Seems JB Hi Fi returned the very famous deal they had with the Google Pixel 9 pro xl preorder. This time they don't give an extra 350$ JB gift card, but still not a bad deal for people missed the pre-order deal.
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL 128GB $247 ($1600 off) with JB Hi-Fi Mobile $99/M 24M SIM Plan (Min Cost $2376) @ JB Hi-Fi (In-Store)

Ohhh my bad! Unpublished due to my mistake. LOL.
What's the early termination fee for the plan? 😉
$800 pro rata, so $767 (23/24 months) + $99 for first month. Essentially, you can buy a $1600 JB Hi Fi gift card for $866 after returning the phone for a refund within 30 days. Call me crazy, but people would be silly not to take this offer up!
Hi Frank, would we be able to get the Jb card and then use this deal again for another phone?
There would be no reason why you couldn't. They will give you a $1600 gift card that must be used towards the phone. You then return the phone and use the gift card to buy another phone.
@SirFrankGrimes: On JB refund policies it says Exclude Commercial Sales. Is this one counted as a commercial sale ? 🤔
How would that actually work? I mean if you return the phone they give you back a gift card voucher or 1600$?
Infinite money glitch
It seems to be a 'discount' to the actual purchase price, not a gift card.
They do have the $1,200 gift card offer running as well.
Unless I'm mistaken?
"The $1600 off the purchase price of a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Phone (referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions) will be applied to the purchase price of a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Phone and available to you instore after connection approval by Telstra. "
Worded as a discount, but described as a voucher and seems to apply after the purchase.
From previous experience with their “$800 off an iPad” deal, they use a JB Hi Fi gift voucher of the same value to discount the price of the item. You then pay the rest in cash.
If you then decide to return the item within 30 days, they’ll refund you the cash portion and provide you with a gift card for the rest (ie $1600). You may get lucky and have the whole thing refunded onto your card. I had that happen recently.
@SirFrankGrimes: When you say return, it must be unopened, correct?
Would be nice if you can use and choose to return it you don't like it similar to Apple store.
excuse my ignorance, but how does this actually work? If you kept the phone but cancelled the contract you would only be 866 out of pocket? Have i understood that correctly? So paying 866 dollars for a Pixel 9 Pro?
Can someone tell the actual cost of phone after cancellation post 1st month please? Asking for a friend who is bad at math!
Something approximating 800 ETF + 99 Telstra + 247 Purchase Out of pocket…
1146 worst case, but probably closer to 1113
am I missing something? isn't $1,600 pro rata still $1,600 so where's the discount if you cancel?
Read the Critical Information Summary closely. That’s your contract.
The terms read as "If you cancel the plan, then you must pay a voucher repayment fee to Telstra pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan's minimal term." So if you cancel after 1 month, the minimal term is 24 months, you have to pay back 23 months. i.e. 23 x $99 = $2,277.
Is that correct ?
No. The voucher repayment fee is specified in the Critical Information Summary. It is $800 pro rata.
Not sure about this now. The "$99 upfront plan" says
The $1200 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card will replace the value of the Voucher stated in the Critical Information Summary
The $1200 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card will replace the value of the Voucher stated in the Critical Information Summary.
The Voucher is $800. They’re replacing it with a $1200 voucher.
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.
Voucher Repayment Fee is $800. This does not change.
Read the fine print carefully. The loophole is still there to be used
@SirFrankGrimes: Sorry to be a pain here but new to all this as.i am sure a few others are. Could someone please provide a simple step by step process as to how this all works with the final outcome thanks.
@Dunny74: Walk in and ask for this deal. Pay $99 for plan and get $1600 off new phone.
Go home and cancel plan through JB Hi Fi mobile chat. Confirm termination cost is $767.
Either, keep the phone or return within 30 days for a partial refund and $1600 JB Hi Fi gift voucher.
@SirFrankGrimes: Ok , so total cost if I keep the phone is $99 for the first month plus $767 cancelation fee. total is $866
@Balls1983: Yes, of course. You’re essentially buying a $1600 gift voucher for $866 and a bit of elbow grease. I wouldn’t go walking into JB Hi Fi asking for this deal though haha. Just play the system they’ve created and use the loophole
@SirFrankGrimes: Can you use the $1600 gift card to buy a pixel 9 XL directly later?
1600-866=734 and 1849-734 = 1115
Vs
866+247= 1113
So keeping the phone is a better choice if people still want it.
Is anyone smarter than me able to figure out if these JB deals help with a pixel 8 or 8a?
Read above comments
Yes with the difference there's no extra 350$ gift card.
Has anyone actually gone through and purchased these deals yet?
As I went to the store this morning and the staff didn't know about this deal.
They have 1700$ off for S24 ultra as well for anyone interested, so about the same price for 256GB version.
Can I purchase phone, cancel service and get refund. All in the same day?
Yes
Anyone successfully executed this yet? :)
Anyone really got this deal?
I just went in store and got a Pixel 9 128GB - $0 on a $99 plan. ($1350 voucher applied) They said it would be $800 if I early terminated - which I'm yet to do but will do so tomorrow!
My question now is.. if you get the Samsung s24 ultra which it gives you an extra 300$ JB gift card,when you go to return the device to get refund,are they gonna ask/cancel the gift card they gave you?
Wonder if you can price match to telstra:
https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/mobiles-on-a-plan/s…1899 - 5% = 1804 - 1700 = 104 upfront + 766 + 99= 969 initial out of pocket + 300$ bonus giftcard?
Ah jb doesnt do pm with telstra
They don't? Is that a policy? I can't find it online
Spoke to the rep at the local jb. The $1600 voucher is tied to pixel phones only. If you return the phone, you will get gift card for $1200 only.
I will let you know if I have issues tomorrow. The receipt says 1600 voucher applied. In order to zero it both 247 and the 1600 needs to be refunded. You didn't sign up to a 1200gc plan.
Please let me know how you went, I am very interested and also not quite sure how this works lol.
@slam you are correct in theory. It should also work out in practice. Let us know how it goes
That's for the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This deal post is for the XL.
