This deal is on the Samsung education Store. To get the price listed you MUST trade in a device.

You also have to stack it with a $50 promo code.

I believe you can also save an additional $40 from Cash rewards.( I didn't include this in the price)

If you want to get this deal without trading in a phone it is possible to not send anything to them but you will be charged either $30 or $60 for a late/non-return fee, so account that in the purchase price.

This deal is also available for the higher storage models, but not sure about what the final prices come out to be.

          WSU doesn't allow alumni email access, mind you if you go to order a transcript and know their students ID number, you can order their entire transcript without any verification of ID, just a simple ([email protected]) is enough for them to say, oh yeah this must be the person!

          I told them this ages ago, they couldn't care less, and never fixed the security vulnerability.

    Do not send a working phone. Dealing with Asurion is a nightmare. My son and I have been charged $180 in late fees. One of the phones has disappeared the other phones now graded as non working when they were in great condition. You have no come back. Auspost tracking say phones arrive but they don't appear in their system till 5 days later if you are lucky. There is no email, no phone number to contact them, Asurion do not respond to the conversation requests. Samsung are useless as well , Asurion does not respond to Asurions request for info. Do yourself a favour and read all the reviews for Asurion you can find them on product review.com.au whirlpool forum ozbargain forum and the best one the Samsung members where disgruntled customers want to start a class action.

            • woyoyondie on 05/03/2024 - 22:42

              @bonezAU: Yes, have a dispute lodged with bank for late fees and the $290 phone valuation. Sent an email to ACA, and will be doing ACCC and Fair Trading as have countless others as well. Have read that lots of other disgruntled customers have disputed the credit card charges but it doesn't seem to changed the way they do business.

      • shelly95 on 06/03/2024 - 16:10

        Did you get your charge back??

        • woyoyondie on 12/03/2024 - 22:06

          Put in two disputes, $60 and $290. The $60 is being persued by the bank, waiting to hear about $290. Basically Asurion by having the phone delivered by Auspost tracking and not logging in their system for a week and then charging a late fee shot themselves in the foot. Regrading the phone to non working after they have lost it for a week means they have no credibility because I'm no longer responsible for it.

          The other $120 in late fees is supposedly being refunded to my son, we'll see how long that takes. He has also been paid out the correct amounts for the trade ins.

          So its really hit and miss.

      I think it's very hit or miss depending on how busy they are. Sent 2 phones back in October half-expecting some kind of issue like you mentioned but everything went smoothly. I had taken pics and videos of the working phones being packaged and sealed in the package as well just in case.

    • Carbon Door on 05/03/2024 - 12:28

      It took about 1.5 months to get a refund but my phone was deemed satisfactory.

      • tkboi on 05/03/2024 - 13:07

        my recent experience was also horrid experience with Asurion as well, seems like people have the same experience over at whrilpool as well.

        guess its a hit and miss cos the first time i did it with them it was smooth

      I traded in with Asurion during the pre-order deals in the edu store for the S24 Ultra. ( I think I paid $550 + trade in). I kept getting warning messages for not sending the phone in on time even though Auspost tracking said it was delivered. Took close to a week for them to realise the phone was delivered, but luckily I did get the full refund within the next week.

    • GachaGamer on 05/03/2024 - 15:23
      +3

      Yep, my suggestion for anyone looking to do this deal, is to record yourself with said phone working, then proceed to take pictures of its condition and save it somewhere. My previous trade-in with Asurion, was rejected by them, and I had to contact Samsung support with evidence of my phone's condition and evidence that it was working and AS DESCRIBED, Samsung support then agreed that my trade-in was as described, and gave me a reference for said chat with support that I could forward to Asurion, telling me that I should email them and escalate it.

      A few hours after it was sent, I received an email from them saying that they would now accept my trade-in, and that my held funds would be refunded within 2 weeks (it took 3). So yea, make sure you have evidence so that they can't claim otherwise and reject to accept your trade-in.

      • hamwhisperer on 05/03/2024 - 22:20

        I'm tempted to sign up and do this but I'm about to go on holiday, so the new phone MIGHT get delivered while I'm away and I am then not home in time to mail off the trade in.

        Argh

      • joehuynh on 06/03/2024 - 13:14

        I also having issue with them, after a month, they told me my phone is not in working condition and refund me with $5. I tried to contact them via the portal but seem nothing happen, no respond from them for awhile. Thanks for your suggestion, I am contacting Samsung for now. I am sure that the phone is in working condition, they were able to upload the device photos in the portal. It is so annoying

        • woyoyondie on 14/03/2024 - 16:30

          Is there a discrepany between the delivery date from Auspost delivering to Asurion and Asurion logging it into their system? If there is you can say Asurion lost your phone for X days and you are not responsible for the condition it is now in because they lost it. Do a dispute through your bank's card dispute section. Take plenty of screen shots, spell it out to bank with a delivery and communication timeline as to which screen shot applies. Include links to all forums that are negging Asurion, Whirlpool, productreview, samung members, include the Asurion website link which show no phone number or email provided. Explain how you dealt with Samsung in good faith and that the Asurion website uses Samsung logo and is misleading and you thought you were dealing with Samsung etc. Should be successful in getting your $$$ back.

      • hamwhisperer on 13/03/2024 - 11:12

        Hey GachaGamer - can you tell me who you spoke to at Samsung (or at least, phone number, chat? etc?) I want to prepare to deal with Asurion to make it smooth as I can.

        Expecting them to be a problem - luckily I took HEAPS of footage.

        • GachaGamer on 14/03/2024 - 08:21

          Just online chat support should suffice (It's what I used) - If you aren't lucky with the first support person you speak to, wait a bit and try again (I managed to do it through the first support person). Other then that, make sure to save the chat transcript if it goes well for you, and good luck with the trade in. Just note that Samsung themselves shouldn't be the one's who will raise the issue if Asurion screws you over, so you'll have to email them yourself if it happens, in my case I sent them an email with the headline about the issue, including my trade-in ID and my IMEI.

      • arcticmonkey on 05/03/2024 - 12:31

        This is not the pre order deal. It was at least $100 cheaper with free 1 year Samsung care in previous weeks on the education portal.

        If people want to pay this amount, fine by me.

        • adu25 on 05/03/2024 - 12:37

          I'm talking about the cheaper deal you mention, which was around 1.2-1.3k + 1yr samsung care + accessories credit. It was on edu portal and partnership portals too.

          Again to address your concern, this is still a deal, don't like it keep scrolling

        • wombat81 on 05/03/2024 - 14:09

  • CustardShot on 05/03/2024 - 12:40

    When not sending in a phone, do you just get charged the late fee but maintain the value of the trade in that you didn't send?
    I.e: phone trade in worth 200, don't send it, charged 60, netting 140 in your favour?

    • CodeXD on 05/03/2024 - 12:50

      I pre ordered 1TB s24 ultra in late Jan. Titanium grey nothing special. Samsung shop online. Still not delivered although they did split my order and provide a screen protector for a phone I haven't got… not sure how that helps. Avoid Samsung Shop if you can and Asurion well thats even worse. Customer service for both is non existent. Should have brought the iphone. Still hoping order arrives before s25 comes out but not holding breath as its probably been stolen along the way. Korean companies used to have a reputation for great service. Its part of their culture and dna. Very dissapointed with the worst phone purchasing experience ever. It took 1/2 a day just to order the phone with all the coupon stacking and discount hoop jumping magic. Samsung never again.
