Sorry for bombarding you all with Samsung S24 Series Deals!

Moderator's Note

  1. The original title omitted mentioning the prices were obtainable only after applying a bonus $250 credit for trading-in a device. The deal expiry date has been changed to 7 May when the trade-in bonus offer will expire. The title prices have been adjusted to exclude the assumed $1 value for the trade-in device and the assumed $60 non-return fee.
  2. Samsung Education Store web pages are showing text claiming 20% off RRP discounts. This is incorrect. The actual discounts are 25% off RRP (offers expire 22 May) which are displayed in text at checkout and confirmed with calculations. We thank the OP for pointing this out after an earlier title revision.

I don't know if this is also available in EPP Stores, please check and update the post if it is available.

PRICES for BASE MODELS:
These prices are derived after the trade-in of a Samsung Watch3 41mm valued at $1.

Samsung S24: $1049.25 - $251 + $60 = $858
Samsung S24+ : $1274.25 - $251 +$60 = $1083.25
Samsung S24 Ultra: $1649.25 - $251 + $60 = $1458.25

Please note that $60 will be charged to your debit/credit card when you fail to return the trade-in device within the return window. Hence, $60 will be charged to your card a few weeks after you've received your device.

I'm extremely poor at the moment to buy this but hope that none of you are as poor as I am to grab this deal.

Update:
You can also add your vouchers while purchasing through this deal. I tried using my $50 coupon code and it worked. So if you have yours, you can further reduce the price based on the value of your coupon code.

I hope this helps. Cheers!

Second Update:
I haven’t included an extra 5% discount on the first purchase through the Samsung Shop App. If you haven’t bought anything using the Shop app before, you’ll get an extra 5% discount.

    I was reluctant to buy a Galaxy S24 after my experience with my Pixel 7, which also uses an Exynos modem, and ultimately decided not to get one after some deeper research. It's really hard to find a reliable reviewer who tests mobile reception, and a majority of reviews are of the Snapdragon variant, but I did find this video during the early days of release.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eTSRngwAK0

    From memory, the notable issues are auto screen-dimming, camera quality (especially the telephoto lens colour balance), camera shutting down during 4k video recording, mobile reception strength, thermals, and Snapdragon having about 17% more battery life.. the Exynos even froze during testing and had to be forced to restart.

    • +4

      agree.

      as commented in the video

      They should sell the Exynos version as S24 FE (Failure edition).

    • Wow.

      So which edition gets delivered with this deal for the S24?

      Exynos or Snapdragon? Is there a way to specify it?

      • +4

        S24 and S24+ are all Exynos in Australia, only 24 Ultra is Snapdragon.

  • +1

    I'm new to trade in. Just want to ask is the photo ID accepted for trade in or it has to be Australian passport or Australian driving license?

    • I tried with a foreign passport and it worked.

      • Works with a foreign passport. In anycase they have a payment stop on your card for the amount of trade in anyway. No risks at all for asurion

  • I'm unable to stack a loyalty voucher.
    Do I need to ask for a different loyalty voucher for EEP or student store?

    • No more loyalty vouchers for edu

      • It's also not working on EEP store.

        • A loyalty voucher code can be used for the purchase and get an exclusive $100 trade in discount on your new purchase on our regular Online store(Excludes EPP, Education, and Government store)

  • In before "we can't predict the future blah blah blah, we have no idea of stock"

    But there's probably still stock of S23 ultra that will go on sale at EOFY?

    I haven't been in the market for a new phone for years so I'm still using an S10 but everyone seems to be saying don't upgrade from the S23 to S24 which is making me hesitant to pull the trigger.

    • +1

      From what I've read, the reason people are suggesting not to upgrade from S23U -> S24U is because it is very similar phones. In fact, some people are even saying that the S24U is less stable than the S23U (see: camera issues for S24U). I think if that Samsung secret sale came around again (1K for S23U), I would pull the trigger.

      However, the reason why I settled with the S24U is because of the promised 7 years of updates, while the S23U has a 4 year lifespan with 1 year already elapsed. In that vein, I'm thinking that I might as well get the best there is at the moment and not think about a phone upgrade for at least 5 years - I really doubt it will stand the 7 year time limit but only time will tell.

      • Thankyou for the indepth reply.

        I agree with you - if the S24U is promised 7 years of updates that is much better long term value than the S23s remaining 3 years.

        However even if the updates stop, the phone itself is still most likely fully operational and if the hardware is ultimately stable and quite even with the S24 that might tip it for me.

        I'll keep waiting for the next "secret" sale….

        • Can you please elaborate on the Secret Sales?

        • S24U is promised 7 years of updates

          To be honest, whilst this is nice, I wouldn't let it sway any purchasing decisions.

          7 years ago, the flagship Samsung phone was the Galaxy S8 / S8+. I owned and used an S8+ for 3 years, from 2017 - 2020, by which time it was already horrendously slow, the battery could barely hold a charge, and it was significantly behind on hardware features.

          My view has always been that if you are going to buy a flagship phone to use for 7 years, you're better off spending less money today, saving the rest, and putting it towards an upgraded mid-range phone down the line. E.g. instead of getting an S24U today, get an S24 instead, then in a few years, get an S27 or whatever, you'll (overall) get a better experience IMO.

          • @p1 ama: I did use to think this but I feel the S24U is pretty impressive in terms of hardware. Specifically I've never had a phone with an amazing camera and that's one of the reasons I'm leaning towards finally trying a top end phone.

  • It appears that the trade in value and the amount you are charged if you don't return are different amounts. Is the charge for each device for not returning listed somewhere?

    • +1

      If you don't send the trade in device to them, they will not refund the trade in value of the device that they charge you to your card when you do the trade in. In addition to that they will charge you a $30 or $60 device non-return fee. Some people got charged $30 device non-return fee whereas some are charged $60. This may be depend on the trade in value of your device. If its lower (i.e. $1 or $5) they may charge you $30 only.
      They don't charge you the bonus amount, and you keep it. Hope this clarifies.

  • The Education Store implies that the EE discount and the trade-in discount are stackable, it doesn't mention anywhere they aren't? It does say in the T&Cs that all offers are exclusive of each other UNLESS indicated otherwise, but in my view, saying "25% off plus a $250 trade-in bonus" implies stack-ability and thus passes this threshold. However, the store won't let me add both? Am I missing something or is this misleading?

    • All good, they let me stack!

      • What's an EE discount? How did you get them to stack?

  • Can I choose Watch3 but send an old Gear S3 in stead?

  • If I trade in an old phone that's got a broken back panel, do they give me $1 for the device? Better than paying the $60 late return fee?

    • Check in the trade-in portal. Should be able to get a $1 trade-in value.

  • Can anybody recommend an S24 phone case with rounded edges? So it resembles the original S20 rounded shape and therefore nicely rests in hand.

  • +1

    Can somebody with experience confirm what happens if I choose the most expensive phone say Z Fold 5 for trade and get like a trade value of $900, which reduces the price for S24U to $600 and then later on I don't send the ZF5, would they still only charge me $60 for not sending the phone?

    • +1

      Trade-in value is kept on hold and returned to your account when Asurion receives your ZF5. If you do not send the device, you'll get charged $900+$60.

      • @nepalicurryinahurry

        I have a Samsung Tablet, the SM-T705Y. Its in superb condition but I cannot find how much trade in value it give me.

        I dont seem to understand what is this about $1 off or will they trade it in if I cant choose it on their list? And what would they do if I dont send that back?
        From what I understand they charge you either $60 or $30 if you dont send it? But does this mean I would still get $500 value trade in?

        Also, what happens if you use CBA Yello, is this deal in these threads the same one?

        • +1

          @zztrader

          1. If you do not find your device in the trade-in list, you're not able to put your device as a trade-in device.

          2. If you do not send your device back, you'll get charged $30 or $60 for not returning the device on top of the trade-in value kept on hold from your payment method. Just so you know – the held amount from your payment method is released/returned to your account after Asurion receives the device and the assessment meets your said things about the trade-in device. Regardless of you opting to send/not send the device back, you'll still get $500 off your S24 Ultra which Asurion cannot charge on your payment method.

            FYI:

            For a $1 trade-in, Choose the Samsung Watch 3 41mm as a trade-in device.
            When on the trade-in assessment page, check that the screen is damaged, and Bob's your uncle, you'll get $1 trade-in value.

          3. CBA Yello doesn't apply to this deal as Samsung has a different page for CBA Yello.

          • -1

            @nepalicurryinahurry: @nepalicurryinahurry

            So double checkng, by choosing the Watch 3 41mm as the trade in device (even though I dont have a Watch 3)
            then on assessment tick the screen is damaged, then they offer a $1 trade in.
            And when going through check out, the -$500 trade in bonus gets already discounted.
            then, dont send any watch in which then they will bill/deduct my used card $30 or $60 after a week or so?
            Is that how it happens?

            Oh, just realised the trade in value for Non EDU is only a bonus $250 as above, is that for the store or shop app?

            Lastly, would you be able to say if there will be a better time to buy or a better bargain?

            • +1

              @zztrader: EOFY deals can be better, however, there was a free watch last year around late July-early August. Samsung has always been kind with its offerings.

              Search on OzBargain for historical offerings.

              • @nepalicurryinahurry: Thanks for the update on that. I had seen them, but always missed them or have been side tracked or switched priorities.

                Thinking I might wait until then as I got a stack of things up in the air atm but the temptation is a bit hard to shake lol.

                Appreciate your info and efforts on the threads 👍🙏

          • @nepalicurryinahurry: so if my device was valued at $110, they already charged me this amount, now if i dont send it back, they will charge me another $60, and not refund $110?

      • Ok, thanks mate!

  • "Please note that $60 will be charged to your debit/credit card when you fail to return the trade-in device within the return window. Hence, $60 will be charged to your card a few weeks after you've received your device."
    Does this mean that you can apply for a trade-in, not send the phone, and be charged only $60, and at the end of the day, you still save $200$?

    • +1

      Yes. Samsung bears the cost of non-device trade-in value. The value of trade-in device is paid to Asurion which is why you’ll be charged the trade-in value + $30/$60 for not returning the device.

    • but at time of order they already charged me $110 which they said will be refunded once i return device.

      • Because the trade-in value of the device you put for trade-in is $110. If you send it to them, they'll send you back $110 else they'll charge you an extra $60 on top of your trade-in value which they've already charged.

  • I'm trying to trade in my Samsung watch 4 LTE. There weren't any questions about screen scratches.

    Do they deduct the trade-in amount for scratches on the screen?

  • -2

    I put my current S21 for trade in and I dont want to send it, they already charged me $110 and now saying if i dont send within a week they will charge me $60 for late delivery, how do go in cancelling this trade -in where they only charge me $60?

    • Did you buy a s24? You got -$110, so I don’t understand what you’re asking

      • -2

        Yes i got s24 ultra. But they charge me $110 extra for trade in

        • But the phone was $110 less.

        • Thats the trade in value of your phone. If you send the phone, they will refund $110 to you.

  • -1

    Live chat offered me an additional $100 bonus on trade in bonus taking it from $250 to $350 extra.

    • Wow, how did you chat to them? Just asking for more discount?^.^

      • Why did I get negged …. yeah I just said I want to swap can they do anything and they said are you trading I said yep and they said what about an additional $100 trade bonus

        • +1

          Did you buy? $100 bonus won’t work on edu

          • @snvl: yes, they have to create you a specific code for your account which is why I didn't publish. I used employee program not edu but prices are the same so would expect a similar outcome.

            • @hessels92: I checked and support confirms that their cant make a code for employee program portal. Are you sure?

  • EPP store has 25% discount but only $150 trade in bonus. great deal btw.

  • I got a problem when trade in the $1 galaxy watch 3 in education store. I just randomly input the serial number and click trade in, it shows invalid trade. Anyone encountered that before? Or I need some real serial numbers?

    • Try another random number

      • I have tried more than 20 numbers… Any format for it or how many numbers should it be? It says 8-14 characters

  • Trying to get $1 s10 + with cracked screen and getting message : You cannot proceed with Trade-ion as the Trade-ID is invalid.
    Do they not allow $1 item? After trying 3 times, now cart asks be to wait an hour. Tried it both in app and browser.

  • Ugh trying to decide between S24U or 15 Pro Max if they both end up roughly the same with the Pro Max around $100 more. I've been Android my whole life and love the customisation, hate the iOS ecosystem. But the iPhone's video quality seems to be better (which is rather important for me, particularly for concert videos.)

    PS The lowest galaxy watch you can select on the Westpac portal is the 4 for $60. Lowest amount is $5 for a Note 8. Can you put a fake serial number too for that and not send it in?

    • How much can you get the 15 pro max for??

  • Is there a way to login to the app and use the Westpac discount too?
