Apple iPad 32GB Wi-Fi $398 at Harvey Norman

1960

Got a Harvey Norman "amazing deals" catalogue in the junk mail today. Decent price. The symbols at the end of the product description mean: colours may vary between stores and available online and in selected stores. I assume that means all colours for this price if in stock.

Spewing cos I purchased one for $449 from HN last week! Thankfully used gift cards obtained through amex deals so the pain is not so bad. Update: For anyone wondering I managed to get the difference refunded this morning using online chat (reference their 7 day price guarantee).

There's also some other stuff in the catalogue that looks like decent pricing, but not best ever like ue boom 2 @ $147. Google wifi $388.

    Not bad, $378.10 with Officeworks price match delivered if you don't have the AMEX promotion, could you upload the whole page please? Because it's not the same price on the site.

      • Yep that is better, thank you!

      • Interesting descriptive tags

        • no idea how those tags got there, I certainly didn't add any

          @herbo: it’s what happens when you use tinypic. I suggest using ozbargains built in image host.

    • How do you have them price match online?

      • +1

        I don't believe that you can do it online, you just need to do it in-store or by calling 1300 OFFICE (633 423)

      Thanks for this hint, got OW to price match over the phone and ordered and now picked up one. Got one for $326, not sure how OW reduced the iPad to this amount. This is around 18% off HN's price. Anyway am happy to have got one for this price. Thanks herbo.

  • What model is it? 2017 or ipad air 2?

    • 2017 I would have thought

    • +7

      MPGT2X/A is iPad 2017.

      • Sorry for the dumb question, the iPad names and releases have confused me since they stopped using numbers to represent model.

        Is 2017 or air 2 the newer iPad?

        I look on wiki and I see iPad Air 2 has chipset A8x does this have the A9 chipset?

        • +5

          This 2017 is the newer iPad. It's official name is just 'iPad' but we call it iPad 2017 on OzBargain to avoid confusion and mistags. This iPad 2017 has A9 chipset. This year they also released iPad Pro 10.5 and iPad Pro 12.9 (2nd generation iPad Pro), link with A10x chip. There is a 2015 iPad pro 12.9 as well (with A9x chip) which was released which the iPad pro 9.7 (1st generation iPad Pro)

          iPad Air 2 was released in 2014 according to wiki. There is also iPad Mini 3 that was released in 2015.

        • 2017 aka "iPad" aka iPad5 aka iPad 7th gen is the current model, with a newer CPU.

          iPad Air 2 is the superseded model which is lighter and has a better screen.

  • Just purchased this from HN yesterday for $445, would any refund of the difference affect the AMEX promo?

    • I don't think so. I refunded part of my purchase before at country road and still got the cash back.

    • -1

      Best is to refund into a card with different number.

      • Some stores won't let you do that. I can tell you that for my store if you want a refund that was paid for with card, it has to go back to the same card.

        • What about if the customer no longer has that credit card? Would you give them gift cards instead?

        • @krazek: Correct.

        • @krazek:

          It reduces the scam where they charge a stolen cc and then refund to another cc before the card holder knows what happened.

      • -1

        That’s fraud mate.

        • -1

          That is NOT fraud mate. There are too many cases that could legitimate this. What if your account got closed in between using the offer & refunding?

          Furthermore, Amex can ALWAYS check with HN and find out what transactions got cancelled, then reverse the statement credits as they like.

        • @jkcat: You can refund amounts to closed credit cards. I'll give you another try lol.

    • I refunded a samsung last year within 24 hours and my amex offer was also reversed. This could be different if you are only refunding difference? Let us know

  • Can I use 100$ off through AMEX offer by adding something for 5-10$?

    • Yes that should work

    • Yep. $400 total spend.

      • Yep. I used mine for an iPad just recently and the money has come in. Now it's $398 so even cheaper, just make sure you add $2.

  • The model in the pic is for Gold only - MPG2X/A.

  • Can I get price match at Myer?

  • Lack of competition in this segment is painful…

    • ?

  • I'm flying on Tuesday night so really need to buy one before then.

    What time exactly does this sale start?

  • Does anyone know whether this sale will apply online as well or is it an in-store only promo? Also I'm assuming the Amex cashback applies to Harvey's Norman online store purchases as well?

    • The symbols at the end of the product description mean: colours may vary between stores and available online and in selected stores.

    Any offers for the 64gb or 128gb models? Need the bigger memory for porn and stuff

    • +21

      I admire your honesty.

    • +74

      Wait until you're Jared18.

  • +3

    You really need the biggest size with ipad if you planning to install tons of apps. 32 GB isn't enough

  • -7

    Just a heads up that the AMEX deal doesn’t apply to a bunch of brands, including Apple.

    “Excludes purchases of AEG, Apple, Asko, De Dietrich, Elica, Fagor, Falcon, Gaggenau, Miele, NEFF and St George products.”

    • Works with apple items (from experience) even though it says excluded.

  • Mum's old iPad Mini 1 has finally died.. perfect timing

    • +6

      perfect timing

      She is still your mum

    • So you get this one and your mum get's your hand me down?

      Both parties winning!

  • +1

    So with Amex offer price comes down to 298$

    • How?

      • +2

        Add a $2 item

        • +10

          Wouldn’t that be $300 then as you’re spending the extra $2 :P

      The Amex offer says in term and conditions rebate not applicable to Apple products

    its a good deal for an "apple".. but sorry when you can get "smart" watches that take sim cards for less than $20.. (dz09) and way older tablets i.e. acer a1-810 (i bought it years ago off ozb :)) which can take a "micro sd card".. i just cant see the attraction IF your a heavy user of tablets.. so in short, i would only spend hundreds of dollars if i can expand the memory, and it take a sim card, just pointing this out to potential new users to tablets to explore their needs and other options out there..

  • Wow bought this a week ago for 449 and this happens. I'm on the same boat as the OP

    • +1

      Cruise?

    • 7 days price guarantee?

    • I checked with HN online chat and they said that their 7 price guarantee can be applied to this but they can't apply it until the catalogue price starts tomorrow. So if you purchased it after Tuesday last week you should be able to claim.

  • Now I need a $2 item to get the Amex deal.

  • Crap just bought it from Harvey Norman last week. Perhaps it's time to return it as it hasn't been opened yet

    • HN Price Match Guarantee

      Simply show us evidence of our competitor’s advertised price for the identical product advertised 7 days after your purchase. Once we verify the price is genuine (inclusive of delivery or installation costs) and the product is ready for immediate delivery, we will happily match or refund the difference to you.

    • I checked with HN online chat and they said that their 7 price guarantee can be applied to this but they can't apply it until the catalogue price starts tomorrow. So if you purchased it after Tuesday last week you should be able to claim.

    • I used that price match during last year offer. Worked fine to get back the difference. But it was within 7 days when HN had their specials. Not sure if it's beyond, but give it a try. It's often depend on the one you speak too.

  • Is there likely to be a better same price on this sometime between now and Christmas, apparently my 6 yr old has to have one for (public) school next year so guess what she is getting for Christmas? I have avoided Apple products to a large degree so far so haven't paid attention to their sales or lack thereof.

    • +1

      This is a pretty good price, cheapest it’s been for a while. Especially good deal if you can manage to price beat at Officeworks. However, no guarantees that it won’t be cheaper than this before Christmas.

  • I have an Amex card. How do I apply for $100 off?

  • Bought this 2 weeks ago at JB for $441. Any way for me to claim the price difference from JB?

    • +1

      You can try to buy one from HN, don't open it, and return it to JB. But slightly risky.

  • Sorry for this novice question regarding AMEX cashback and HN, but what happens if you spend $400, do you get the $100 cashback straight in your account straight away… or how soon after?

    And what happen if I returned the item to HN for a refund afterwards? Do I get to keep the $100 cashback?

    Cheers!!

    • +1

      The terms say it can take up to a month, often it’s about a week. If you return it, they will refund back to the card generally and the cash back according to the terms will be reversed as well. I have never tried this though, so cannot verify. Also, Harvey Norman charges a 20% restocking fee.

      • My experience this year is that when you spend the $400 and then get it refunded, Amex has reversed the $100 credit. I then subsequently spent the $400 again - Amex online said still eligible, but need to request them to apply the credit manually.

      Excludes purchases of AEG, Apple, Asko, De Dietrich, Elica, Fagor, Falcon, Gaggenau, Miele, NEFF and St George products

    For those wanting to use AMEX deal & get $100 back you'll be disappointed as terms & conditions say …. 'Excludes purchases of AEG, Apple, Asko, De Dietrich, Elica, Fagor, Falcon, Gaggenau, Miele, NEFF and St George products'

    If Apple was included I would have bit the bullet but I don't really need an iPad so I'll hold on for a better price

    • +1

      I bought two pairs of AirPods and got the cash back no problems.

      • really thats surprising. I was also wondering how AMEX would know if an Apple product was purchased

    • +2

      Plenty of others have reported getting it for Apple products, Amex can only see the amount, not what you have purchased.

      • good to know. In that case it's too good a deal to miss so I might buy it today. thanks

    • Welcome to OZB

    • so how does this warrant a negative vote? I'm just warning fellow ozbargainers of the terms & conditions. We're are getting away with this it's good for us but they will not ask any of us before fixing this so we should still be aware of it.

      • It's been discussed many times before.

    • I bought an Ipad last weekend and got the $100 credit. Amex has no idea what you are buying and I doublt Harvey Norman would be allowed to pass that information onto them because of privacy issues.

  • -2

    Guys, just read the terms for the Harvey Norman offer. Apple products are not included!

    • Plenty of others have reported getting it for Apple products, Amex can only see the amount, not what you have purchased.

    • Welcome to OZB

  • Missed by 3 mins!

  • What is the version of the ipad? there seems to be a few different versions I cant keep up with.. this current?

    • This would be the current ipad I think, They discontinued the air, cut costs and made it a little thicker and a little quicker. The New iPad was born.

      • Thought the iPad 3 was the New iPad

        • +1

          I think technically every ipad is the new ipad :p

  • They just bumped the price of iPad mini from $518 last night to $548 now

  • Darn, I didn't check my offers and by the time I found out, they were taking no more registrations for it.

    • You can always get a fellow ozbargainer to help you buy with their amex offer and split the $100.

  • Not available at North Ryde Shop. Will need to wait for big W Price down and match here.

    • starts tomorrow

      • Got the date wrong. I got one from HN North Ryde today. Hopefully the 100 credit will show up soon.

  • +1

    For those who claim to have received the Amex cashback for exclusions, was the purchase in-store or online?

    • I would also like to know this please.
