I think this was an oversight from JB Hi Fi when they went early on the Black Friday discount to match Officeworks.

This offer expires midnight tonight (16th November) - get an additional $300 off Pixel 8/8 Pro with trade in.

https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/google-pixel-8-pro-5g-128…

JB offers $1 trade-in for the Galaxy Watch 42mm which unlocks the $300 credit offer. You will receive a $1 e-gift card and the $300 credit voucher which you can use to purchase the phone in store or online. Start trade in here: https://jbhifi.squaretradeup.com.au

Post purchasing the phone - Don't send the watch for trade in and cop the $1 fee for not trading in OR contact SquareTrade and tell them you do not want to proceed and they will cancel the trade-in.

Of course you can also trade in any phone/tablet and use the trade-in value of that stacked with the $300 bonus to reduce the price even more.

With the Black Friday price + trade in bonus = approximate 40% off RRP across the entire range.

      No, trade in is managed by SquareTrade and the bonus is offered by JB as a voucher code.

      I've used this service previously and not returned the phones and they have not billed the voucher code or an additional administrative fee like Samsung Trade-Up (Asurion does). Might change after they see this post haha

        I was sure when I looked at it last week there was a notice that deduct the full bonus voucher from your credit card if you don't send in the item, whether or not you have used the voucher. Just tried to look it up again and confirm and all I can find is the old conditions where you only lose the trade in value. Wondering if I imagined it or just misread it.

        they will blacklist you. You can't do a trade-in next time with the same account.

  • Oldgeezer on 16/11/2023 - 08:15
    +21

    Note - doing this may blacklist you from further trade ins with Square Trade Up. I did this and was unable to do another trade in, however I contacted support to say I “forgot” to send it in time. They removed the blacklisting then :)

    • chylee on 16/11/2023 - 08:23
      +9

      Yeah from an earlier thread on pre orders it appears majority of folks who did not send in their trade in devices will be blacklisted. Note you are required to upload and validate your ID during the trade process so the blacklist could be against your legal ID. Something to consider if the future hassle is worth the $300

      • bobokingdom on 16/11/2023 - 09:24
        +20

        Before everyone getting too excited, Oldgeezer and chylee are correct, Square Trade will Blacklisted anyone who didn't send in their trades. They (same as JB) also use the same riskified system (https://www.riskified.com/) to manage fraud. Once marked, you will have a bad time buying / selling from any vendors that also use riskified as their anti-fraud system.

        There is only 1 person in the group claiming you can get them to unblock you. Sure, it can done but it is NOT certain, AND how many times you can risk before you get banned indefinitely.

        If you have a valid trade-in, it is GOOD deal but don't commit fraud. (at least in the eyes of the anti-fraud system)

        • deathjr on 16/11/2023 - 09:43

          Good to know. I don't trade in stuff usually so this doesn't really bother me. If a lot more people do it, it will be harder for them to ban/blacklist imo cause they will also be losing out on potential customers.

            @deathjr: To them, or people who use Riskified fraud detection system, you are NEVER a potential customer. :)

            The key is not whether you can trade-in again with SquareTrade, but any company who used Riskified for their risk management will reject you as a potential customer. And you have no idea who will sign up with this company in the future. It has long term consequences!

            This is a quote from Riskified website:

          Not sure if this was just my experience, but I was not blacklisted, and I didn't send in my trade in last year for the Pixel 7 Pro.

          In my case, I didn't use the trade in value gift card, and I emailed them and canceled the trade in, within the time period.

              This deal is JB Hi-Fi giving a discount, but doing it in a way that gets people engaging in the trade in process, rather than just buying at a discount.

              If cancelling trade ins was a problem, they would have updated the terms and conditions after the numerous other times they have run this deal.

          Yeah I don't get why so many people here are just so willingly OK with committing fraud that will likely bite them in the future.

          There's no such thing as a free lunch and for the couple of people here saying they did this, there are possibly dozens who did it and got a charge or something.

            There is no evidence that anyone has been charged the $300 bonus voucher, not before and certainly not now. Similar deal was available for Pixel 6, several times for Pixel 7, and now Pixel 8. JB also has trade up bonus for Samsung phones, not a single user said they got charged when they cancelled.

          I agree. Our community just goes for it when they see a bargain and neglect to see the consequences. This is perfect timing for me for a new phone so an excuse to buy.

          Still, I think this is a small issue. It's not like getting a credit check.

      I have did the same thing 3 months ago when they offered a similar promo and I just called Square Trade Up and told them I changed my mind and I no longer wanted to send my trade in device. They said all good, my card was charged the value of the trade in, which means we were all done.
      I expect the blacklist is for people who initiated the trade in and then simply vanished - if you call them right away they just cancel the trade in, you don't even have to ask to be removed from blacklist course you were not blacklisted to begin with.

  • ce5himm on 16/11/2023 - 08:17

        Because preorder p8 offer is still $50 cheaper than this deal. Also, if you got this on launch, you've been using it for over 1 months already.

          Tell them you changed your mind after you submitted the trade that you wanted to keep the watch/phone whatever you were going to trade in. You only need to do this if you are blacklisted and want to initiate a trade in the future.

          • Lufiwara on 16/11/2023 - 08:59

            @11112007: Does this also mean if I did decide to trade in my device I would get 300+ the trade value off?

            E.g. trade in value for pixel 6 = 230 so final price of pixel 8 pro would be $988-230 = $758?

    Oh come on! I literally just bought the 8 Pro yesterday and traded in my S22 Ultra, bought it down to $557. Any chance that they would somehow honour or refund the difference if I sent their team a message?

    • bargainshooter on 16/11/2023 - 08:25

      If you got it for $557 how is this a better deal?

      • Zex94 on 16/11/2023 - 08:27
        +1

        As this was priced at $1,098 it would have bought the trade in price to $227 as I purchased the 8 Pro at $1,277

    • 11112007 on 16/11/2023 - 08:27
      +1

      It's $1298 before the $300 trade bonus = $998

      • Zex94 on 16/11/2023 - 08:29
        +1

        Ah, gotcha. I assumed it was 1,098 + Additional $300 trade in bonus. Too many morning coffees clearly on my end.

      • xylarr on 16/11/2023 - 10:00

        So it's $300 off the undiscounted price or the currently discounted price.

        For example, the Pixel 8 Pro 256GB was $1799 and is now $401 off at $1398.
        With the trade in bonus, does this then bring the phone down to $1098, and then do you also get the actual trade in bonus. So for example, my current Pixel 7 is valued at $380. This would bring it down to $718

        i.e. Current price is $1398 - $300 bonus - $380 trade in = $718

        Of course, if I traded in my Pixel 5, it is only worth $50, so that would be $1048

        Risk versus reward. It seems likely that even if there is a better deal later on, it won't be better by much, and there is a higher chance of running into issues with stock levels.

    Awesome thanks, more than happy to trade in a crappy cheap Oppo to get $300 off a Pixel 8. I was just about to buy a Pixel 7 at the same price this week! Legend crazycs
