    The cost of that phone is more than my previous car's trade-in value 😔 I guess my car didn't fold so it makes sense.

      If you think that's bad, I brought a folded car for a trade in and the dealership wouldn't accept it!

    • +2

      Haha that's good! Prices these days are crazy but to be fair, Apple charge that for some iPhones and they're just iterative improvements instead of a newer form factor

      I feel better paying those kind of prices for something innovative vs just 'the best iPhone we've ever made.'

    One of the better folding form factors out there. Shame the chip isn’t all that much improved.

    Too heavy compare other similar size foldable photos.

      What sort of paper are you printing these foldable photos on?

    Harvey has $1000 trade in credit https://www.harveynorman.com.au/google-pixel-9-pro-fold-256g…
    The trade in is not limited to specific brand/model, you can trade in any generic device for $1 (select "Other").

      Gotta deal with Asurion as well, and trade in values seem to be lower compared to JB. For instance Z Fold 5 at JB $900 vs $729

      • +3

        I'll never deal with anything Asurion again even if the deal is amazing. 2 times I've used them and 2 times they have majorly (profanity) up.

        • why? what went wrong dealing with them?

          • +1

            @0zyt0zy: In 1 case they lost my trade in. In the other case my trade in never got processed. They had my phone and it was stuck as pending for months.

            This would all be OK if you could actually contact the company. You can't. No phone number and no email address. Not even Samsung Support can contact them beyond creating a ticket in their system lol

      Am I reading correctly that you get a $1000 voucher AFTER purchase? Not able to take $1000 off the purchase price?

      • stiackable with this???

        $999 up-front cost when you pre-order a Pixel 9 Pro Fold 256GB on an Optus $69 plan for 24m?

        • TYPO? $2699 discount

          • @Martyroz: If it is a full discount on the product on the $69 plan you could stay for the 4 months ($276) and then pay the cancellation fee $690 which means you'd get the device for $966? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

            • @playaz91: They have fixed it - it now says $1700 discount.

              • -2

                @Martyroz: Isn't it illegal to just change T&C's on the fly like that?

              • @Martyroz: Still if you can stack with the $1000 you could get the device for $0 and follow the above?

      • Am I reading correctly that you get a $1000 voucher AFTER purchase? Not able to take $1000 off the purchase price?

        The promo banner does say "trade in and get credit towards your new Google 9…"

    • Hey was wondering if Harvey Norman (Asurion) do trade in for phones not listed on their website? Like I have old Huawei Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro but they have only listed P30 and P30 Pro on their trade in website but they have an option to select "Other" with a message to get up to $1*. Has anyone done trade in of an phone model not directed listed by HN? And can we only trade in phones or any other item in the category to get $1000 trade in bonus towards Pixel 9 Fold? Thanks.

      • I just did exactly that this afternoon.
        Traded iPhone 6 for $1 via their trade in portal.

        Went into HN and got the $1000 plus $1 discount off the fold.

        • @Roadie999 Thanks for the update. So you have to go to the store to do the trade in which comes under "Others" category? And is there any criteria or a certain cutoff year for the phones to be accepted for trade in like iPhones can go as back as original iPhone 1?

          • @alphawolf: Yeah I just chose OTHER
            Not sure what the criteria is but I recall it only asked for an ImEI but no actual phone model

            I did the trade online and then obtained a code which I redeemed in store to complete preorder.

    Guys do car dealerships accept foldable phones for tradein?

  • +2

    You need to update your post. JB just match Hardly Normal's trade in bonus to $1000.

  • Can this stack with the $1800 off when you get the $99 telstra plan?

    • +1

      Unfortunately no, from the conditions.

  • If the trade-in device isn't sent in, does that get charged back to your credit card? E.g., a S10 gives $1 trade-in value and $1,000 off the Pixel Fold, and not sending it in means you're charged just $1 and not $1,001?

    • Correct - you'll just be charged the amount your phone trade in was worth, not the value of the bonus trade in voucher

      • This seems too good to be true. So you can just get $1000 trade in bonus by initiating a trade in and then not sending the device? Like I have old Huawei not listed on their website as trade in option and was thinking how to get the trade in bonus some how.

        • Yep but there is usually a $50 or $60 non return fee if you don't send the phone. Plus you'd forfeit the value of the phone which you pre-authorise when you do the trade in online.

          Ie. I just did mine with an old iPhone 6S. Valued at $1. So they charged my card for $1 and if I send the phone, they'll refund that $1. If I don't, they keep it and charge me a $50 non return fee.

          The $1000 bonus coupon though? No difference whether you send the phone or don't

  • Is JB Mobile a full Telstra service, or just another that "uses the Telstra network" like Woollies Mobile? Currently with the latter and have a lot of coverage issues.

  • I cannot get the JB trade in ID verification to work. I have gone through with different browsers on my PC and directly on my phone, and after uploading my ID pic/details and clicking to the next step, I get a blank pop-up and have to restart the process. Anyone else?

    • yep this happened to me too. I got my wife to do it for me using her ID and worked right away. She's never used ti before whilst I'd used JB trade up a few times. Given mine didn't work and hers did, I wondered if the fact I hadn't sent a few phones and just opted to pay the non return fee impacted me

      • I've done the same in the past once so maybe

    • Whn iam trying to capture my id, my phones camera is displaying black screen ( iphone). Not letting me to take pic.

  • How is this handled if you later return the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, unopened? I'm assuming you forfeit the $1000 voucher?

    • Yeah they would just refund you for what you paid for the balance after the $1000 voucher. Ie. Lets say you paid $1698 for the phone on your credit card and the rest was paid using the $1000 voucher, they'll refund you the $1698 to your card but the $1000 voucher is like it didn't exist

  • If we avail that voucher, what does the invoice list that as? Gift card?
    Wondering if the whole amount would be considered if I were to salary sacrifice for this.

  • +1

    What if I took in 2 phones for trade in, would that give me a $2,000 voucher, or 2 x $1,000 vouchers to use on 2 seperate Pixel Folds?

    • Only one way to try! I think I've got some $1 devices floating around.

      • I tried, I traded my old iPhone 5 for $1,001 - wow! They would only accept 1 trade per Fold, but no limit on how many Folds you could do it with. Pretty sweet deal!

        • Safe to assume that the trade in coupon also only works on a cart that includes the Fold? :)

  • Does anyone know how this would look on the Tax invoice after say $800 trade in + $1000 voucher? would it actually show e.g. $2859 for the fold, -$1000 voucher, -$800 trade in - $whatever is left paid with credit card?

    Asking for TRS purposes.

    • Mine has the phone as the only line item on the invoice, and then there is a line through the price of $2697 and in green underneath it says 'Telco trade in offer $1000 off' and then under the $2697 which is crossed out, it says $1697

      • Thanks Jay!! Umm, I wonder then would the TRS pull up on the 2697 or 1697 for tax refund!

        • Its usually the amount paid in total regardless of if paid with gift cards, vouchers etc. However, in this case, JB receipt makes it look like the product was discounted by $1000 rather than that you paid partically with $1000 credit.

          My guess would be in that instance, they'd take the $1697 as the amount as JB lists that as the price of the product you paid

          I'm guessing for JB they do that, as then they can claim for tax purposes they sold you a product for $1697 rather than selling you a product for $2697 which you partially paid with a $1000 voucher

  • how does the trade in work, do you send in your old phone after receiving the new phone?

    • Yep, pretty much.

      When you complete the checkout process for the trade-in, they'll send you three emails - one with the gift card for the trade-in value, one with the coupon code for the additional $1000 discount, and one with with an AusPost return label so that you can package and return your trade-in device. They'll also issue a pre-authorisation hold for the trade-in value on your credit card.

      With pre-orders, the deadline for returning the trade-in device is usually around 7 days after the new device is released. If the device isn't returned, then the pre-authorisation hold value is charged to your credit card.

      No, they took mine off me in-store, printed the postage return slip and offered to send it off for me. I got $1,000 off right away and paid there and then. Just have to pick it up from the store when they call.

      • Ah, the process may well be different if you're purchasing in-store. Apologies, I've usually done it all online in the past.

  • Does JB/Squaretrade charge a non-return fee like Asurion does?
