Apple, as usual, is running their annual Black Friday event

Works out to be $319 after receiving the gift card, and the gift card can be used on future purchases. You won't need to worry about Apple going insolvent, unlike Deliveroo

Stack with discounted gift cards for even further discounts. Coles currently have 15% off TCN GCs

On top of this, stack with 10% upsized cashback from Cashrewards as well

From @bargainsgrabber's comment: the AirPods Pro 2 should be an all time low after factoring in the bonus apple gift card and cashback

10% Cashback (excl. GST) from Cashrewards should hopefully discount this a further $35 (estimate) and if using 10% off gift cards, you can save another $401

So final cost will be $399 - $40 - $35 = $324 (+ bonus $80 Apple Gift Card on top)

Adding on the $80 bonus gift card from Apple brings the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen down to a whopping $244 using cashback (the lowest ever for the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen), or at the very least $279 without cashback

All time low was $319

Credits to @3235113 for finding the original deals

  1. Purchase $400 Apple GC from Coles to be returned in the form of Flybuys or from BIG W/ Aldi(redeem it at JB for Apple GC) to have 10% off straight discount ↩

      add it to your wallet?

      • HardQuiz on 24/11/2022 - 15:47

        You mean as in Apple Wallet for Apple Pay? So when paying online I just use Apple Pay as if it’s another credit/debit card ?

        • I Smell Pennies on 24/11/2022 - 15:49

          No, like add it to your Apple ID account

          • HardQuiz on 24/11/2022 - 15:56

            @I Smell Pennies: And how do I pay for the AirPods tomorrow?

            Is it adding to the same balance used for buying apps and paying for iCloud ?

            I’m old and confused as hell now.

            • I Smell Pennies on 24/11/2022 - 16:03

              @HardQuiz: Yes! The same balance is used to pay for apps and services. And if it hasn't changed since a few months back when I made my own purchases, it should be eligible for cashback too

        • Koipanda on 24/11/2022 - 19:53

          No, I mean add it to the store wallet. Redeem the gift card into your wallet.

    • chrish on 26/11/2022 - 19:50

      You can either pay direct with the GC or add to your account credit first

  • colt75 on 24/11/2022 - 18:29

    Wonder when cashrewards will announce their cashback rate

    I successfully converted 15% off TCN cards from Coles to Apple GC at JB.

    • patpants8 on 25/11/2022 - 11:23

      hi how do we make the most of the 15% TCN gift cards from coles? they only sell $50 and $100 gift cards. Are we expected to 8 or 4 to accumulate upto $400? If so, how do we then use them to pay for a $400 Apple giftcard ag Jb-hifi? never had experience with these before sorry

      • syswong on 25/11/2022 - 11:27

        I think what her/she is doing is convert the gift card to Apple GC then loaded into your Apple account to buy from Apple store Black Friday sale plus cash reward cash back.

  • I Smell Pennies on 24/11/2022 - 22:29

    Apple Cashback via Cashrewards has been confirmed. Please see deal post here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/740336

  • Chris23 on 24/11/2022 - 23:07

    How will I get the $80 apple gift card when buying through cashrewards, does it get automatically added to my account or do i get an e-gift card of some sort. Also if it is an e-gift card am I able to change this for a physical gift card?

    • I Smell Pennies on 24/11/2022 - 23:33

      The $80 gift card is bundled with the airpods purchase.

      So what you do is use the Cashrewards App, or website, then “click through” to Apple to make your purchase. Apple will give you the Airpods and $80 goft card, and you’ll then receive cashback via Cashrewards after a few days

  • colt75 on 24/11/2022 - 23:39

    Has anyone ever sucessfully double dipped qantas shopping points with cash rewards? or is it one or the other.

  • ldcan on 25/11/2022 - 00:02

    if I buy two airpods, will i get 2x $80 Apple GC?

    • HardQuiz on 25/11/2022 - 00:08

      Buy one get the gift card and then use it to buy the 2nd one.

      • ldcan on 25/11/2022 - 00:16

        but when i buy the 2nd one, will i get another $80 apple giftcard?

        • HardQuiz on 25/11/2022 - 00:17

          Yes. It’s just treated as a new purchase.

          That’s my understanding.

    • raykim on 25/11/2022 - 00:31

      Your gift card will be sent to your email address within 24 hours of your purchase being shipped or confirmed for pick-up at an Apple Store.

  • colt75 on 25/11/2022 - 00:18

    Order done! Ended up getting courier delivery for $15, because the next pick up window was tuesday…

    Not sure why they dont let people pick up orders on the weekends or Friday. ridiculous

    • HardQuiz on 25/11/2022 - 00:36

      Why delivery fee ?

      I placed an order and it was free delivery.

      • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 00:40

        Yeah delivery is free (standard delivery)

        • HardQuiz on 25/11/2022 - 00:43

          So the $15 courier fee is for expedited delivery?

      • colt75 on 25/11/2022 - 01:22

        $15 Delivery is for same day delivery within a 3 hour window.

        As mentioned, the next pick up slot available was tuesday next week, and it would of cost me $10 in parking fees anyway.

        So i figured id just get same day delivery for $5 more.

        The stsndard delivery was one week away, too long

    • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 00:57

      Mine had pickup windows starting tomorrow throughout the weekend too. Maybe your store is out of stock?

      • colt75 on 25/11/2022 - 01:30

        Both my apple stores were the same. weird. it had to have stock cos theyre deliver it from there tomorrow

    • Boscom123 on 25/11/2022 - 10:25

      I just purchased for pick up today. 1st pick up slot at 12pm.

    • chrish on 26/11/2022 - 19:51

      I ordered for free delivery on Tuesday and it arrived today!

  • raykim on 25/11/2022 - 00:33

    Ordered 2 at once. Pick up Friday afternoon at Apple Hornsby.

    • raykim on 25/11/2022 - 08:36

      Received 2 x$80 GC in the morning prior to pick up :)

  • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 00:55

    Just ordered two for standard delivery :)

  • Tevada on 25/11/2022 - 01:29

    For those ordered, how long until the gift card was sent to you? Mine seems to have some issue.

      I ordered 12:30am, shipped 5:15am, gift card sent 6:05am

  • syswong on 25/11/2022 - 03:24

    Correct me if I am wrorng….

    With Ultimate card in Aldi which can be use to buy Apple gift card in JB to load into Apple account, plus the 10% cash back from Cash Rewards, you are only paying $359.1 - $80 Bonus Gift card - $39.99 cash back, the bill comes to $239.2, even cheaper if you can find the 15% off TCN from Coles.

    • hnxhyz on 25/11/2022 - 06:08

      Cashback is not $39.99, 10% after gst

  • cerealsmok3r on 25/11/2022 - 06:28

    holy shit this basically makes the macbook pro closer to like 40~50% off if bought together

    edit: thanks for sharing op :D

  • Jtrulz on 25/11/2022 - 06:28

    This comment section is intense.. so the go is;
    1. Go coles and get $400 worth of jb gift card
    2. Go to jb and get $400 worth of apple gift card with the coles/jb gift card
    3. Apply the gift card to apple and purchase with cashreward?
    Is that right? First time dealing with any of these

    • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 09:24

      yup

    • colt75 on 25/11/2022 - 18:37

      Does coles have a special on jb gift cards atm?

      • Jtrulz on 25/11/2022 - 19:54

        They do, they’re really hard to find, everyone’s after them. Was told they might have stock at random points during to week so just keep an eye out.

    • colt75 on 26/11/2022 - 11:37

      Since when can you buy gift cards with gift cards?

      I thought you weren't allowed to do that?

      • Jtrulz on 26/11/2022 - 18:21

        I had no problem, felt a little bad making them swipe 5 cards but they seemed happy to do it. Granted it was early and before it got hectic.

    Thanks OP
    1. Bought $400 GC via NRMA (5% discount)
    2. Applied Cashrewards 10% (used them for the first time, got signup offer $10 credit)
    3. $80 GC from Apple Black Friday (will add to my apple account to pay for kid’s subscriptions and monthly icloud)
    No maximum discount possible (Coles cards), but super happy with the final price/value

    • sominaik on 25/11/2022 - 19:18

      Hi,

      What was the denomination of the card (s), 400 for a single card or 100 each?

  • raz0r11 on 25/11/2022 - 06:45

    How do I apply the gift card online?

  • raz0r11 on 25/11/2022 - 07:08
    -1

    You would need to buy two though.

    So one for the gift card. Use gift card to buy another. Then return the original.

    Actually that doesn’t work either, so confused bahahaha

  • raz0r11 on 25/11/2022 - 09:18

    Not sure why I got voted down just checked with Apple.m online. You can’t do it.

  • raz0r11 on 25/11/2022 - 09:22

    Nope my original post is only way to do it.

  • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 09:22

    You get two invoices. One for the Airpods at $319, and one for the gift card at $80

    • HardQuiz on 25/11/2022 - 09:27

      Means less chance of cashback on the GC component of the order.

      • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 10:32

        My gut still points to cashback being based on the full amount (less GST). We'll see :)

    • BargainBenno on 01/12/2022 - 23:14

      So if you return the airpods you only get $319 back. The gift card is not returnable.

  • Skinnydog on 25/11/2022 - 10:02

    Just ordered one airpods pro 2 for 259 under deals on ebay plus

    • syswong on 25/11/2022 - 10:30

      This one you don't have to fight for it and can be cheaper than the ebay deal

      • macky123 on 25/11/2022 - 10:42

        plus I can do TRS, another 10% off the RPP =)

        • yanlianglee on 25/11/2022 - 11:35

          @macky123 Do you know whether we can use the electronic invoice from Apple (with name and address) to claim TRS, without a physical receipt?

        • syswong on 25/11/2022 - 11:57
          -1

          Yes thanks to the Wu Han virus, totally forgot about TRS.

          Think I may wait for Christmas sale to have the invoice goes into the 60 days bracket. Sure Apple / or some retailer will do some deal.

  • Bacons on 25/11/2022 - 11:03

    Cashback tracks to member accounts between 2-7 days after you receive confirmation from Apple that the product has been shipped.

    does this mean the cashrewards are only available for shipping and not C&C? I'm probably overthinking it

    • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 11:12

      No, it's available for C&C as well (I did it before). In fact, if you're C&C sometimes it could be faster at times

  • Enfield1212 on 25/11/2022 - 12:44

    Slightly off topic - I have a mate travelling to NZ and if I get this deal through him would the tax refund at airport be on $400 or $320? Seing as this a gift card would they process a tax refund on it?

    Other option is price match at office works with Costco and then trs refund for gen 2 AirPods Pro. I assume this can be done in store at office works?

  • Gambo on 25/11/2022 - 12:51

  • SimmoAus05 on 25/11/2022 - 19:53

    Question for someone who has purchased, can I ask what the invoice itemization is? Do you get an invoice for 1x $399 or $319 and $80?

    • HardQuiz on 25/11/2022 - 20:18

      2 invoices.

      One invoice for the AirPods $319 and another for the $80 GC.

      • BargainBenno on 01/12/2022 - 23:16

        That's because the gift cards is not returnable. If you return you just get $319 back.

    Update: Apple Cashback just tracked for $74 on the dot (I purchased 2 AirPods). $37 for those who got 1 Qty

    Cashback is based on full purchase price of $399 less GST as per my knowledge

    • raykim on 25/11/2022 - 22:10
      +3

      $319/1.1 + $80 GC (gst free) = $370 value purchase

      • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 22:18

        Sounds about right. Glad we got people who can actually do maths for us :)

    • Nick K on 25/11/2022 - 23:04

      what the heck? why is my cashback only $29? It shows as $290 purchase price. On my invoice, I see Value Per Unit (exclude GST) is $362.73, then Extended Value (exclude GST) is $290, but I paid full $399

      • Rakddon on 29/11/2022 - 22:00

        Same

      • I Smell Pennies on 29/11/2022 - 22:01

        That's so weird, maybe ask Apple about this and Cashrewards as well

        • Nick K on 29/11/2022 - 22:28

            • BargainBenno on 01/12/2022 - 23:19

              @ajee123: It amounts should be $319 and $80. The gift cards amount is not refunded if you return the ipods. Easier for them to manage.

              • SignorT on 03/12/2022 - 09:24

                @BargainBenno: @BargainBenno I still reckon it’s annoying/dodgy on their part. I took mine for GST refund at the airport and only got it back on the $319. IMO, the gift card is not a purchase and shouldn’t have a value assigned, I still paid $399 for the product.
