Hi All

Thought I would share with you all a Family and Friends (& staff) offer Telstra has recently announced. This is a clearance sale so some well priced items on the list available both in-store or online (both limited and clearance only). Telstra ID is required to access the sale through Telstra.com or you can visit your local Telstra Shop to see what they have in-store and pay cash/credit outright. Repayment options are available for those who like to access 12/24 month repayment options on selected products.
Sale is on until the 18th June 11:59 AEST and is purely while stocks last. Full terms and conditions are in the PDF.

You need to use "TelstraFamily" as the coupon code both online and in-store to access the sale pricing.

Full disclosure i do work for Telstra and have been active in creating this sale including setting up the eligibility rules to enable my Ozbargain friends to access the sale pricing. Also yes some of the RRPs are "aged" but you should find many products competitive with whats out there in the market.

      Surely Ozbargain community would qualify as Friends and or Family? This offer isn't restricted to direct contacts/relatives or associates (no verification or qualification required) so can be shared or accessed publicly (using the voucher code). I would have thought sharing on Ozbargain is the ideal place for that sort of thing.

        One problem with this logic. Ozb'ers are not fools. They are going to see through this ploy and call you out for desperately trying to flog a dead horse.

        There have been some real amazing deals done here through employees/owners of companies. This is just a joke, and you took time and effort to make it, which makes it even worse!

      This seems to be the trend at many stores now. For most companies marketing departments "clearance" is just another way to fool customers that may not know the historical price points. This is just another example of big companies treating us like we're idiots. They need to think twice before posting BS clearance deals on OB!

    Current models are the Pixel Buds Pro 2.

          Also remove the max 5 negative votes, let negative votes take free rein.

                Would you have liked 4 (number of negs on your comment right now) replies reiterating that they think this is a terrible idea? What about on political threads, where comments can have >100 negs?

                That would lead to pages and pages of comments no-one cares about. It would get boring fast, and add a bunch of useless garbage to the comments that could otherwise have useful deal info.

              Just to say that votes, marketing etc. can be easily manipulated.

                @Skinnerr: Yes, agree Skinnerr, sockpuppeting and astroturfing is a never ending issue and requires much moderation time to investigate these. But bots, no. 20 deals were removed in March due to sockpuppeting per stats

                Many of the sockpuppted deals were investigated due to reports from members. So out of all the positive voters on this deal, members can see all of their comments, what they've voted on and how old their account is. Any suspicious activity should be reported so we can investigate.

                In reality we are doing our job. Your accusation stated that OzB has a voting mechanism and most of them could be bots, which you then did not provide any basis, details or example of.

              • netsurfer on 25/05/2026 - 23:52

                @RTX9090Ti: The mod didn't deflect your questions. By the way, I can see your comment which received -12 neg votes (just click on unhide).

                From my personal experience, I can tell you mods do have the stats and information to tell a lot more about the votes than you think. They try not to interfere, but if someone is doing dodgy stuff, they know and will do something about it. If you can provide evidence on which votes were made by BOTs (you can tell who + voted the deal), mods can check and ban them. However, if you don't, then don't provide misinformation.

                The fact that this deal already has -12 neg votes shows the system is working as intended. There is no point BOT voting an OZB deal, majority of OZBers will neg vote the deal to even things out (and honestly, OZB mods CAN tell). Let me give you a hint, don't underestimate OZB and OZB mods.

        • Rebsphere on 25/05/2026 - 19:51

          Thanks, I have negged my first "deal" on OzBargain. I don't get why there are over 50 positive votes for this post. Are members just "acknowledging" the post and being courteous? We're clearly being taken for fools here. Perhaps members need to be clearly informed that pseudo deals such as this need to be negged. Then hopefully in future companies will think twice about using this community to just post adverts camouflaged as clearance deals. Although the comments here are super helpful.

          • Moderatorhamza23 on 25/05/2026 - 20:05

            @Rebsphere: Based on comments I would speculate (as a member, not talking on behalf of OzBargain), that some thought the example item in the title was Buds Pro 2. Secondly I think friends and family as the sale name, could give the expectation of better deals than what is on offer. Thirdly it might not be great prices historically from what I looked at, but you can see in one comment at least, that it can be a good price for those wanting something now and did not get it in the past.

            It goes both ways though, some good deal can miss out on votes because of misconceptions or similar.

            The voting system is a good general/broad indicator but it's not perfect, there will be anomalies both ways. We still need to check comments and do our own research.

          • netsurfer on 26/05/2026 - 00:06

            @Rebsphere: I have not + vote this deal, but I did get a freebie because of this deal being posted (because I have some spare Telstra Plus points). Normally, I don't have enough points to get anything, but with the price reduction, I was able to get a free case and screen protector (free postage and Telstra has already notified me the item has been posted).

            The link to the PDF is useful even if you found nothing worthwhile. It is faster than searching through Telstra Web site.

    They are trying to clear 2023 stock by calling it an "exclusive" deal. Look at the prices:

    Galaxy S23 Ultra (2023 model): $949. You can get a newer S25 for the same money.
    Z Fold 5 (3-year-old foldable): $1,399. High risk of screen failure for a premium price.
    Accessories: The "$10" cases are just standard market prices with a fake "RRP" inflated to $50 to make it look like a deal.
    This isn’t a discount; it’s a clearance sale at inflated prices for old tech disguised as a staff perk. Don’t fall for it.

    Down Down law suit should apply here!

        Where can I get them at a cheaper price or even the same price for that matter?

          No point transacting comments if you're happy. Hope you enjoy them

          Not if you're only looking at the Google pixel buds pro because they are now 4 years old and most retailers cleared their stock ages ago.

          Personally I would have gone for the Samsung galaxy buds 3 which are currently 97$ from Officeworks and around 140 elsewhere, better sound, ANC and don't have to deal with any battery degradation from long term storage.

            @alteyez: Fair point. It is for my son. He is happy with this product for himself.

    Don’t worry Telstra treats its own staff the same way they are treating you with this deal…. Like crap and idiots… Viki is looking forward to cutting staff by 50% with her AI crusade

      With AI meaning "An Indian", they are moving so many jobs offshore

    Can I say that there are people who create unlimited dummy accounts everytime they are going to post a comment. By that premise, it wouldnt surprise me if there are people who use that to also artificially upvote deals.

      You can see the list of upvoters, which of them are dummy accounts? I had a quick flick through and most of the accounts are 10+ years old, so must be a long con 🤔

        And how many of them upvoters bothered to comments here? I counted maybe 5 or so out of 58.

        Yes I know people who have made many dummy accounts over the years and kept them .

          Should report them to the mods (to ban those accounts).

          It goes both ways, with most people + voted this deal not commenting, the negative comments are prominent throughout.

        They aren't speaking so the silence is deafening. The only long con is you, trying for so long to convince everyone it's legit and flog us your old overpriced crap that no one else wants. A real show of force of the status quo of Australian fallen industry giants - trying to polish a turd and selling it back to us. Pathetic.

          If someone has lots of Telstra Plus points, they could benefit from this deal. I had some unused Telstra Plus points, with the price rise of prepaid kits, I can't use those points even on the cheapest prepaid SIM. However, I was able to get a case and screen protector. I wasn't expecting to be able to get anything from Tel$tra with tiny amount of points.

          Most people who + voted this deal have been long time OZBers, and the location spread appears okay (Sydney (NSW) and Melbourne (VIC) being majority is understandable). OZB does actively block Telstra staff from voting on a Telstra deal.
