Forgive me for this lazy post, had a feeling some of y'all might still like to know.

Was looking around for deals cause I'm in the market for a fridge and a phone and realised JB Hi-Fi bumped their gift cards for the mobile plans up by a bit again!

Feel free to report if it isn't a deal, felt higher than the last one posted 🤔

Available to port-in and new customers only (excluding JB Upfront/Prepaid, The Good Guys Mobile & Broadband, Telstra & Boost). The JB Hi-Fi Gift Card (referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions) will be available to you instore after connection approval by Telstra. The $1100 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card will replace the value of the Voucher stated in the Critical Information Summary. If you cancel or move to a lower cost/different plan then you must pay a Voucher Repayment Fee to Telstra pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan’s minimum term. This offer is not available in conjunction with any other JB Hi-Fi mobile or broadband offer. Gift Card subject to Terms and Conditions. Gift card offer ends 7/08/24.

    Did this 3 years ago, was already with Telstra, but they just gave me a new number then transferred my existing number across to the new plan. Tried again this week and they said they can't do it any more. The other work around I've done in the past is port to Optus on a prepaid sim, then go back to JB and sign up, had mixed results depending on the JB store/sales person.
    Also I believe this ends 7th August

      system will pop up with a message if its within 30 days of you leaving. you can port out but just port in 31 days later (deal will probably be gone tbh)

      • PG57 on 03/08/2024 - 22:08

        Is that an optional message that certain staff would be able to ignore, or doesn't let them proceed?

        • DraggyX on 04/08/2024 - 01:22

          Maybe normal floor staffs can't but sup/managers can override it hence the results were mixed?

    they have a deal. $99 a month and get a free flip 6 phone worth like $1700.

      Looks like it's provided as an $1800 gift card as payment against the flip6, which is good for those who claim their phone + monthly bill on tax.

    • NuttyGoodness on 03/08/2024 - 15:35

          very true, i had a Galaxy Z Fold 5 for entertainment because of the bigger screen and iPhone Pro Max for everything else.

          when it was time to sell because i got tired of caring 2 phones, it was worthless. no where near the value of an iPhone I'm used too.

    • datafellows on 03/08/2024 - 18:40

      Optus had $69 for 24 months and free Flip6 via Harvey Norman. Waiting for a deal better than that and might consider the Flip6. Or at least something similar from JB Hifi & Telstra.

      • gmail92 on 04/08/2024 - 00:56

        Doubt it is going to happen - 2 years ago Optus did the Flip 4 but Telstra didn't follow suit.

    24 month plan makes it bullshit though (should probably put that in the post). I would be down for 12 months. Also correct me if im wrong but in the link it says $550 for the $79 plan

        That’s basically $100 for a year of service. Would be a great value yeah

      • ruddiger7 on 04/08/2024 - 10:58

        Moreso referring to the $700 for the $79/12 months. Considering you used to be able to get $400/$500 at $69/12 months this doesnt seem unreasonable.

  • philotex on 03/08/2024 - 15:40

    I really don't want to support the normalization of 24 month plans or $99 a month plans. Both are ridiculous and the "free" phones are bait to permanently raise the bar.

    • Fancydancer on 03/08/2024 - 16:09

      You do realise this plan is actually free JB money?

      • philotex on 03/08/2024 - 16:12
        +5

        Excuse me, yes, it's money. Just saying a lot of people look at it as directly applicable to the reduction of cost of a phone. Either way, the temptation for the gift card encourages the normalization of larger and larger packages. We don't need a one-off discounted 24 / 99 package, we need shorter cheaper ones as a standard.

        • Fancydancer on 03/08/2024 - 22:27

          This is upfront month to month, cancel any time.

      • Areyouabus on 03/08/2024 - 17:55
        +2

        you do realise that you have to pay $2376 to access this free money which gives you the same calls as a prepaid telstra service that would cost $640 to access. Unless you dont have nbn and use your phone as your main modem, this is far more data than most will need

        • Fancydancer on 03/08/2024 - 20:21

          You cancel day 1 you pay $99 plus $800. GC is $1100. How is $200 JB GC not free? If you’re fortunate enough to be on older JB Telstra plan you won’t pay $99 and will get about $20 Telstra points value.

          • snvl on 03/08/2024 - 20:26

            @Fancydancer: Didn’t they change and they charge the full gift card now?

              @snvl: I haven’t done this one but critical information summary is still exactly the same. MAXIMUM voucher repayment fee is $800 for the $99 plan.

            It's minimum cost $2376. That's your cancellation fee. Am I missing something?

            Edit: Nevermind, found it, you're absolutely right.

        The 36 month plans however…

    • Randolph Duke on 07/08/2024 - 23:43

      I really don't want to support the normalization of 24 month plans

      “Back in my day” all mobile plans were 24 months, and you paid out the remaining amounts if you cancelled early, except when you were upgrading to a new phone, in which case your carrier might give you a few months grace.

  • StingyShopper on 03/08/2024 - 16:12
    +3

    So basically at $99 per month its half price ($49 a month). You can still get better deals with Superloop and ALDI mobile which both use the telstra 5g network.

    • NuttyGoodness on 03/08/2024 - 16:27

      Better deals with 300gb of data? I can’t find any

    • serpserpserp on 03/08/2024 - 16:38

      Weird. My superloop plan only uses the 4G network

      • freefall101 on 03/08/2024 - 17:11

        The $40 and up plans use 5G. Still speed capped to 100mb/s though unless you go the $60 plan.

    • freefall101 on 03/08/2024 - 17:13

      I assume there's some people out there that use this much data. You consider the 150GB plan at Superloop is $60 a month and telstra is $79 for 150GB, it's a good option to go straight with Telstra. Costs $456 more, get a $700 gift card and no speed cap.

      I say this as someone who used about 20GB last year (for the whole year) though, I'm going to pass on this deal.

  • drillvoice on 03/08/2024 - 16:14

    This seems like a really bad deal even with the gift card. Only worth it if somebody else is paying for the monthly cost.

          3. Get 10% back in the form of tax return?

            If you are wfh you can claim it under wfh expenses.

            If you are in hybrid working arrangements you can try both claims.

            Not tax accountant advice.

          • jonomatic on 07/08/2024 - 23:29

            @confidantduk: Generally speaking, employees using their phone for work purposes can clam the work use % of their phone costs as a tax deduction under work related expenses.

            The tax payable reduction/refund you receive on that is dependent on your effective tax rate.

            For example, if you enter a phone expenses deduction of $1000 and you had an effective tax rate of 20% on that portion of your taxable income then your tax payable reduction/refund is $200.

    As always, the ETC is $800 per the CIS. You have to pay the first months plan fee of $99 upfront meaning it’s a quick and easy way to make $201 assuming you actually need to purchase an item of this value at JB.

    it's always 1100$ GC with 99/month, but is it worth to get free flip 6 with 99/month instead?

    • dongltron on 06/08/2024 - 18:11

      Sell it for $100 below RRP, use the cash for your phone bill each month, use $33 of the money in your bank account for the remainder. That's $33 a month for quite possibly the most loaded mobile plan on the market.

      • snvl on 07/08/2024 - 05:23

    99 is pretty much what you would be paying for a device and a plan anyways

  • double on 04/08/2024 - 11:55

    Does anyone know if you can use the JB Hi-fi voucher on the spot, so for example sign up to the $99 a month plan and get $1800 off a Samsung fold 6 and then use the $1100 voucher on the spot to cover the remaining cost of the Fold 6?

    Or they wouldn't let you combined them to get it for free…as that seems like a decent deal?

    • sunny007 on 04/08/2024 - 13:41

      Both are separate offer, you can either select $1800 off on samsung device or $1100 JB GC with the sim plan.

      • [Deactivated] on 05/08/2024 - 19:12

        JB stuff are usually inflated in pricing anyway. Looking at the recent Dyson offers and JB costs $30-50 more than what's sold else where (including TGG owned by JB).
