Hi guys. "Mr Apple Man" here. Reached out to TA to see if any deals were coming up and he was delightful to share an upcoming Apple cashback deal for Black Friday. Runs for 6 hours only (See below). Enjoy!

Brodens can stack with saved up 10-15% off Gift Cards from ColesWorth for even greater discounts! (remember - Apple allows a maximum of 8 Apple Gift Cards per transaction. You can bypass this by adding the Gift Card to your Apple Account Balance instead. From mine as well as plenty of other OzBargainers' experiences from other posts, cashback will still track if the payment method consists of the Apple Account Balance either fully or partially).

Current Gift Card Promotions (to stack):

  1. 15% off TCN Teen, Kids, Baby, Home, Active, Shop, Choice, Cinema, Pamper + More Gift Cards (Excludes Variable Load) @ Coles

    @WookieMonster (our gift card wiki) might voluntarily hop on the comments to help out on any gift card enquiries - thanks as always :)

This will allow you to buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen with USB-C at Apple Store online for approximately $229.55 after cashback using 15% off gift cards and subtracting the $80 gift card1 - unbeatable all time low!

Promotion Details

Promotion: 8% Cashback at Apple Store & Apple Education Store (Was 1.3%) @ Cashrewards

Promotion date: Friday, 24th November, between 12pm - 6pm AEDT

    That exclusion list is like all the good products. Good if you want a MacBook Air I guess

    Would all the apple watch straps be eligible for cashback, under the accessories tab? https://www.apple.com/au/shop/accessories/all/made-by-apple?…

    Thanks, Apple Man.

    (List updated 21/08/23)

    And that list still holds for the upcoming event?

    Good to see the cap is $150 per member, compared to $40 from ShopBack, though they are offering 10% cashback.

    • I Smell Pennies on 23/11/2023 - 21:30

      Sorry, I’ve fixed it up with the new date. My bad for copy pasting hahahaha.

    • littlesoldier on 23/11/2023 - 21:31
      +1

      thats $40 is just additional bonus for westpac lounge
      I think its likely that shopback will also increase cashback rate for Apple
      meaning you can stack both cashback + using apple credit from discounted TCN GC (buying from JB)

      • G7brg on 23/11/2023 - 23:00

        $40 when using westpac card, so, you can’t stack tcn/Apple gift card ($400 worth costing $340), so, it’s a loss of $20. It’s worth for those who couldn’t get the gift cards.

        • littlesoldier on 23/11/2023 - 23:04
          +1

          Not 100% true, as you can partially pay by giftcard
          in apple during checkout, you can choose how much you want to pay via your account credit
          as long as you pay $1 with westpac card, the whole amount (ex GST) will be counted towards cashback

          SB rep has confirmed partial payment with apple GC / credit is fine, as long as westpac card is charged https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14605555/redir

          • G7brg on 23/11/2023 - 23:43

            @littlesoldier: That’s great. I thought only the amount paid by the card would be eligible

    sorry which gift card from 15% works on apple?

  • lovepub on 23/11/2023 - 21:34

    Anyone got turned down with the JBhifi buying apple gift card using multiple TCN gift card to pay?

    Obviously they know what you trying to do, wouldn’t they reject the transaction ?

    $300 apple gift card means 6 TCN $50 cards. JBhifi cashier staff will be pissed off

    • littlesoldier on 23/11/2023 - 21:36
      +1

      Isn’t that you just use eftpos to pay? Don’t think they will care which card you use to make payment?

      • I Smell Pennies on 23/11/2023 - 21:43

        Yup, I do it all the time, they don’t care. Just tell them you’re doing split payments or multiple payments on the one transaction.

        • DoctorCalculon on 24/11/2023 - 19:33

          Yup, I do it all the time, they don’t care.

          This varies from store to store. Some cashiers will tell you off if they see you using GCs to purchase GCs.

    • shane23 on 23/11/2023 - 23:00

      Yea your not allowed to buy gift cards with gift card I was told by the store manager .

      • I Smell Pennies on 24/11/2023 - 05:30

        The TCN card works via EFTPOS system at the POS. You swipe and pay as if it was a credit card.

      Cashback is eligible on purchases paid with gift cards, and eligible on the purchase of Apple refurbished products.

        But also….

        Cashback is ineligible on the following:

        • Buyer0fBargains on 23/11/2023 - 22:39

          Refurbished is considered a separate category in Apple talk. When any refurbished is excluded, it states it.

    I made a purchase through Cashrewards during the 8% cashback promotion on Easter. I received a response on October 27th stating:
    "Please be informed that Apple has determined that another marketing channel has received a commission. We have made every effort to obtain cashback for your sale; however, Apple has reported that your sale was not attributed to Cashrewards. Consequently, they have declined your transaction for cashback, and their decision is final."
    I lost my $150 cashback.

    • Broos on 23/11/2023 - 23:52

      I’ve had a few of these from Cashrewards. I feel like these cashback apps are a scam.

    • Rebirth on 24/11/2023 - 10:03

      Likewise, I got the same reply from Cashrewards and lost $150. I made the purchase from AOC during the easter promo. Initially they didn't send me the tracking confirmation email as they usually do. After sending the click history screenshot and invoice, the cashback was added as pending and eventually denied in October. I have had success with AOC purchase through Cashrewards in the past but maybe they stopped it. Anyway Cashrewards did give me a $10 for the hassle.

    • p0lar on 24/11/2023 - 18:56

      Same here, never had any luck when cashback amount is greater than $50. I decided to delete my CB account after a recent rejection from them.

    • terroz on 24/11/2023 - 13:33

        You are correct, but for some configurations might work out cheaper.
        I ordered via normal store with gift cards as only $16 more expensive and hopefully I’ll get the cashback.

  • bigriver on 23/11/2023 - 22:04

    • j1568 on 23/11/2023 - 23:03

      You won’t be able to even go through the cashback process if you pricematch, so the answer is no. Pricematch at Apple can only be done over the phone or at the store.

  • kaleidoscope on 23/11/2023 - 23:16

    • lovepub on 24/11/2023 - 09:09

      I think the ShopBack works well for lazy people like me who doesn’t want the hassle with gift card purchasing. Coles probably OOS of TCN anyway.

    Cashrewards didn’t payout for an eligible Apple Store purchase that was tracked successfully and met all criteria during the last BF sale. They seem to be pretty hit and miss. Hit for low value items, miss for high value. YMMV

    • GeneralSkunk on 24/11/2023 - 13:07

      This is dodgy sounding. We really should be approaching CR about it because they are making representations to provide a product (the cash back) and not fulfulling it without any reasonable reason. AFAIK that's not in line with consumer law.

    • Reggie74 on 24/11/2023 - 13:24

      Seems like you’re not the only one it’s happened to. This is disappointing if you’re doing your sums and relying on your cash back as part of your bargain hunting process

      • tharlow on 24/11/2023 - 16:04

        Cashback is just a bonus. The icing on top. The cherry on the cake. Everybody knows that. So if you want the cake, then buy the cake

    I'm new to Apple , buying MacBook for daughter for year 7 , confused between https://www.apple.com/au-hed/store and this AOC store ppl are talking about.

    Does the cashback apply to both education stores?

    Also the fine print says "full & part time students aged 18 or over". Surely most students would be under 18, seems weird for an education store.

    • Reviewer21 on 24/11/2023 - 11:54
      +1

      The gift card is only applicable to Apple store and not to Education or AOC (these two are different where one is for student and other is for employer/employee engagement). I will suggest to use cashback from Cashrewards/Shopback and buy it directly from main Apple store. Combining it with Gift card will make it a good deal.

      The cashback is only applicable to Education store (not to AOC though people in past have suggested it worked few times)

      They never ask for any proof for being an student or age though the condition says so.

      • Gurras on 24/11/2023 - 12:11

        Just the info I wanted thanks

      • roofyapple on 24/11/2023 - 14:47

        How come on the education store it has a banner for the gift card if its not applicable there?
