Just bought Galaxy Nexus from Vodafone on $29 cap plan + $35 handset payments for 12 months.

Buckscoop has $200 cashback for Vodafone postpaid plans until 31/12/2011

This makes it $64 * 12 - $200 = $568

This is an alternative to buying it outright (e.g $799 from Kogan, $789 from mobicity etc).You do not have to use it on Vodafone. I will use it on Telstra (Galaxy Nexus is NextG compatible).

If you order before 16/12/2011 it's guaranteed to be delivered by Christmas.

    Good deal, still waiting galaxy note.

        he says he is waiting for the galaxy note. and u link to the vodafone all mobile page?
        You do know that vodafone doesnt carry the galaxy note?

  • asianboy9 on 10/12/2011 - 11:39

    Excuse my ignorance - but just wanted to know what the procedure is to claim the cashback?
    Are there any promo/coupon codes I need to enter at Vodafone checkout, or is it sufficient to merely click through from the Buckscoop website?

    • leeroys_dad on 10/12/2011 - 11:48
      +1

      click through via buckscoop. make sure you do because there's no way to retrospectively credit you. you will be credited in due course minus the $10 yearly fee

      • WaywardOne on 10/12/2011 - 16:17

        I thought only MoneybackCo had a $10 annual fee. Does Buckscoop have it too?

  • dy4me on 10/12/2011 - 11:39

    I was hoping i didn't see this here, now they will just pull the deal like they did in the past! :(
    Any way to shield these deals from vodafone employees?

    Beware of these cash backs. Vodafone has a tendency of notoriously cancelling them

  • zn7726 on 10/12/2011 - 11:56

    it's a deal only if you got the cashback eventually. Saw a feed back on Buckscoop saying no cashback was received at all.

    • dy4me on 10/12/2011 - 11:59

      this sadly is a common occurance. worse still is vodafone doesnt provide a reason for rejecting the cashback

  • ChadHominem on 10/12/2011 - 11:58

    does this buckscoop offer apply to any phone contract? like a $29 per month for 12 months contract for example?

    also, is the cashback guaranteed from buckscoop? or is it a bit iffy?

    • jackofspade on 10/12/2011 - 12:05

      The cashback is definately not a sure thing. I didn't get mine last time.

      Both Buckscoop and MoneyBackco are currently doing $200 cash back on Vodafone contract (ie not prepaid) which makes it pretty good deal if you can get the cash back. The affiliate tracking is quite problematic, and Vodafone sometimes would just cancel transactions for no reason (not just vodafone but also other cash back merchants) so unfortunately it's not 100%.

      Same link, just move down the page, click 12mths and scroll down.

  • imket on 10/12/2011 - 13:37

    this is pretty mad cheap even without the 200 cash back. would this be AU stock seeing its with voda? because i think if you buy from mobicity or kogan its not going to be AU stock. As i know, other places like hong kong are out of stock and people need to wait for after xmas to get stock if they preorder

    • imket on 10/12/2011 - 14:00

      i just gave them a call for upgrading my handset and they told me they dont have prices on their system yet, not until around the 15th so they cant give me any deals. I then told her there were prices on the internet, but i would have to get a new number if i were to get those.
      would there be a chance they change the price of this 12month plan on around the 15th? :S

      • Sharp on 10/12/2011 - 14:13

        You can order your phone online and port your number after you received your phone and simcard. that's what it said on my order summary page. so you don't have to do it over the phone. And you missing out the cashback if you order it on the phone.

        • imket on 10/12/2011 - 14:45

          i phoned hoping to get some special discounts seeing i'm an exist customer (with 3). Seeing the cash back is pretty risky, i would rather take any discount that they can offer.

          btw, did you use any codes to get a cheaper deal? or did you just go straight with the 768?
          i'm a 3 customer, would i get the SAVE10 for being an existing customer?

        • Sharp on 10/12/2011 - 15:17

          I didn't use any codes. I read if you use other discount codes your cashback request could be rejected.

          I can now see $200 being track on my buckscoop page. At least my browser didn't play up on me. Now it's all up to Vodafone.

  • blackrider89 on 10/12/2011 - 14:58

    Forget the cashback. Its, by all means, unreasonable.

    • Housecat on 14/12/2011 - 13:17

      so why give this a positive then?

      • blackrider89 on 15/12/2011 - 19:31

        Voted for the deal per se, not really cared about the cashback. It's still a good deal without the cashback, is it not?

  • SydStrand on 10/12/2011 - 15:50

    Decent price if only for the phone. I've been playing with a Galaxy Nexus for a couple weeks and absolutely loving this phone.

    • dy4me on 10/12/2011 - 15:53
      +1

      except if you counting on the discount for a good price then its a bit risky. If ur prepared to not 2 get the $200 and still think its a good deal then go for it. well thats how i prepare myself atleast

      Or wait for 3-4 months for the galaxy s3 with a quad core or dual 2ghz core.

      • WaywardOne on 10/12/2011 - 16:21

        Small rant: Samsung in particular releases new handsets every few months. If you must have the latest be prepared to upgrade regularly (ie. don't lock yourself in to any contracts and have heaps of disposable income)

        • imket on 10/12/2011 - 16:24
          +1

          i agree with what you say, but unless all we do all day is collect new phones, every 1 year is a pretty good time to get a new one. Plus you can pay for your phone little by little every month. I'm only saying this because the overall price of this plan is same as the RRP of this phone~

  • Prav on 10/12/2011 - 16:22

    hey guys seems like a pretty sweet deal considering the rrp of the handset. Im just curious as to how the 200 is credited back to up bank account once signed up..

  • imket on 10/12/2011 - 17:08

      They say it will appear in2-4 weeks in your purchases and IF EVERYTHING GOES GOOD, you MAY receive your cashback in 2-3 months ))) Read FAQ at buckscoop.

      • imket on 10/12/2011 - 18:26

        thanks for the info!
        oo i just checked, its in my earnings now. so thats a BIT of a good sight.

  • pharm86 on 10/12/2011 - 17:24

    I really can't decide between this and the GS3!!!

    • adamchan on 10/12/2011 - 17:38

      Wait for the GS3 if you can wait another 4 months~~
      Buy the galaxy nexus if you really need a new handset right now~~

      • SydStrand on 10/12/2011 - 18:00

        Not really comparable. The Nexus series is the Nexus series. You'll always get the best Android experience earliest, but expect most high-end Android phones in 2012 to be comparable. The SGS III will probably be the same thing with a MicroSD card and slightly better processor.

      • linkii on 15/12/2011 - 13:20

        GS3 won't be out until another half a year, which by the time it comes out the next nexus will be another 6months away.

  • romanko on 10/12/2011 - 17:33

      Let me get this straight… You imported this thing from the UK like many of us did (probably from Clove UK or Handtec) for ~$710ish (possibly less) and now you're attempting to hock it off on Ozbargain (not even a forum post)? You could have asked for a PM but instead provided your name, location and phone number. Brilliant.

  • Jules66 on 11/12/2011 - 00:36

    There's no way they'd give you $200 cash back on this phone.
    Why would they?
    Use your common sense.
    This phone hasn't even been released in Australia yet.

  • 777 on 11/12/2011 - 12:56

    To all cash back users make sure you start a new session in your browser after clearing your all browser history
    And then go to vodafone via their website not directly via Vodafone and complete your order in one go. If possible don't open any other pages or browser so the cokkie transfer is tracking properly, ifit expires you may loose your cash back
    If you know how to you can save your tracking cokkie for reference or take screenshots
    That's what I did when I had issue with a transaction I had them so they honored it

  • SpaceNinja on 11/12/2011 - 17:46

    For those who really need cashback; simply do not open your phone for 14 days. if you do not get cashback; you can return the phone.

      good idea, but from what people have said, it can take a lot longer than that to receive the cashback so more than likely you'd return it long before cashback arrives.

    • Blinda on 12/12/2011 - 15:35

      It took 3 months+ to get the cash back. One of my order put through in the mid of October just got approved last weekend and will be paid in January.
      Also, based on Buckscoop site stats. Successful rate is 75%

      • auna on 12/12/2011 - 16:13

        You read it wrong.

        96% of them are tracked.

        The other 4% became enquiries - the enquiries were successful 75% of the time.

        If you add it up, around 99% or 98% are tracked.

        • VlVh on 17/12/2011 - 21:39

          Just because they get tracked doesn't mean that Vodafone will actually pay the cash back. This happened to me last year. Vodafone refused to pay the cash back despite the transaction being tracked fine.

    I've got the cash back once before but they also cancelled it once another time.

    It shouldn't be a deal, when its hit or miss. I will try to get the cashback if you were gonna get the phone anyways but I wouldn't get the phone just because of the cashback.

    Also if someone have been able to get the cashback in the last 6mths or so can they post it here. The last time I got it was 2yrs ago and haven't been able to get it since.

    • Blinda on 16/12/2011 - 12:24

      Use 100DEC promo code. Get $100 off your bill. Dunt count on rebate. A bit risky. Or you can join Buckscoop to get $200 rebate. MBC is no longer available for new members.
