I availed myself of this one last night at the Bourke St store in Melbourne, and it was as simple as that - Bought the phone, gift card free in the bag, no fuss.

Pretty good deal if you figure you'll spend $300 at JB at any point in the future, basically brings the pricetag down to $699.

I didn't press the issue of trying to see if I could apply the card to the phone in some way.

Swapped because I was sick of my Pixel 6 Pro's poor battery life on 5G, and the new Pixel 9 still uses a Samsung modem that's a notorious underperformer on 5G, and the new phone seems to be doing a great job so far.

Looked around and didn't see much I liked in the flagship market at the moment, so decided to save a bit of money and go with something a step below.

125W charging brick w/cable (and damn the speed is impressive), and a pretty shit case included in the box.

      I'm not a high performance user, but there's nothing noticeably struggling from a day of usage in terms of performance.

      If you do a lot of gaming I'm sure it won't hold up, but for scrolling, streaming, etc. It's absolutely fine and the 7 series Snapdragon is better for battery life and producing less heat, I believe.

    waiting for edge 50 fusion deal … don’t need speed but want longer software support and the g84 has been out for a while now.

      Fusion is equivelant to a 2019 CPU, haven't seen any reviews of the fusion, but CPU is so and so. Been happy with my Edge 50 Pro.

    • LimeAlz on 03/08/2024 - 23:05

      fusion is always 50$ off at mobileciti. I don't know if that helps

    Are you allowed to buy the phone to get the gift card and then return the phone 2 weeks later for a full refund?

      That seems too good to be true and probably is.

    • Jackass3D on 03/08/2024 - 22:44

      I saw in an earlier post JB will either request you to return the gift card or cancel the card when you return the phone. If it is used the return amount will be deducted.

  • MJD91 on 03/08/2024 - 21:47

    Wonder if they will price match and still provide gift card….

  • strupper2003 on 03/08/2024 - 23:01
