Still $766.67 + $89 (unless you can get them to refund that portion via chat)
This deal is really no better than what we’ve seen throughout the year for those who plan to cancel
Would the 1200 cover the full cost of a Samsung S24? I seem to remember the Google pixel was covered by voucher even though the outright prive was higher
Is there any reason I can't sign up for three or four new SIMS and then cancel?
Yes but it will pro-rata 23/24 of the $800 Max repayment fee if you have to pay the first month. If they waive the first month, I would gather you pay the full 800.
I've had the first month waived and only paid the pro-rata'd $766.67. Experiences will vary depending who you get on Telstra chat.
@bokchewy can I ask when you got the first month refunded? Was it just last week, or from a previous deal? I was successful getting it waived the first time I did it a few months ago but not having any luck this time. I've talked to 3 agents who all said the same thing. Wondering if they've changed the rules
@discountdiva: Wait for the transaction to clear (if it's still pending) and then reach out to Telstra support.
I tried my luck today for the third time and was successful. I mentioned, I didn't use your services and canceled the next day without using it. You must have a grace period for service cancellation; please check if you can do something about the refund.
And $99 was reversed without any questions.
@BonusOffer: the $99 payment comes from jbhifi post paid and not telstra right? (at least thats what mine says).
So whys telstra the ones refunding it haha@BonusOffer: I'll wait a couple days and try again, I signed up on Friday so could still be pending.. Fingers crossed, although I've kinda lost hope after the third one lol. Thanks for the tip
@discountdiva: I just jumped on online chat.
First person I got, i asked for a refund because i never used the service."No problem let me process this refund for you".
ummm wot…wasnt expecting that
@amityaaron: @amityaaron
Lucky you! I had the same experience the first time around but they really won’t budge this time.When did you sign up and cancel if you don’t mind sharing?
@discountdiva: I bought on the Saturday (i got the 1100 voucher, missed the 1200).
at about 5pm i jumped onto online chat and cancelled the service.
Person I spoke to said i couldnt get a refund for the 89.The following monday, I jumped onto chat and asked for a refund - first person i spoke to said sure, no problem.
89 was back in my account later in the week.
@amityaaron: Good on ya! I did get the 1200 voucher so I guess that’s a win. I’ve had enough of the Telstra agents and I’m sure they’ve had enough of me too lmao
Best so far !
So $400 profit I cancelled immediately?
Most likely 766.67 + 89 equals total cost. I believe having the first months fee waived is getting harder to do. So about 344.33 gain.
I ported out of Telstra around 2 weeks ago from the last time they ran this, do you think I will have any trouble trying to get this deal? I intend to keep the plan.
I'd like to know this too
i want to know too
When they open your telstra account they’ll be able to see you ported out less than a month ago.
Is this mean we can’t go back to this offer?
I was with Boost and I am in Optus from last 3 weeksT&C's don't mention anything about it in this particular deal. Does that rule still apply?
Ah righto, so they would likely deny the gift card but proceed with the $89 plan? Might just have to wait a bit longer and pick up a lower deal later on.
They would tell you upfront probably.
You'll still be eligible. If you're worried, you can always wait until boxing day.
Yeah I think I’ll just wait, thank you!
So I just tried to take advantage of this, but because my number is with Telstra, they can't 'port' me into JB HiFi (because they use Telstra), so apparently I don't qualify.
Any confirm if this is correct?PS> I want to keep my number because I've had it for 20+ years and it's a premium number for many ways.
Can't you port your number to Optus or Vodafone prepaid first, then port to JB?
Yes, but there needs to be some period of time (can't remember if it's 20 or 30 days) with another provider before you can port back in to get the deal.
So, how often do people cancel early and do it again when something similar like this happens again, or do you just get blacklisted so you can't fully abuse the system?
Every few months
i got this deal two years ago along with the $10 off a month discount
my contract has expired
can i sign up again to get the gift card? or do i have to port away? are there other deals perhaps with optus i can consider that come with a gift card?
Wondering if you were able to share the data eith things like laptops and google tv, etc?
yes 100% through my iphone i can share data (i.e browse web, watch prime video etc)
Tried it last night.
Was so much better than the Motel wifi.
No lags even using vpn
Port away, unless you're after a new number.
how long do you have to be 'ported' away from Telstra for before you can be eligible for this deal?
30 days, you could try less and not mention it. But from memory it does flag.
@Spooke512: There wasn't any obvious flag when I've done it and I've done this many times in the past.
I ported out from a JBHIFI plan on 25/12, it processed on boxing day 26/12 and signed up on the 27/12 for the $89/24 month plan without issues.
I used the same account and the guy was able to still lookup my account by my current mobile number in the system.I watched the screen as he processed everything. The mobile number was with optus, so had to provide all the usual codes (for email/sms) etc a few times, but all processed fine.
There is nothing in the T&C or CIS stating it needs to be 28 days etc.
Whole process took less than 10 mintues.
thanks
will ports away, cheers, am looking at optus hardly normal deals
Wonder if the $1400 for 99/month will come around? Should I hold?
Also waiting for this exact deal!
To cancel it to have higher profit?
Me two
Yesterday it was $1100, today it is $1200 and it expires today. So a good chance that tomorrow we may get a better deal than this.
Earlier this year as in January they had $1700 off the s23 ultra and you could return the phone and get a $1700 gift card as a refund. With the s25 coming out in January i think we will see this sort of deal again.
Yes. I did use that offer to buy Pixel 9XL actually
Can you tell me where you saw that deal? I just tried to look at s23 Ultra deals but couldn't find one in Jan that covers what you spoke about
Update: I caved and got it
What phone did you end up buying?
Damn i just got this at 99$ - any one have ideas on how i can ask for the 10$ discount?
And I just purchased the plan yesterday with 1100/89…
yep and it was advertised with an expiry date of 2/12, despite the website saying 1 day only. i'm seeing if anything can be done.. feel misled.
my plan from 2yrs ago will expire end of next month, what's the best thing to do to get this deal today? Sign up a new number and merge later? Indent to keep my existing number and the new plan. Thanks.
Also looking for the answer to this (or even, minimum time to port out/back in).
Can you sign up with a new number? My son has an existing prepaid plan that we've already paid for and want to keep using.
I'm keen to know if this still works too. Last time I had 14 days left on my current contract. I was able to start a new service with new number, then when my old contact finished transfer my number across to new conttact.
I had heard this was no longer possible though.
Yes, new number works.
Is this any good for a nomad in Australia?
Could this be utilised to stream movies through something like a google tv or fire stick?
I only would likely need 100gb for this but the bonus dta at this price seems a good time for me to use the voucher to upgrade my existing phone.
Anyone know if this would be possible?
Yes. You will need any kind of cellular hotspot device, either a phone or a standalone cellular hotspot. Then you just connect to it like a normal wifi network and use services like netflix/binge etc on the google tv/firestick
Appreciated. Cheerd
Can anyone confirm this method still works and what the final price came to?
I always wonder if I get 3 numbers and cancel straight away. I will make somewhere about $1100-$1200 profit with $3600 in JB Gift cards
I am looking at getting Pixel 9 pro xl and 9th gen ipad = ~$2000
What do I use $1600 for then? Ideas?
wow..down vote. I am getting punished for being true OZb!
thanks for reading the comment though!
Dont need to wonder, did exactly that for me and my SO. Winning
Sell it or wait for any good deal on JB.
good for those who use (or say they use) phone for work - you make a profit after tax deduction + free plan for 2 years
If you already have $20 JB hi fi mobile data plan , can you still get this deal?
Can the data sharing included in the plan be shared with an existing Telstra (not JB) mobile plan or data plan SIM under the same account number? Thanks
Unfortunately, only with other JB plans. Not telstra.
btw - do these gift card expire?
No expiry.
Are you guys factoring in the costs of paying for another mobile plan too? If we just stayed on this plan for 2 years we save another 24 months of another compamys plans ie 20 a month is another 240 saved? which means this plan is really 40 a month or so. plus when you pay a bill you get telstra points which was enough to get me a 90 buck jbl clip 5 and some other tidbits..
Does cancelling the phone plan affect credit score?
Getting the plan affects your score because it will be marked as an enquiry. That is why people shouldn’t keep doing this thinking how clever they are making a profit.
I understand for the first intial enquiry but I mean for closing the contract is that another hit?
No, closing the account does not affect your score as the idea is not to have a liability.
Does JB HIFI mobile have the apple watch plans? Or is this exclusive to telstra?
Good deal. Previously it was great when it also accumulated Telstra points.
Gift card can be used in anything right? Potentially even priced matched items?
Yes.
If you are interested in a Pixel - the Good Guys has a $1300 voucher for the Pixel XL for $89 and a $800 cancellation fee.
1300$ off the discounted price which is currently 400$ off? Or the 400$ black friday discount does not apply with that offer? Anyone knows?
$1300 off on the already discounted price.
And jbhifi $1350 off for pixel 9 pro at JB?
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/google-pixel-9-pro-5g-128…
Get $1350 off a Google Pixel 9 Pro Phone◊ when you switch your number to JB HI-FI Mobile on a $89 plan over 24 months#. Plan reverts to $99 per month after 24 Months.
- $89 per month plan over 24 months. Plan reverts to $99 per month after 24 Months.
A good deal! I bought at $1100 yesterday :(
Is the cancellation fee calculated on $800 or on $1200?
JB Hi-Fi website (https://www.jbhifi.com.au/pages/upfront-mobile-plans) says:
The $1200 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card will replace the value of the Voucher stated in the Critical Information Summary. 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.
Thanks. Got it - so $1200 replaces the original voucher value, but not the max voucher repayment fee.
I'm so confused, so if I cancel straight away I have to pay 800$ plus 1 month for the plan? Making the gain roughly 300$? 1200-800-89= 311$ discount?
@Maths Debater: Canceled within 1 hour of purchase. $766.67 charged to card that was used to sign up to the plan.
✨👍✨
Slimy JB trying to falsely advertise this as a “Black Friday” Deal when it’s always $89/m with a $1200 GC 😂
Managed to get this offer late last evening.
Can I use the voucher on anything else other than phones? I need a BYOD for mi kid starting highschool next year😭
Yes.
Can I pay the difference with Afterpay? I.e. Samsung Galaxy S24 5G 256GB $1787 - $1200 = $587 through afterpay in store?
Trying to use my partner's $30 off first afterpay order discount to squeeze just a bit more from the deal
- 1
- 2
So, how much is same day cancellation, couldn't find it quickly in the T&C for the $1200 voucher…
EDIT: appears to be:
Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee $800
So assuming it's
Samsung Galaxy S24 5G 256GB $1387 - $1200 = $187 + $800 = $987…. then possibly $89 for the first month if you don't cancel straight away?
