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"

            @immrnonamehello: according to your link…

            What happens when I cancel my plan early?
            You’ll need to repay Telstra for any vouchers you received when you purchased your plan. The Voucher Repayment Fee (if applicable) is pro-rated, equal to the total amount of the base voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by months (or part months) remaining in your plan term.

            It's a bit confusing…

          • dealhunting007 on 14/09/2024 - 21:37

            @immrnonamehello: I know what you are saying and it happened to me last time as well, but this time they have the following in their T&Cs:

            Voucher Repayment Fee
            6.2 If you received a JB Hi-Fi Voucher when you purchased your Mobile Service and you cancel
            that Mobile Service within any applicable Voucher Term, you must pay us the outstanding
            amounts for the JB Hi-Fi Voucher you received for the cancelled Mobile Service (the Voucher
            Repayment Fee).
            6.3 The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base
            Voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by the months (or part months) remaining in your
            Voucher Term. For example, if received a voucher with a 24-month Voucher Term, then in:
            (a) Month 1: You will need to repay 23/24 of the Voucher you received;
            (b) Month 12: You will need to repay 11/24 of the Voucher you received; and
            (c) Month 23: You will need to repay 1/24 of the Voucher you received.
            6.4 If you cease making payment for your Mobile Service under our Financial Hardship Policy,
            then each month during which payments are suspended will be added to the Voucher Term.
            6.5 Where you are required to pay the Voucher Repayment Fee, we will issue you with a bill for
            the amount payable, which you can pay using a payment method of your choice within 10
            days. If you don’t pay it within 10 days, then we will automatically deduct the amount owing
            from the bank account, debit card or credit card that you have nominated for your AutoPay
            payments.

              @dealhunting007: Key word (amongst others) is ‘base’. The base fee is $800. Get your facts right before scaremongering with false information. I’ve done this sign up > cancel before with no issues and I’ll do it all over again until the loophole is closed

    Can someone help me find the T&C stating that the Cancellation fee is maximum $766? This is not including tge first month bill for $99.
    What I can only find is once cancelled, I have to pay for the voucher fee, which is unclear how much I need to pay for the cancellation fee.

    Note guys… its not $800/24 x 23. Its $1700/24 x 23.

    The $1700 off the purchase price of a Samsung Galaxy S24+ or Ultra phone(referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions) will be applied to the purchase price of a Samsung Galaxy S24+ OR Ultra phone and available to you instore after connection approval by Telstra. 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.

    And heres the Telstra terms and condition…
    Voucher Repayment Fee
    6.2 If you received a JB Hi-Fi Voucher when you purchased your Mobile Service and you cancel
    that Mobile Service within any applicable Voucher Term, you must pay us the outstanding
    amounts for the JB Hi-Fi Voucher you received for the cancelled Mobile Service (the Voucher
    Repayment Fee).

    • aveeno bb on 14/09/2024 - 20:16

      Regardless of what it says, Telstra cis still quotes $800 as the max voucher repayment fee. So what changed that is different to the loophole there was for the pixel deal?

      • jecec on 14/09/2024 - 20:24
        +5

        Sure. You are right. 2 points.

        1) On that same CIS, the eligible voucher is $800. You do bot received a voucher of $800 in this case.

        2) On the linked promi page, these terms and conditions are stated.
        "The $1700 off the purchase price of a Samsung Galaxy S24+ or Ultra phone(referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions) will be applied to the purchase price of a Samsung Galaxy S24+ OR Ultra phone and available to you instore after connection approval by Telstra. 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."

        Pretty clear cut.

        I don't need to win this argument. I'm happy to stand corrected and will genuinely be happy for us ozbargainer to give it to the big man.

        But im just stating what i'be read from the legal terms and condition which will be referenced in the contract that you sign.

            @Fuego: A few lawyers here… ;)

            The T&Cs are one thing. The reality is another. Sometimes IT systems and processes are sometimes really hard to align 100%.

            Sometimes loopholes do exist. I hope this is one of them… but if Telstra do chooses to, we'll get many people upset here.

            That said, challengability of all things considered in this case. Its not watertight for Telstra/JB.

              @jecec: I know what you are saying and i did not have to pay anything with their last tine $69/m offer. However, this time they have specifically mentioned in their T&Cs:

              2 VOUCHER CONTRACT TERM
              2.1 If you received a JB Hi-Fi Voucher when you purchased a service on a JB Hi-Fi Mobile Upfront
              Plan, the Voucher may have a fixed term of 24 months (Voucher Term).

              Voucher Repayment Fee
              6.2 If you received a JB Hi-Fi Voucher when you purchased your Mobile Service and you cancel
              that Mobile Service within any applicable Voucher Term, you must pay us the outstanding
              amounts for the JB Hi-Fi Voucher you received for the cancelled Mobile Service (the Voucher
              Repayment Fee).
              6.3 The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base
              Voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by the months (or part months) remaining in your
              Voucher Term. For example, if received a voucher with a 24-month Voucher Term, then in:
              (a) Month 1: You will need to repay 23/24 of the Voucher you received;
              (b) Month 12: You will need to repay 11/24 of the Voucher you received; and
              (c) Month 23: You will need to repay 1/24 of the Voucher you received.
              6.4 If you cease making payment for your Mobile Service under our Financial Hardship Policy,
              then each month during which payments are suspended will be added to the Voucher Term.
              6.5 Where you are required to pay the Voucher Repayment Fee, we will issue you with a bill for
              the amount payable, which you can pay using a payment method of your choice within 10

              from the bank account, debit card or credit card that you have nominated for your AutoPay
              payments.

              They actually specified that the$1700 off is actually referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions. And these Telstra plans are actually not Telstra specific by special JB hi-fi telstra plans.

              I might be wrong, but not getting a good feeling about it.

              • jecec on 14/09/2024 - 23:07

                @dealhunting007: Exactly. The T&C are quite specific and clear.

                However, that said, im gonna try. But making sure the box is not opened and i can return it.

                Do you know what their policy is like specifically with mobile phones? Are they funny about returns, particulary with so many vouchers and gift cards involved in the sale?

              @aveeno bb: That is the problem with loopholes. If they realise they messed up the first time then it only takes a few words changed to fix it for the next 'deal'. They aren't in the business of taking losses.

              I haven't looked at this one myself so hope everyone gets the bargain but I'd beware of any second loophole. I was lucky to get the pixel 8 pro on a similar Harvey Norman/Optus loophole, can't say I've seen it pop-up from them again and would be reading it very closely if it did appear again

              Good luck to everyone though, I was tempted to look into it further as hate my 8 pro and want to get back on Samsung. Will Hodl for some s25U deals next year!

                @worthy1: Fair point. That's the thing, HN had a loophole, and they fixed it recently. As with JB, people can decide for themselves if they exploit the loophole while it's there, and the community will share it with the rest once the loophole is fixed. I don't understand how some so-called "lawyers" try to look smart but never post any deals themselves, or try to find out before they just read off the Ts and Cs.

    The comments on these deals always drive me mad. The cancellation fee is $800, regardless of the voucher you receive in store. I work in store. Do not believe the keyboard lawyers who think the terms are “clear cut” but in reality cannot read the terms to save themselves.

    Ask any member of staff in store. It’s not a secret. We are allowed to tell you the maximum termination fee but not allowed to sell it to you on the basis that you sign up and cancel.

    There’s nothing hidden happening here. All info is public.

    • JinTheGod on 14/09/2024 - 22:06

      So even on pixel or s24u the cancellation fee is the same 800$?

        Any $99 plan has the same cancellation fee of $800.

        It does not matter how much of a gift card you get from JB.

        If JB give you a $35,000,000 gift card the cancellation fee would still be $800.

        So yes, all the pixel deals, the $1200 deal and these Samsung deals have the same ETF.

  • theycallmeXYZ on 14/09/2024 - 22:00

    Coming over here from the JB Pixel 9 Pro XL deal
    Regarding this S24U deal, I cannot for the life of me see how the cancellation fee would be only $800, or $766 as some are claiming ?

    On the JB Hi-Fi Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra web site, the most important fine print says;
    The $1700 off the purchase price of a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (referred to as the 'JB Hi-Fi Voucher' in the Telstra Terms and Conditions)

    Then, when you read the Telstra Terms and Conditions, it clearly states:

    Voucher Repayment Fee
    6.2 If you received a JB Hi-Fi Voucher when you purchased your Mobile Service and you cancel that Mobile Service within any applicable Voucher Term, you must pay us the outstanding amounts for the JB Hi-Fi Voucher you received for the cancelled Mobile Service (the Voucher Repayment Fee)
    6.3 The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base
    Voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by the months (or part months) remaining in your Voucher Term. For example, if received a voucher with a 24-month Voucher Term, then in:
    (a) Month 1: You will need to repay 23/24 of the Voucher you received;
    (b) Month 12: You will need to repay 11/24 of the Voucher you received; and
    (c) Month 23: You will need to repay 1/24 of the Voucher you received.

    Source:
    https://www.telstra.com.au/content/dam/tcom/personal/consume…

    I was so close to pulling the trigger on the Pixel 9 Pro XL, then saw this S24U deal, but now that I have read the fine print, I am not sure either of these are deals at all ?

      If the deal isn’t for you then it isn’t :)

      I have personally signed up to the Pixel 9 Pro XL deal and can confirm that the voucher repayment fee is $766.59

      • theycallmeXYZ on 14/09/2024 - 22:29

        Thanks for the reassurance :)
        the deal is for me and i want to pull the trigger, happy with the voucher repayment fee being $766.59 or even $800

        Because the JB S24U web page says the voucher value is $1700, the Telstra terms appears to say the voucher repayment fee would be $1700 ?
        I understand if the voucher value was $800, then voucher repayment fee would be $766.59 or $800

        I will goto JB tomorrow and give it a go

          the Telstra terms appears to say the voucher repayment fee would be $1700

          Where does it mention this? The JB Hi-Fi Voucher and voucher repayment fee are 2 separate things. Does this specifically mention online in the CIS?

          You’re signing up to the base $99 Telstra plan and Telstra will sponsor the $800 and JB will top the rest up from their own funding. This has been the case for a long while, hence why you’re only repaying the $800, not the $1700

          • theycallmeXYZ on 14/09/2024 - 22:43

            @BargainsGrabber: sorry, what i wrote should have said:
            Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base Voucher

            I thought the 'base voucher' value would be $1700 (from JB S24U web site), hence the voucher repayment fee would be $1700 ?
            I am happy that the voucher repayment fee is $800, less 1st month = $766.59

            • BargainsGrabber on 14/09/2024 - 22:46

              @theycallmeXYZ: Ahh I figured that you were referring to that.

              I did see that clause in the JB newsletter today but nope, this wouldn’t change when you sign up anyway

              You can always ask them to print out the CIS or ask them to show it to you on screen before you print your signature on the form

              • theycallmeXYZ on 17/09/2024 - 23:22

                @BargainsGrabber: wanted to provide an update; let you know I picked up the S24U yesterday, & cancelled today, all went exactly as you described.
                Today received the Early Termination charge for remaining 23 months at $766.59
                Really appreciate the effort and energy you put into making Ozbargain such a great community :)

      Easy, the answer you seek is within your comment.

      “6.3 The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base
      Voucher divided by 24…”

      The base voucher is $800 not $1700.

      It’s really simple.

      • SirFrankGrimes on 14/09/2024 - 23:00

        I’ll reiterate…it’s really simple

    • OZBsince2018 on 14/09/2024 - 23:53

      This was discussed in hundreds of comments on the same deal for Pixel 9 Pro XL deal. I availed that deal and can confirm what OP posted is correct. Already cancelled and paid the cancellation fee exactly same what OP posted.

  • dealhunting007 on 14/09/2024 - 22:05

    || EVERYONE PLEASE BE CAREFUL: IT IS A GREAT DEAL BUT T&C LOOKS DIFFERENT THIS TIME||

    This time they have specifically mentioned in their T&Cs:

    =======
    2 VOUCHER CONTRACT TERM
    2.1 If you received a JB Hi-Fi Voucher when you purchased a service on a JB Hi-Fi Mobile Upfront
    Plan, the Voucher may have a fixed term of 24 months (Voucher Term).

    Voucher Repayment Fee
    6.2 If you received a JB Hi-Fi Voucher when you purchased your Mobile Service and you cancel
    that Mobile Service within any applicable Voucher Term, you must pay us the outstanding
    amounts for the JB Hi-Fi Voucher you received for the cancelled Mobile Service (the Voucher
    Repayment Fee).
    6.3 The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base
    Voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by the months (or part months) remaining in your
    Voucher Term. For example, if received a voucher with a 24-month Voucher Term, then in:
    (a) Month 1: You will need to repay 23/24 of the Voucher you received;
    (b) Month 12: You will need to repay 11/24 of the Voucher you received; and
    (c) Month 23: You will need to repay 1/24 of the Voucher you received.
    6.4 If you cease making payment for your Mobile Service under our Financial Hardship Policy,
    then each month during which payments are suspended will be added to the Voucher Term.
    6.5 Where you are required to pay the Voucher Repayment Fee, we will issue you with a bill for
    the amount payable, which you can pay using a payment method of your choice within 10
    days. If you don’t pay it within 10 days, then we will automatically deduct the amount owing
    from the bank account, debit card or credit card that you have nominated for your AutoPay
    payments.

    =======

    They actually specified that the$1700 off is actually referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions. And these Telstra plans are actually not Telstra specific by special JB hi-fi telstra plans.

    The plan cancellation and voucher return are two separate things. Customers may end up paying both, if they cancel early.

    I might be wrong, so please double check with JB Hi-fi sales person first. I will do the same tomorrow morning.

      The answer is within your comment.

      “6.3 The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base
      Voucher divided by 24…”

      The base voucher is $800 not $1700.

      The terms are not different this time. The cancellation fee is $800.

      • dealhunting007 on 14/09/2024 - 22:31

        So what you are saying is the CIS we are signing has maximum value of $800 to be returned, even though they are giving $1700. Unless CIS gets changed to $1700, we are good and covered?

        That make sense.

      • dealhunting007 on 15/09/2024 - 21:13

        Thank you, you were right. They key was the maximum voucher return value mentioned in CIS, that was $800.

    • BargainsGrabber on 14/09/2024 - 22:09
      +5

      As many times have said in many of the JB Telstra deals, and for my sake again, the JB Hi-Fi voucher won’t be updated to $1700 in the CIS once you signed up

      This will remain at $800 despite how many deals I have signed up to previously as well

      • dealhunting007 on 14/09/2024 - 22:33

        Thanks for the clarification. It doesn't matter what we are getting what matter is what's the maximum return as per the CIS we sign at that time. Which should state $800 not $1700

        • BargainsGrabber on 14/09/2024 - 22:39

          Agreed - I wish I can sign up to this one but I’m currently on cautious with Telstra as I have signed up and cancelled too many recently

          Will try again in a few months

    • aveeno bb on 14/09/2024 - 23:24

      At the bottom, it also says:

      TELSTRA STANDARD TERMS –JB HI-FI MOBILE UPFRONT SERVICE TERMS WAS LAST UPDATED ON 02 JULY 2024

      Nothing has changed.

    • OZBsince2018 on 14/09/2024 - 23:54

      These are exactly the same terms and conditions that were in Pixel deal too. But I was only charged $766 when ai cancelled.

      • Goodproduction on 15/09/2024 - 14:58

        And plus the first month bill $99 ya?

        • OZBsince2018 on 15/09/2024 - 15:07
          +1

          Yes. Thats charged upfront when you sign up as these are monthly upfront plans and not typical postpaid plans.

  • simosimo on 14/09/2024 - 22:19

    Anyone cancelled already to confirm?

    • [Deactivated] on 14/09/2024 - 22:19

      Yes.

      • beOson on 14/09/2024 - 22:50

        Cancelled on the same day? Received both the device and the $300 GC?

        • BargainsGrabber on 14/09/2024 - 22:55
          +1

          $300 GC should be given to you on same day once your Telstra order has turned to confirmed (mine took a solid one week for this but since I made the order during the promo period, JB has to honour the Pixel preorder bonus)

          After that you can cancel your service, but since you’ve already spent your $99 for first month, just set a reminder to cancel on last day or port over to another provider

            @BargainsGrabber: Keen to know if i can return the phone then purchase other phone,thought?

              @DraggyX: Someone dm’ed me on this, and I sent the same link to him, essentially no
              The upsized gift card offer will revert to the base $800 gc offer if you return the phone.

  • pokus on 14/09/2024 - 22:54

    Maximum repayment fee for $99 plan is $766.67

    https://www.telstra.com.au/content/dam/tcom/help/critical-in…

    Whoever started the $1700 repayment discussion are just being confusing…

      • pokus on 14/09/2024 - 23:34

        Read the pdf from Telstra. The Voucher is $800 and the Voucher Repayment Fee is pro-rated, equal to the total amount of the base voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by months (or part months) remaining in your plan term.

        The $1700 off from JB is consider as "The Voucher", in which in this $99 plan it is $800. Like others mentioned, regardless of how much JB gives the discount ($1 or $1million), the Voucher is still $800 according to Telstra

    • evilhomura89 on 14/09/2024 - 23:35

      My take on this issue is simple
      If you really want in on the deal, go in-store, talk to the staff discuss your concerns and look through the CIS that before signing it.
      If you're happy with what they're telling you, go ahead. If not, just walkaway.

      There are many success cases as shared before, and there are also people who are not willing to take the risk….then we have keyboard lawyers who are trying to discourage people from it.

      • pokus on 14/09/2024 - 23:43

        The keyboard lawyer was very active few hours ago :P

        • evilhomura89 on 15/09/2024 - 01:50

          Oh well, looking forward to good news from those who are trying :)

    • G-rig on 15/09/2024 - 06:21

      It was a much easier life with a Motorola razor v3 flip phone haha. Unreal the effort people are going to here to rort the system.

      Is the s24 ultra that great? It is tempting but they are massive phones, think I now prefer the form factor of the smaller pixel so may as well continue to wait for the 9 Pro. Can use with one hand which is very convenient, over washing around with a tablet (pixel 3XL was my last big phone).
