Bonus $200 JB Hi-Fi gift card on the Telstra $69 plan, that's already available with $300 of JB gift cards.

Brings it to a total of $500 gift card and net of approximately $27.33 a month.

Staff member told me that they weren't allowed to advertise the deal (looking around the store, this was true) because Telstra wanted them to sell more of the $99 plans. Also mentioned that it was available today only (28 June), but he may have just been trying to put the hard sell on me.

Edit:
Seems to be available in all stores. Updating to 30 June based on what people are saying below.

Mod: Some users have reported a $10/month port in credit after some effort/attempts on live chat.

    Does this plan support eSIM? Read that for new Telstra sign ups, they don't let you transfer from physical to eSIM.

    • zzzman on 28/06/2021 - 17:37

      For those wondering, the guy at JB said you can choose physical or eSIM and they’ll set it up in store for you.

      I opted for physical sim as I’ve read that the transfer to another device is a bit difficult and I’m going to upgrade my iPhone in September.

    Can confirm the deal - just got it from JB Hi-Fi Altona HOME. If anyone is going to that store, ask for Michael!! Really friendly and helpful :)

      Same! Got the deal there as well and am trying to merge the two services again (so to keep my current number.) Last year I successfully did this with my wife's phone number 👍🏽

      • redgymhero on 28/06/2021 - 16:50

        You got it at the same store? You must have walked in right after I finished! Because the guy said I was the first, haha. Let me know how you go with merging the two services? That's my plan too. Michael was saying that if they give trouble about it, I may have to port out my number for a month.

  • Shuey on 28/06/2021 - 16:52

    Finally, a decent deal. Ported out for a couple of months to Kogan and Optus while waiting for this.
    Hopefully the $10 p.m port-in bonus would be successful. Any recommended JB Hi-Fi store in the Melbourne CBD?

    Just signed up at JB Oxford St. $500 gift card.

    No $10 port in credit. Can do eSIM but I opted for physical sim.

    Will try live chat and see if I can get the $10 credit.

    Also you can check the balance on the gift card here: https://giftcards.jbhifi.com.au

      Wow…

    • zzzman on 28/06/2021 - 18:02

      On live chat and it’s not looking promising.

      They’re taking forever to respond and their first response is “ your number already active in post paid with JB HI-FI & THE GOOD GUYS MOBILE BYO PLAN $69
      so may I know what is the $10 credit you are referring ?”

      • Bambini88 on 28/06/2021 - 18:09

        Keep us updated bro thx

        • zzzman on 28/06/2021 - 18:10

          Now this:
          “as It's new number bill not yet generated
          if you have subscribed for any offer you'll get credit in bill
          I request kindly wait till bill get generate,

          Apart from this is there anything else I can assist you with today?”

          Definitely not an Aussie rep so I’d try again tomorrow during business hours.

            @zzzman: So this agent came around after I said “ You don’t seem very knowledgable or helpful. I’ll try again some other time. Thanks.”

            Then they went “ Are you referring $10 discount for 12 months? or any particular offer you offered at the time of enrollment , kindly let me know I'll assist.”

            “ Thanks for all the information. I'm going to get this sorted for you. I need a little bit of time to do this but no need to worry as I'll be back after 30mins. If you need to step away for a few minutes, it’s not a problem. Just have your notifications turned on, you will get one as soon as I reply”

            Then came back 15 mins later and confirmed they’ve applied the credit.

            Good luck guys!

        • AssociatedStaary @ JB Hi-Fi on 28/06/2021 - 20:07

          Bonus data should be valid until recontract, so as long as the plan remains unchanged.

            @Staary: Oh really? That's amazing! Thanks for the info :)

  • Lord Fart Bucket on 28/06/2021 - 17:55

    Perfect OP. Ported out to Voda 32 days ago. Was waiting for more than the $300.
    No issue at Parramatta. Only issue with Telstra trying to get this turned into a eSim.

  • DraggyX on 28/06/2021 - 18:07

    Does anyone know whether this plan with "No excess data charges" after data allowance used up?

    • Targaryen on 28/06/2021 - 18:23

      No excess data charge.
      Speed is merely reduced to minimum.

    The first rep didn’t know much and back and forth and slow reply i kinda gave up. But 30mins ago. A new rep came in. Added the first $10 port in credit to my acc. Then onto my wife account boom.

    All done. Both accounts with $10 port in per month. Love it.

    • eltito on 28/06/2021 - 18:56

      What did you mention to the rep? As in, did you say you were advised you’d get a $10 port in credit?

        See my other comments above.

        Some of the things I mentioned

        “Port in credit. I have friends who has signed up with this plan before and they received a port in credit for porting their number from another provider to Telstra.”

        “ You don’t seem very knowledgable or helpful. I’ll try again some other time. Thanks.”

    • ozbagends on 28/06/2021 - 19:12

    Just an FYI, I had an extremely unhelpful "expert" first up. went through the process for about 2 hours. He spoke to the credit team and said no. He then offered to escalate to the complaints team. I disconnected the chat.

    I then tried again. Received a new expert (no name). Within 10 minutes:

    "I have confirmed that you have ported in your service under the JB Hi-Fi & The Good Guys Mobile BYO Plan $69. With this, you are eligible to get $10 monthly credit for 12 months. Let me add the credit on your account.

    To proceed, we're currently strengthening the security of accessing your account and will need to complete a quick authentication.

  • RandomEnjoyer on 29/06/2021 - 01:14

    Be careful of JB and good guys plans! These are lock in contracts and ETCs are non waivable

    • hypie on 16/07/2021 - 08:52

      Yes it's a 12 month contract… which is why you get the gift card.

  • cent88 on 29/06/2021 - 02:18

    Year after year JB is inflating their deals by offloading their gift card vouchers and increasing the price.

    2 years ago it was $300 on $49pm plan for 12m
    Now it's $500 on $69pm and $700 on $99pm giving ppl value that they don't even need.

    This is really not a great deal unless if you need that much data. As previous poster mentioned, there are alternatives such as boost.

    • bumluffa on 29/06/2021 - 03:08

      But you can stack multiple gift cards and buy a brand new phone next year with 3 gift cards for $0 out of pocket? So it's literally free money?

    • LeoDMD on 29/06/2021 - 09:48

      In the past, yes. Telstra had deals whereby if you was a post paid member you could get Kayo/Binge etc for a discount for a certain period. In saying that, I was with Telstra last year and when I was with Boost after that - I still had access to some of these discounts.

    Ported my number last night (pending) and applied a $10 credit for 6 months. Still waiting on the port to occur. Hopefully won’t take too long. Thanks OP.

      So I was going to go in yesterday to get the deal, but held off until today when I had time - as the guy mentioned it was available until tomorrow. I just called the local JB and they confirmed it's been changed. The guy said he can't honour it even though I was told yesterday it's available until 30th June - unfortunately it's a head office thing.

      I don't blame him at all - but f JB head office.
