    Awesome

    The same old scheme from 2016 rebranded and with different products, nothing else is new. See the web site or my old post for details. NSW Fridge & TV Replacement Offer for Concession Card Holders.

    Contrary to OP's description the scheme is not means tested, but you must hold one of the qualifying concession cards. Some of these qualifying cards are means and asset tested and some are not.

    • Peck on 05/08/2018 - 15:49

      Maybe, but good to get the reminder. So many things to remember, but I will still probably forget just when I need a new fridge.

      • alvian on 05/08/2018 - 16:43

        I don't know what you mean by "maybe". They are either the same scheme (with a rebrand) or they aren't. The links in my post still go to the right place so I reckon they are the same.

        I am not against people reposting long running deals (I'd unintentionally did it myself recently) and it is permitted by the posting guidelines, but have you read the original title and description posted by OP? OP did not attempt to edit the post to put in more information. Should we put up with such a low quality post and expect a mod to completely rewrite it?

      Xiaomi.

    Can I use a Pensioner Concession Card claiming I am buying it for my old grandma? She can't walk easily no more so I decided to help her :)

  • Popo on 06/08/2018 - 12:44

    There is now only 1 TV and retail price went up since 2016. Retail of $499 for a cheap brand 40" FHD? Feel bad the govt is being ripped off so will avoid the deal. E.g. Kogan has $379 for 4K 43"
    Will wait for the 65" deal from Catch.com to return.

      Is there still someone out there that watches tv on a Cathode Ray Tube ?

      • mubd1234 on 04/12/2018 - 21:39

        Yes, I have quite the collection of them.

        Does this mean I can get 7 LCD TVs on my dad's concession card?

      • tunzafun001 on 04/12/2018 - 21:51

        Yep. Aussie rules footy on free to air looked terrible on a modern TV due to low def cameras. Kept the CRT for footy.

        • Fuchal on 04/12/2018 - 21:54

          What does that even mean? Were you watching standard definition broadcasts from the late 90s/early 00s.

          • tunzafun001 on 04/12/2018 - 22:04

            @Fuchal: Yes and no… Afl still broadcast standard def games in 2017! The first HD game didnt happen until 2015. Modern TVs produced big blocky fill-in pixels ..I don't know how people could watch it. But as you point out,I guess watching old games not remastered, the CRT would still have its place.

    • billybob2015 on 04/12/2018 - 20:59

      only 1 tv

          No idea. I know what your getting at. It’s power hungry.

        • UFO on 05/12/2018 - 16:00

          Not enough for me to throw away a perfectly good 50" flat screen!

      This totally isn't going to encourage people to go dumpster diving for old TV's and fridges so they can get a nice new appliance subsidized by the government ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      What a joke, I just checked out the range on offer:

      https://appliance.environment.nsw.gov.au/Home/Products

      18 Fridges (differing brands, reasonable selection), and ONE crappy TCL 40" TV with a rec retail of $495!

      We did not want to give up our old Fridg (it is still a good almost new fridg), so we found a free one on FB and will be trading that one in for the new one. Keeping the old one in the garage for bulk goods and Beer!!!

      • squaredonut on 04/12/2018 - 21:27

        That's what I was going to ask, is it compulsory for them to take away the old one lol

      • shole on 04/12/2018 - 21:28

        you didn't need to give up the fridge
        we got to keep ours after we asked

        Why did this get down voted?

        I agree with the comment. Had a quick price check - LG GB-450UPLX costs $900 from Betta and BingLee before any type of discount (bulk like will likely bring this lower), whilst the site charges $600.

        So, the seller/distributor is pocketing 1099-600= $400 as they are charging the ticket price with difference subsidised. looks like a profitable business to me. No wonder government contracts are some of the most lucrative.

        There are better way to spend my tax contribution.
