grr, just got an optus plan a month ago. Will be calling them to try this on.

Available from 24 March until 5 July, Optus is giving customers the ultimate entertainment experience with a generous Netflix subscription. New and re-contracting customers can get a six month subscription to Netflix through Optus when they sign up to:
home broadband bundle on a $60 plan or above, on a 24 month contract;
a postpaid mobile service on a $60 plan or above, on a 24 month contract; or
a postpaid mobile broadband service on a $30 plan or above, on a 24 month contract.

OR

3 months free (thanks unity1 for this find, $15 prepaid mobile device http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/optus-huawei-…)

Optus is also giving prepaid customers a three month subscription when they purchase any prepaid phone or mobile broadband device and activate the included SIM.

How does Optus’ offer work?

Customers must sign up for an eligible plan between 24 March and 5 July 2015 and activate their service.
Once customers have activated their service they’ll receive a link to Optus’ Netflix page, where they can reclaim their unique Netflix subscription code
Using their unique Netflix subscription code customers can sign-up for their three or six month subscription via the Netflix website.

    This just keeps getting better and better. In the past few weeks, I've negotiated a $20/month loyalty discount, unlimited mobile calls, Big Home Bundle (unlimited internet, Fetch TV and tablet) and now Netflix, all without paying a cent more than my previous plan. Getting NBN soon with free speed pack already promised too!

    • Advv on 24/03/2015 - 19:12

      How much are you paying?

      I'm on the big home bundle for $90 + 10$ speedpack to 50mbps (NBN) + 10$ for unlimited mobile calls + 15$ for world saver ultimate.

      They said they couldn't do the speedpack for free :(

      • M0RGAN on 24/03/2015 - 20:32
        +3

        $90 per month ($70 after loyalty discount)

    • bargainist on 24/03/2015 - 21:30

      Is the tablet free because it says ''$0 upfront tablet repayments after $19 per month tablet credit.'' What does that mean?

      • M0RGAN on 24/03/2015 - 21:48
        +1

        It's free as long as you stay on the plan for 24 months. If you change plans you'll have to pay $19 per month for the remaining time.

        • alison4peace on 26/03/2015 - 19:59

          Hi, Morgan ~ I just wanted to clarify with you what you get from Optus?
          ~ $20/month loyalty discount
          ~ Unlimited mobile calls
          ~ Big Home Bundle (includes unlimited internet, Fetch TV and tablet)
          ~ Netflix (6 months free trial)
          ~ NBN soon with free speed pack
          ~ $70 /month

          ~ Do you get 30 Entertainment Channels or just Basic Fetch TV?
          ~ What do you pay for your mobile phone plan (Is that with Optus, too?)
          ~ How much is your plan WITH your mobile phone included?
          ~ What number did you call to negotiate your deal? Customer Support or Retentions?

          Thanks so much… Want to use your info to negotiate a better deal with Optus. :) Just making sure I have all my ducks in a row, first. lol

        • M0RGAN on 26/03/2015 - 21:44
          +2

          That's correct, just basic Fetch TV. I'm with Optus prepaid, so no bonuses there (doubt you'd be able to stack anyway). I called Retentions saying that I was thinking of switching to TPG, told them people on OzBargain and Whirlpool were getting $20/month loyalty discounts, got that and the Big Home Bundle. Got the unlimited mobile calls and promised free speed pack after complaints regarding my plan, that were escalated to Customer Relations (later start date than promised, being incorrectly told that I'd get unlimited calls, powerline adapter and tablet not delivered on time, not calling me back etc). Called my Customer Relations representative (I have one now!) for Netflix.

        • alison4peace on 26/03/2015 - 21:47

          @M0RGAN: Thanks so much Morgan… I will give them a call tomorrow :) Inspired now! lol

        • bargainist on 27/03/2015 - 15:48

          @M0RGAN: Tried calling, the guy from retention won't even both with any of it.

    Has anyone got a code yet from optus?

    Just wondering if we are really going to have to wait 14days….

    • JordanM on 25/03/2015 - 14:32

      I asked on facebook (activated a prepaid broadband device yesterday) and they said the following

      "Can take up to 14 days for the code to be send out via SMS Jordan, should be a bit sooner though"

      • johnno1987 on 26/03/2015 - 13:20

        Did you get any initial email once you activated the prepaid broadband. I havent received one yet?

        • JordanM on 26/03/2015 - 20:09

          No, I did not.

        • melmac77 on 31/03/2015 - 02:12

          @taurenpally:

          Was the Netflix code for the $11.99 plan and is there an option to upgrade to the $14.99 plan.

        • taurenpally on 31/03/2015 - 10:46

          @melmac77:

          From what I've read it's the hd plan.

          Couldn't redeem the code because the receive code button isn't working and have to call up aparently….

  • bargain_knight on 25/03/2015 - 11:37

    I just spoke with a guy at Optus (after using the online chat). The guy was clearly from their Indian call centre and not from their fixed line team (I only reference this as I am not sure if he actually knew what he was talking about). In any case, he said that after 17 April when Netflix becomes unmetered all Optus broadband customers with Fetch TV will get the free 6 month trial.

    I had called trying to get the Netflix offer added to my bundle, which is yet to be activated. He said not to worry as after 17 April you will get access to the free trial.

  • Mobe1969 on 25/03/2015 - 14:34

    Wonder if the codes are transferrable. I might get one (still pondering signing up for a package) but not sure I really want netflix.

    Or how long the coupon lasts until expiry - keep it for a rainy day if there is something I really want that I can't get on blu ray or itunes…

    • [Deactivated] on 25/03/2015 - 14:43
      +1

      you have to use the code within 14 days of receiving it or it expires

      • Mobe1969 on 25/03/2015 - 14:45

        Ah, thanks.

      http://www.optus.com.au/shop/promotions/netflix-subscription…

      Got this from the above link.

      "When do I have to claim my Netflix voucher from Optus by?
      Once you receive your email/SMS/letter from us, you'll have 14 calendar days to claim your voucher online. You'll need to activate this voucher with Netflix before midday 30 September 2015."

      The cut off date for this offer is July 5th. So even if you claim after 14 days from the 5th July, the last date to use the voucher would be July 29th. So to my understanding is that once you activate your service (Optus), they will send you a link to claim for your Netflix Voucher (receive within 14 days), then you have till Midday 30th September to use that voucher on Netflix to claim for your free trial.

      Correct me if i'm wrong.
      But if that's true.. then it's worth buying those Optus $15 prepaid Modem.

      "Can I use more than one Netflix voucher per Netflix account?
      Yes! You can use multiple Optus Netflix vouchers on the same Netflix account; they do not override each other."

      • King Tightarse on 27/03/2015 - 23:17

        Thats great.
        So the codes stack? Or need to used one after the other?

  • bluedufflecoat on 25/03/2015 - 16:19

    Anyone able to get through to Optus? On the phone, waited over half an hour and gave up. Online chat was busy. :/

    • vinna27 on 27/03/2015 - 13:02

      I had to wait over an hour before getting through. Don't give up! Online chat just told me to call because they couldn't upgrade my plan online.

      • Mik on 31/03/2015 - 18:28

        Called during lunch break, wait was longer than lunch. Called when I got home at 5… Still waiting now at 6:30… But I'm hanging on…

        6:48 update, just got off phone, and they flat out refused. My order was 12 March, with install date next week. All she could suggest was get a prepaid mobile, or cancel order and reorder, thus pushing back install date another month.

        Not happy.

    Anyone know which Netflix plan Optus is offering?

    Took one hour waiting on my mobile to get the response from the Indian call centre "Go check our website"…

    I got upset and he read it himself and told me he doesn't know and was not told what plan they are offering.

    If you have recently signed up with their contract you will need to restart that 24 month contract again to get this 6 month Netflix deal.

    • Mobe1969 on 27/03/2015 - 13:15

      Says on the first page it is the $11.99 HD plan. It doesn't provide a link though.

      • melmac77 on 27/03/2015 - 14:51

        wonder if you can pay the difference to netflix to get the top tier 4 stream plan

  • wmrollo on 30/03/2015 - 19:06
    +3
    Merged from 4 months Netflix - $15

    As per the Optus website:

    "Optus is also giving prepaid customers a three month subscription when they purchase any prepaid phone or mobile broadband device and activate the included SIM."

    This prepaid modem - Optus Huawei E3351 3G USB Modem is $15 at Officeworks and is eligible for this deal.

    Combined with the standard Netflix 1 month free trial, and you've got 4 months of Netflix for $15!

    (Optus deal is for the $11.99/month plan - normally would be $36, save $21)

        Just had a read through the FAQ

        "If you already have a Netflix free trial you will still get to finish it before your subscription begins. However, a new customer signing up with their Optus bonus subscription does not get the free trial."

        Worded strangely but I think we can do the 1+3 month combo

    • wonderboy on 30/03/2015 - 19:22

      • spendinghacker on 30/03/2015 - 22:09

        which other code do you wanna stack?

        Do you mean you wanna buy multiple Optus dongles and try and get multiple codes from them?

        • wonderboy on 30/03/2015 - 22:23

          Yeah

        • spendinghacker on 30/03/2015 - 22:39

          @wonderboy: Looks like I am dealing with a professional here! :)

          Give it a try and see how you go.

          Netflix would almost certainly accept the code as they probably wouldn't know where it came from. It's essentially life a gift card.

          I expect the problem you will have, if any, is with Optus. Not sure they will issue you a second code if you activate another device under the same name, address and DOB.

          If you can activate it on behalf of a family member, different story!

          Either way, keep us posted.

    I just tried to redeem my code from Optus, now my account settings show that there's "no payment information", even when I have already updated it before and after I redeemed my code. If I try to redeem my code again, it says it has already been used. It did say, however, that when I redeemed it, that it had been applied to my account. My problem is I can't see anywhere any record of it, or anything that shows when my membership will expire…? Anyone face a similar situation?

    Has anyone received their code yet?
    I recontracted with them, downgrading from $115 entertainment bundle to $90 cost. When I called them last week, the guy said I didn't recontract, then backtracked and said I have recontracted and I'll get $25 off when I get bills from now on. He also said that there's still another 7 days to go for 14 day waiting period (I recontracted 23/3) and to wait until this Friday.

    • bluedufflecoat on 13/04/2015 - 14:21

  • King Tightarse on 14/04/2015 - 21:38

    Finally got my code and applied it in my Netflix account (after going to the site Optus sends you to).
    I am in the middle if the free month, so went ahead and applied it. Something about $30 something dollars flashed up and that was it. Now I cant see anything associated with it in my account or billing. I hope it just kicks in once the free month is up.
    Anyone know?
