I don’t think this is meant to be publicly visible yet… it’s not linked in the site nav and doesn’t come up in search.

Publicly invisible doesn't mean publicly inacessible.

Agreed, reminds me very much of "security by obscurity". Surely authentication should be required to access this before it is released to the public?

everyone needs to realise its already "in the public"

On the page you see its been released to a chosen group.

If the network retailer didnt want anyone to know about this, then this site wouldnt have been public or any testing implemented with the public.

Im pretty sure the network retailer is well aware that as soon as this was released to "testers", the info is in the public domain.

anyhow, sounds like you gotta buy more stuff to get points....

(just like grocery store promotions).

and in addition to my earlier comment a few posts back..... I reckon we will all get bombarded with "hot deals emails for all the handsets" once this gets up and running.

And the press release:

On its one-year anniversary, One New Zealand has today launched One Wallet, a digital wallet for its customers, already stacked with $37 million dollars in value, as part of its mission to offer customers even more exceptional mobile experiences.

One Wallet enables customers to redeem One Wallet Dollars to reduce the cost of their next new phone on an interest free term.

One NZ CEO Jason Paris said “Your smartphone is like a remote control for your life, it’s one of the most important purchases and frequently used items you’ll own. But we recognise a new phone is a significant personal investment, often costing thousands of dollars, so we want to help make that easier and more affordable for our loyal customers via One Wallet.”

Customers can build a balance of One Wallet Dollars in a number of ways – it could be as simple as trading in their old phone, adding a new One NZ mobile or broadband plan to their account or setting up their payment method as direct debit.

Every customer on an eligible consumer Pay Monthly Plan of $65/month and above has a One Wallet set up and ready to use from today and One NZ intends to broaden its offer soon.

Paris says customers accessing their new digital wallet this morning will be in for a pleasant surprise, “To launch this new way to buy phones, we’ve put $37 million dollars into One Wallets all over NZ. To find out your balance, check out the One Wallet tile in your My One NZ app.”

Launching on the first anniversary of the One NZ brand in market, Paris says the future is mobile:

“We’ve had an incredible first year, going from global to local, and focusing on the needs of Kiwi across the country. Our customers tell us they want simple products and services, a great network, and seamless service. We’re making rapid progress in all three of those areas, and One Wallet is a clear example of us helping our customers get better connected.”

Where can I find more info on One Wallet?

Head to https://one.nz/one-wallet for more information, including how to build your balance, get a trade-in quote and more.

I just had a quick look via the app and after getting an estimate of the value for my iPhone as a Trade-In, that amount (the estimated value) was added to the Wallet balance along with the initial $50 "bonus".

Seems my cheap plan is ineligible for it. If my mighty experience goes better this time I will probably move that number there as well in anycase.

Presumably you have to actually trade it in to get that value, or is it usable with just the quote?

Had a quick look in the app and I have $170 welcome bonus. Apparently can add $150 by "adding broadband" which I already have with them so wonder if that can be counted.

It actually doesnt say - I did the quote, added the funds to the wallet and moved on with my day.
I never committed to anything at all.

Added my trade in quote and the quote amount expires in 27 days. The welcome bonus says 5 years.
Makes sense. Mine is an S24 Ultra which I hope not to be upgrading for 5 years so it obviously won't have the same trade in value by then.

Yeah I just checked my balance history and saw that there are now expiry dates - I possibly just didn't see them at the time I first looked.
