For Westpac customers only, get access to JB Hi-Fi solutions for free.
JB Hi-Fi solutions is similar to The Good Guys Commercial where you can get discounted products from their stores.
To access, just open your Westpac mobile app, click on Profile, then Rewards and Offers and its there. Access to JB H-Fi solutions website is by the link from app or their website.
Does not apply to loan accounts.
Same as previous deals.
Credit to previous OP for description.
Interesting - lose 0.5% compared to ING, but no need to make 5 pesky spends per month, and no minimum deposit into the account.
Balance needs to increase every month. That could be by $1. So that's pretty easy. Also I personally prefer to have a branch option.
@Scrooge McDeal: Or deposit nothing ever, just keep the account till they get pissed off one day. Then deposit $1 .. repeat
hmm…
how does the criteria bonus thing work if one month ur less and the next one ur backup ?
I've had a westpac acc for a good while but recently beem put most saving in ubank..
but ubank seems to be changing things to the base interest rate beimg 0% unless u deposit $500 a mth n it goes to 5p.a or 5.5p.a
The only issue is that it will make you open a Westpac choice account which charges five dollars a month unless if you fall under any of these.
This fee is waived for:
Customers that deposit at least $2,000 each month
Customer under the age of 30 or full-time tertiary students
Individuals who hold a Concession or Health Care card, or receive an eligible Australian Government benefit payment
New to Australia or expatriate customers (for the first 12 months).
Customers that open a new Westpac Choice account online between 01/02/24 and 30/09/24 (for the first 12 months).
Technically you can avoid the fee by moving $2K from Savings account to Westpac Choice account, and then again back to Savings account.
Worked for me when I was too lazy to close my main bank account for over a year lol
Does this really work? I’ve been moving between my combank and Westpac account and it is very troublesome
this is exactly how i avoid the $5 fee
I've automated money in & out between my Westpac and HSBC account to avoid the fee.
Targeted
What kind of account do you have? If it's a loan account, it won't apply to it.
Westpac Choice, eSaver, and Life
Thanks for that. Definitely targeted then. I have reported to mods, to fix.
@Scrooge McDeal: Not available in my app, def seems to be targeted.
Edit nvm, I was not looking hard enough
I got the same Westpac Choice account and got this JB offer on the app
I only have westpac choice and I have access to JB Hi-Fi Solutions
I only have Westpac CC and I have access to the deal
I've had a westpac account for several years, this jb access has been around for years in the app.
Anyone knows if GC or discount codes can be used in JB Solutions?
Just had a look for you. No GC or discount codes. Card or PayPal only. You also have to pay for delivery whereas The Good Guys Commercial has a C&C option.
JB has C&C options as well
Really? That's interesting. I wonder if it's something new.
My app says the offer is valid from 15 Feb 2024 until 30 Sep 2024
They just keep extending it. Same as the booktopia 10% off offer. They must just negotiate with the vendor for 6 months at a time.
It's also free for Origin Energy customers.
Yep, as well as The Good Guys Commercial.
Came here to say this but I'll just give you an upvote instead 😅
I just checked and prices for phones etc are the same as jb’s regular prices.
Is this typical? I haven’t looked at this before.
Yep, always cross-check other retailers first.
This offer has been there for the last two years when I started banking with Westpac. Also has Samsung Partner store offer as well.
Also has Samsung Partner store offer as well.
Yeah it ended 31 May. Was off for a few days, not sure when they re-enabled it. But yeah 30 September this time around. Currently matching the edu 30% off S24 range with 150 bonus trade in.
You can also access it via Bank of Melbourne. You can buy an S23 on JB Solutions for $1299 - that's $100 more than Samsung are currently selling the S24!
Netgear Orbi® BE27000 Quad-band Mesh WiFi 7 System [3 Pack] is $4299
JB Business is $3699.
Do I need it, no. Do I want it, yes…
Why does the app say ends 30th Sep 2024. Is this date unique to me? I never enrol it.
WTF? Surely that has to be the most expensive mesh router to date.
I have the RBR50 wifi 5 since 2017. Solid device and I recall it was the best at the time.
Tempted to get the new faster version but yes, I agree it is very expensive and some service/feature is subscription.
I've had the RBR50/RBS50 mesh system for quite a few years, and its been great. It removed all the WiFi black spots around the house. It's never crashed or malfunctioned, haven't had any issues with it yet.
I don't know what features a newer mesh system could provide, besides WiFi 6 speeds?
@kraigg: That latest model is wifi 7. $4299 in JB and $3699 in JB Solution.
The older model RBR50 I have is slow LAN transfer. Would love to get faster but even at $3699 is a tough buy.
@beefmaster: Thank you for the explanation. Faster transfer speeds are always a good thing, but I also think $3000-$4000 would be hard to justify. The RBR50/RBS50 mesh pack (router and 2 satellites) cost me only about $700 back then.
FYI - Always check other retailers because this is by no means the cheapest prices around.
It's definitely not the full JB hifi range, more a sub section and the prices vary. Not worth changing banks
Yep, same deal with The Good Guys Commercial.
Anyone else having trouble accessing "Rewards & Offers" on the Westpac Android App, when I click on it I just get a message saying "No internet connection"…. I've been getting this for a few months now
Had the same. Need to turn off ad blocker
Thanks for that! I had the problem too whenever I was using wifi but not mobile data (even if AdGuard was enabled).
Cheers for that, didn't even think of that
I just have a Westpac Choice account. I do not have any offers available, let alone an offer for JB Hi-Fi Commerical.
I have the same account and no obvious link, but you can search for 'Rewards' in the search bar and it'll show up.
After 3 times of trying to open an account, i was finally successful. First 2 tonight failed
Same price
Can't find rewards and offers on profile.
Working for me now but sometimes I also can't find the rewards and offers. Not sure how to fix
signed up to westpac weeks ago rewards tab never worked for me

Force stop the app & clear cache if on Android.
I've never actually seen a good deal on jb solutions
Don’t see any benefit as the prices of the items I’d looked at are identical to street price and JB walk in price
Not on my Classic account.
Anyone else seeing a technical error when accessing the rewards page?

Not sure how good the discounts are.
First page.
Logitech c922 webcam $166
Umart price $118
Works on the Westpac desktop website for me too.
man JB's business solution deals are the worst.
Can someone help with the price for ASKO T408 heat pump dryer on jb site?
Thanks.
These are good for heavy shoppers and niche items jb can't move. The really popular products like an MX 3s mouse is only a couple dollars difference from my search.
Is it just me or has JB Hi-Fi dropped off from Westpac Rewards in the app?
'For Westpac customers only'.. every man, his dog, and his dog's chew toy has access to JB rewards now days. And that's why it's shit.
Time to open a Westpac savings account :-)
