Hi all. Just changed my 24 month Telstra contract to a BYO phone; month to month contract and saw they are offering 20,000 bonus Telstra Plus bonus points on top of the existing bonus points.

E.g. Medium ($60) plan offers 40,000 Telstra Plus points, plus an additional 20,000 bonus points for a total of 60,000. Which could get you 8 google nest minis (with current discount) or a pair of Galaxy Buds if they were in stock.

Note: This is a no lock in contract, so you are not locked in for more than one month.

More information/terms and conditions in the following links:

Mod Note: Offer extended to 30th March 2020

    Yeah, but then you're paying $60 for an average phone plan in 2020…

    • umadbrahhhh on 15/01/2020 - 10:27
      +3

      it's month to month, of course you'd move on once you get your points

      • ykwon10 on 15/01/2020 - 10:29

        up to 30 days to get the points so worse case scenario two months on the plan.

      • tromboc on 15/01/2020 - 11:36

        Fair enough. That is provided there is anything worth redeeming with those points you've now paid good money for, of course…

  • Martop on 15/01/2020 - 10:25

    5G network access free trial

    until 30 June 2020, then opt in for $15/month

    Say what !!!!!!…. That's for the small or medium.

    • rookie317 on 15/01/2020 - 10:43
      +2

      Yeah it's a hefty premium for 5G access, might as well go with the bigger plans which have that included.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2020 - 11:16
        +5

        That's exactly what they want you to do.

      • db87 on 15/01/2020 - 13:44

        I still don't understand this. I read something similar after they started to roll out 5g and I bought my Note 10+ and I can confirm! I haven't opted into anything and I already receive 5g on my phone and I've speed tested to confirm - IT'S QUICK!

        I can only assume my 12m plan must already include it. shrugs

        • Agarwal on 15/01/2020 - 18:53

          I think it's free for everyone up until July or something, I am sure I read that when it first launched.

        • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 15/01/2020 - 19:37

          You get 5G included until June 2020 then you have to pay $15 a month to get it.

        • 2023 on 16/01/2020 - 19:21

          How's the cancers?

    • AustriaBargain on 15/01/2020 - 18:55

      It runs out just in time for Apple to launch their first 5g devices in September.

  • asa79 on 15/01/2020 - 10:36

    Not really worth the point for paying inflated prices tho

    • ykwon10 on 15/01/2020 - 10:45

      Assuming you go for $60 plan for 2 months = $120 and you get 60,000 points. With 60,000 points you are able to redeem 2 Harman Kardon Neo Speakers which is selling for $140-$150 each online. I don't understand your logic on how this is not worth it. Not to mention, you get to use a phone plan for 2 months on top of the 2 speakers.

        • ykwon10 on 15/01/2020 - 10:47

          Read the title mate and the link. Its a month to month plan!

          This is month to month. You are not locked in anything.

      • asa79 on 15/01/2020 - 10:47
        -3

        Who would pay$140 for those speakers tho

        • ykwon10 on 15/01/2020 - 10:48

          I am not asking anyone to pay $140 for the speaker. I am stating the facts here which it is being sold at $140 at present.

      • Associatedilostnemo @ Telstra on 15/01/2020 - 10:49
        +1

        The month to month plans are pro rata. So if it’s up to 30 days you’d be paying 1 month maximum.

        • ykwon10 on 15/01/2020 - 10:50

          Makes it even more lucrative then…

    • AustriaBargain on 15/01/2020 - 19:53

      Good deal if you were about to start a new plan anyway.

  • pinkfong on 15/01/2020 - 10:45

    Not sure if this can be combine with the $10 discount bonus code ONLINE10MOBILE24

      Seems to allow it to be added.

        The code worked for me but when i submitted it, my order failed.

  • abc12345 on 15/01/2020 - 10:49

    I'm on a couple of the JB contracts ending in June.

      Try it and let us know…

      • Asadjaral on 15/01/2020 - 19:47

        My contract finishes in 2 months. Just got on live chat and paid the cancellation fee and switched to month to month after confirmation that i will receive 60k points even being an existing customer. Its advance billing so ull have to pay 60 upfront once established.

        Edit. I was told in chat that deal will finish by 20th unless cancelled earlier.

        • NoDiggerty on 15/01/2020 - 22:38

          Of Jan? It says Feb 17 in Ts & Cs.

    • 2023 on 28/01/2020 - 15:23

      I'm (was) on the Jb HiFi plan till Oct.
      Out of curiosity I jumped on the telstra Site, found an 'upgrade my plan' option that allowed me to switch to the $60 M2M telstra plan with the bonus 60k points, but the 'one off' fee listed $0.
      I received my final Jb HiFi plan bill and it was all of $2 (just paid a bill by direct debit for which I got 50k points).

      All seems sweet, no ETC.

      • rmk on 28/01/2020 - 20:01

        Interested to know if you actually get the 60,000 points as another poster said they were told it didn’t apply for when changing from JB to Telstra.

        • 2023 on 28/01/2020 - 23:06

          Should do, as one of the emails sent to me while processing my order lists

          Your discounts
          * Bonus 40k Telstra Plus points
          * Bonus 20k Telstra Plus points
          * Total discounts over the 1 month term $0

          A progress report of my order is:

          Add 5G Network Access
          Add Mobile Plan Medium
          Add Mobile Plans 06-2019
          Add Modify Order Indicator

          Not sure what the
          * Remove mass market offers
          Is though, but have the other email and screenshot of the bonus points offer screen to back me up.

  • Pecan on 15/01/2020 - 10:56

    There was a similar offer towards the backend of last year (not quite as many points, I think it was only 5000). Took up the offer and two billing cycles later I am yet to receive them.

    • nstyle on 15/01/2020 - 12:09

      Yeah I'm the same. Chased it up twice and still nothing. I even had an e-mail telling me they'd been credited to my account

    • huntress_love on 15/01/2020 - 13:35

      I asked chat, they said you don't get the bonus points for switching. It's only for new services.

      • NoDiggerty on 15/01/2020 - 22:39

        What do u mean switching? From another Telstra plan or different provider?

  • scuderiarmani on 15/01/2020 - 11:12

    Interesting offer, got two numbers on my family plan due to finish up in March.

    So no need to port them out?

    • Associatedilostnemo @ Telstra on 15/01/2020 - 11:14

      Op didn’t port out.

    +10K Telstra Plus Loyalty at Launch

    =130K for $80

    =Airpods Pro for $80

    Good deal?

    EDIT: EVEN CHEAPER! They will give you a $30 credit on the $80 plan (for first three months). So this means 70,000 points for $50 if you do it for one month. Confirmed via live chat.

    • B Wat on 15/01/2020 - 11:22

      How’s that work? Automatically when sign up? Or need to ask on chat?

      • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 16/01/2020 - 08:55

        They told me it will stack but there is no guarantee I’ll get an invite as it’s up to “the system” wether I get one.

    • evatron on 15/01/2020 - 11:28

      where is the 50k DD setup offer? Thanks

    • damienpang on 15/01/2020 - 11:45

      did their Live chat confirm the DD offer to be applicable to new numbers?

      • izequel on 15/01/2020 - 11:53

        not to me - but worth asking.

      • tokyocalling on 17/01/2020 - 00:51

        First time I asked live chat they said they weren't aware of any 50K offer for DD. Second time I tried live chat they told me I would get the 50K points for DD (porting from Vodafone). Not sure if this is applicable to all new services, but worth asking to confirm in writing.

    • dwhes on 15/01/2020 - 12:08

          Awesome going on chat now. Will do exactly the same to get airpods pro for $50 effectively. Or worst case $100 if it takes over a month for them to credit. I’ve already got 60,000 points in my account.

    • joshyy94 on 15/01/2020 - 13:46

      no idea how you got that offer i asked and they gave me $10 a month for 6 months which is not too bad i guess

      • steve84 on 15/01/2020 - 15:42

        Was that just in the past few days? I was told the $30 credit a month was for new customers only, and the $10 a month offer expired Dec 24th 2019

    • ShaGun on 15/01/2020 - 13:54

      can you explain what +10K Telstra Plus Loyalty at Launch is?

      • tagin on 15/01/2020 - 14:01

        i just did live chat and they said their system is down and they can't do any orders atm.

      • izequel on 15/01/2020 - 15:02

        When they launced Telstra Plus I believe existing accounts got 10K points as a welcome - something to that effect.

      +10K Telstra Plus Loyalty at Launch

      I believe what you mean to say is 1K-10K points, depending on how long you've been with them and how much you've spent.

      Edit found source:

      1000 points for members with less than 5 years continuous tenure with Telstra, 10000 for members with more than 5 years continuous tenure with Telstra

      Have chatted with telstra, credit check is standard process for any plan, and it will slightly affect your credit score.

    • digitalane on 15/01/2020 - 14:10

    Excludes existing customers that have Telstra Plus?

    • 83ams on 15/01/2020 - 13:51

      I interpret it that you need to join Telstra Plus within 30-days of purchasing the plan to get the points (if you’re not already a Telstra Plus member).

    • ultra64 on 15/01/2020 - 15:52

      I got the same $30 offer. I was switching from Prepaid Telstra to postpaid though.

      Part of my chat:

      As you are switching from prepaid to postpaid, you are eligible to the $30 discount per month for 3 months. This is if you take Medium Mobile Plan and up.

    Good offer, but if you're on a better deal don't be tempted to move, they are just trying to get you to move off legacy plans.

    Im on $39/mo for 30GB BYO. I haven't found Telstra offer a better offer for me yet (note I'm a heavy user but I barely use a third of that data limit given the wifi everywhere). I ain't shifting until they try and make me.

  • bajirao on 15/01/2020 - 20:25

    Have they told within how many days the points will be credited to Telstra Plus account?
    They are hopelessly slow as if someone is manually adding the points to account. The worst part is the Plus team is backend team so they never talk to customers directly.

    • digitalane on 15/01/2020 - 21:55

      No it won't - mind you I don't think it would work on a month to month anyway - looks like the cash back is for 12/24 month plans - and there's usually a lengthy validation period

      • neo on 16/01/2020 - 08:52

        I can't even see the 12 month Telstra plans, do you have a link?

    • bajirao on 15/01/2020 - 23:22

      Was it new service or porting? Will they ship the SIM card to you?

        New service, shipping the SIM
