*****Customers who cancel this plan within 120 days of activation will need to pay back the base value of the Harvey Norman gift card or the value of the device discount they received. Plus, if you cancel your plan, you’ll also have to pay any remaining payments for your device in full if you have chosen a repayment option, plus all charges incurred up until the date of cancellation.****

Looks like they are forcing us to use the plan for 4 months, which kinda reduces the appeal of the deal as it was last time. looks like:

$69x4 =$276
upfront=$299
canx =$690($69*20/2)

Total: $1265 for the 256GB or $1116 for 128GB.

Is it still a great deal?
i still think it is a good deal.

              @HardlyNormal: Where do i find the CIS ? This is what on Optus contract. just got lucky ?

              Cancelling your plan
              The maximum cancellation fee is described in the table at the start of
              this summary and will reduce each month of your contract term. Your
              cancellation fee will be half of your minimum monthly charge (excluding
              any applicable device charges) x months remaining in your minimum
              term. If you cancel your mobile plan, you’ll also have to pay all charges
              incurred up to the end of the payment cycle in which the service was
              cancelled. This is subject to your consumer law rights.

              Maximum plan cancellation fee
              Does not include additional device payments (if applicable) $828

    On this $69 plan with Harvey Norman why is this better value than say the jb hifi $99 a month plan which comes with a $350 jb hifi gift card? This is on the assumption that I cancel the jb hifi plan after 1 month and the $69 harney Norman plan after 4 months.

      JB plan is cheaper if you cancel but need to factor in the fact that you still need a sim. JB cancel method gets you the P9PXL at $1012 however our plan is $1806 for the P9PXL and a sim. if you’re paying more than $33/m or $397/yr for your sim then its cheaper to sign up with our plan.
      Our $99 plan gets you the Pixel 9 Pro FOLD at $399 which is far better of a deal for that phone aswell.

      • Uniqlymine on 16/08/2024 - 17:35

        Options so far to purchase Pixel Fold ..

        if we were to cancel after 4months, its going to be $399 Upfront + 4 x 99 + 20 x 99/2 = 1790
        this includes Mobile Freedom (to confirm in store) and no gift card .. is this right?

        Buying by trading in old device
        2696 - 1000 (tradein bonus) - trade in value of device = 1696 - trade in value

        • Uniqlymine on 16/08/2024 - 17:39

          Another option to purchase Pixel 9 pro fold from Jbhi-fi .. credit to @DaveWtc

          $2697 - 1000 - (trade-in phone price) - 1100 + 99 (Telstra monthly payment) + 800 (max repayment fee to tesltra) = $1496 - (trade-in phone price)

        • AssociatedHardlyNormal @ Harvey Norman on 16/08/2024 - 18:32

          theres no gift card offer on the fold but correct, if you can find any junk phone or headphones its cheaper to trade in than sign up and cancel.

          • BinaryPirate on 16/08/2024 - 20:03

            @HardlyNormal: Perhaps you could give me some guidance. I'm planning on signing up to the $99 plan for the Pixel 9 Pro XL and the $35 data plan.

            The $35 SIM will go into my modem at home to share the 330Gb data.

            The two plans should get me a $400 & a $350 gift card.

            Have I figured that correctly & do the gift cards expire?
            I want to buy a Legion Go when they're next on sale.

    • dongltron on 16/08/2024 - 16:29

      This is better value if you're currently with Telstra like I am. Not eligible for the plan, and have to be a non-customer for 30 days, so no sneaky port-outs.

    • listenam on 16/08/2024 - 17:38

      JB plan is better if you looking only for phone and not service , HN Optus is cheaper with the plan if you intend to keep it. Again lot people prefer Telstra due to better coverage but you pay a little extra $

      • AssociatedHardlyNormal @ Harvey Norman on 16/08/2024 - 18:33

  • interfreak on 17/08/2024 - 12:06

    Managed to get a decent deal from Optus directly, for the 256GB Pixel 9 Pro XL. Thought about going down the HN path but couldn't be bothered switching my existing month to month Optus plan to prepaid just so I could take advantage of that deal (you can't be an existing postpaid customer to take up the deal, unless you want a new number).

    The deal I got from Optus – $62 Medium Optus plan 180GB with a $25 discount for 36 months – $37/month
    Pixel 9 Pro XL 256GB $55.52/month with a discount of $22.24/month – $33.28/month

    So monthly total of $70.28. Pretty happy with that.

    • trantonz on 17/08/2024 - 16:12

      I was offered a 25% discount on the plan for the first year.
      If you get $25 discount for 36 months then it's a good deal I reckon.
      It works out to be a touch above $14/m for mobile plan which is pretty good.

      • dongltron on 17/08/2024 - 18:00

        You won't get a $25 discount for all 3 years.

        • trantonz on 17/08/2024 - 18:21

          That's why I said that if it is $25 discount for 36m then it will be a very good deal.

          • dongltron on 17/08/2024 - 18:24

            @trantonz: Ah, I thought you meant that you'd be able to. My bad.

            • trantonz on 17/08/2024 - 18:50

              @dongltron: I tried 3 Optus reps and they all said that I can get 25% off for the first 12 months, and after that I can jump on the chat asking for a loyalty discount and they may have some options for me.
              I find it hard to believe since they cannot guarantee that I can get another 25% off.

    • jimwh on 17/08/2024 - 17:47

      It is that for 36 month?

      • interfreak on 18/08/2024 - 10:08

        Yes.

        Here's how it looks on my order confirmation:

        • ordinarygreenbottle on 19/08/2024 - 17:18

          How soon after signing up did you make that chat request? and can you confirm, that was only because you purchased directly with Optus and on a 36m, plan?

          I'm hoping to be successful with 50% discount despite signing up via H/N on the 24m plan.

          • interfreak on 19/08/2024 - 18:08

            @ordinarygreenbottle: Yeah this was direct from Optus, on the 36 month plan.

            I got the discount before I placed the order. Went into chat, told them I wanted to switch to prepaid as I wanted to take up the HN deal, and then it went from there. Had to send through evidence of the HN deal (screenshot from OZB), then the rep came back with the offer to discount the plan/handset and I accepted it.

    • BinaryPirate on 18/08/2024 - 14:33

      How did you get the extra $25 off the plan and $22.24 off the phone?

      Edit: I figured out the phone bit.

      • interfreak on 18/08/2024 - 16:35

        Just went only and started a chat with Optus. By chance, I got someone from the 'loyalty team'. Was all sorted in about 30 mins.

    • asianbargain on 19/08/2024 - 19:34

      Can I still ask for discount when I already preorder from harveynorman?

  • listenam on 17/08/2024 - 15:24

    That's bit expensive than this. The best thing HN/JB gift card plan is there is no device on the contract, so you could cancel anytime and pay only 50% of your Sim only contract with remaining months. When you sign-up a contract with device for 36 months, you pretty much stuck. What is your cancellation policy say ?

    • dongltron on 17/08/2024 - 18:01

      Cancel after 4 months. Any time before and you're slugged with almost double the cancellation fee, iirc.

  • Xr6turbo on 17/08/2024 - 17:33

    Just got this deal with a couple mates today.
    We were told by the HN salesperson that cancellation is possible before 120 days, although cancellation fee will be ~$1400. After 120 days, this goes down to ~$700, then only goes down further over time.

    I decided to port my number over & actually keep this deal - it's the best value ATM. Also, after reading online about how people contact Optus to get a quick discount due to 'financial hardship', that'll be my next interaction with them to see what Optus can offer ;)

    • dongltron on 17/08/2024 - 18:02

      They'll start out with 25%. Don't take it. Push to cancel again and you'll get the 50%. I doubt they'll go lower than that so I wouldn't push it.

      • dogsryummy on 18/08/2024 - 02:39

        That's insane, is that 50% off the lifetime of your plan? If you were going to cancel after 120 days anyway (netting 50% back), then this way you're essentially getting the plan for free, plus an interest free repayment plan.

        • dongltron on 18/08/2024 - 09:22

            • sibu12345 on 04/09/2024 - 23:11

              @mcargy08: Ditto these comments. I suggested to try to downgrade after 25% was offered. Initially, they said nothing could be done since I'm in contract but could help me process the cancellation of plan.

              After a bit, they said they could help me downgrade + not pay termination fee + give me a $25 discount.

              It worked out to a $52 plan - 25 = $27 a month. Under the plan's contract details in the myOptus app, there is a remaining balance of 793.50. The breakdown of remaining device repayments, remaining accessory repayments & outstanding payments was 0. Termination was the entire $793.50.

              Since I only agreed to the swap of plan because no termination fee was going to be imposed, it's weird. I called in a few times and the rep said that they need to check the next bill to advice me as this swapped plan has no termination fee. They also said this remaining balance is an approximation of the next bill (despite the app showing only $27 in the payment tab, under next estimated payment).

              I'll probably walk in to ask about it or wait till next month to see the invoice. Keep y'all updated

      • Xr6turbo on 18/08/2024 - 14:14

        Thanks for the tip. Do you know if it works best after a period of time? I only just signed up yesterday not sure if I should be waiting a couple months before contacting? Also do you simply say you want to cancel due to costs etc?

    I was originally going for the JB deal but not sure where to find a good sim plan after that. Just feels like I'm missing out on the $350 JB GC.
    Plus the optus coverage is not great in my area.
    I give myself another day to think about it…

    Anyone cancelled the service? I was told on live chat that if I cancelled the service, the cancellation fee would be $828.

    Could it be that the fee is actually $828 but Optus are just putting it as higher on the contract so no one cancels immediately? Or is it a case that their systems aren't updated and don't reflect the revised charges? If that's the case I believe if one cancels, they would only be charged $828

          I called optus customer support today and the cancellation fee is $793.50. I further pointed him to the contract T&Cs and the 120 days clause. He checked again and confirmed that $793.50 is the final amount.

          Not sure if I should trust him or the contract

    Why is this deal expired? Isn’t tomorrow supposed to be last day for 9 and 9 pro deal? I was planning to get one.

    @HardlyNormal I got this deal yesterday but I'm trying to activate the Gemini advanced but it says not eligible. Any ideas why this might be?

      no idea, maybe contact google support

      Exactly the same offer as in the title? $299 upfront then $69/month?

      • AssociatedHardlyNormal @ Harvey Norman on 30/08/2024 - 13:13

        Yes

    • AirJordan23 on 28/08/2024 - 11:57

      @Hardly Normal can you change colour or other phones like Google Fold after you have received the phone?

      • AssociatedHardlyNormal @ Harvey Norman on 30/08/2024 - 13:14

        If stock is available, you should be able to switch before you collect. after, definitely not.

      I hope you're right, I was planning to go into the store after work today and try my luck. Seeing this comment has given me renewed hope!!

      • Biocult on 29/08/2024 - 17:06

        Could you please let me know how you go? I called up a local store today but they only mentioned a promo to get $600 off the Pixel 9 or $800 off the 9 Pro XL.. Think I'll try my luck in person over the weekend

        • Madrical on 29/08/2024 - 17:25

          Uh oh! Yeah I'm skeptical but I'll let you know.

          It worked, I'm all signed up. I hate HN but the guy was very helpful and knew it had been extended.

          • Biocult on 30/08/2024 - 06:25

            @Madrical: That's great to hear, thanks for letting me know.
