Trade-in an iPhone 12, 13 or 14, Get Bonus $250 Gift Card for an iPhone 15 Series Purchase @ Officeworks via Moorup

Original Officeworks Trade-in program post

Steps:
1. Initiate a trade-in request and get the value as Officeworks gift cards today (delivered via Prezzee).
2. Pay for an iPhone 15 in store on Friday, use your trade-in gift cards plus ultimate whatever, as many as you want (no limit at Officeworks).
3. Fill the claim form.
4. Get $250 Officeworks gift card.

It only works on Friday because you can only pay for it on Friday in store, when it’s no longer considered ‘preorder’. Gift cards can’t be redeemed online.

Edit: it is only for trading in iPhones 12, 13 and 14. I got $310 for my lovely iPhone 12 mini now plus $250 later. Doubt I could sell it for $560 on the second hand market (maybe in a few years as a vintage tiny phone). Combined with the 15% ultimate gift card deal it’s quite sweet.

Edit 2: if you are really unsure, the 15% off ultimate deal is on until 26th. Monitor this thread and buy the gc only when you have read some confirmed cases here. But you need to do the trade-in request pretty soon because that takes time to process. Cancel the trade-in if this deal is not what we think it is.

Edit 3: my gc arrived a day or so after the trade-in request, it might take some time for yours. It will arrive. Also allow for the possibility of the team being ozbargained.

Edit 21/9/23 11:37: my local OW just called me back and informed me of the stock levels. They don’t have the colour I’m after, so I’ll have to go in and place an order tomorrow using the gift cards.

Edit 22/9/23 11:16: got the phone, submitted the claim and received the receipt for the trade-in bonus. Two things:
1. If you have OnePass but it doesn’t come up automatically after scanning Flybuys, bring up your barcode and scan that too.
2. The Prezzee gc needs to be manually entered into the machine. Find someone who knows how to do it. It can be done.

Final edit:
You can’t place orders on the variant that isn’t available in store. For example, my local only has access to placing orders on the black or blue.
There is a 30 day return policy on tech, OnePass’ one year thing doesn’t apply.

  • dang, I didn’t buy ultimate home this morning

    • +3

      Buy now. I just did

  • +1

    not bad, iphone 14 128GB trade in value $830

    • Where did you find the value?

    • pretty good

      apple trade in for ihphone 14 128GB up to $715

      • +1

        definitely decent, wont get much more than $850 - $900 selling it privately

  • +1

    did they think iphone 15 is not going to sell well? :D offers already coming in.. :P

      • +7

        Ah Fredfloresjr in quickly to defend Apple and start the all important and completely not irrelevant - "Which phone is best?" debate.

      • +3

        Grow up, people stopped doing this in about 2009.

    • It’s a gift card and they want to take your business away from JB. Hardly a huge deal.

  • +3

    If anyone has missed it - bonus only valid for trade in of "iPhone 12, 13 or 14"

  • Good deal. Thanks for sharing op!

  • +16

    If I could get the $250 off the phone it would be good but won't need $250 Officeworks card afterwards, that's a dealbreaker

    • +1

      I guess you can’t easily sell them if they are bound to you Prezzee account. But if you don’t ‘unwrap’ it, can save the link and sell at 85% face value at least?

      • Ok, Ive found something I want from Officeworks with the $250 card and I am all over this. Also signed up for OnePass trial to get 5x FlyBuys to get $50. Bought my 15% off Ultimate Home cards.

        I am also coming from a 12 mini 128GB. Was going to trade the wife's 13 Pro 256GB with Apple and dunno what I was going to do with the 12 mini. Getting $310+$250 for the 12 mini and selling the 13 Pro to pay off the Ultimate cards is best deal :)

        Also buying more Ultimate cards now to go with the $250 card for the future purchase. Winning!

        • +1

          Nicely done! Your spring cleaning is a success this year hahaha

  • Too bad its only for select Iphones.

    • It's for all iPhone 15 models

      • +1

        But all pro max were out of stocks and could not be preordered

  • +13

    so I checked the trade-in value for a 256GB iPhone 14 Pro.

    Apple: $1010

    JB: $1100

    Webuyback: $1170

    Officeworks: 1060 + 250 (in the form of a OW GC) = $1310

    • are you sure 14 pro will get the additional $250 gift card ?

      • +1

        Yes.

        Trade in your old iPhone 12, 13 or 14 Series Smartphone to qualify for the additional Gift Card associated with this promotional offer.

    • +2

      Assuming you have something you want to buy with the officeworks $250.

      • Visa prepaid card?

        • +3

          They wouldn't accept gift card payment to buy another gift card

          • @Sharp: Dam, not like JB where I can buy gc using gc

    • +2

      The office works gift card is something i would be stuck with in the end.
      Otherwise a pretty good deal

    • in my understanding you cant use the gift card to buy iphone 15, you get the gift card after your purchase iphone 15… is that right?

      • +1

        Correct

    • +5

      Yes but the Webuyback you get money in your account, not a ow gift card. You can pay for the full value of the iphone with the 15% off gift card not just the difference. So if buying an iphone 15 pro for $1849 you get $277 discount plus buyback $1170 = $1447 ($402 paid) . OW deal $1849-$1310 giftcard = $539 (15% off this = you paid $458) So $56 worse off! And you have to use that $250 gift card in OW in the future. This deal sucks

  • It’s actually good. Plus get those ultimate gift cards for difference.

  • How about iphone 6?

    • +2

      they pay $10. i checked.

  • +2

    Apple iPhone 13 Pro 128GB
    $740 + $250 bonus
    Should probably wait another year..

    • +2

      Only $20 extra for my 13 Pro 256GB.

      Weak!

  • It's a pity it's only in the form of an OW gift card - My 14 Pro 128gb would get $1020 + $250 credit which is amazing.

    • Yes. What can you do with that $1K with Officeworks…

    • Can you use the $250 bonus gc to purchase the visa prepaid card?

    • You can use the $1020 towards the new iPhone. It’s only the $250 you have to find a new home somehow.

    • +2

      I don’t think Apple will drop prices. In reality new iPhone’s are primarily for people who have 3+ year old mobiles, yearly mobile upgrades aren’t as much of a thing for most people anymore. iPhone or Android.

      • 16 will have a big change, 15 is only a minor update.

        • +9

          They say that every year. Wait for the 17. It's a prime number. It's going to be killer!

        • +9

          I have no idea why people expect to see killer new features in such a mature market. It's like watching the car market and wondering why cars don't fly yet.

      • Last time Apple increased prices mid season was with iPhone 6 due to Aussie dollar tanking. I remember rushing to get an iPhone 6 for my wife just before that.

        Is it wishful thinking if Aussie dollar strengthen significantly they'll drop prices? :P

        • +1

          What’s wishful thinking is expecting the Aussie dollar to strengthen :)

    • -1

      For people with an iPhone 14 Pro, sure. For everyone else there are pretty huge upgrades, notably the 48MP camera and the dynamic island.

    • -3

      Yaa,once they manage sell some to the apple fan boys

  • S**t, i just got the ultimate him gc to buy from JB Hifi. OW seems to be a better deal with tradein :(

    • Same.

      Oh well, we can sell in eBay.

  • Not taking any Max orders.

    • What do you mean? As in can’t purchase 15 pro max on Friday in store?

      • sold out in store.

  • +1

    i wonder if this stack with the 10x fly buys point offers for iphone preorder on friday

  • "Send in your old device before Friday 13th October"

    When do they provide the "free device return" postage label?
    As soon as we completed the trade in request or Officework will supply one after purchasing IPhone 15 models?

    • +1

      I got the label today with the gift cards, requested the trade-in on Saturday. They also said by 27/9/23 in the text, so that might be a little blurry there. Common sense is if you don’t have the device due to stock shortage, they wound extend the window.

      • Cheers for the information.

  • +2

    So I guess me and my iPhone 11 can get cussed

  • +1

    Only if you can buy it on Friday, it is risky.

    • You can place an order in store if they don’t have it. Still counts.

      • Will 15 pro max be available on Friday?

      • Is this confirmed? Like you can still order and it will count? What if it gets delivered after 13th Oct (last day to send in your trade in)

        • It’s conditioned on a ‘purchase’, ie a receipt, not you leaving the store with a device. I’m sure they’ll extend the window for your return if you haven’t physically had the phone by 13/10/23.

      • True, i was refering to Pro Max

  • Sorry, how can I do step 1? (1. Initiate a trade-in request and get the value as Officeworks gift cards today (delivered via Prezzee).

    Thank you.

  • +1

    If I was to buy the gift cards, would it be 15% off the rrp of $1850 or is it 15% off the remaining value after I get the trade in value discounted?

  • +1

    Tried calling up Keysborough Office works. They said can only be done online and only for outright purchases

    • It’s nowhere mentioned in the t&c tho. I sent them an email to confirm.

      • Please let us know when you have a reply from OW.

  • +1

    Ok, GC is on top of trade in value, for a moment I thought that's all you would get. :D

    iPhone 13 128GB is valued at $600, plus $250 GC, $850 is actually on par if not better than selling it privately. Good stuff.

  • +1

    iPhone 12 Pro 256GB is $525 plus a $250 Gift Card.

    The phone is probably worth $850 to sell privately, and the Gift Card looks like it would be issued to use in a later transaction.

    • I got that phone too so better to sell it privately?

      Also who would want to buy an used iPhone 12 Pro 256GB? And where would you sell it? EBay/gumtree?

      • +4

        You can always sell used phones in decent condition, iPhone or otherwise. Question is whether the extra coin is worth dealing with the marketplace and Gumtree idiots.

      • +4

        100% better to sell it privately.

        It’s not hard to sell an iPhone on Scumtree or Facebook Marketplace.

        You may need to deal with one or two idiots, but you’ll get much more than $525

  • Not bad.
    I am offered max $480 for my iPhone 12 to be trade-in at Apple.
    I have to order my iPhone 15 from Apple because I have $1500 Apple balance bought with 15% discount gift cards earlier this year. That's a saving of $225.

  • Seems great. Can I buy Apple gift card by the Officeworks gift card?

    • I believe not

  • Just to clarify: when will I receive the trade-in amount (understand that the $250 extra will come later)? That will be in gift card form (and I can use that when I purchase the iphone in store)?

    • $250 will be provided after your claim with the order number of new iphone15.

    • Trade-In value comes at the time of purchase (edit: actually, you process the trade in and then receive that via gift card today). I'm not sure if you can use that same gift card to reduce the cost of the purchase or if you're then stuck with the trade-in value + $250 on OW gift cards

    • When they accept the trade-in device. It’s as an authorisation on your cc until you send in the device.

  • For the $250 extra trade-in offer, Does Moorup accept PHYSICAL in store receipt details or this is only eligible with online order details (or worse only preorder)
    I don't see any of these info (eligible purchases) on T&C.

    Has this been confirmed?

    • +1

      If it’s not in the t&c, why would it matter? I did email them about it since someone asked, haven’t received any replies. Saved a screenshot of the offer just in case.

      • Cheers, Robert found it. Saving that offer page to be sure.

    • +2

      I believe instore should be valid

      "The Officeworks Order Number can be found on your Officeworks Order Confirmation email, or Transaction Number can be found on your invoice. If you purchased in store please use the receipt number at the bottom of your receipt just below the barcode. "

      this is from the offer page.

      • Thanks!

  • Wondering what benefit is there for OW to "aggressively" promote iPhone 15 trade in?

    They are not in the mobile courier business, and this is a one time purchase. iPhone 15 will be high in demand leading up to Christmas, also they probably don't even made $250 from sell iPhone. Why are they so "generous"?

    • Locks $250 of your spending at officeworks during Xmas is pretty decent? The gc doesn’t arrive until November.

    • Probably they get reimbursed by apple, comes out of extra marketing budget alllocated for the iphone 15(due to it being a tiny update from the 14)
