Mod Edit: The purchase of a gift card with a gift card breaches T&Cs and the deal title has therefore been edited to reflect only the guaranteed 10% discount price of $386.10; this is obtainable without breaching T&C (purchasing a discounted gift card at the counter for $429 which costs $386.10 via the permissible payment methods of cash / EFTPOS / credit card and then purchasing the console in store). The original (unguaranteed) deal for $370 is below for those interested with the appropriate warning.
*Unsure if a $429 gift card is possible, you may need to purchase a $420 gift card for $378 and then pay the remaining $9 (making it $387).
Hi all,
IMPORTANT NOTE : ** Please Note: Should the Big W system prevent you from using a Wish Card to purchase a Big W Gift Card, this deal is void…YMMV
First off I'll credit the two following posts which this deal is based off:
Overall BIG W Sales : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/237641
Gift Card strategy : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/238014
I thought I would post this up with the 'Playstation 4' heading so it comes up easier when searching. In addition, this deal offers a better discount from the Gift Card strategy link above.
STRATEGY
Point 1 Step One : Visit cashrewards site (and sign up if you haven't already) and get 5% off Woolworths Wish Gift Cards (http://www.cashrewards.com.au/woolworths-gift-cards)
Step Two : Go to Big W between 10/03/16 and 16/03/16 and purchase Big W Gift Cards at 10% off (this part is supposedly against the T&Cs of Wish Card usage, however there are a number of reports saying that the purchasing system does not stop you from doing it)
Step Three : Go back into Big W and pick up either the Playstation 4 500gb Console ($429) or the PS4 1TB Console Bundle ($498) and purchase using the Big W Gift Cards
**Depending on the value increments of the Big W Gift Cards, you may not be able to achieve the full 13.6% discount, or you may end up with extra Big W gift card value. (eg. Purchase $400 of Wish Card, Buy $450 of Big W Gift Card @ 10% = $405. Therefore you'll need to spend $5 non-gift card dollars to make up the rest)
COST BREAKDOWN
Step One : Pay $95 to receive $100 Wish Card
Step Two : Using $90 of Wish Card to purchase $100 Big W Gift Card. $10 remaining value on Wish Card
Original Spend of $95 yields total value of $110
Overall discount of approximately 13.6%
OVERALL COST OF PS4
- Playstation 4 500gb Console Only : $370.50 (approx.)
- Playstation 4 1TB Bundle : $430.10 (approx.)
** Please Note: Should the Big W system prevent you from using a Wish Card to purchase a Big W Gift Card, this deal is void…YMMV
** This gift card strategy could be used for all purchases at Big W and potentially other woolworths affiliated stores if they accept a Big W gift card as payment (reports suggest people have been able to in the past)
Good deal bro, but price in title perhaps?
