JB Hi-Fi - PlayStation Plus 12 Month Membership $34.27

3300

JB Hi-Fi

PlayStation Plus: 12 Month Membership (Digital Download)

Offer available from June 9th

EDIT 1 (7:55am): It appears that you are no longer able to add the item to your cart.

EDIT 2 (8:10am): The page has been taken down and the link no longer working

EDIT 3 (3:30pm): JB Hi-Fi have replied via email to all purchasers of the discounted memberships. The transactions will be cancelled but as a good will gesture, they are offering a gift card valued at $14.70. Please note that if you have placed multiple orders you will only be entitled to the one gift card valued at $14.70.

This is a good outcome for those of us who did buy early this morning. Thanks to JB Hi-Fi for the gesture of a gift card. Well done guys… and please, go easy on whoever made the mistake. They've made everyone's long weekend just that little bit better. Cheers!

EDIT 4 (one week later): By now most who got in on this deal will have received not only one gift card from JB Hi-Fi but two gift cards. This was an added "bonus" but it meant you had to act fast. It allowed you to get a yearly membership to Playstation Plus for only $19.57!!! Two days later and JB Hi-Fi were cancelling these second cards. Several people have now said their second cards are no longer working. Anyway, it was a fun ride. Hope it worked out well for you.

  • Just received my PS + code.

        No worries. I won't lie, I thought about sitting on it. Glad it worked out so well and became a bit of a classic.

    Props to JB Hifi for eating the damage on this double screw-up. What they lost in gift cards they made up in goodwill.

    • -1

      Time to support JB Hifi ! Iā€™m actually scared there business might go down, after they given everyone 2 e-cards. Think i'll start by upvoting every JB deal :)

  • Says gift card system is unavailable atm?

    • Yep, the website is in meltdown, and it looks like they've taken down the 12 month PS+ Subscription.

      Possibly try again later/tomorrow or just buy one in-store. You've got until the 16th of June to get it for that price.

  • Sorry that the deal didn't exactly go to plan.

    But, at least JB were relatively prompt in issuing refunds, along with a $14.70 gift voucher (they actually sent me 2 of them by mistake so I was quick to head in-store and use them)… should I feel guilty?

    It looks like they've removed the 12 month subscription from the website. Hopefully those who bought one in the early hours will still be able to pick one up in store with the $14.70 voucher for $34.28 (I know, it's a cent more).

    If you haven't received any emails regarding your order, send the customer service team a message through the website. They responded to my query within 30 minutes.

    Good luck everyone!

  • they've taken it off the website again. can't order it

      i decided to do my assignment by staying up whole night, email notification pops up about PS4, I could not believe it. best decision ever, got HZD for $11 after getting 2 $14 e gift cards instead of 1.

  • What are they doing? Offer us a discount code to buy an item they have pulled from the store?

  • Best option would be to go in store if possible. Lucky I checked this page as I was walking out of work and detoured to a store.

  • +2

    Now this is what I call an OzBargain.

  • Got my $30 PSN code by email already, Thanks JBHI

  • What time are people receiving their codes? And what payment method did you use?

  • I guess another cumbersome work around is to use the code JB sent us, buy a $50 PSN card from them, go over to Sony PS Store, buy the 12 month PSN as they also have it for $48.95.

    SUBJECT: - PlayStation Plus: 12 Month Membership (Digital Download)

    Hello xxxx

    RE: Online Order # xxxxx

    We are sorry for the delays in the processing of your online order.

    We are currently experiencing a high volume of orders for this digital download and as a result there are currently some delays in the PlayStation Plus: 12 Month being emailed to you.

    Please be advised we will endeavour to email your code to you before the end of the weekend.

    Kind Regards,

    Online Customer Service | JB Hi-Fi Online Division

    • Yep I got this email also just now.
      Very frustrating JB.

    • I also received the same email.

  • I haven't bothered to read all the comments so how does this work? I've had too much Aldi port tonight. I got to $14.70 a ventures so I can redeem both of them and I get my money back on PayPal?

    • Yes

      • Short but sweet, I like it

  • -2

    WTF is JB doing?

    I was patient before and had a little empathy for the original stuff up but now I'm getting frustrated as they've taken the product down again… so much for having online multiplayer on the long weekend…!

    • +2

      They're too busy making it rain with gift cards.

        After all the shenanigans, I'm not sure I can be stuffed with PS Plus now - hadn't really considered it before the low price.

        Have more than enough games I'll never play already and may just stick with XBox Live Gold. One membership probably enough. Will sleep on it!

  • Good effort by JB to honour their mistake. I just got Horizon Zero Dawn for $24 using the $14 gift card. I might also buy a 12 month PS+ sub for $34 when they are back in stock.

    I had a PS+ account from USA, does anyone know if i join using an Aus PS+ membership i can still play the free games that were downloaded on the USA account?

    Thanks

    • You must have an active PS+ sub for the region your free games are from to be able to access them i.e you'd need to keep your US PS+ sub active or you won't be able to play those games.

      • +1

        Cheers Jonesy7707. Thanks for letting me know. Might just hold off and buy another game with the second gift voucher since i'm essentially committed to the US PS Store. Hope they have a good deal on memberships as mines expiring in 7 days.

        • The US PS store had $10 off starting today until the 17th of June making it US$49.99 . It's not much but it's a saving at least unless you normally pick it up cheaper through other avenues.

  • Can anyone confirm if the physical cards for the 12month PS plus subscription are also marked on Sale at $48 ?

    Thinking of going in store instead to get one with my $14 gift card if I can't get any online.

    Also got a second one to my surprise lol. Thinking of getting uncharted collection or ratchet and Clank. #firstworldproblems

    • Yes, the cards are the same price instore.

  • +1

    Thanks OP

    bought last guardian for $4 after the 2 x 15$ giftcards I got!

    score!!!!

    • bought HZD for $11. hi5 to us!

    • Cheers. Enjoy the game.

    Please note: Due to high order volumes, this item is currently unavailable for purchase
    Please try again after 10am AEST, Saturday 10 June. We apologise for any inconvenience

    Ozbargained big time lol

  • Jesus Christ I am so (profanity) salty I missed this.

  • I can't believe they sent two vouchers to everyone for just a minute of work buying the cards, insane how much they would've lost on this.

  • Anyone receive their code yet?

    • +1

      I got my codes this afternoon after getting a delay email last night. My subscription now won't run out until September 2019

  • I ended getting other stuff in store. Sweet, thanks JB.

  • Can someone pls clarify will this start 12 months from the date I enter code etc?
    As it's for my sons birthday which isn't til August & he won't have a ps4 until then.

    Sorry noob,first world problems etc I know but the bottom of the email I received from JB says expires 12 months from "date of purchase"??

    • **** I may have figured it out

      12 months expiry from date of purchase to activate I think it means!****?!

      • +1

        That's correct, you don't have to enter the code until his birthday.

  • +1

    Anyone had issues with their gift cards not working? I put it in, lists the balance of $14.70, when i go to pay I get the error " Authorisation failed with message (Invalid Card and Balance Status)"

    • Both of mine worked fine. If you got more than one card sent perhaps they cancelled the second?

    • +1

      i seem to have the same issue

      • +1

        (Authorisation failed with message (Invalid Card and Balance Status) error message also appears for me after JB try to process the payment

        • Have you tried both cards?

        • @mikey31: Yeah i tried both cards, i tried via paypal and entering credit card details with no success

    • Yeah having the same issue

    • Both of mine aren't working either

    • "Authorisation failed with message (Invalid Card and Balance Status)"

      • +1

        I managed to use one of the codes. Should have got in earlier before they cancelled the doubles.

    • Went into JB yesterday and managed to use one of the cards. The second one had an error message "gift card suspended". But I'm still happy as it was free money for not doing much. Thanks OP

    • So I guess we can take it that all of the secondary gift cards have been cancelled now? Still, one card is a good outcome for all. Cheers JB!

      • i just got off the phone to JBHIFI and both my cards are suspended.

        • Sorry to hear that.

        • Why both?

  • Authorisation failed with message (Invalid Card and Balance Status)

    What does that mean? Any idea how to overcome?

    • +1

      I'm guessing JB have just said enough is enough. They tried to do the best by their customers, stuffed up and have now pulled the plug completely.

      • So are we having no voucher at all then? They said so in their email

        • I don't know. You'll have to speak to JB to confirm.

  • +1

    If you didn't use the extra 14.70 quickly, they will catch on and delete (at least) one of the cards.

    • Yep, they did that to me. Too slow haha.

    • Well at least that explains why one of my cards had a balance of $0.

  • I only attempted one purchase, so got one gift card.

    Downloaded the gift card the other day and it said $14.70 credit, today I tried to use it and it says $0 value.

    I wonder if they have cancelled every gift card now.

    Shame I didn't get to use mine and wasn't one of the ones who bought multiple.

    • You should have received 2 but I would follow it it up if you got 1 and that was cancel too

    • They might have just auto-cancelled one card for each account. I'd get in touch and tell them what happened.

  • Update-
    Mine worked with the discount. So I paid 49-14=34. The second voucher did not work as it said not authorised. Might try the second voucher again when shopping at jb next time, if it doesn't work I am not complaining. Still very happy with the whole deal.

    • Pretty sure they cancelled all the 2nd gift cards.

      • Both of mine were showing the balance but were not working together. I thought using 2 gift cards were the problem. I tried with 1 and it worked. Anyways it's still a good bargain

  • I got one with $0 balance and second one that's says "Sorry, our gift card service is currently unavailable." >< I guess need to follow up JB soon

  • Anyone get their refunds yet?

    • I'm not sure what you mean? The gift cards were sent out last Friday 9 June. I think most people got two and those second cards have now been cancelled. Should hopefully leave you with one working card worth $14.70.

      • The $34.27 from originally paying for the 12 months of ps plus. Which they said they would cancel, refund us and give us a $14.70 voucher.

        Edit: The transaction is not listed anymore on my paypal but the amount is taken out on my bank account.

        • Now I understand. I also paid by PayPal but my bank never released the funds to PayPal as JB Hi-Fi never confirmed the sale. Are you sure it's still not listed as pending on your bank account? My PayPal is linked to my credit card. I'm guessing yours is linked to a debit card or your bank account?

        • Yes mine is linked to my debit card. I'll wait a few more days see if the transaction disappears.

        • @Ak333: same problem here Ak was going to give them a call in regards to it.

        • @Beewee97: Ok please keep me updated

        • @Beewee97: the transaction disappeared. So yes it was just pending as @Big Dog suggested.
