  • Pretty good trade in bonus. No option for trading in an iPhone 15 Pro. Is it too new?

  • not sure - but I would try and find a busted S8 or above and trade in for 0 + $650. :D

      What codes did you use at the time and does the order you applied the codes impact the final price? I'm gearing up for the S25 line release and trying to figure out the way to get the absolute most discount

          • @pdevonporf: Did this work for you? The A04 is showing a trade in value of $0 for me and when I get to the IMEI/Serial page it shows $0 and doesn't show the $500 boost.

            Don't want to go buy an A04 and then find out I can't use it for trade in.

            • +1

              @Stoic: You have to make sure you obviously tick all the boxes and just use any IMEI on any phone that hasn't been used for trade and it will give you a tick, then you go to check out and apply relevant codes, you should see what discount has been applied. On one trade, I just used a random IMEI number because I hadn't received the new A04 in time the trade went through no problem.

              • @pdevonporf: Every time I put in a IMEI number for the $0 A04 trade in, using any IMEI from my 2 phones (which are not A04's) it just shows ''sorry an error has occured'' as if the IMEI is wrong or wont work so cant get past that page to see what the discount should be.

                • @Hamster: I ticked all the boxes and it always shows $0.00 for a brand new A04 phone, i use the serial instead of IMEI

                  Also send in my phone box sealed, so they cant tag me on any issues if its never opened.

                • @Hamster: Sometimes Samsung has a glitch because their website is useless and sometimes it benefits you because when they change promotions they overlap because they're so slow to update. I see they updated the website so that could be a reason for it. I just used a random IMEI of my old s23 and a phantom A04 as a trade on a Samsung S24 Total $586.49 on the normal public Samsung site.

            • @Stoic: On the plus side of getting the new A04 phone, you do get to keep the fast charger and USB C cable.

              • @pdevonporf: Don't think that works if you're following @Huntakillaz advice, does it?

                • @Nil Einne: They only want the phone so you could open the box and take out the charger to keep resell.
                  I just can't be bothered especially with the stories in the forum thread and if they somehow find fault then I'll say talk to Samsung/The store i got it from as it under warranty

                • @Nil Einne: If you're talking about buying a new A04 phone. When I receive the new phone I open the box start the phone put in another Samsung Account email address and get another code from Samsung members app 10% plus another 10% first time App Store. Buy another product put the phone back in its box without the charger and cable and send it to Samsung as a trade in on the previous purchase. By the way the Samsung A04 has a good build quality and excellent battery and very good screen for the money but is a terrible phone and I would not recommend it. It is so glitchy and slow.

                  • @pdevonporf: If you need it for the Samsung members app then no choice but to open it. Was just saying that if you wanted to keep it unopened so it's more difficult for them to complain there's a problem as suggested by Huntakillaz, you can't keep the charger and USB C. That said, despite the historic problems it seems especially in NZ if you make enough fuss you can probably get them to cave if they do try to screw you. Also as Huntakillaz mentioned you can point out it's still under warranty so they can ask Samsung to replace it. So I'd probably chose to open it for the charger and cable even if I didn't need the phone for the Samsung member's app.

                    Edit: It sounds like most A04 don't come with a charger anyway? Maybe it was a Spark exclusive thing or something but those currently sold say wall charger sold separately. So too the A05 which seems to be the cheapest current option.

                    • @Nil Einne: I've traded four in the last few months, no problems. I don't even think there's any real value in refurnishing them it's more of a marketing thing for people to trade up their old phones rather than people sending in some trash phone out of the bin. The flagship models like iPhones and the newer Samsung's are more likely to be refurnished and would be closely inspected.

                      • @pdevonporf: Can you confirm if the A04 comes with charger in the box? I'm probably not going to open the one that I have but I'm very curious if it does have a charger in the box or not

                        • +1

                          @littletoolate: Yes I got both from Noel Leeming and Spark and they both came with white fast Slow charges

                    • @Nil Einne: I've got them from Noel Leeming and spark both the same box except the Noel Leeming phone came with a warehouse $15 sim. And yes I've noticed the price has gone up from $130 from Noel Leeming and spark was $100, got the last ones from them.

                      • @pdevonporf: Guess either Noel Leeming site is wrong or maybe new stock doesn't have a charger. With the new price, not sure if it's worth it anyway, maybe better to try and get a used one although not much more time for this sale (assuming want to use it for Samsung members app rather than just tradein).

                        BTW if making up an IMEI note it has a check digit so use a calculator site to make sure you have a valid IMEI.

                        • @Nil Einne: I just brought a broken A04 for $11 on trade me I crossed all the boxes added a Samsung S 24 and a S 24+ the total came to $1793 without any discount codes. I can get another hundred dollars off in discount codes but have to wait few days for the members 10%. Any valid IMEI code off one of your phones, doesn't matter whether it's a iPhone as long as it will work. I used one off trade me when they showed the picture of a IMEI just to see what the total discount would be I use that Number as a dummy tester all the time. It's more likely to be a miss print on the Noel lemming site as the boxes were the same from Noel lemming and spark.

                          I found a 10% and discounts $1,478.98

                          • @pdevonporf: I'm mostly after a good camera so the Ultra is really where it's at for me but it's a little more than I'd like to spend. I was thinking of a refurb Pixel but looking at prices for a good one made me wonder whether it might be worth just going for the Ultra and getting a new phone if I can get it down to ~$900. Going by OzB, they had some decent deals on Pixel 8s in Australia when the 9 launched but since it's not officially sold here we don't get anything like that unfortunately. I think I started looking a bit late anyway since there were probably a bunch of refurbs 1 month or so after the new model launched but less now.

                            I've never used the Samsung store or app before so have the 10% for new members. But no Samsung devices so no 10% members code and ~$1100 was still a little high (plus whatever I have to spend to get an A04). I did manage to get a 10% from Samsung store agents but only after the sale ended since I started too late. And voucher should expire before any future sale. Also haven't tested if the voucher will stack.

                            But I might look and see if I can get a cheap working well enough to at least use the members app A04 or something so it's easier and I also managed to get access to the Education EPP. So will consider again with their next flash sale. Also the 512GB was OOS by the time I looked and I'm assuming it's not that much more so might prefer that anyway. Of course could just decided the S24 or S24+ camera is good enough.

                            • @Nil Einne: Yes the sale was bit more complicated to get the discounts, last time it was 30% off and there were quite a few codes you could stack. You have to be prepared for these sales by having a trade and a Samsung phone to take advantage of these flash sales. If you buy a good A04 or new of trade me you can use that as your members and Samsung account. Brought a new A04 off trade me a few days ago for $107.

    Is anyone still working for the government? 😅

  • +5

    FYI: Samsung seems to have updated their Website, EPP now only allows 1 code max, Normal site allows 3 max
    Trade in values have dropped as well compared to few months back.

  • Do we have to be a government employee to crack this deal?

    Does anyone have spare Samsung Members Codes? I’ll pay for ‘em if so

  • +2

    I just found that LOYAL50 works

  • Any discount codes I can use? I have tried codes from previous deal but none of them are working
    edit - nvm LOYAL50 is good

    $717.87 (iPhone 12 128gb trade in + 10% welcome discount) for a S24U 256gb, may sit on this for 2 more days before pulling the trigger. Not a fan of foldable and S24U is probably too big for me

    • +1

      If you use the code i shared below UPGRADES24 instead of the LOYAL50, it brings it down to $684.30 excluding 10% welcome discount (i cant check this as i've already used mine)

      • +1

        Thanks!
        $537.87 for S24U
        $765.87 for ZF6
        Dang that's a pretty good deal

        • +1

          Hold the phone, can you confirm exactly what combination of codes + trade-in you're using to get the S24U down that low? I can only get as low as $998 using LOYAL50, UPGRADES24, the 10% welcome discount and a $605 trade-in value.

          • +2

            @ABCDEFG: S24U 256gb
            iPhone12 128 trade in $280 + boosted $500 + UPGRADES24 $250 + 10% welcome

            • @aerir: @aerir @Martz5 is this via the EPP site?

              • @RJA7: Yep - the original deal post is via the EPP store

                • @Martz5: thanks , just that some people mentioned via EPP you could only stack 1 code and then some mentioned it worked via the normal site too… SO got confused.

                  • @RJA7: Yea from what i can see EPP only allows 1 code and the regular store allows multiple codes

      • +1

        Can use both loyal50 and upgrades24

        Have the s24 down to 320ish using all the codes, hmmmm ill sleep on it.

        How's everyone's experiences with trade in? Easy enough?

          Read this thread before proceeding.

          https://www.cheapies.nz/node/47851

          If your tradein value is almost zero, then use a Wise card and you should be fine. Otherwise good luck! One of my 3 did go through without a hitch, the other 2 have been nightmares which I haven't recovered from (one hasn't been resolved since August).

        • +3

          Make sure you take a photo of the phone's condition, IMEI, the box, the tracking number etc. Samsung trade in has been a nightmare for some people (me included, though I've had a grovelling phone call after I Cc'd the commerce comission)

      I got mine from the normal.site as dont have access to that other site

    Does anyone have insight on trading in the phone you're currently using? How does it work with transferring data? Do you just get a box to send it back so there's room to use the old to set up the new?

    • You have 7 days to return the new phone, use the "Smartswitch" app to transfer most of your data and apps (check signins/backups for messaging apps like whatsapp and signal) Factory reset and send. I think they give you packaging to send it in .

      • Are they picky about stuff like the cords etc? I have original box n stuff but gave the charging cord away

        • +1

          Just the phone. They send you the courier label, you provide the box.

    • You have plenty of time to send the trade back after you receive your new item. It doesn't matter what box you send it in. I just use the box I received with the new phone .The deal for contract lasts a month although they say seven days after you receive your new item. I've sent them back 10 to 2 weeks later. I've done four trades lately and the only glitch was nz post taking a long time to deliver one (3 weeks). Brought a new 55" QLED QE1D 4K $740 delivered including $100 trade in for any TV under 50 inches I just sent an old monitor. I just used New A04 Samsung phone that cost $100 from spark and $130 from Noel Leeming. Or you can take your luck with a secondhand one from trade me. It's better than giving them your old late model phone if it's in good condition it's better to sell it on Trade or Facebook.

      • Doesn't look like new A04 at those prices is an option any more, seems to be less available and expensive perhaps their stock all got sold to turn into tradeins. A05 seems the next best option currently $169 at Noel Leeming.

        • +1

          I just assumed since the A04 could be traded in the A05 could be as well, but seems it can't. Since the A04 has zero value anyway, if you don't want to use the phone for the Samsung app could just buy the cheapest A04 you could find and tick all the boxes about it being damaged etc.

  • Here is the price for Fold6 256GB with s23ultra trade in non-EPP.

      Apply for a govt job, though deal might be over by the time you get in 😂

      I got one when I worked at the last elections but but it's been deactivated now. If you sign up for a free course viaTe Wananga o Aotearoa, you can get a '.ac' educational email address. That will allow access to Samsung's student discounts.

  • +4

    In regards to the trade ins, I'd like to point people to this forum to make note of what to do when sending in their traded phone to avoid being stung by shadiness from Samsung's 3rd party contractor.

    https://www.cheapies.nz/node/47851

    • Yup always take photo and video evidence.
      And goes for sending anything by post/courier as then if stuff goes wrong you got evidence.

      The A04's I've sent I've left sealed new coz then they can't f* with me about any issues.

  • Managed to get the S24+ 256GB at $460.87 using student portal. Down from $2,049.

      Your making Tim Apple sad 😂

  • Honestly apple batteries sucks after 2 years and this deal is crazy so I grabbed it.

  • I think UPGRADES24 doesn't work - I'm using the vitality EPP. Does it only work on the govt EPP?

    • It did worked

    • Does UPGRADEZ work?

      • Yep this one still work, just not the 24 one

        • +2

          I thought the UPGRADEZ is for Z fold and Flip6
          And the UPGRADES24 code is for the S24 lineup.
          Different codes for different lineups.

  • Just managed to pick up a black S24 for $405 using the AIA EPP
    Traded in an S09, and used the UPGRADES24 code, tried to stack the other codes but it wouldn’t let me.

    Pretty happy with over $1200 off rrp.

    • Same here but via the Education Store, grabbed one for $310 trading an S20FE. Stoked with the price.

  • Can someone provide some better instructions on how to do this. Do you need an government email address. If you dont have one then what? Someone has said there is another method. Can you provide a link to that.

    • What phone are you after and what do you have to trade in?

      • I have an s08 and was after a s24. Dont know what version yet
