seem good for general voice and stuff but terrible for music.

    • bisaya on 24/10/2023 - 12:04

      no problem here. Is it working sometimes?

      Could be a lock screen issue?

      First step is to clear cache and storage.
      If still stuffed, I suggesting unintalling/removing updates and start fresh. . I had similar issues to camera and it seems to have fixed it.

      • G-rig on 24/10/2023 - 14:07

        Or just record your voice again

      • gutenmuach on 24/10/2023 - 15:30

        Tried so many different ways, still not working. Driving me nuts. Initially it had "Hey Google is not supported on this device" lol, I did something then I had the "Hey Google" option switch, but still the mic is engaged when I say Hey Google.

        • G-rig on 24/10/2023 - 16:08

          Hmm bit odd, just reset those apps and permissions, mine was all seamless, carried over from p7 and didn't even need to plug one into the other, picked up the wifi

    • juzdownunder on 24/10/2023 - 14:14

      There's an option in Settings to turn on/off "Hey Google" recognition for the phone, search for "Hey Google" in the settings search. I have mine off 'coz I have a house full of Google speakers that I talk to a lot. Instead I hold the power button down on my Pixel which has the same effect as saying "Hey Google".

      • gutenmuach on 24/10/2023 - 15:31

        Yea confirmed I check this, still no luck. A lot reddit users having same problem. I came from iphone, android is hard mannnnn…. so many settings to tweak, anw I ll stick to this Pixel for a bit

      Next time be nice to sort out a voucher thread and pass them on at time of purchase.

  • ce5himm on 24/10/2023 - 23:25

    Guys gift cards are normally sent on the last day of the "up to 14 days". Assuming we all picked up on 12 th, it should arrive on either 25 or 26th.

    Anyone actually sent their old phone for trade-in, is there any update from the trade-in company? My phone was delivered over a weeks ago, but the trade-in order page still shows "waiting for order to arrive"

    • bisaya on 25/10/2023 - 00:05

  • Cheapunk on 27/10/2023 - 07:31

      What are you getting with it?

      You get a physical Physical GC if you purchase instore, agree emailing should be a lot faster than it is (perhaps they wait in case people return them or something, who knows). Anyway should be today I reckon, got one early this morning.
