LG Opens Bookings for LG G8X ThinQ, Smart TVs, ACs, Other Consumer Electronics With Cashback Offers in Tow

LG has started taking registrations of interest for its LG G8X ThinQ smartphone as the coronavirus lockdown in India continues. All these registered customers will get an instant discount of Rs. 5,000 and a Jabra Bluetooth headset at Rs. 1,999 against the purchase of the smartphone. The company has also listed offers across product categories, and pre-bookings for these products attract benefits of up to Rs. 10,000. LG notes that pre-registrations are live till May 15, and the purchase period to avail all the offers listed is May 30.

The company has introduced a dedicated microsite for pre-booking select products in the country during the lockdown. The LG G8X ThinQ was launched in India last December, and is priced at Rs. 49,999. As the government has banned sale of non-essential goods in the country, LG is only taking registrations of interest for users who may be interested to purchase the device after lockdown. If a consumer registers their interest before May 15, that person will be eligible to get an instant discount of Rs. 5,000 and a Jabra Bluetooth headset for Rs. 1,999. This offer is only applicable if the user purchases the device before May 30. Once the customer has registered online, an LG representative will get in touch to educate the user on how to facilitate these offers.
