Big W are selling the iPhone 6 from $858 (that's $11 less than Apple).
Assuming you can find one…

Entertainment Card holders can purchase Big W & Wish Gift Cards at 5% discount. So $850 of gift cards comes to $807.50 (plus $8 remaining). That's an everyday price of $815.50 from Big W without resorting to price matching.

Don't forget to pay with a FF/rewards points accruing credit card.

Don't forget to show your Everyday Rewards card for even more FF/rewards points.

Finally, be sure to leave the country within 60 days to claim another 10% back from TRS (that's $815.50 - $78 = $737.50 after refund). Maybe use some of those FF points you've been racking up. Don't forget to ask for a complimentary seat upgrade.

      So OW price comes down to $815?

      • HomeAlone on 07/10/2014 - 21:31

        Yes, assuming OW doesn't reduce their price before the Big W offer starts Thursday.

        Now there's a very good thought :) 5% isn't bad for the wish card effetive discount.

        I had trouble finding pricing online for the iPhone 6 @ www.bigw.com.au though - maybe it was yet to be fully updated.

    The 64GB is also cheaper at $988. I have thought about getting price match at OW but will probably have stock in December or something..

    In order to get price match, both stores will need to have stock which will not happen in near future…

          What's wrong with 16GB? It's generally too small for most people, sure you can work around it , but a higher capacity phone is always worth it rather than the base model

        • akd on 07/10/2014 - 22:21

          16 GB iPhone after 2 months becomes feature phone which can only be used to make phone calls and messaging. No more space to install new apps or music(forget the camera).
          Unless you use it as feature phone with few smart features from day one like old 50+ people.

          omg you have no idea. 16gb is perfectly fine and I don't agree with this "feature phone" notion. Most people these days stream content and media. All those arguing the need for 64gb/128gb still keep their old seasons of 1 and 2 of family guy they will never watch again. I've always had 16gb and never felt deprived with a bit of management. You can also use things like Dropbox so your files are always in the cloud and at ur fingertips.

          That's only if you have a good enough plan giving you enough data.

        • Gavman on 08/10/2014 - 08:37

          i find myself in and around wifi most the day. Ppl who go to uni and have jobs do to. Really comes down to the individual. For some ppl they need more space and have that option of spending 130$/$300 for more space but ppl can and do get by with 16gb ok

        • akd on 08/10/2014 - 13:54

          @clse945111: Completely agree. For prepaid users with limited data, Dropbox and other cloud facilities are not on the go. So there is need to keep the files on phone. My main issue with iPhone is that App size is comparatively large as compared to Android apps and they take up too much space. Apple own apps like Numbers, podcasts etc. are more than 300 MB each + the documents.

      If you can get discounted wish cards, then you can potentially save an additional 5% when buying at BigW, as opposed to Apple Store.

      • rotoclock on 08/10/2014 - 03:51

        This, plus staff discount for the thousands of people who work for Woolworths, plus QFF points. I worked out that buying the iPhone 6 64GB from Big W will cost me over $100 less than buying it from Apple.

        • 247thesteven on 08/10/2014 - 16:42

          Can you tell me how you did this ?

          @247thesteven:

          You buy the woolworths gift cards from racq http://www.racq.com.au/membership/what-you-get/discounts/Woo…

          Then they are obviously combining an additional discount with their staff discount card.

        • rotoclock on 08/10/2014 - 19:28
          +2

          @247thesteven:

          You can get 5% off wish gift cards from a number of places (RACV/RACQ/etc, entertainment book, various student association discounts, etc).

          Then, Woolies staff discount is 5%. I have a discount card in my own right, but even if you don't have one yourself, chances are good you know someone who either works for a Woolies group member or has a secondary card (not condoning this as it's against the rules, but people do do it all the time).

          So for the 64gb, 5% off $988 is $938.60, and a further 5% off that is $891.67, or a little over $100 off the Apple price.
          For the 16gb, 5% off $858 is $815.10, another 5% off makes it $774.35, a little under $100 off the Apple price.

          I thought about waiting for the next double staff discount weekend at Big W, they usually come around every couple of months, but as I'm going overseas next month it makes more sense for me to buy it now and claim the GST back through the TRS. I just hope Big W gets stock in before I leave.

    One of manager bought iPhone 6 few days after the launch date, then he's been using proper aluminium casing ($3-40 paid at Optus), he took out of case, and it's slightly bended.

    He doesn't mind and argue that it's not bended, but he doesn't want to recommend anyone to purchase.

  • netsurfer on 08/10/2014 - 01:31

    Generally, there are issues each time Apple introduce a new iPhone series:

    iPhone 4 - Antenna location, camera (green spot in the middle)
    iPhone 5 - Paint could be easily scratched, camera (purple haze)
    iPhone 6 / 6+ - Easy / easier to bend, camera (inconsistent white balance)

    Don't get me wrong, it is quite a challenge to deliver something issue free the first time. However, there seems to be a common pattern so far (the need for a case, and camera issue of some sort). To be fair, Apple's 14 day no question asked money back guarantee is still the benchmark.

    Increase the screen size in 2014 is a really good strategy from Apple. Honestly, there is no major CPU / performance improvement this year for both Android and iOS devices. Android flagship devices already got the screen size increase in 2013. People are still happy to get an LG G2 at a bargain price this year.
