Telstra $59/Month 80GB/Month + $400 Store Gift Card (12 Months Contract, Port-in New Service Only) @ The Good Guys/JB Hi-Fi

200

Same deal as yesterday, but now a $400 gift card. Still great for those that missed out (like myself), coming to around $26 p/m. I only discovered yesterdays deal late last night, so rang TGG first thing today. Salesman confirmed it's at all TGG stores. Runs only for today! I have posted this before heading into the store for anyone that might be chasing information.

Also could anyone confirm for me if Gift Cards can be used with a Good Guys Commercial account? Have just moved house and need a fridge, so this works for me (hopefully). Cheers and enjoy!

EDIT: JB-Hifi are also running this deal and it finishes on the 21/03/21

    "Runs only for today"…….until tomorrows deal.

  • Standard price and deal. Was $500 gift card yesterday.

    Ah the daily Telstra / Jb / TGG deal. Bit over seeing them on the front page really.

    • If only there was some sort of system where people could vote for what they wanted to see on the front page and the most popular deals are the ones that make the front page.

        Yeah, a system like that would be great.
        Pity Oz Bargain has no such system.
        Not allowed to downvote unless the down vote it meets incredibly strict criteria.
        Mods will remove such downvotes, so suggesting such an option is available here is flawed.

        • Not allowed to downvote unless the down vote it meets incredibly strict criteria.

          Whilst your comment is unrelated to the one you replied to, FYI you have made 51 negative votes since 2016, moderators have removed 0 of them.


          Guidelines

          When negative votes are revoked:

          The community casts a number of negative comment votes to any comment by the user casting the deal votes.
          A moderator deems your vote to be invalid as it doesn't conform to voting guidelines (see below for a list of inappropriate negative votes that moderators will revoke).
          You are a competitor to the business the deal is for (this will also lead to account and/or store bans).

            @hamza23: That's handy info.
            Might have been downvotes from the community that take the rules as religion.
            Can you pull stats for downvotes retracted by community votes?

            Either way the gist of what i said is correct.
            The site rules have no support for downvoting frivolous deals.
            The only 3 qualifications for downvoting per the site rules are..

            1) The deal is not the cheapest available
            2) Issue with product
            3) Issue with retailer

            So when i said Oz Bargain has no such system for downvoting frivolous deals i was correct.
            And a militant group of the community enforces it if it's not the mods, so much so i just don't bother.

            I wonder how many others just don't bother? I suspect this site is losing useful votes (pos and neg) and commentary from experienced people so as a group of hardcore bargainers can satisfy their addiction of voting away anything negative.

            Neither myself, nor family nor friends can downvote re-occuring junk without getting the downvotes removed somehow.
            So at this point we don't bother posting deals and rarely vote, essentially almost entirely pulling out of the process and community.

            I assume you guys are aware of these over enthusiastic wannabe mods.. Or maybe not?
            I think we have a generation of social media upvote enthusiasts that are truly ruining this site so as they can be on a flowery bandwagon of positivity, at the expense of thos providing wise and well thought out information and criticism.

            A great example is when per the rules i justly downvote Sandisk flash product.
            And even writing a half essay of why and how it meets the rules i still get downvoted to oblivion.
            These situation highlight a truly broken system.
            I've had a >50% failure rate of Sandisk flash, and have great experience telling fakes so it's not that as i so often pre-emptively mention only to still be told i bought fakes.
            At the buy rate and failure rate I've had a neg is truly justified per the site rules, but my negs are removed because they are … unpopular.

            So you might appreciate why I'm sceptical of the rules and voting system.

    Apologies guys, just thought it would be useful for those that missed out on the $500 deal yesterday. I know that I was devastated to find that I missed out, and then glad that this was on today.

    • +1

      If you want the $500 to be every day, don't take up the $400 deal..

  • Or just a $150 a year boost and save $558

    • -1

      Yeah no

      • Pray tell my why not…..?

        • I have a few reasons but tax deduction alone puts these plans way ahead of the boost plans.

          • @[Deactivated]: How is it a better tax deduction?

            • +1

              @asa79: In my situation, if I bought this plan, I would be able to deduct $708 ($59 * 12 months) for mobile expenses as opposed to $150 with boost.

              Telstra:
              $708 @ 30% marginal tax rate = $212 saving
              $708 - $212 - $400 (for the gift card) brings the 12 months down to a theoretical cost of $96.

              Boost:
              $150 @ 30% marginal tax rate = $45 saving
              $150 - $45 brings the 12 months down to a theoretical cost of $105.

              On top of this, you get more perks and features from Telstra that Boost doesn't offer.

              • @[Deactivated]: What perks and features are you talking about?

                • @asa79: My experience with Boost is about 2 years ago so excuse any mistakes I've made but:
                  5G
                  Free calls to certain premium numbers
                  Voice to SMS
                  Call waiting (don't know the actual name but being able to answer an incoming call by putting your current call on hold)

                  • @[Deactivated]: Who rings premium numbers unless you talking the adult ones.
                    Call waiting is there
                    Not sure of benefit of 5g over 4g yet but guess if you must have it

                • @asa79: Can you get $5 kayo through Boost?

              • @[Deactivated]: But still 30% not like you saving anything more then what you already outlaying

                • @asa79: 30% is just an example, a lot of people will be above that. You're definitely saving more once it's returned in your tax return. Think of it like Cashrewards, you spend now but then get some $ back at a later date. It's still a saving.

              • @[Deactivated]: If you got the $500 gift card, you be getting paid to have the Telstra plan
                $708 - $212 - $500 = $4 profit! :)

        • It's not 150 anymore? Or did they bring it back? Genuinely interested, the old man's plan expires on Anzac Day and was gonna stick with Boost but heard they upped the cost and started sussing phone deals for the first time in like 15 years.

          • @TheDukeOfNukem: Renewed directly via Boost in Jan for $150 for 80GB plus 40GB bonus. Certainly a difference between 80GB a month but honestly can’t see how anybody can use that amount……or maybe it’s bragging rights I get 80GB a month, but only use 5GB of it :)

          • @TheDukeOfNukem: The yearly boost has always been $150, unless you get the discounted one that is sometimes $135

  • +4

    Won't settle for anything less than $500 and $59/month.

  • +2

    coming to around $26 p/m

    No, common misconception. You pay $59 a month.

    • -1

      Yeah no

    • Not if you sell the $500 gift card for $450. Or even better to a family or friend for $500 that is ready to spend at JB anyways.

  • Nothing beats the jb deal where it was $65/month for 12months and you could choose one gift.. Like an xbox, tv etc. I chose the tv which was worth $720 at the time. Then I spoke with telstra chat who had the $69/month deal discounted to $49/month. So I asked to upgrade to the $69/month deal for the $49/month price.. And managed to get an extra 5gb per month free too (total 65gb/month). Gone are those days though.

  • Is it still possible to get the $10 port-in discount with these deals or have they stopped that?

    • +1

      Yep $10 a month discount

      • Hey Pub Envelope

        How did you get the $10pm port in discount? I used online chat and also went in store to ask about it and both times acted like they'd never heard of that.

        I'm thinking of doing the $69pm with $400 gift card deal and an extra $10pm off would seal the deal. Is there a way to be sure I'll get it before signing up?

        Thanks heaps

        • Maestro, When I signed up for this it was offered as part of the deal. So I'm on the $69/m plan paying $59

  • +1

    And…..you can’t use TGG gift cards on the commercial site….

    • Legend thanks for that info!

  • For those who care:
    - no included international call.
    - international calls cannot be added either.
