[Price Error] Mac Pro at Qantas Store for 93K points, or 5K points + $520

Moved to Forum: Original Link

A friend brought this to my attention on Sunday morning, but you can get the last generation Mac Pro for 93,000 points (using barometer for 4230 points for $25 Myer gift card, that's only about $549. If you use the Points + Pay slider to reduce the points to 5,000, you only have to pay $520. Not sure if it's a mistake or just clearance, but I ordered one Sunday. Hasn't shipped yet, but should in the next day or so.


Price error (moved to forums): Emails are now coming through confirming the price error. As compensation Qantas are providing 2000 points and a 20% discount code for those who unsuccessfully ordered.

        • @Ahan:

          I read your post as you intended to use 5000 points each time (40 units if you had 200,000) to "turn them into cash".

          I thought you were complaining that your points were not worth enough when using them on holidays - that you wanted to sell the 40x Mac Pros for profit on that basis. I guess I should have caught on a little when 40*520=a lot.

          I didn't realise that you meant you spent all the points you had on just 2 of them, it didn't read like that to me, sorry. You are right that's completely fine and I am 100% wrong due to confusion.

          Sorry for the confusion, I think you can understand where I was coming from though.

          @c0balt: haha

        • @c0balt: thanks. FYI - I only bought one…

  • Bought!

  • No luck for me, out of stock

    • out of stock is first step before cancellation of orders.

  • +2

    Good luck guys!!

    Gotta be in it to win!

    better than buying lotto this is!

  • +1

    Darn! I obviously don't know my Apple products when I click on the link and expected a laptop not a black cylinder!

    Looks a great deal, so tempted as this looks great as a media PC!

    • +1

      A $100 windows tablet makes for a great media PC.

      This is a content creation work station.

      • Excuse my ignorance then, I just don't see any use for myself except as a media PC to hook up to the TV.

        It looks great next to my lounge room TV in fact.

  • Went to order… Confirm payment - Out of Stock :(

  • just missed it. Sitting in my cart and going through checkout doesn't mean any safety either

  • all fxxxxxing gone.

    just couldnt add my payment for over 5 minutes. but frankly i dont think i really miss anything but a cheap dream.

  • shxx, out of stock while I am login …

  • Now getting "There is no stock left". Damn. :)

  • +1 for the deal but op screwed his friend and his order lol

    If we get it dunno what to donwith it.. we will all have to buy mac monitors and keyboards which arent cheap?

    • There's no such thing as a Mac monitor. If your monitor does not have DisplayPort then you will need an adaptor. (You will probably need a MDP-DP cable even if it did have.)

      It comes with a keyboard, and you can use any PC keyboard, but a Mac keyboard is more convenient because it has the correct layout obviously.

      • No mac monitor? So what do people use this with?

        • These are used for a variety of pro applications. People buy what suits their usage. I run 3 and we use dual 25" monitors and broadcast monitors on each. They can even be used headless for certain applications, i.e. Without monitors at all.

      • The Mac Pro and previous gen MacBook Pro's all have HDMI.

        • So it does. So any "PC" screen with HDMI or DVI (via adaptor) will work easily.

  • Out of stock after I hit the Pay button! 8'/

  • mother trucker.. i thought i had 50000+ points.. then i just remembered that i spent most of it on woolies gift cards worth $550…

    • LOL

    • You didn't miss out on anything anyway.

    • +2

      You've just saved yourself a headache, no way any of these will ship

  • Mine got removed form my cart!

    • out of stock thats why

      • oh well, I was sitting on it for too long….now i'll play the waiting game, to see if i really missed out or not.

        • +1

          You commented in this thread 15 minutes ago, you just sat on it for that long? Sheeesh!

        • +1

          Yeah, I became too torn after reading and watching all the neg reviews. But by the time I realised its just $500, it was too late for me.

  • Wow, that was lucky. I got in 1 minute past 11 am.

    I do hope I receive the order.

  • +4

    I managed to put into my cart, but then being an Ozbargainer then went to look for a valid promo code, after trying about a dozen I gave up.

    Unfortunately I then got the this item is now out of stock message….

    Moral, this was enough of a bargain don't be greedy.

  • OUT OF STOCK - just tried to order now and items removed from cart due to out of stock ! Hope people get their laptops who ordered them before me!

    • +2

      It's not a laptop

      • I hope everyone gets their lapbop?

    • This isn't a laptop…

    • +1

      You obviously don't know what you were ordering.

      • +11

        And that in itself, is the true OzBargain way.

        • rofl so true

        • +3

          Buy now, think later

  • Thanks OP - this will be brilliant if it actually gets delivered!

  • Was just calling Qantas FF to buy points but now I see: OUT OF STOCK :(

  • Looks like they fixed it:

    Unfortunately Mac Pro 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor was removed from your cart as it is out of stock.

    Right when I tried to check out

  • and the waiting game now starts….

  • +16

        not sure, can't wait to sell this on ebay. Wish i could've bought more

    • you serious??? when you place the order?

    • +2

      Are you sure? None of the people I know that ordered one on the weekend have received their shipping confirmation yet.

      • You should wait until the item got delivered to make this post………now it's hopeless for all the weekend orders…..

    • Not sure if trolling. Hope it's real!

    • +5

  • +5

    Link now dead. Actually needed one of these lol. It's what happens when you actually do work at work and don't constantly check ozbargain as per usual.

    • +2

      I'll have one for sale

      • lol how much?

        • Me too, perhaps.

        • I'll let you know once it arrives(if) but it will be for less than it's RRP :p

        • Starting the bids at $520 lol

    • +3

      Most of us are OzBargain Professionals. Finding and buying deals is our day job.

    • you can buy mine, don't worry, 50% off for best friend like you. I accept PayPal

    • Same here! Amazing deal. Hope people who did order get their Mac Pros though.

  • +2

    I didn't have enough points but then I managed to add the item to the cart. the item is still in the shopping cart. I am waiting for my 50,000 pts from qantas life insurance. curious
    .
    .
    .
    Quick update the cart item now shows 719690 worth of Qantas point. so sad they fixed the issue

    • +3

      I admire your commitment to bargains that you would sign up for a life insurance policy just for the points to take advantage for what looks to be 99.99% a price error. That's a high level of dedication to the bargain lifestyle.

      You would be my first pick in a bargain hunter team.

    • waiting for 50k and now your pounts is 700k+

      should have been able to bought it previously with 600k+ points :p

  • Thanks. Got it at 11:01am before it's out of stock. Hopefully I can get the shipping confirmation soon

  • +12

    don't know what all the fuss is about i got one for $2.99 - can't even tell the difference.

    • yours is probably more useful

  • +1

    I hope to all those who purchased get them

  • Thanks OP, managed to get my order in at 10:54am, would've been sooner had the site not kept timing out trying to add my credit card.

  • need to find a place to put it. (if it arrive)

  • awww I missed out :(

    This has to be the deal of the century if it goes through.

  • +11

    719,690 or 5000 points +$4864.89 now

    • +2

      not a good sight…

    • Yup! Asked a friend to buy one on my behalf, ended up buying it for his mom instead! :(

  • Ordered! Fingers crossed.

  • good luck guys.

  • +1

    shxt….I am already start checking on youtube about the Mac Pro…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK7X8rDHU58

    Am i Dreaming too much???

  • +4

    Page has been revised. Says 719K points now.

  • +3

    Really hoping it goes through. I want to stick a fan on top of it and pretend its a Dyson cooler!!

    • +2

      But it will be blowing hot air.

      • +3

        even better….winter is coming!!

  • Good luck everybody who ordered! meanwhile I'll sit on the sidelines and watch…

  • Happy to swap mine for a brand new local stock Phantom 4 Pro if mine goes through.

  • As it will probably get rejected, I wonder if they will give a reasonable credit in some form or another for the inconvenience

    • +1

      Reasonable credit via the method if a sorry email more like it….

    • +1

      "inconvenience"? haha most people would assume this is probably a price error to begin with. You're creating the inconvenience yourself but trying to order one.

      • missed out didn't ya!!!

        Maybe get a letter

        “Dear Slippery, sorry this was a mistake, here are 500,000 points to make up for our error”

  • +3

    hopefully it gets cancelled, and as a good gesture they give the 719k points as a sorry.

    • or a free business trip to Europe

      • +3

        I expect nothing less than a first class

        • …return trip with accommodation and $2,000 spending money.

  • +2

    waiting for my cancellation letter, Im betting it will come though about 3pm today

  • Good luck to all those ordered!

  • Crossing my fingers for OP. Poor guy.

  • +24

    ATTENTION all OzBargainers who have rolled the dice to try to get one of these… DO NOT CONTACT QANTAS to check if they will honour this offer. On previous price errors I have seen people phone to check and reduce the 1% chance down to zero. THIS IS A DUMB IDEA.

    • Someone already has contacted them, no one here erads comments.. they click and do it. too late..

      cant get sydney house porperty now
