Credits to JinTheGod for discovering this via the similar deal for Pixel 9 Pro XL here - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/866174

As confirmed in the previous JB Telstra cancellation deals , the cancellation cost would be $766.59 + $99 for the first month fee
Hence the total cost would be $766.59+$99+$2187-$1700 = $1352.59 for the 256GB Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
In addition to the above, JB is throwing in an extra $300 Bonus Giftcard for this sign up, bringing the cost down to $1052.59

Not bad if you're eyeing the S24U and don't mind exploiting the cancellation loophole.

EDIT: for those who are with Telstra, you might have an opportunity to bring the price lower by asking JB to price match Telstra store.

As quoted, by ShinyDiamond
"I spoke to Jbhifi Melbourne Central, they mentioned they can price match Telstra if I show then in store that I have an active Telstra account. Telstra 256gb is $1899 vs $2187 at jbhifi. They agreed to price match this price.

256gb price = $1899 - $1700 + $99 + $766 = $1064 and $300 gift card"

    Why not get S24+ for free and also get $200 GC?

    May try to price match some other vendor to further S24 price

      The ultra is just a much better phone if you are planning on keeping one

      • Grandslam on 14/09/2024 - 15:56

        The ultra is just a bit bigger than I was wanting. What specifically about the ultra is better? The camera?

        • immrnonamehello on 14/09/2024 - 16:02
          +3

          Mainly the processor. All of the non ultra models come with Exynos and they're just not as good. I'm sure they're still good phones though…

    • Grandslam on 14/09/2024 - 15:53

      I was thinking the same. If I'm not mistaken, the total cost would be $666, including cancellation fee.

      • spy on 14/09/2024 - 15:56

        Huh?

        • Grandslam on 14/09/2024 - 16:05
          +1

          Actually, I think I was a bit off. It would be $1687 (purchase cost) + $766 (cancellation fee) + $99 (1st month plan fee) - $1700 - $200 gift voucher = $652. Let me know if my maths is wrong.

            +2

            @Grandslam: As the phone is less than the 1700 and thus is already paid for by the promotion, I am not sure how the $200 can be applied in this case. Therefore your out of pocket will be $200 higher but you will have a $200 gift card to use for something else. Would that be the case?

    So I checked the terms and conditions here and they say you have to pay the voucher fee to telstra prorated for how long, etc. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0024/9803/5810/files/JB_HI…

    • akyeeeahdude on 14/09/2024 - 17:16

      Correct. Last year I ran the gauntlet and cancelled a JB Hifi Telstra deal and Telstra ended up billing the cancellation fee AND the voucher repayment fee. There was a period of 1-2 years where they didn't bill the voucher repayment fee but that stopped in 2023.

      • brandonstrandy on 14/09/2024 - 22:17

        Wait so how much did it end up being?

        • akyeeeahdude on 15/09/2024 - 08:35

          I've looked back at my 2023 bill and it was actually just the full voucher repayment fee they billed me for. Good news.

  • BargainHunterJohnnyB on 14/09/2024 - 15:40

    I don't get it - is it $1300 voucher or 300? wtf is this even

      1700 off the phone + 300 gc… Not that hard to understand…

      • Suvi36 on 14/09/2024 - 15:45

        where does the $1700 off come from? Sorry might be a stupid question.

        • immrnonamehello on 14/09/2024 - 15:52

          From signing up to the $99 plan. If you don't sign up to the plan you don't get that amount off.

        Na i csnt pay $99 month i dont need the data just the phone. I pay yearly currently voda 365 i paid $130.

      • G-rig on 14/09/2024 - 16:02

        I agree, sounds pretty reasonable. Where's the fun in that though. People like double dipping and these hacks to try and get it as cheap as possible.

        Was good with the pixel 7 deal and all the bonus items (and can sell them), the RRP was less, trade ins more, and would only cost $300-400 outright for a p7.

    • shivaussie on 14/09/2024 - 16:03
      +3

      $766.59+$99+$2749-$1650 = $1964 and a 300$ gift card so it comes to $1664

      • blitzn on 14/09/2024 - 16:04

        Flip6 not fold6

        • shivaussie on 14/09/2024 - 16:05

    'JB is throwing in an extra $300 Bonus Giftcard for this sign up, bringing the cost down to $1052.59'

    I'm assuming like previous deals they give you this after you have paid the initial sign up costs, so it's not actually bringing the overall costs down? More just a 'bonus' for future purchases.

    • OZBsince2018 on 14/09/2024 - 18:15

      Thats correct, but still additional value for any future purchases.

    The upfront cost of $487, can it be paid with JB gift cards or similar, like TCN or Ultimate?

    • G-rig on 14/09/2024 - 16:51

      Sure why not. I've got quite a few JB gift cards and could pay for pre&release deals with them. Returned the P9 so got lumped with another gift card as form of refund, so I certainly hope so.

    • Endynos on 14/09/2024 - 22:33
      +1

      Termination charges are with Telstra not JB, so not likely to be able to with a JB giftcard on that end. Trade in might work towards the upfront costs though

  • jekel on 14/09/2024 - 17:36

    I just bought this. I was able to use the perks voucher $30 off for $300+ spend. Paid $457 at the counter, i can't see why you couldn't buy some gift cards from shopback for example to save a bit more towards this. You can't use the $300 voucher they give you to pay though, that has to be used on something else.

    Thanks op i plan to use the plan for a few weeks then cancel. Only wanted the phone.

    • blitzn on 14/09/2024 - 17:52

      Ah damn i was hoping to use the GC to pay towards the phone.

        Ship and SOLD by Amazon AU (not other sellers on Amazon). 512gb Violet colour ($2,111) is cheaper only, other models are around same market price.

        I spoke to Jbhifi Melbourne Central, they mentioned they can price match Telstra if I show then in store that I have an active Telstra account. Telstra 256gb is $1899 vs $2187 at jbhifi. They agreed to price match this price.

        256gb price = $1899 - $1700 + $99 + $766 = $1064 and $300 gift card

        • bluemyself on 14/09/2024 - 18:21

          Why do you need a Telstra account for the price match? Are Telstra outright purchases only for Telstra customers?

    Their overheads on the $99 a month must be marginally more than some $20 plan. They just make the money back off rubes. Hopefully people can exploit the cancellation.

        • immrnonamehello on 14/09/2024 - 19:43

          I think this is where the $800 is from: https://www.telstra.com.au/help/critical-information-summari…

          So the maximum amount you'd have to pay back is that amount. Seeing as it's 1 month minimum if you cancel, it'll be 23 months worth…800/24*23=766.67

            @immrnonamehello: The terms and conditions state that the $1,700 voucher replaces that amount. It's veryyyy clear, but people are just cherry picking information and making an assumption that companies don't like money.

            It's like these plans are specifically targeted at OzBargain knowing that they love making impulse purchases.

              I'm just trying to fully understand before I sign up, but can't find where your information is coming from.

              Looking at the T&C it just says the base amount /24… Base amount I assume is 800 set in the critical info.
