Discount amount going down.

 

Was 30% off prior to this offer. B1G1F or 50% off prior to that.

"Voucher does not apply to subsequent recharges"

 

So, you can't renew an existing plan with this?

 

 

 

I have a couple aligned with  the anniversary and the black friday dates so hopefully they continue with discounts at that time.

Typically, it just replaces it from the day you enter in the code.

I think the "Voucher does not apply to subsequent recharges" means that this offer applies to this time, your next renewal would be at whatever the price is when it renews.

 

What I'd like to know is whether I could pay for 365 days on a good offer, renew for 1 month at a time and then pay for 365 days when another good offer comes up? Also, can I pay for 365 days when I've still got some time left and just have an extra 365 days added? If I had 20 days left and paid for 365 days, does that mean I'm good for 385 days? This is important information to me, before I ditch Warehouse Mobile and switch to Kogan.

If you have 20 days, and you apply a voucher for 365 days, have 365 days after applying the voucher. It replaces whatever you have with the new time period, they do not stack. 

 

So - don't do that ;-)

Seems a little rude to wipe out what you had left. When you buy 365 days, you would get some leeway on when you apply the voucher? I would guess that there would be a certain amount of time available that you would need to use the voucher by.

The previous special I saw was 365 days for $112, that wasn't long ago, so I'm guessing that specials happen fairly frequently. Even $120 is pretty good, only $10/30 days and you get unlimited minutes and a decent amount of data - that is quite a bit better than what Skinny offers for example.

Would there be any problem with going from 365 days to 30 days to 365 days, if it happened that where wasn't a special when your 365 days ran out, but then there was a special a month later? I'd rather pay $120 or less than the normal $160 and paying $15 per month for a month or 2 would be totally worth it to wait for a special where you save $40 or more. $120/365 is $10/month, in comparison paying $15/month for a month or 2 is only costing an extra $5 or $10 while waiting to save $40+. It seems very much worth it to wait for a reasonable special before paying for a whole year.

I seem to recall they had a bigger plan than their 15gb one called an XL? I switched to the Large 15gb/m annual plan a few months ago and am finding 15gb is not enough for me some months. Previously I was on a carry over plan so it was nice to build up a reserve some months and use them up in other months so I never really ran out of data.

 

Will have to do the maths at the next renewal to see if it is worth staying with Kogan spending the occasional extra money (either the add on from Kogan which is fairy expensive $/GB or using a second SIM for extra data which is a hassle but better $/GB) or going with another provider altogether just to ensure I never run out of data.

I got an e-mail from Kogan about a good 50% off one of their mobile plans, unfortunately it is an Aussie deal rather than a Kiwi one, so it is of no use to me. But it does make me a bit jealous, A$135 for 12 months on the large plan with 25GB per month - that is a hell of a lot better than anything we get offered here!

The MVNO market here in AU is extremely competitive for domestic and international calling.
In the case of Kogan, they use the Vodafone AU network which is the smallest of the three network operators. 

 

You generally have to be with the big 3 to link your watch and to get decent international roaming though. 

 

Personally, I'm on the lookout for Kogan NZ discounts when they next come out, my folks could benefit from a set and forget plan (as opposed to being on my business pool plans :P ).

My one year plan is new for renewal in a couple of weeks. I’ve noticed they seem to be only offering 25% off rather than half price. Hopefully they come out with the 50% off again soon.

I am (well, my whole family is!) in the same boat, so sure hoping they’ll come to the party with a repeat of the BOGOF offer soon.

Just to confirm, though, the current 25% discount offer is for the 30 day plans, with no discount off the 365 day plans - it does mean the former is currently cheaper than the latter (eg medium plan is $18.75 vs $20.55 a month). I’m contemplating switching all of us onto 30 day plans until a BOGOF deal comes through.

… and gone; that is, the 25% off 30 day plans is no longer on their website. Here’s hoping that’s in preparation for a BOGOF deal! I imagine there’ll be many current Kogan mobile users looking around at other providers if not; the problem is there don’t seem to be any others that provide anything like the value for money - or have I missed something?
