Just picked one up after seeing there was an additional $400 bonus trade on top of trade value, on the already discounted P8Pro.

After considering the S24U and Z60U at double the price I just couldn't pass this up.

I traded an S21U in perfect condition ($250), bringing the total for my purchase to $605.99 shipped via fastest courier to rural QLD.

Yeah I could've got more privately, but living rural also makes that more difficult. $650 trade for my S21U seemed pretty good.

Hope this helps someone.

      You want someone to just give you a $400 coupon?

      • Kenji777 on 16/04/2024 - 12:43

        It's a coupon mate not real money unless you wanna buy the pixel 8 pro and the coupon will expire in few days. And I mentioned incase somebody is not planning to use it.
        Free Tip: Btw one can fake trade in an apple watch, grab the coupon and later cancel the trade-in, and you don't actually need an apple watch for the process.
        I can't do the above process cuz I don't have an Australian driver's license or passport for the trade in process.

      Just lodge a pixel 5 for $1 value, it's easy.

    • Techie-Luxe on 18/04/2024 - 09:37

      You could use YOUR own ID, you know?

      I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 and a Pixel 5. Both in perfect working condition and no defects etc.. both are valued at $1.

    Officeworks selling the 128gb for $1237 and the 256gb for $1337. I did a Live Chat with JB and they gave me the 256gb for $1329 if you want to save a bit more $$.

    thanks, purchased.

    Tossing up between copping this or waiting for the Pixel 9. Shame Pixels only have good deals this far into the cycle.

    • Rogue01 on 16/04/2024 - 14:52

      Usually pre order deals are ok, but mostly in store credit.

      Another six months to the 9. Some changes to the range with an additional size is rumoured.

      • Chael Sonnen on 16/04/2024 - 15:09

        Yeah that was my gripe back during the release. JB had a ripper deal for them, but the gift card came a few weeks after the phone which meant it wasn't really a direct discount but rather a store credit.

        Might just have to hold out for the 9 Pro XL and hope that the wait is worth it!

        • Kangal on 17/04/2024 - 09:32

          I wonder when the Pixel 8 first dropped, was there any killer deals for the Pixel 7 lineup?

          Will that be the case when the Pixel 9 drops in 6-months time? I can wait (barely) but I want those killer deals.

  • DealHuntersXD on 16/04/2024 - 14:42

    Has anyone tried using the $400 bonus without trading in the phone? Is there any non-return fee or will there be any consequences? Planning to trade in my S22, but only getting $270 + $400, whereas I am able to sell it for $410 off-market.

    • Brianqpr on 16/04/2024 - 14:48

      Other than them charging your card for the trade in value, no other consequences.

      In a recent deal I did this. Sold my P7P on marketplace for $600 when the trade in deal was $380. I contacted the trade in company to tell them I wouldn't be sending in the phone fully expecting to be charged the $380. They cancelled the trade in and I was charged nothing, got lucky there I think.

      So I upgraded to P8P while making around $100 profit. Discount was $780 including the $380 trade in value and used discounted JB vouchers to pay the balance.

      • DealHuntersXD on 16/04/2024 - 14:59

        So will they be charging me $670($400+$270) or will it be $270?

        • usmanhafeez2000 on 16/04/2024 - 17:25
          +1

          $270 only.

        • craving on 16/04/2024 - 17:54

          In this particular case they charge your credit card first.

          • DealHuntersXD on 16/04/2024 - 20:26

            @craving: So, should I just trade-in the phone via JB HiFi or claim the $400 code and not return the phone?

          • Brianqpr on 16/04/2024 - 21:00

            @craving: They did with me too, the charge was pending on my card. But when I contacted them to say I wasn't sending the phone in they cancelled the whole thing. I suspect somebody stuffed up and I got lucky.

  • bye on 16/04/2024 - 18:34

    Thanks OP, pulled the trigger on this after Samsung revoked the S24U promotion before the promo end date and basically told me tough luck

    • Rogue01 on 16/04/2024 - 18:37

      😲 which one? They are really inconsistent with their deals - they announce some rubbish ones loudly then quietly do better promos.

      • bye on 16/04/2024 - 18:43

        One a secret sale and one edu promotion, the second one I was more annoyed as they clearly stated the end date (which was well over a week left). I guess if you consistently wait and search everyday you might cop one eventually but its hard to tell when they go on sale

        • Rogue01 on 16/04/2024 - 18:54

          Yeah that's what I found too, I was checking it all the time for the last couple weeks. Last secret sale wasn't enough, the current deal was the closest. They simply tweak the trade in value, trade bonus, or RRP discount to get the price they want with an illusion of a deal. So I got done waiting for it to come down to a reasonable price - I felt less than $1200 bucks
          WITH an S21U as a trade was a reasonable goal but it never got there.

          So P8P at this price (less than half the price of S24U as low as I could get it) is an easy to swallow compromise for me, and another trade up token if something groundbreaking does come out. I can spend all that spare money on wireless chargers 😆, or save it for the next models. Man it's gotten expensive in the last couple years buying flagships.

  • jjsnacks on 16/04/2024 - 18:51

    Hmm this or the pixel 8 for $700 (local deal)

  • miked1 on 16/04/2024 - 20:12

    Is there a current deal with the telstra 24 month plans that can be stacked with this?

  • 51kabunka on 16/04/2024 - 20:17

    Are the trade in confermation emails taking a while to come through for anyone else? been 2 hours now and nothing..Claimed at 6pm….

    • Rogue01 on 16/04/2024 - 20:35

      Nothing at all?

      As mentioned above, for the extra bonus trade-in, you may have to click in one of the first emails to choose which voucher you get…

      • 51kabunka on 16/04/2024 - 20:39

        Yeah well i have not even got 1 email yet..

              @51kabunka: I had a continual error starting the process via desktop then having to confirm my ID via mobile and then go back to desktop to finalise. Never progressed when though it says my id was confirmed. Ended up doing it all on mobile.

              Didn't have any issue with emails coming through though - those were instant, as were the text messages. Did you get texts?

    I did mine last night, took about an hour for the $400 voucher to come through. They actually offered me a decent price for my phone. Weirdly, the OP said he got $250 for his S21U, I got $260 for my S21 Plus, weird.

    • Rogue01 on 16/04/2024 - 20:42

      Yep. Mine was a 128GB S21 Ultra.

      S Series
      Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (G998)
      Turn On: Yes Turns On, capacity: 128 GB, Cosmetic Condition: No Cosmetic Defects

      • Hank Scorpion on 16/04/2024 - 20:51

        Makes sense, mine is a 256GB, same condition.

        • Rogue01 on 17/04/2024 - 08:38

          Yup, it's weird that the extra storage makes such a difference. I wonder if they can reuse the storage modules if the phone isn't worth reselling? 🤷

  • Ricky-SSS on 17/04/2024 - 03:14

    Is there any way to do the trade in without australian ID?

    • Rogue01 on 17/04/2024 - 08:36

      No, part of the process requires photographing your Australian ID.

    Considered upgrading from my pixel 6 but according to this, they're basically the same phone.

    • Rogue01 on 17/04/2024 - 08:35

      Can't tell if sarcastic or not so I'll answer normally: it's a huge upgrade in nearly all aspects. Screen quality, refresh rate, resolution, and brightness; processor; GPU; camera quality, quantity and type; protection/durability; longevity. Even coming from a 6 Pro you'd notice the difference - the base 6 is not in the same category. Only thing that won't have changed much, on paper at least, is battery life and charging speed but the reality might be different as some have posted above that they've noticed improvements over previous models.

      • Techie-Luxe on 18/04/2024 - 09:40

        I don't think chopper690 was being sarcastic.

      • Bargainer4Life on 19/04/2024 - 16:31

        I am in the same bucket as chopper690. My P6P works well and has no issue. Will still bite the bait if I can find some discounted JB Hi-fi GC.

  • amisty79 on 17/04/2024 - 14:05

    does the 8 have any issues regarding the fingerprint scanner? sometimes I'm ready to throw my 7 against a brick wall coz of the fingerprint scanner!

    • lovebargain87 on 17/04/2024 - 16:23

      Do you have a screen protector that impacting the fingerprint scanner?

    • smogg on 17/04/2024 - 19:09

      When my fingers are too dry, the Pixel 7 fingerprint scanner never works lol. Check if that's your problem, try applying a very small amount of moisture to your finger and test it.

        • gentlekoala5906 on 18/04/2024 - 19:18

          Compared to the rear fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 5 and earlier

          • Rogue01 on 18/04/2024 - 19:23

            @gentlekoala5906: I didn't have any issues with my 7P fingerprint scanner 🤷 I prefer the front mount on most modern high ends, but have used a rear mounted and don't mind it either. Side mounted is difficult usually. I don't even remember the 5 series sorry😬

    • Rogue01 on 18/04/2024 - 15:43

      Got mine yesterday, switched over to it properly today. Definitely happy with the fingerprint reader response time.

    • Rogue01 on 20/04/2024 - 17:31

      Gotta have a case! I'd be too worried about cracking it. I use Quad Locks cause of the attachments for my car and motorbike - never had a phone scratch or break whilst in one either. Works with wireless charging too…

    Please suggest me with a phone decision, I am a native iphone user and have a perfectly working spare iphone 12pro, this deal which is being offered a trade value of $400 plus another $400 to get a pixel 8 pro for net $449, instead of full price of $1249.

    I will be using the phone as a spare phone for few years plus as a photo capturing phone etc

      Yes it's an upgrade.

      https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=10508&idPhone2=…

      Is it worth it?

      Only you are going to know. If it's simply a secondary phone, maybe not? If it's going to do camera duty fairly often, then yes, you will probably find it takes some beautiful pics.

      I don't like the Apple ecosystem or OS so I'm going to be fairly biased in that regard. There are likely others who will hopefully chime in with their opinions coming across from the dark side…

    • jimboner on 24/04/2024 - 18:48

      Yes, I did a month ago. Absolutely no issues.

      I clicked through the email to chose the $400 coupon. Then contacted the trade in place before ordering the phone to tell them I have decided not to trade. Trade in was cancelled but the $400 coupon still worked fine a couple days later. Even stacked with a price match and discounted gift cards

      • DealHuntersXD on 24/04/2024 - 19:20

        Great, how can I get discounted gift cards? And price match to Officeworks pricing or is there a better price available elsewhere?
