  • Anyone else getting an issue with authorising the credit card during the trade in process?
    I'm getting a message saying 3d secure is not activated on my card.

    • YES How to fix it?

  • +1

    Worth upgrading my S20 FE 5G? Nil issues with it so far…

  • Can I enter IMEI randomly? I tried it and I can even use the IMEI generator. Can anyone give me an answer?

    • it's optional… ie you don't have to enter one to go through the process

    • If you have already tried then you know the answer..but if you don't want to enter IMEI, you can try Watches where it is optional to enter.

  • Anyone getting the 'invalid token' error after entering their email?

  • Any consequences for not sending in a phone, other than being charged $1? They clearly have no intention of using an ancient device, and I haven't got one they'll accept.

    • NVM, did the cancellation after ordering. Used 4% discounted gift cards from HCF for further discount.

      • ALDI have gift cards for 10% off right now have to buy in store though

        • How many ultimate gift cards can we use online to buy the phone online with trade in bonus voucher?

          • +2

            @BinnyC:

            ultimate gift cards??

            Just one. Because ultimate gift cards go in the credit card payment section.

            BUUUUUT you can go to Ultimate gift card exchange website and swap them instantly for JB Hi-fi gift cards. JB Hi-fi gift cards have no limit to ho-w many you can use at one time on the JB Hi-fi website

  • Is it worth replacing pixel 7 pro with 8a?

    • I wouldn't. Only thing better is the CPU.

    • +1

      I am considering doing this. My 256G P7 worth $385 at office work, which means I only need to pay (947-385-200-300) $62 to get a new 8a 256G.

  • Anyone know if there's a limit of how many times I can get the trade-in offer for the pixel 8a? I've got 2 phones to trade in

    • +1

      Limit one only. You can always use your family member.

      • Thanks!

    • +1

      From the FAQs on the website;
      Can I trade-in more than one device?
      Yes. You can trade-in multiple devices, up to the total combined trade-in credit of $2500.

      • +3

        You can trade in multiple items but you can only get $300 trading bonus once, which is what people are after.

  • Has anyone got this trading in something thats not a phone (eg watch, ps4?)

    • I traded in ipad 6 gen for $50.

      • And you still got the $300 off?

        Jb in store said you wouldn’t if trading in something that isn’t a phone.

        • Yes, I did. I paid $549.00. Trading $50 is in the form of egift card so the out of pocket payment is $499.

          • @slackme: Thought so. They were pretty clueless there. Also said the $200 and $300 don’t stack.

            • @UosdwisRDewoh: The bonus $200 gift voucher doesn't stack with this deal, they are correct.

  • How to get the trade-in bonus?

    I followed the links from the product page on JB and im getting a gift card/voucher for $1.

    Where's the $300 bonus!?!?!

    • +2

      You should see another email with a list of coupons you can generate.. click on the pixel 8a one and it'll send you another email which will have the coupon

  • +1

    Yeah I think $200 bonus gift card and $300 trade in bonus won’t stack.
    Found this from their. t&c
    “Cannot be used in conjunction with any other coupon or JB HI-FI Mobile Google Pixel 8a offer. “
    Fingers crossed let’s see

    • +1

      I've taken a screenshot of the two offers next to each other in the listing page just to be safe

    • +3

      Bonus Gift Card isn't a coupon, and JB Hi-Fi Mobile relates to when they sell you a Telstra plan & device in the same transaction. We're fine

  • Hi guys, seek your suggestions. I bought a Pixel 7 last Sept through the same trade-in program. This offer is appealing. Do you guys think it's worth upgrading from Pixel 7 to Pixel 8a? I understood the trade-in bonus for Pixel 8 isn't available :)

    Just used live chat on JB Hifi and asked for the best price and got the 256gb for $889; minus $300 credit brings the phone down to $589.

    • +1

      What did you say to bring down the price and how did you apply trade in after that and what colour?

      • +2

        Just told them I was ready to purchase. 256gb only comes in Obsidian Black.

        With JB deals they send you a link which goes to the cart with the discount applied.

        Add the coupon for the $300 trade in credit (Used S8+ $1 as trade in collateral) = brings the price to $589.

        Now waiting on the $200 gift card after the phone gets delivered.

        Cancelled the trade in after I placed the order.

        • +1

          So you already cancelled the s8 trade in straight after?

          • +1

            @BinnyC: yep got confirmation the $1 pre-auth has been cancelled on my card.

            • @thisisadu: Nice, so you can cancel the trade in and it doesn't affect the $300 bonus. Nice.

        • I thought you would need to show where it's selling for $889?

          • +2

            @LanguageJumbler: You can negotiate for a 'JB Deal', doesn't have to be a price match.

            • +3

              @UosdwisRDewoh: I just tried chat but was told there was no negotiating with pre-orders.

              • @indomie: I got the same response from them. Can try again tomorrow when it's no longer in preorder.

                • @LanguageJumbler: and it's been shipped.

                  I told them that I was ready to buy because I saw it in store.

                  Here's the order confirmation https://imgur.com/AFsBIcx

                  • @thisisadu: Mine is ready for collection tomorrow mrng. Now looking for Clear Case/Tempered glass for Pixel 8a.

                  • @thisisadu: Hi @thisisadu . I used your advice and got a good deal, and finished the purchase online. Just wondering about the 200$ GC - does your invoice or anything mention it anywhere at all? Just wondering if by some chance the direct purchase link made us miss that offer..

                    • @sorted: Did the same and was wondering that too.

                      • +1

                        @Yobi: asked at the store, and they said there's no reason the gift card won't come..

                    • +1

                      @sorted: absolutely nothing about the $200GC. Tried chatting and was told it will come in 2 weeks.. Screenshot the website as a just in case they don't screw us around with it…

                      • +1

                        @thisisadu: Same here, did the JB deal for $594 for the 256GB and decided to get the case for $38 (overpriced still, but can handle it with the overall deal). Picked up phone this afternoon and asked for $200 GC, was told will be emailed in a day or two (max two weeks).

        • How do you cancel the trade in?

          • @BinnyC: e-mail, reply the one which had the AusPost label

  • +4

    I also tried and they wouldn't reduce the price for 256gb.

  • +3

    The pre order extra 200 offer should still be available tomorrow (release date) till 21st May yea?

    • +3

      Correct, confirmed by chat this evening

  • Legend thanks

  • So is this deal dead now since no longer in pre order?

    • +1

      Deal still alive. JB have changed the wording on their website to "new release". T&Cs were always said offer valid to 21/5

    • Literally the comment above yours explained it…

  • Already one for sale on Gumtree!

  • Waiting for my new phone and have gone the trade-in route. When returning the old phone to squaretrade, must I also send the charger? The new phone doesn't include a charger and my old charger appears to have the right features (PD and PPS), so it would be good to keep it.

    Looking at the terms and conditions on the email from squaretrade it mentions laptops and watches but is silent on phones.

    4.2 To lodge a request to participate in the Program, You will provide:
    (a). information about the Device including without limitation, the OEM, make, model and capacity; and
    (b). if Your Device is a laptop or watch, Your indication whether You will include the charger with Your Device; and
    (c). the Condition Category of Your Device.

    Any experiences?

    • +2

      Found my own answer. I knew I saw it somewhere. There seem to be several sets of FAQ's on the site, But this one gives the required information:
      https://jbhifi.squaretradeup.com.au/faqs

      Must my device come complete with charger and accessories?

      No, chargers and accessories for Mobile phones are optional.
      Tablets, smart watches and Laptops allow you to select to include or keep.

      • Tablets, smart watches and Laptops allow you to select to include or keep
        Didn't see such option. My ipad charger failed anyway.

  • Has anyone received a click and collect notice yet?

    • Got it yesterday for pickup today (Adelaide).

      • Thanks, I wonder what is going on - nothing yet for me Hobart store - ordered 8/5

    • Nothing yet for me in eastern suburbs Melbourne.

    • Just got the message for mine now

  • Has anyone picked up the phone and received the gift card on the spot?

    • I pre-ordered and collected this morning. Gift card may take 2 weeks to arrive?.

  • Just collected, they said voucher will be emailed. If don't get within 2 days, contact online support team.

    • +2

      Are you sure its 2 days, chat agent told to wait 2 weeks

  • Perks voucher u guys think will stack work now given not a pre order anymore and valid till 17th May?

    • +2

      The $300 discount goes in that field and overrides the perks code.

  • +3

    Just paid instore and $200 gift card was given on the spot.
    As @thisisadu suggested, managed to get a JB DEAL online.
    $800 for the Bay 128GB, traded pixel 5 for $1 (didn't use the $1 trade voucher), used $300 trade in offer, coupon and 10% off ultimate $500 gift card to pay the remaining balance.

    Total upfront $450 = Pixel 8a 128GB + $200 gift card.
    What a bargain.

    • How did you get $800 deal online?

      • +1

        I got it for $795 yesterday through JB live chat. Collected in-store today :)

        • wow, I've tried a couple of times but closest I got was discounted accessories.

        • +1

          can you share screenshot?

        • What did you say?

          • @BinnyC: Just ask about the product, show them that you are ready to buy.
            They will create a unique link for your 'basket' and you can ask if they can offer discount.

            • @Bearkel: Just did a chat and best price they offered is $831 for 128gb

              • @BinnyC: Same here still not bad price !

                • @techberi: yea same $830

                • +1

                  @techberi: Ozbargain way has to be for $795;)

                  • @BinnyC: Yeah, it depends on the JB hi-fi sales person as well. I got denied by first two.

                    • @techberi: Unfortunately $795 was a mistake and is not a price we can offer

                      Ah well. $830 is fair enough

                      • +2

                        @scar4ace: Managed to get for $818 before $830 limit was set.

        • I'll be collecting my 128 gb pixel tomorrow, but got a deal via live chat for the 256 gb for $894. Hoping they'll be able to swap it tomorrow with the difference.

    • How does one place the order online and pay in-store?

      Having the $200 GC would be ideal to place another order for the SO.

  • -3

    Anyone kind enough to share the pixel 8a coupon?

  • Was in-store, was told no discounts but then I asked, what about on the 256GB? Got $30 off in lieu of not being able to stack the Perks offer, paid with 10% GCs. They rolled their eyes a bit when I stopped to pull out the separate $1 trade-in offer email…
    Pretty happy with the deal!

  • +1

    Just got the 256GB via live chat for the strange price of $928.69, so all up with delivery ($6.99, we live in the bush) and GC $435.68

  • Any gift card deals going on atm ? Unfortunately the aldi deal has expired .☹️
