Effective Price if you want to cancel: $1847 ($1700 off) = $147 + 99 + $767.66 = $1046 - $350 Jbhifi gift card!
So $662.67 for a new pink pixel 9 pro <3
Anyone had any luck today getting the gc in Sydney?
Struggling to find much 256gb stock.
Does anyone know… If I signed up to this deal today and reserved one from the next re-stock, and then cancelled the service today before actually receiving the phone - would that cause any problems?
I would not risk it…
Why cancel the service today instead of waiting until you get your phone?
Decided to hold off until they restock
Got the 256GB model.
Had to go to a different store since the first one was out of stock, and he said it'd be difficult to get one transferred since other nearby stores also only had 1 left and would be hesitant to give it up. Didn't bother pushing as it's 30mns before they closed anyway so I just went to a different store next day.
Paid for the phone, $147. I asked the cashier about a $350 gift card offer and she went "Oh right, yeah you get one as well". About halfway through issuing the card another cashier asked her if I got a plan with the phone, if so I wasn't supposed to get the GC. She somehow convinced him it was okay and I got the GC anyway lol. They seem to be on it now and more and more staff members are becoming aware, but still not everyone it seems.
Cancelled the plan at home using Telstra app live chat, fee was $766.59. Also asked for $99 refund, they said yes and will email me in 5 days once the payment clears.
All together: $1847 - $1700 - 350 + 766.59 = 563.59 for a new P9P :)
Which store?
It was in Melbourne.
I visited Bankstown and roseland. But no luck. They are happy to give discount $147 but no gift cards
Just tried to signup. Have they changed the terms and conditions? Wouldn't give me the $350
They changed them later on on launch day
About 5pm wa time on Thursday as I had trouble getting it at the till. They had to look on their system for updated memo.
Waited 30 mins to talk to someone. Wanted any colour other than pink. Only had pink. Said I'll just get pink then proceeded to call other stores for 20 minutes. Had to say it 3 times I'll just take the pink one.
Couldn't port out of boost, no gift card. I'll just get something for $300 and save my monies.
Thinking about this as a replacement for my Mi9T that's going to stop working tomorrow…
Since it says new number even though I'm currently with Telstra can I just get get a new sim/plan in store, not activate it and insert my old one after canceling the 99/month plan?
That's what I did, just get a new number and cancel it. I believe they already activate the sim card for you on the spot, but it shouldn't matter. You might get better luck for the refund of the initial $99 though if you argue you have never used the sim card at all.
Thanks! That's good to know.
Luck of the draw re getting a $99 refund from Telstra. Keep talking to em until you find someone that'll process it for you
How are you contacting them through Telstra without an active service? Just normal chat without logging in?
Registered for a Telstra id and logged in thru myTelstra app. Did not activate SIM. Customer service could see my service details (i.e $99 plan)
Salesperson reminded me to get the gift card from the counter when I pay then the cashier hit up someone and said not to issue one.
Bit frustrating that I was specifically told to grab it as did the other person getting same deal as me which he got, but I didn't ….
Did you tell the salesperson after that?
Unfortunately no, they had finished up for the day. Took me a while at the registers as there was a bit of a line
Worth contacting specific sales person tomorrow?
The guy that came and spoke to me seems like he was some manager or something so dunno if sales person can actually do anything
No harm trying so just push them tomorrow.
You should definitely try as it was confirmed to you prior to the sale.
First time doing this had a look through the Telstra app and JB app where does one cancel the plan or do I need to chat? Don't see any active services
Thanks
Think it can take up to 24 hours to appear, and I think you need to chat too
I didn't see it in my account either, just jumped on Telstra chat and the person cancelled it for me.
Yep you're right had to go through Telstra chat. Cheers
Hey guys,
Have the 256GB P8P but very keen to get a smaller phone… Technically I could return this phone still for a refund, as having consistent reception issues (!!!), but can't really be bothered for that hassle… Would be a $1010 refund via gift card.
I noticed that P9P page on the JB website now offers a $400 additional bonus for trade ins ($930 total including $530 offered for P8P 256GB), can I assume that this would not stack with the $1700 discount?
And if that's correct, I would at least still get the $350 gift card too, right?
Thanks so much :)
Put it in noodles overnight.
(Replied in the other thread).
Thanks so much ;)
I purchased my Pixel 9 Pro XL for $1600 last month and now have the opportunity to return it to the seller due to a fault. Should I return it and opt for the Pixel 9 Pro instead, considering the significantly better deal currently available at JB Hi-Fi? Any suggestions?
Yep
Anyone successfully return the phone? What will be the maximum value we can get back as gift card?
Do it and let us know
Reason for return..?
I would advise against returning the phone when it attached to a gift card from the mobile deal. Better sell it on ebay or FB Marketplace for less hassle. My personal experience from the previous deal S24 Ultra is not pleasant. They looked at you like a fraudster regardless of you telling them it is a genuine change of mind return. I tried 6 stores in Melbourne. All said the phone cannot be returned because it attached to the mobile contract. You can try if you are willing to visit a lot of stores and have the unpleasant feelings. I heard some were successful getting the refund.
The stores I tried are (to save you some travel time :) ): Maribyrnong, Highpoint, Preston, South Wharf, Brunswick, Altona.
Wow thanks for sharing your experience. That was a lot of efforts to tried on 6 stores. So you gave up after that?
Just keep it, sounds like you didn't you need a free phone. Marketplace and 100s of low ballers and drainbows is still a lot of effort haha.
@G-rig: It's not free. At minimum they cost $700 or so and easily a day of work (to get it, comment on it, and sell it). You would have had your credit also checked
I signed up a couple of days ago, unfortunately did not do my due diligence of reading OzBargain comments regarding the $350 voucher. My wife signed up the following day after we scouted a store that honours the $350 GC promo and was successful. We also both managed to get the $99 refund from Telstra chat upon the first attempt. My tip would be to be polite and concise with what you want, make it as easy for the rep as possible.
To those who successfully ordered in a Pixel from another store that had stock, did they give you another tax invoice on pickup?
The tax invoice I received at the time of placing the stock transfer does not show GST for the phone (GST = $0), saying it's not taxable which is unusual. I'm wondering whether that's just a quirk in the system and an updated tax invoice with GST included will be issued when I go to pick up the phone.
Same case for me last time JB had deal on ipad pro. They transferred it from another store. When picking up, remember asking the staff the reprint the Receipt showing the GST. I used this for TRS when flying overseas.
Thanks for replying, so I don't have anything to be worried about then? It's my first time ordering stock from another store and I couldn't see why it would affect the GST amount on the initial receipt (must be an internal policy thing).
Can you confirm that the first receipt had no GST, but when you went to pick up and asked for a receipt reprint, the GST magically appeared?
Hey guys,
Just got the 256GB one from Leichhardt.
$350 Gift card not included. And I got their last phone as well.
Going to cancel the plan tomorrow, and try to get a $99 refund from Telstra tomorrow too.
Both this and HN deals run until 5th November. It's probable that something will come up, but there's no telling whether it'll be Pixel related. Based on how hard stock levels have been hit already, I'd say it's probably unlikely unless they prepared to get hit this hard. I must say, both stores were very empty Fri evening and Saturday morning. More staff than customers
