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"

      I heard just now from another friend, seems like some store are using that statement now that is told by their manager. JB Hifi hoppers crossing is one of those. Try another store i would say.

    Has anyone returned the phone and got the 1700 gift card as refund?

  • the stingy gamer on 15/09/2024 - 15:01

    Went into Gepps Cross JB, asked them to price match Telstra and got no pushback. Bought 2, one for me and one for the missus. At least on the second phone we could use the gift card towards to cost difference. For those discussing it in chat, the JB rep said it's definitely max cancellation fee of $800 and NOT the voucher pro-rata for the phone. I was hesitant but that sold me.

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

      Which storage you went with? Good to know that they are still price matching Telstra. Enjoy your new phone.

      • the stingy gamer on 15/09/2024 - 17:23

        Thanks. 256GB Ultra. We almost got the missus a 24+ because they would have price matched that to Telstra too and it ended up with the $200 voucher + a bit extra of a voucher due to the price match but in the end we went 2x Ultra.

        • buddysayshi on 15/09/2024 - 20:40

          Thank you for the update. Great phone, hope it serves you for the years to come. 7 years of software support is really great.

    • anhtarus on 15/09/2024 - 15:37

      Went to Gepps Cross too and tried to do it too with the Fold 6 256gb phone, but the sales rep who saw me wouldnt price match Telstra's. Sigh

      Do you know which sales rep you talked to?

      Or any sales rep PM directly so I can ask for you directly when I head to the stores again Monday.

      Tks

      • the stingy gamer on 15/09/2024 - 17:25

        Unsure of the name, sorry. He said that there was discussions about the Ultra specifically and it was all approved by someone. The 24+ would have had a decent enough deal too but for the cost difference we thought it was a no brainer to get 2 Ultra.

  • Ozico on 15/09/2024 - 15:04

    Please correct me I am wrong, but I believe you can still use the service until the next pay cycle even if you cancel it next day. In this case, $99 wouldn't look as much of a loss.

    • OZBsince2018 on 15/09/2024 - 15:49

      No, you loose the plan once cancelled. If you want to use the service, then cancel a day before next monthly payment is taken.

  • megi on 15/09/2024 - 15:20

    I was unable to claim this deal because I used my Telstra account for the recent Z Flip6 deal, does anyone have a solution for this? The guy at JB suggested bringing in another person to sign up, but surely there are easier ways ie. creating a new Telstra account?

    • OZBsince2018 on 15/09/2024 - 15:47
      +1

      Creating another Telstra account won’t help, as it will still be using the same ID. Generally you have to wait 6 months to get this block off. Can work earlier too, so keep trying. Best solution is to subscribe using someone else

      • megi on 15/09/2024 - 16:05

        I see, thanks for the prompt reply!

    • bargainfinder on 15/09/2024 - 17:32

      Were you rejected when applying credit check on their system? I was rejected today and were recently signed up and cancel this exact $99 plan last month.

      • megi on 15/09/2024 - 21:11

        That's what happened to me, I did the credit check and was denied. Did you have any luck afterwards?

          • megi on 15/09/2024 - 21:18

            @bargainfinder: That might be the case, I am still waiting for my fee too. Hopefully, someone else has had some luck.

  • jeeg on 15/09/2024 - 15:26

    We just came back from JB and got the deal. We first bought a $2 optus sim card for a spare phone, recharge $12 so that it is active. Then went to JB and got the 256GB model. Paid $487 for the phone and $99 for the phone plan. Given the $300 cash voucher on the spot. Will proceed to cancel the phone plan later.

    Thanks Op. Great deal.

    JB Marion were happy to price match 1700 at Amazon for the 256gb silver. Cancellation penalty is $800 according to rep and the paper work. Upfront cost is zero for the phone and $99 for the plan. He also gave me the $300 gift card without me asking for it.

  • Ping pong on 15/09/2024 - 15:57

    Got this deal though I didn't cancel yet and waiting for plan to show up in Telstra app. Bought a new SIM and did price match. JB didn't accept Amazon or Telstra and only accepted centre com for price match. Cost out of pocket now for 256 mb s24u (2050 - 1700 +99= 450). I have recieved a coupon of 300$. So cost is 150$ plus cancellation(760 something). Not sure how to cancel it though. Telstra app doesn't show any service activated but one can wait up to a month as 99$ is paid for this month.

      This plan will show in JB Hifi App. Download that and use the chat function in the App to cancel the plan.

      So $950 all up out of pocket after you pay back $800 good for a s24u? Guess that's half price.. seems good.

      Don't know who would pay full price for any phone, what's the point of jacking up the RRP then getting massive discounts for new phones as soon as they are released.. Crazy.

    Went to my JB asked if they could price match the $1919 for the 512GB (government portal), couldn't match that, which I expected.

    Was told if I opted for the telstra price it would be completely through Telstra, so no $1700 voucher (why bother)

    I was offered the 512GB at JB for $2160 but I would not receive the $300 gift card as that is only eligible on the ticketed price.

    I left without purchasing.

    • dealhunting007 on 15/09/2024 - 16:39

      Price match with Amazon. $1699 gor 256gb. They did it in VIC for me and many i referred on multiple stores.

    Can confirm JB staff have in their notes for this phone that they are not to price match on the telstra plan offer - Centrecom is the best they'll do, may need to update OP with this info (as well as keeping the fact that some are still fluking the price match from less experienced staff im guessing)

    • rensman on 15/09/2024 - 16:44

        • dubcmj on 15/09/2024 - 17:36

          This deal involves purchasing the phone outright using the voucher given when signing up to the Telstra plan. The phone is not on the plan and the plan is not mentioned on the tax invoice for the phone.

          • G-rig on 15/09/2024 - 18:27

            @dubcmj: Maybe you got a different one to everyone else. $99/m and cancel contract. Doesn't sound good for tax then.
            Bit of a cluster lol

            • dubcmj on 15/09/2024 - 20:19

              @G-rig: $99 per month is for the mobile plan from Telstra. The s24 ultra is purchased outright from JB Hifi. Perhaps someone else can explain it to you better.

  • P1nk on 15/09/2024 - 17:05

        • beOson on 15/09/2024 - 17:32

          I am curious why no one posted a deal about the S24+ (assuming some people prefer a lighter and cheaper S24 device). Apparently, the $1700 off promo is also available for the S24+.

          • P1nk on 15/09/2024 - 17:51

            @beOson: Same. I wonder what's the total cost incl cancellation and fees. Currently it's $1399 at telstra and $1687 at jb and I wonder if this could be price matched. $1399 - $1700. Not sure if anyone know what's gonna happen to the excess of the $1700 voucher which is $301 plus the $200gc. I hope someone looks into this with better explanation.

              @P1nk: I did the deal today for an S24U.

              They physically fill out a voucher for 1700 and use it to pay towards the phone.

              They also price matched telstra

              From that you can assume that you'll end up with leftover cash on your voucher. Once the phone transaction is complete they will fill out another $300 voucher.

            • beOson on 15/09/2024 - 18:00

              @P1nk: I haven't decided which one to go for yet but I assume for the S24+ you get the phone for $0 upfront. The rest is the same. If you get the $301 back in GC form, it's a plus.

          • dealhunting007 on 15/09/2024 - 21:01

    Got back from the local JB a couple of hours ago. I was after the 512GB version. Asked them to price match Telstra ($2,099), but got refused. Then asked them to price match Centrecom ($2,149) which they were happy to do. Pushed a bit more to still price match Telstra, and succeeded this time. In short, got the deal with the phone price of $2,099. Paid in-store: $2,099-1700+99=$498. The rep confirmed the cancellation fee is $800 if canceled in the first month. In total: $498+$800=$1,298. Plus received my $300 gift card (no expiry).
