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"

    Few years back my brother signed this kind of plan with JB, payed up front $1000 for a top of the range iPhone. Plan cancelled in a month, was expecting around $600 bill from telstra which never came, no email, no phone calls and nothing in the mailbox.
    So you never know when you get lucky

      Telstra is known for incompetence, I had over 6 month free nbn from them and a couple of freebies from them from time to time.

      • bozzonac on 15/09/2024 - 22:46

        A few years ago, I was sent 2 of the exact same phones (flagship Samsungs) by Telstra, and they never asked for the 2nd duplicate phone back. I kept it in a box for the first 2 years until I ended my contract (in case they realised and asked for it back) and then gave it away to a friend after no-one wanted it back.

    What amount it shows on invoice for phone? Can u claim trs?

    • aveeno bb on 15/09/2024 - 08:33

      It shows the full phone amount, TRS is possible but may have to pay GST back when you return if you are not travelling with a family to pool the tax free threshold together.

        • lawyerz on 15/09/2024 - 10:18

          And really shitty battery. YouTube it. Typing to you from pixel 8 pro. Also had the 6 pro, 3xl, 2xl, 1

          • G-rig on 15/09/2024 - 10:44

            @lawyerz: Yeah the larger phones will use more battery because of the massive screen.
            i'm not saying it's not an issue, but depends how long you expect to get out of them, I think a day is normal nowadays. You can do quite a lot of tweaks to start with and limit apps backgound behaviour etc.

            Certainly was good when my sony w850i lasted 7 days. Even with the pre-Nexus 6P i remember all those different roms you could load and some had awesome standby (like would only lose a percent or two overnight but when you start using it the thing would plummet).

  • Mazozb on 15/09/2024 - 08:12

    So I need a new phone … And actually a mobile phone plan too (telstra preferred)… So actually the 99 deal without cancelling it is more suited for me .. but then hurts to miss out on the cancelling loophole

    • BargainsGrabber on 15/09/2024 - 08:39

      No, it’s specific only to the s24 ultra

    • 41202 on 15/09/2024 - 08:56

      just canceled?

    • rabid_monkey on 15/09/2024 - 12:34

      Not the $1700 discount & bonus $300 gift card found on the S24, but you can use this method for other phones and get up to $1200 off the phone. You commit to the $99 Telstra plan which gives you $1200 GC towards any phone (there’s also $79 plan with $600 GC), then cancel immediately and the cancellation voucher payment is $800 + $99 (1st mth plan), you then nett $301 from the GC.

  • jekel on 15/09/2024 - 10:47

    Ok just went back to JB today after buying this yesterday and they were happy to price match Telstra 512gb for me but wanted the $300 voucher back which i was fine with. Maybe if you weren't doing a swap you could also get the voucher?

    So real cost to me for the 512gb version was $2099-$1700+$800+99=$1298 and no voucher.

    • U30004 on 15/09/2024 - 10:53

    • Nitpin on 15/09/2024 - 11:19

      Why no voucher? Isn't that part of the deal. Are you not losing out on 300$ with this

      • jekel on 15/09/2024 - 11:54

        They told me price match or giftcard can't have both when allowing me to swap. Larger phone and price match suited me better than smaller phone and technically more $$ on a giftcard that i didnt have anything i want to buy at jb currently.

        I dont know if you would have more luck at Melb central jb who said they'd match and getting the deeal for the first time not a swap.

    • G-rig on 15/09/2024 - 11:20

      They don't miss you for phone storage these days!
      so 1298/23 months = $56 vs $99 on the plan (and no up front out of pocket(?).
      I got a boost sim but wouldn't port that. Wouldn't JB have signed you up on a telstra plan anyway?

      I think the plan is alright for people that want the data etc.
      Otherwise the pixel pre-order deals work out better imo with bonus trade + GC (and trade value when send phone in).
      Can always sell privately but not exactly worth the effort these days nor get much more.

      • milanoxpress on 15/09/2024 - 14:39

        Also waiting for the Pixel 9 Pro pre-order deal from JBHiFi.

        I was tossing up between the plain Pixel 9 or Pixel 9 Pro but the ship has sailed for the plain P9 pre-order deal from JB so unless P9 is significantly discounted say to $900-$1000 range I leaning towards P9pro.

        My priority is size of phone & long battery life. That's about it these days.

        Pixel 8 was just ok for battery life. I want better battery life that P8 provided.

        When is the expected pre-order date for Pixel 9 Pro for JB?

        • G-rig on 15/09/2024 - 15:10
          +1

          Agree I think the P9 Pro is worth the extra $350 over P9, but you get $390 trade instead of $300 (based on trade of a P8 128GB). So only an extra $260, and you get the sighly better camera, ram, screen (and 1 year AI, don't really care about that too much).

          Agree, I'm keen on the smaller form and have the p8 now (also had P5, P7 which seemed to have a bit better battery life than p8). The XL etc have bigger batteries but the big screen milks it. I think the G4 CPU will use up the difference in the better battery of the P9 vs P8's G3. P8 is fine but screen on time reduces it on most phones, lasts ages if you aren't on it too often.

          Yeah the 24th is 5 weeks away so hopefully we'll hear something about it in 2-3 weeks.

    • jecec on 15/09/2024 - 11:45

      Can i ask how much was printed on the tax invoice. Ie. How much did it say you had to pay?

      Asking for tax claims purposes.

      Also, have you cancelled the plan?

      • jekel on 15/09/2024 - 12:05

        Shows phone at $2099 but as mine was a exchange/price match showed -$58 they were refunding me.

        Yesterday's one showed $2187 less discounts $457 to pay (used jb perks $30 off on this one).

        Plan I will cancel after a few weeks so can get some use out of it.

      • G-rig on 15/09/2024 - 12:08

        dunno i'm waiting for the pixel 9 Pro

        $450 out of pocket sounds ok for the S24U, maybe that's the attraction of getting it on a plan, but people will still then have to payback $800 I thought. Headache, easier getting something cheaper outright

    • bigbadboogieman on 15/09/2024 - 15:11

      So they said no to me to match Telstra but happily matched to Centrecom for $2149 for 512GB and also gave me the $300 giftcard. Out of pocket was $449 reduced to $426.55 (5% discounted Giftcard) but got the $300 Giftcard. Now need to work out the $99 per month charge.

  • jekel on 15/09/2024 - 10:59

    • U30004 on 15/09/2024 - 11:58

      • jekel on 15/09/2024 - 12:08

        No idea i had a statement so showed that. As long as a you had a way to show you can buy from Telstra outright i think its fine.

        Below is on Telstra site for anyone else wondering why they need this to price match for you.

        If you already have a service with us, you can buy outright without adding a plan. Plan price may change.

      I find the deal from Samsung themselves works out to be the best. I think I paid about $1,100 for the 256gb version of the S24U.

    • worthy1 on 15/09/2024 - 12:00

      That's what I think I will wait for, if I can put up with my crappy pixel 8 pro for that long. Probably around 6 months away from that announcement and hopefully deals. Normally I'm not too fussed with getting the newest but the rumours are they are 'redesigning the galaxy series for a fresh feel' plus usually at least guaranteed better camera's, battery etc.

      This deal is tempting but similar to what people got on release with Samsung stacks, so hoping for similar for the s25U. I do miss my S21 ultra…

          I showed them that it's Australian seller, and under additional details it states that it is AUS stock. If it was gray import than definitly i understand. I asked them to confirm the model number as AUS stock model number will be same, so they check. I also showed them S24U sold by Amazon AU as well, which was $100 more, and i was happy to do that as well. They gave me on other one, so happy ending.

      This will not be price matched because it's not aus stock and warranty is by third party. The amazon one states it's australian stock

      • beOson on 15/09/2024 - 15:01

          That's weird, they did both for me and the $30 off from the perks

    According to conversations among staff members… It seems that there was recently company wide briefing about the 1700 only available for the ticket price… So price match is probably no more.
