As per title,
Am planning to get a new phone, and wish to use Amex card to get a screen insurance (only cause I have been cracking them even with screen protector and case / unlucky).
Was wondering if I would still be eiligible for the screen insurance if I pay say 50% of it with gift cards (say like from JbHiFI gift cards earned via Telstra sign up promo) and the balance of it with Amex ?
Cheers
ah bugger! cheers for that!
It does say if you’re paying for the phone monthly through a provider you’re also covered, but that wouldn’t help with the JB Gift Card payment.
yeah true, means i have to sign up to one of those telstra / optus plans.
@georgegates5: No you don't have to signup to any plans,
Everyone is generally better off buying stuff upfront (if they can) at a slight discount than pay later (with unnecessary mobile plans, or higher mobile phone charges)
Logic will say no.
Otherwise some will use 99% giftcard and 1% amex to buy phones.
Not too much of a loss.
If you're getting GCs at a 10% discount, you'd only save 10% of the 50%… I'd suggest that foregoing that savings would be worth it for the insurance
yeah true! looking at the prices of new phone these days and the cost to replace a broken screen… might as well get a new one =_=
I wonder how it works when some amount is payed by like a promo voucher (like eBay 10% off or something).
Gift card ofcourse doesn't work
well i think it be the final amount, judging by how ebay promo voucher works, after keying in the code, you will only pay the final amount.
According to pointhacks, no. They say it needs to be full purchase price.
