Traded a Galaxy S8 for $1. May or may not actually send it in. Could probably sell it on marketplace for $50 and just wear the $1 hit on my card.

Get it for less with a JB
Trade-In & get an extra $500 off via JB coupon!
Upgrade faster with immediate credit. Trade in your old phone before November 19th and get trade-in credit PLUS a $500 off JB coupon to redeem on a Samsung Galaxy S23.

Limit 1 item per coupon. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other coupon. View the full terms and conditions. Offer ends 19 Nov 2023

Why do I need to provide credit card details?

With JB Hi-Fi Trade-In, your trade-in credit is provided to you via a JB Hi-Fi eGift Card, before we receive your old device back. This allows you to upgrade to a new device sooner. Your credit card details are required so we can process a trade-in security pre-authorisation for the value of the JB Hi-Fi Trade-In eGift Card issued to you. Should your old device not be returned within 7 days your credit card will be charged for the value of the trade in credit. Once your old device is received and its condition verified, your credit card details are deleted.

    Would i get charged 500 if i don't trade it the phone?

      Don't use the gift card they supply and after you purchase just contact them and cancel the trade in

        So you’ll get two gift cards. One is $1 for trade in and $500 for bonus. You mean to say just dont use the $1 and cancel the trade in? Is this before or after using the $500 bonus gift card?

          You'll get an email with a link to various items you can use towards the trade in, click the link for the s23, checkout, that's it

    Link to all Samsung S23 Ultra Colours

    S23 Ultra 256gb $1087
    S23 Ultra 512gb $1387
    S23 Ultra 256gb $1787

    To get the $500 bonus, you must initiate a trade in from SquareTradeUp and the phone value must be at minimum $1.

    If you don't have any device to trade in, use Apple Watch Series 1 all of those is valued at $1 and optional to enter serial number.

    Once you get the gift card with trade in value, you will also get an email with subject: SquareTradeUP: JB Hi-Fi Trade-in Coupon Specials

    Click on the Samsung S23 Ultra picture and you will receive another email with the $500 voucher code.

    If you do not want to actually trade in your phone, you can use SquareTradeUp contact us page and tell them you changed your mind YOU WILL NOT NEED TO PAY THE $500 VOUCHER ONLY TRADE IN VALUE GIFT CARD

    The best method is to make your purchase with coupon and not use the trade in gift card at all, so they will just deduct the amount back from the gift card. You can still use discounted JB gift cards to further discount the price.

    In the Pixel 8 deal, they stopped people from getting the gift card at 10pm Sydney time on the last day, so if you want to do it, make sure to get the code before then. You should still be able to redeem it after 10pm but before 11:59pm on the last day.

    Happy purchase.

    • James233 on 18/11/2023 - 10:40

      i'm confused, when you say you don't actually want to trade it in do you mean the $1 card? so they only deduct the $1 not the $500? and by not using the gift card aswell you meant the $1? sorry new to being savvy/being on ozbargain

      • CodeXD on 18/11/2023 - 10:51

        If you don't want to trade in the device you used to get the trade in gift card / $500 coupon.

        For example, if I traded in my Samsung S7 valued at $1, I will receive a $1 gift card. I make my purchase with only the $500 coupon and message squareTradeUp to cancel the $1 trade in, and they will deduct it back from the $1 gift card.

        • James233 on 18/11/2023 - 11:00

          thanks for that. and one more thing does it matter when you go to message tradeup, like if i applied the 500 coupon on the phone and bought it, then went to them. would that matter or nah?

        • siraulo23 on 18/11/2023 - 14:31

          I "traded in" my S20 ultra for $140 but I didnt use it

          Can I skip messaging squaretradeup and they will automatically cancel the gift card or will they charge my debit card?

            @siraulo23: If you don't message them, they will charge your debit card, and you end up with the equivalent value JB gift card.

            Better to cancel because you can get discounted JB Gift Cards elsewhere. Don't pay $140 for $140 JB gift card.

    • me on 18/11/2023 - 10:41

      Just to confirm - when you initiate the trade in you recieve 2 x coupons/gift cards: one for $500, one for the trade in value. If not wanting to trade in, proceed with the purchase using the $500 gift card but do not use the trade in coupon/gift card and contact square trade to cancel trade in. Is that correct?

      • CodeXD on 18/11/2023 - 10:52

      Thank you for the thorough explanation you legend, this is the only part I don't understand. So you're advocating that we should not use the $500 trade-in coupon and instead pay the current sale price with other JB gift cards?

      You've been spreading your incorrect opinion all over these phone deals. A phone isn't dictated by benchmark scores. In terms of performance, the real-world speed of the phone is what really matters (Geekbench doesn't tell the full story).

      Plus, the $400 iPhone won't come close to the S23 Ultra in terms of display, camera, battery, charging speed and even niche things like storage speed.

      It's not a fair comparison. Benchmarks are only half of the story. Stop with these misleading comments, it's a waste of everyone's time.

            @killabob: Spot on.

            A phone is more than a benchmarking tool. Everyone has their own values of what's important to them in a phone. Me personally, it's a good screen and camera. All flagship phones within the past ~4 years are good enough in performance, so it's no big deal there.

            Plus, most users won't use anywhere near the full capacity of their phone's processing power in daily use lol.

          4.7" 60Hz 1334x750 326PPI screen in this day and age… Yea I'll pass on that one thanks.

          Not to mention the glaring disadvantages with the phone over the Pixel 7:
          1822mAh Battery
          3GB RAM
          Outdated, reused 12mp single camera
          Slow charging speed
          Terrible screen to body ratio

          if you had taken my advice the value of your phone would have appreciated

          Look mate, if you buy phones with the intention of profiting from the value increasing over time, you do you.

          For many, the camera alone on the S23 Ultra is enough to justify the depreciation over the years of ownership.

          Here is just one example

          Recently, tech website AnandTech has discovered the companies’ anomalies. Apparently, both Huawei and Honor have altered their phones’ responses to certain benchmarking apps. When users open these apps, the phones automatically ramp up their performance specifically to pump up the test’s numbers.
          Basically, when you run a benchmarking test on these phones, the resulting score artificially amplifies how the phone really runs.

            @spaceflight: did you read my posts there is one with like 5 different web benchmarks all with apple winning

            and go read what’s tested in geekbench it’s like everyday stuff

            android fans continue to be emotional and in denial at how shit their hardware, that’s ok Darwinism at its best,I just buy what’s best value don’t care who wins really

              Did you read mind that said benchmarks are pointless because manufacturers detect benchmark apps and react to fine the highest number.

              and go read what’s tested in geekbench it’s like everyday stuff

              What about the notebook check where the iPhone SE has
              Slower CPU
              6GB less ram
              About 40% smaller screen
              Lower PPI screen
              Lacks USB 3
              Older version of Bluetooth
              Over 2x smaller battery
              Much lower MP camera
              Only one camera
              About 50% less screen brightness
              Etc

              But somehow that's the better phone?

              It might have a better magical benchmark number however the Pixel it is being compared to smile give you a better user experience overall.

              android fans continue to be emotional and in denial at how shit their hardware,

              I'm not taking about Apple vs Android here

              that’s ok Darwinism at its best

              So if I don't have a iPhone SE I'll die?

              I just buy what’s best value don’t care who wins really

              Benchmarking using an app generated number isn't the way to determine the best value.

                @spaceflight: your posts are garbage tho you don’t even understand what my link is about

                there are 5ish benchmarks which measure web performance looks like you didn’t find them, so not much to discuss. you instead focus on computer generated comparisons which is akin to following chatgpt for advice

                your point is professional benchmarks which have existed for decades are cheating- ok believe whatever you want to suite your narrative not like I care

                I’m just providing actual information take it or leave it

                  No you're not, you're living in a world justifying that a particular phone is better than all other phones because of some benchmarking.

                  A Ferrari has better benchmarking, its performance is hard to beat and all the car reviews say this.
                  I can afford a Ferrari but even with all the fantastic benchmarks I don't own one.
                  Why?
                  Because it's impractical and even though the benchmarks say it's better, it isn't.
                  It's cumbersome, hard to use on a daily basis, hard to see out of, has no storage, awful to live, expensive to maintain with and so on.

                  My Golf GTI doesn't come close to the Ferrari benchmarks but it is a much better car to own and use.

                  You said you want value for money.
                  So do you drink beer/wine or 100% pure ethanol?

                  The pure ethanol is by all standards superior because it is pure and the best value for money.
                  Beer and wine are watered down ethanol and would fail any benchmarking against ethanol.

                  But you probably drink beer/wine because it tastes better, is safer, more enjoyable and so on.

                  In your own words an iPhone SE 2020 fan…

                    @spaceflight: all imagination no information

                    you conveniently ignore my point that there are multiple web benchmarks which stress single threaded performance which the $400 iPhone wins

                    did apple cheat in them all or

                      So?
                      A single metric doesn't make the phone superior.

                      iPhone SE has
                      Slower CPU
                      6GB less ram
                      About 40% smaller screen
                      Lower PPI screen
                      Lacks USB 3
                      Older version of Bluetooth
                      Over 2x smaller battery
                      Much lower MP camera
                      Only one camera
                      About 50% less screen brightness
                      Etc

                      It might be better by a somewhat pointless metric but its real world usability and features are significantly worse.

                      Just like why I don't own a Ferrari or drink pure ethanol

                        @spaceflight: you do realize that long list you produced is not worth anything

                        single threaded performance is by far the hardest to achieve and worth the most money

                        like you can pay billions and there is no android phone that is faster than a $400 iPhone

                          It is to most people where their phone is a productivity tool they use every day.

                          If you want to carry around a CPU then go for it
                          You aren't going to convince anyone that things like
                          A bigger screen
                          High PPI
                          USB 3
                          Bigger better
                          Hugg MP camera
                          Multiple cameras
                          Higher screen brightness

                          Are "not worth anything"

                          single threaded performance is by far the hardest to achieve and worth the most money

                          Maybe decades ago when there was no such thing as multi core/threading and apps were designed to operate on a single core.
                          We live in a world of multi core apps and compatibility

                          like you can pay billions and there is no android phone that is faster than a $400 iPhone

                          Stick with your SE then.
                          Ignore all the advancements and features on the latest Apple and Android phones then.

                          Enjoy carrying your CPU around.
