Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE 128GB and Smart Book Cover $438.38 (with Min. $1 Trade-in) Delivered @ Samsung EDU via App

210

This is a bit convoluted but I think worth it for a brand new tablet at less than the price of the S6 Lite! I think might only work on Android devices as I don't think Apple store has the apps required. I guess this would work for all preorder S9 FE variants.

Step 1 - Download Samsung TradeUp app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asurion.sa…
Step 2 - Sign up with a device worth $1 - I picked an "Audio accessory", then selected "other" brand and "earbuds". Fill in all your details and get your trade in code (you won't be charged until you use it)
Step 3 - Download the Samsung Shop app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.ec…
Step 4 - Log into Samsung Education store via app - this will bring the price of the tablet down to about $600, plus offer of 10% off for your first order via the app. You can get education access via a number of ways, e.g. if you went to UniMelb you can get an alumni email (https://ask.unimelb.edu.au/faq/2358/#:~:text=You%20may%20lik….)
Step 5 - Hit trade in your device, say you're an existing TradeID customer and enter the ID from Step 2 (should be 8 character alphanumeric code). This will apply the trade in value ($1), as well as $100 bonus trade in credit on the preorder.
Step 6 - Check that it adds the Smart book cover as a free bonus for preordering before check out.
Step 7 - Enjoy 😁

Edit: Looking through the terms and conditions in more detail, you may be able to get the Buds FE for dirt cheap, especially if the 10% off app code applies to the $99 below.
Purchase Galaxy Tab S9 FE | Tab S9+ and Galaxy Buds FE in the same transaction to get Buds FE for $99 from 12:00am (AEDT) 12 Oct 2023 to 11:59pm (AEDT) 01 Nov 2023

Also not sure why the credit was $100 as T&C on the non education page lists "For a limited time, when you trade-in your existing eligible device, you will receive an additional bonus credit $200 off that you can use towards the purchase of a Galaxy S9 FE | S9 FE+." I didn't feel like drawing attention to this lest my entire order not work - will leave it up to some other motivated soul!

    Good luck ozbargainers 😊

  • A bit tricky for non students(or long term non students)I think ☹️

    that degree i got from melb uni is finally being put to use

  • Step 2 - Sign up with a device worth $1 - I picked an "Audio accessory". Fill in all your details and get your trade in code (you won't be charged until you use it)
    In this step, do we need to enter the credit details after getting the trade-in code? Last time, I got the trade-in code but couldn't use it.

      Yeah I entered CC details to get the trade in code. To help clarify, my trade in code was something like AAXXAXXX (A=letter, X = number) - it's not the email verification code they send you immediately prior.

      • Mine was SBXXAXXX. I have tried to trade in a Samsung bud.

    Much better

    $321 with a bunch of other things

    • Requires a targeted code.

      • True, forgot about that.

        But can still add buds for 99 and get a free smarttag

    • Touche. Unfortunately no targeted code for me :(

  • For those without access to edu, I bought this today for $434 by trading in a s9+ ($65 + $200 bonus trade in) and used a newsletter $50 voucher.
    Included the smart cover. I had a 20% off accessories/10% off tablets code, but it wouldn't stack.

      Surely you would have gotten more for your S9+ by selling on FB Marketplace or Gumtree?

    • +1

      I got for $423.20. ($50 newsletter + $201 trade-in + 10% off for app purchase).

      • I tried the app, but it says "not available in your country" im set to Aus but have a turkey family group for the cheap YT premium. So i think thats why it doesnt come up. Ive tried finding the apk itself, but I can only find the apk for other countries.

  • What's normal price of it, is it 1299 before ?

    • It's around $750 plus whatever the case is worth.

      • i see, thanks

  • Likely a dumb question…

    Do you need to send through some budget headphones back? Or do you just cop the $1 trade in value?

    • +1

      The $1 is not the major problem but I think they charge a $60 late return fee. I figure I'll send some free wired earbuds back, it doesn't really ask for any details if you select "other". I also have a few old Bluetooth ones which barely last an hour on a battery charge.

      • +1

        Old Qantas plugin headphones ?

      • I ordered some $3 wired earbuds from Amazon just for the $1 trade in. Am just gonna send them new in box so they can't comment about the condition. They didn't state they needed to be anything other than "earbuds".

  • I think this is an LCD display

    • Specs
      DISPLAY Type IPS LCD, 90Hz
      Size 10.9 inches, 344.5 cm2 (~81.7% screen-to-body ratio)
      Resolution 1440 x 2304 pixels, 16:10 ratio (~249 ppi density)

  • What is the delivery ETA? I'm going on a trip next week and this works be awesome

    • I think they start shipping 19/10/23, but says expect delivery in 3-10 days after that. My wife also just flew out, would have been nice if the timing worked better for the GST refund for sure…

    • I had a shipping on or before 24/10, so probably not in line with your travel plans.

      • Damn. Extra GST off would have been great.

    Does it have SD card slot ?

  • Got mine for $223
    Had targeted code via email for additinal $200 off
