As spotted in the carousel banner on the JB website, get $1700 off any Google Pixel 9 Pro XL - unsure if you get the pre order bonus ($350 JB gift card) confirmed
As confirmed in the last JB Telstra deal, the cancellation would be $766.59 + $147 Google Pixel 9 Pro XL + $99 for the first month fee = $1012.59 for the newly launched Pixel phone!
This deal is excellent for those who want to take advantage of the $766.59 cancellation fee, or the phone plan being paid by the employer.
What happens say if we back up 1 TB of photos and videos and then after 1 yr don't renew subscription?
Is this 2TB above 15gb for email we get?
Just thinking if I should add the subscription on a new email or existing one?
You'll see red warnings everywhere saying your account storage is full and if you don't bring it below 15GB, you'll stop being able to receiving emails.
Yes. It does come with 1 year free subscription.
Just open Gemini App and go through subscription process. It will automatically show that you are eligible for 12 months free subscription. Just did mine.
Does the Sim plan stay active for the month even if we cancel early?
I asked the JB live chat rep and was informed that the service would be terminated immediately upon cancellation.
Interesting, may be I ll use up the data first and then cancel the service.
Same here
My SIM was dead 30 seconds after they told me they are in process of cancelling.
Went and picked mine order up, the girl have no idea about the 350 gift card, and the other cashier at the counter served another customer who also picked up a 9xl pro did not give him the give card either. Not sure if he bought it thru this deal so i did not intervened. He walked out with only the phone. I had to wait for a manager to come down. So my point is, do not forget to mention your 350 gift card, as some of the JB staff will " forget" as well.
350 gift card is on offer until 25 August so the other guy should have gotten it as well.
I had to ask as well when picking mine up. Cashier had to check current promos etc and called a manager. So some staff are unaware.
Phone collected with $350 GC from Helensvale store.
Coming from a P7P, very happy with upgrade particularly this ripper of a deal.
Interestingly the tax invoice shows retail amount for the device.
@BargainsGrabber hopefully they sort your shit out, if they haven't already.
Glad you enjoyed the upgrade mate!
Hopefully they sort my shit lol
My order was sitting in progress for 2 days and finally got notified it completed, just waiting on the phone itself now.
Seeing this, checked, still in progress 😞
Just open Gemini App and go through subscription process. It will automatically show that you are eligible for 12 months free Gemini Advanced subscription. Just did mine.
I just cancelled but the operator didn't mention a cancellation fee.
Did they mention it for you?
Doesn’t matter they mentioned or not. It will be applied automatically.
For those looking for a tax invoice.
When I picked up, I asked for a tax invoice, and they said it would be sent to me via SMS.
Waited for a few hours, and called the store. They were able to send it to me straightaway (a link), and I could download a PDF file.
It now shows in my JB account under in-store invoices.
For a TRS claim it specifies "get a valid paper tax invoice in English…"
I imagine the PDF is valid, I would just need to print it out.
Can anyone confirm?
I would print it out. But I thought there was a way to submit the claim online prior to getting to the TRS counter.
with name as well.
Yes, just print out your pdf and bring it with you.
I can confirm that this worked for me.
Just called them and the rep sent me an SMS straight away.
Of all the invoices (15) in my JB account only the online purchases have my name (and address) on them. Name on the invoice is the minimum you would need for TRS or tax purposes.
Where do we cancel service in JB hi-fi app or Telstra?
In either JB or Telstra App via chat.
I still have not got any text to pick my phone:(
Called them and they said to wait for text..
Thats what they told me in the morning. I insisted and then they checked and said come its ready. So better go in the store, I am sure it will be available
I went and they gave it.
I'm going to go into JB and do this scam and get my greasy hands on some Pixel ass
Let’s go folks! Finally my order has turned to complete in the JB app
This feels like the best news I heard all day
Now time to make sure that I check if my phone is ready and to get my $350 pre order bonus :D
Head into the store and I am sure your phone will be ready.
@OZBsince2018: I’ve troubled them a lot lately and will let JB redeem themselves by letting them do their part
I shall wait for the SMS for the order to be ready for pickup
Hopefully it’ll be in a few days as my mate will be travelling overseas at the end of Oct
@BargainsGrabber: Not many stores sending SMSs as it seems all manual process. So better call and check if you are now too afraid to show them your face 😅
@OZBsince2018: I just checked on the stock level and there’s still stock for the Canberra City store
Will make them hear my voice again via phone call tomorrow :D
@BargainsGrabber: Just go in. You've done enough waiting.
I got no text, email or call but it was in the cage waiting.
If your store says its in stock on the website, if they haven't done it already, they'll definitely have some to draw from on the spot when you get there. Just be nice.
3 cheers for BG!
Yay for you!!! Good stuff!
Great news!!! Finally
Hopefully you get a little something something for all that trouble
Any suggestion for cases and screen protectors?
JETech Screen Protector for… https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0D9LM386Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_s…
JETech Magnetic Case for Google… https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0D981PPWN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_s…
Using this, and screen protector works perfectly with the finger print sensor
SPIGEN Tough Armor case on Amazon for $39.99, I have used them on all my phones and there fantastic.
Case: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0D8HTB8KP
Screen protector: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0D6F5DRLH
^^^^ +1 to the above. Case fits nice and snug and the screen protector went on easily. I registered my fingerprints after installing the SP and the reader works flawlessly.
Thanks for all links above guys. Gotta decide on one now. Kinda leaning towards a clear case this time, to show the Hazel look of phone lol.
I got this clear Spigen case, quick next business day delivery.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/235695710111?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk…
Did you get clear or black( clear with Black sides)?
The magnetic version of this case is in Amazon.
A bit pricey, but I like the premium look of this case, plus is magsafe compatible plus oficially certified by Google. https://amzn.asia/d/bt319mn
I can vouch for Mous cases, the first brand as my go to for any phone upgrades, followed by Spigen and then Otterbox (don’t quite like their chonky case designs)
$83.40 for the XL clear! Is Amazon the cheapest?
Giftcard rules.
Buy it online - you will receive the gift card in an email.
Buy it instore - you will receive a physical gift card.
MESSAGE for BargainsGrabber.
A big thank you to you for posting this amazing deal. You are a legend! Glad your order has progressed. Well done.
Cheers.
How could you buy this deal online? Had to be in atore only.
I completed my purchase online but in-store if that makes sense. Ol mate sent me an email link with the purchase order to complete so I entered the $1700 gift card etc. He said I'll end up with digital gift card as it will show as online order.
who is ol mate
You could only buy this deal instore.
I posted it as a future reference for other purchases that involves a gift card.
Instore - physical g card
online - electronic g card
Any recommendation for Pixel 9 Pro XL charger? Can I use any any charger for charging the Pixel? Like I have old 40W Huawei fast charger but the output V/A doesn't really match with the Google 45W charger. Will it be ok to use the old charger or will it impact battery health in long term? Thanks
Slow charge is the best way to maintain battery health.
Your Huawei fast charger won't even register that it's connected. No Pixel (6 Pro, 8 Pro and 9 Pro XL) I've had has made any connection with either of my Huawei chargers (ones that came with Mate 10 Pro and P30 Pro), not even slow charging.
@BradH13 Yes you are right, the Pixel 9 doesn't register my old Mate 20 Pro charger even for slow charging I just checked. Any recommendations for a decent charger for Pixel 9 Pro which works with it? I reckon my old iPhone charger will work since I have used it with Pixel 7 but it's maxed at 20W.
I just bought the Google 30w ones years ago, but any charger that is PPS compatible and delivers 30w or more to the USB-C port will do.
Most multi-port chargers are sold as a max wattage for the unit. You need to check what the individual ports can handle.

Good deal for a reputable brand if you have Prime.
Anyone who signed up to the Tink/Google deal - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/855476 - know how the gemini offer interacts with that?
Am I right to think that I should wait for that 6 months to expire before redeeming the gemini free 12 months?
Yes I have taken 6 months plan with tink and trying from a week to unlink tink and Google but no luck. Google service asked me to contact tink and tink won't respond even after sending requests daily.
Why is this now listed as expired? Says $350 gift card pre order offer available until 25/08 and the $1200 for plan offer until 01/09…
Because you can’t get the $1700 off on the $99 plan anymore
Oh right, of course. Cheers….
Because this plan/deal had $1700 GC.
Picked up the phone tonight.
Asked for the receipt for TRS.
Once again thanks BG
Can I ask how do I start a chat in the JB hifi app?
Get Help tab at the bottom > click the message iconography at the bottom right.
Any word on the grapevine about when the Pixel 9 Pro will be ready for preorder (hopefully with a similar deal)?
I'm so disappointed I missed this. Life meant there was no way I could make it to a JB store this week.
EDIT: There's still $1500 off on the $99 plan
The $350 GC bonus is still on as well until 25 Aug
Seems like the $1500 off the $99 plan is not shown on the website anymore
Why not try your luck by dropping into JB this few days?
Assuming you're planning to get the 256GB model, maybe…just maybe, the staff there can help you match it to the 128GB model price. The outcome will be extra $50 vs the expired deal, YMMV but still better than nothing
I didn't understand… Why would they match price for 250gb model to 128gb model price.
@[Deactivated]: It happened to a few lucky ones here during the pre-order where JB staff were happy to offer them a deal (ie, pay for the 128GB model, but get 256GB)
As usual deals like this are hard to come by
Meanwhile, the latest info I found on their website is $1400 off Pixel 9 Pro XL on the $99 plan
Argh really missed the boat this time around
@[Deactivated]: Just yesterday it was $1500 off
I wouldn't be surprised if they fixed the CIS as well

Honestly those who purchased earlier shouldn't be affected
No idea if this true or not
I went out to my local Telstra store for something I needed to sort for my existing service and asked about the 9 pro. They have a google rep who comes by and apparently something with manufacturing issue/delay.
Again, could be true but no idea
Anyone having trouble with Telstra's payment portal? I'm unable to add any alternative cards to pay. Tried 4 so far.
Did everyone receive their gift card on pickup? I was told that my gift card will be emailed to me within 24hrs, but received nothing so far…
Mine was a physical, picked up on arrival.
On pick up. Go back and insist it should be on pick up. They have a code to process it
A physical card was issued on pick up. How did you sign up for the deal? In person? Then you should get a physical card.
If you went to the counter to pay via the PoS terminal after your contract, you get it physical on pickup. They process it as a normal gift card sale and charge it to their Google Promo account.
If your rep sent you an email to put through payment in-store but processed online after your contract, you'll get it in your email.
There are mistakes happening though. The two girls at the counter knew I was owed a gift card but had NFI how to process it and had to ring their manager for help.
I think it's something to do with the pre-orders being processed as Click & Collect and therefore gift cards processed online or something. Would be funny if all those who got physical gift cards also receive digital ones in future.
When I picked up my phone they said it will go to my email because the salesman had me pay online next to him
I never received the email gift card, called up and they said yeah nah they're supposed to give it to you in store, so I went back and spoke to their manager with my best Karen haircut and got the gift card
![[PreOrder] Google Pixel 9 Pro XL 128GB $147 on 24-Month 300GB/M $99/M JB Plan (Port-in/New Customers, In-Store Only) @ JB Hi-Fi](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/65/861465.jpg?h=9a69a4c5)
I would've thought it comes up when you open the Google One app, at leastthat's how you redeemed the 6 month trial of the 2TB Google One Plan that came with the Pixel 8 Pro.P.S. Gemini Advanced doesn't get shared if it's on a family plan.
Does anyone know if you can activate the bonus 1 year of Gemini advanced on multiple accounts that are signed in on the Pixel 9 Pro, or does it limit it to the first account somehow?
