Note: Mods have marked the post as 'Targeted' because you're technically at the mercy of customer service to get the loyalty discount (which is fair enough) but there's essentially a 100% success rate from what I can gather.

Looks like the deal got extended till 4th May. I've made a new post as previous post didn't include the 10% off details which I've explained below.

Further Stackables

  • $50 Newsletter voucher through here
  • 10% off Loyalty Code by emailing [email protected]. Alternatively call 1300 362 603, select option 9 on first screen, then option 4 on second screen, and explain to the rep that you want the loyalty discount. The loyalty voucher is 10% off the price after trade-in discounts and before the $50 newsletter. Note: As per comments, ask for the 10% loyalty bonus because you're trading in, the 15% bonus will not stack.

As we all know selling our old device on eBay yields much better returns than sending it in for trade-in. However if you do not send in your device, you still get the trade-in bonus, but get charged a non-return fee. This fee is $60 if your device's trade-in value is more than $60, else it's $30. So what we do is we tell the trade-in app our trade-in device has a cracked screen.

Instructions

  1. Download trade up app on your trade-in device, when going through the checks, tell it that the screen is cracked. Depending on the device, it will say the trade-in value is $1. After going through this, you'll get the trade in voucher.
  2. Obtain the newsletter and the loyalty voucher.
  3. Add the phone to cart. The trade-in bonus will not appear until adding item to cart. This is also where you input the loyalty and newsletter voucher.
  4. Buy.
  5. Comment below so I feel better about myself impulse buying an S23 Ultra.

Cost for an S23 128GB: ($1149 device cost [on sale currently] - $400 trade-in bonus) * 0.9 loyalty voucher - $50 newsletter + $30 trade-in device non-return fee

= $654.1

Also remember to fill out the other bargain for getting the free galaxy buds 2 pro even though it's expired. Who knows, maybe they'll honour it regardless.

Enjoy :)

Notes
- As confirmed in comments below, newsletter and loyalty do stack. Just might have to try a few times.
- Use eBay's 'already sold items' filter to gauge how much you can get for your old device, and then sell via eBay. Always express post for a few bucks more, customer will be much happier and less likely to want refunds.
- Do not sell on marketplace, people will lowball and ghost you to death. You will lose braincells in the thousands.

EDIT: Looks like the deal got extended yet again to 14 May. I'm guessing they're moving a lot of stock which is good for them given their horrible quarterly profits.

      Excellent to hear! Don't forget to request the free buds 2 using the jot form even though it's expired.

      Just to be clear for anyone else reading this, you initially pay the $623, and after 2 weeks you pay the non-return fees which is the device trade-in value = $1 and the non-return which is $30, bringing the final price to $654.

      • psychoacid on 03/05/2023 - 15:30

        wizko, just to clarify…so if I do not return my device (value $1 and I probably get higher from selling privately), they will charge me $30?
        What about Samsung? Will they remove the trade-in bonus of $500 by charging it to my credit card since I bought it using my credit card?

        Just confirming after reading this:

        WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T SEND IN MY TRADE IN DEVICE?
        You have 7 days to return your device to Asurion once you receive your new eligible Galaxy device. If you do not return your device within 14 days, you will be automatically charged a Late Return Fee of up to $60, which is non-refundable. The Security Charge will be held until your device is received and graded. bold Samsung may also charge you for any additional bonus credit applied to your order.

        • meong on 03/05/2023 - 15:42

          security charge is only on the trade in value… you would know this as you need to enter your credit card for that towards the end…

          im trading my S20+ 128GB and the security temporary charge is only on $155, not $155 + $400

        • wizko on 03/05/2023 - 15:44

          Asurion is a separate entity who handle the trade-ins. They always charge back the device trade in value + non-return fee. From Ozbargain's anecdotal data, Samsung themselves never charge back the bonus credit.

          Samsung knows how all of this works, they just want to move stock when they have these promotions.

          But could they change their minds? Yeah sure, and Ozbargain would collectivity have heart attacks lol.

          • psychoacid on 03/05/2023 - 16:15

            @wizko: Hmmm….my trade-in value only $1. Selling private probably fetch $100. Now to think whether to return or not to return…….. :p

  • ValouSydney on 03/05/2023 - 14:12

    I'm tempted but selling a Galaxy S21 for $550/$600 is harder than it looks :/

    • wizko on 03/05/2023 - 14:15

      S21s seems to be selling for around $400-500 used on eBay. I'd recommend a scheduling a 3 day auction such that the auction ends during a Sunday evening for the most chance of garnering most bids.

      • Bullion78 on 04/05/2023 - 09:25

        That used to be my strategy selling stuff back in 2005. Not sure that still works?

  • Stoodoo on 03/05/2023 - 14:13

    Wished I had of seen this deal earlier, Tried online chatting for the loyalty discount, was told it's not applicable to the galaxy s23 series (fail). Emailed them and got the same response as yoshi678 did above (fail). Phoned them and after some stuffing around for 15 minutes or so, was told yes, they'll send me the loyalty discount in 2 to 10 days, because they need someone further up the chain to authorise it (fail again, coz offer finishes today). Ahh well, to those who managed to get all the discounts, enjoy.

    • wizko on 03/05/2023 - 14:16

      They weren't particularly cooperative via email for me so I just called them up and they immediately generated the discount. Online chatting they straight up told me they don't deal with discounts.

      • qvinto on 03/05/2023 - 14:22

        What number did you call? thanks

      • qvinto on 03/05/2023 - 14:50

        Tried calling twice and both times they just said to send an email and they insisted they can't do it over the phone. No idea how you managed to get one over the phone

  • fullspend on 03/05/2023 - 14:20

    Has any one tried using a service like Revolut for the trade-in and then keep their balance at $0 so they cant charge you the $30/$60 admin fee?

    Or perhaps your Westpac transaction account that you only have for all the Shopback deals and keep it at $0 (though that one does need to have $2000 in it at least once a month to avoid fees)

    • wizko on 03/05/2023 - 14:21

      Your account will go into negative regardless whether you have overdrafts enabled or not. They're taking your ID down, address, and phone number so better to cop the $30 in the grand scheme of thigns.

        Okay, fair call!

      • lgacb08 on 03/05/2023 - 19:12

        Not true, some debit card will not allow going to negative and yes Asurion doesn't care if it's debit or credit. And no they won't take your id unlike JB hifi.

        • Feeblely on 03/05/2023 - 22:26

          Uhm, they sure took my ID the 3 times I did it. How did you avoid it? Also, Asurion do charge for the trade in value when you apply code on samsung website unless you found a way to get around it

        • winstonst08 on 04/05/2023 - 15:14

          how do you avoid the id check screen? I tried several times and it still asks me for id

  • Bullion78 on 03/05/2023 - 14:22

    Zip account and produce a 1 time use virtual mastercard.

    • fullspend on 03/05/2023 - 14:25

      Yeah you can also do that with Revolut though I suspect the hold that they place on the account will not work with single-use card numbers

      • lgacb08 on 03/05/2023 - 19:13

        If your traded in phone have any value this method won't work because they will straight up taking the value out of the card and only return it to you once they receive the device.

        Any earbuds with a Samsung logo will probably get you more money on ebay/gumtree. Choose "other" earbuds which does not even ask you for the condition of the earbuds and should be fine as long as they are not reported as lost or stolen. I have done it this morning and worked great.

    • LesDon on 03/05/2023 - 18:52

    1. Additional Charges May Apply

    If you do not ship your Trade-In Device to Samsung within fifteen (15) days after the date you receive your New Samsung Product, or, if applicable, a different time period specified for a Promotion, then Samsung will charge you for the full amount of the Trade-In Value that was applied to the purchase of your New Samsung Product (“Non-Return Charge”). If your Trade-In Device does not meet all of the requirements in Section 5, Device Eligibility Requirements, then Samsung will not provide you any trade-in value ($00.00) and will charge you the Trade-In Value that was applied to the purchase of your New Samsung Product (“Device Condition Charge”), unless you request that Samsung return your Trade-In Device as described in Section 7 below. You agree to pay the Non-Return Charge or the Device Condition Charge if either such charge applies. If applicable, you authorize Samsung to charge the Non-Return Charge or the Device Condition Charge to the same credit card or other payment method you used to purchase your New Samsung Product.

      It depends who you get on the other end. For me, when I emailed they asked me for the IMEI of the trade-in phone whereas calling them up just happened to connect me to a rep who just generated it a code for me no questions asked.

    There is some sort of bug in the checkout which removes the $50 newsletter discount regardless of payment method. When I try to reeneter the newsletter code it wont apply the discount. The most annoying part is the trade in code is flagged as used when you get to this point so you have to get another code if you want to start again. Tried it incognito mode as well. I give up.

    • aofangbaike on 03/05/2023 - 22:59

      Use a burner email address in combination with incognito mode to get newsletter voucher, use same burner email address at checkout.

      Edit: make sure you can still access that address in future just in case. So use your Gmail address with an extra full stop in it for example

      • pooran on 04/05/2023 - 08:52

        Thanks but it still didn't work. It's fine up until the payment selection screen and then it removes the $50 voucher. So annoying to go through the Trade in app so many times and cop multiple $1 charges which I know will eventually be refunded but still shyte.

        • truetypezk on 04/05/2023 - 20:46

          Why would you want to change your Samsung account email to match the newsletter? I thought most people would prefer to do it the other way round, just request the coupon with your samsung account email address. Btw it is case sensitive too so make sure when you request the coupon it is all lower cases.

      I got the same, refreshed page and tried again and it worked.

  • keishton on 04/05/2023 - 09:04

    Is it worth trading in my s21ultra or would it be more a side grade than a upgrade? A smaller phone + snapdragon CPU is what is convincing me to jump to this…

    I know this is a S23 thread, however for those with much larger pockets (pun intended) you can get the fold 4 for $1029.

    Cost for the fold 4 is: $1499 device cost [on sale currently] - $350 trade-in bonus - $100 loyalty voucher - $50 newsletter + $30 trade-in device non-return fee

    = $1029

      For Fold4 sale finshed last night

        yes, you are correct. It seems to have finished

  • ValouSydney on 04/05/2023 - 12:48

    Damn it, S23 base model only has the lavender colour left :/

    I'm having no luck obtaining loyalty voucher. 1 x Phone call, 4 X emails. 6 x online chats .

    • ValouSydney on 04/05/2023 - 13:17

      I was with Janine over the phone who gave me the loyalty voucher. Ask for her if you can?

      • OfficerBarbrady on 04/05/2023 - 13:32

        Got there in the end. 2nd time lucky. She waited for me to make the purchase as well. So much pressure. Can't complain for $623.20 though.

        • ValouSydney on 04/05/2023 - 13:36

          Which one did you get, the black one is out of stock :(

          • OfficerBarbrady on 04/05/2023 - 14:41

            @ValouSydney: Lavender is the only one left I believe. You'll never notice what colour it is in a case anyway

    Thanks op, gave up on this deal last night because deal was supposed to finish on the 4th, and I hadn't received my 10% off code. looked on samsung website this morning that the trade in/up is extended until the 14th, and also received my 10% off code this morning, so getting a new ultra for $876.10. Should be a nice upgrade from my s21 5g. Can confirm no issue stacking the newsletter discount as well as trade in and loyalty code.

  • yoshi678 on 04/05/2023 - 15:55

    We don't have that option. There will be offers for Trade-up that you can take advantage with…..

    When I get to the ordering step and enter my trade-in ID I get a message that says "You cannot proceed with Trade-in as the Trade-in ID is invalid" even though the trade-in ID was confirmed via an email from Asurion. Anyone else having a similar issue?
