Must be purchased through Education Store. I created a Samsung Store account using my personal email, then added a family member's edu.au email address when prompted. They'll need to click a link sent through to their edu.au account, at which point I could log-in without being hassled on my device. Note: when I tried to log-in on another device, it prompted me to input the edu.au email again, which would need to be verified again. YMMV.
This deal is slightly better than the previously posted deal that ended on 22 May.
5% off is for your first time purchase through Shop App.
$2,199 x 70% = $1,539.30 - $155 ($5 trade-in + $150 bonus) = $1,384.30 x 95% (Shop App) = $1,315.08 + $65 ($5 trade-in + $60 late fee) = $1,375.08
I spoke with Samsung Chat and they advised a one-time late fee payment of $60 for not sending in the trade-in phone, plus the refund for the chosen trade-in phone (I chose Samsung Galaxy S8 - $5). I heard people talking about being charged a second $60 fee, so I asked Samsung Chat and this is what they said:
Samsung Chat: You have 7 days to return your device to Asurion once you receive your new eligible Galaxy device. If you do not return your device within 14 days, you will be automatically charged a Late Return Fee of up to $60, which is non-refundable. The Security Charge will be held until your device is received and graded. Samsung may also charge you for any additional bonus credit applied to your order.
Me: so it's a one-time $60 fee for not sending the phone, and that's it?
Samsung Chat: Yes.
There's also an EOFY sale on the standard non-education store, which is $300 off + $300 extra trade-in value:
$2,199 - $300 = $1,899 - $305 ($5 trade-in + $300 bonus) = $1,584 x 95% = $1,514.30 + $65 ($5 trade-in + $60 late fee) = $1,579.30
Can someone confirm if the Trade-In thing works?
Also, for King’s Birthday, Samsung NZ had a $100 coupon which stacked on top of everything. Perhaps Samsung AUS might also have something like that?
