      Cancellation Fee is now $1,000 pro rata for 23 months so $958.33

          Sorry, it's confusing. If they give a $1200 discount on a $2000 phone, it means you will be in $800 debt. Plus the cancellation fee, which will be for the 24-month SIM card contract, makes it the same price as what it is. Am I correct?

              @McMaferMur: You end up with a $241.67 discount.

              Examples:
              Base 17 Pro @ $1999
              Cancellation fee @ $958.33
              Deal discount @ $1200

              1999 - 1200 = 799 out of pocket
              958.33 + 799 = 1757.33 total cost
              1999 - 1757.33 = $241.67

              Base spec @ 1399:

              1399 - 1200 = 199 out of pocket
              958.33 + 199 = 1157.33 total cost
              1399 - 1157.33 = 241.67 discount

                @OZBMate8911: Plus the $99 of the first month. If you consider that those $1200 could be paid with gift cards if you don’t take this offer, you could save $120 on them. I don’t think you can pay the plan and cancellation fee with gift cards, so that brings your profit down to just $22.67. Not worth the headache.

                By the way, the offer has changed overnight and now includes a doorbell supposedly worth $149. So that is probably the only advantage in taking this offer, but only if you are already in the market for a doorbell.

          Deception and dishonesty

          • SetTheFaqUp on 30/10/2025 - 09:50

            @U30004: Without going into legal interpretation (leave that to legal practitioners and the court), I doubt you understand a layman's take on deception and dishonesty.

            But then, many JB staff have the same problem (or do you work there too?).

            If anything, JB is in more of position to act in a deceptive and dishonest manner. In fact, I have been misled by JB store on numerous occasions - of course, not letting them getting away with it. One was led to a civil dispute with cost on my end recovered. Another was close to a police report until the store "manager" had time to google and figured it is possibly a criminal offence in NSW.

            Having said the above, most JB staff are a delight to deal with, except for a few uneducated and like to take the spirit of contract and consumer law into their own interpretation. (JB corporate is partly to be blamed to boost sales with such complicated sales campaigns)

            @U30004: This offer has been revised by Telstra recently to bump up the early termination fee. The old deal with lower termination fee was around for years. JB staff generally remind you of the early termination fee and inform you that you can terminate early by paying that fee. JB mobile staff / Telstra mobile staff are very efficient and processing these early termination (it's been done so many times).

            There is also a credit check and if you keep doing that multiple times, Telstra will not approve the credit check. Also, Telstra is a bit fussy on the credit check (if there isn't enough credit history on your credit report, Telstra does decline to let you sign up).

      The idea of this deal is for people to sign up and keep the plan for the whole 24 months, we can't expect to go back as the way it was. There's no incentives for JB and Telstra.

    This can only be a 'deal' when you churn straight after receiving the benefits, right?

    Otherwise:
    $1,200 JB credit worths $1,080 (at most) and you are essentially paying $648 yearly plan with excessive data for 2 years. ($99 x 24 - 1080)/2

      They’re leveraging people who can claim the exaggerated service fee on their employer and/or ATO. “You do the sneaky and we’ll slip you $1200 in gift cards or a free phone”.

      • yummypinacolada on 30/10/2025 - 03:30
        +3

        Exactly — some people get fully reimbursed for their mobile service by their employer, while others claim their $99-per-month mobile plan as a tax deduction. In addition, since the phone has its own invoice showing the full price, they can also claim the phone itself as a work-related expense and receive a deduction for it.

        • SetTheFaqUp on 30/10/2025 - 09:58

          ATO is slowly (very slow) auditing a lot of the excessive claims.

          Some are rather active on ozbargain - I suspect.

          A mate got pulled up and had to pull out all paperwork for some years. Not easy questions on some questionable claims.

            • SetTheFaqUp on 30/10/2025 - 13:14

              @dealt: Well. Individuals got audited for excessive expense claims and CGT from shares sold not properly declared.

              Also been told by the accountant that his peer's (accountant) clients got pulled up on audits - looks like the dodgy accountant was targeted.

              Sold trader can also be abn registered business and no idea how ATO's picks their sample/target.

              I have had some quite large deductions as a salaried employee for a long time, not an issue to-date. But I do have all documents (incl diary entries too) supporting all the claims, even at the event of an audit, will just be a matter of extracting the folder for the year of review. Most people don't keept their tax record on this manner.

        • sydneygirl on 30/10/2025 - 12:01

      You must declare any goods you bring back to Australia, for which a TRS claim was made by you or another person when the goods left Australia
      On returning to Australia, you must declare the goods at Question 3 on your Incoming Passenger Card (IPC)
      If you bring goods back into Australia for which a GST refund via the TRS has been claimed, the goods must be declared. If their total value (combined with any other overseas or /duty free purchases) exceeds the passenger concession allowance, you may need to pay any applicable GST and/or duty.
      Penalties may apply if you fail to declare these items.
