    Telstra shop asked me to confirm I have less than 5 prepaid sims or whatever. I answered yes and the order went through but I'm guessing the SIMs I have activated, used and not topped up are probably still active…

    • AssociatedNuggets @ Telstra on 26/05/2015 - 22:52
      +1

      If you have 5 or more the ID requirements are more stringent. There's not really a limit on the number you can activate though.

      • Charity on 27/05/2015 - 11:56

        Why is it more stringent if there is no limit?

        What exactly does "more stringent" even mean? Or did u make that up to sound more official?

          Drivers' License or some other form of ID.

        • AssociatedNuggets @ Telstra on 02/06/2015 - 20:52

          No, I didn't make it up. "More stringent" is described here on the AMTA website.

          If you pay by credit or debit card and have fewer than 5 mobile prepaid services activated, you will not be asked for additional evidence of identity documents. If you have 5 or more services activated you will be required to show additional evidence of identity documents.

    The link shows a picture and title which says $15… But has $30 credit…

    If you search the Telstra website, only $2 and $30 comes up…
    https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/prepaid-mobiles/30-…

    Does the cash back applies to the $15 sim?

    • INFIDEL on 27/05/2015 - 00:49

      There is no $15 SIM, but a $30 Telstra Starter Pack (the ones we bought from Coles for $1!) for $15, less $8 Cashback later.

  • dd721411 on 27/05/2015 - 03:20

    Why didn't OP link directly to Cashrewards site rather than Telstra's? If you buy the SIM pack directly from Testra, you won't get the $8 cashback. Am I right?

    • A2E2 on 27/05/2015 - 08:15
      +1

      Well I agree, however that is ozbargain's rule not to link directly to cashback websites, but to mention it in the title, otherwise would be easier to link directly to Cashrewards.

      • dd721411 on 27/05/2015 - 11:22
        +1

        Sorry, I didn't know about that rule. Just raise the concern as many users may not use Cashrewards' direct link, therefore, no extra bonus!

    • AssociatedNuggets @ Telstra on 02/06/2015 - 20:54
      +1

      I think this has something to do with the categorising that OB does of stores. So if people are subscribed to Telstra deals, if the link is to Cashrewards instead of Telstra it won't trigger.

        One per transaction. Should work multiple times but i don't think anyone knows for sure yet.

      It has to be a pre-paid offer. It can be either phone or mobile broad band offers.

    I have done 3 transactions and on my 4th received an error. Calling Telstra they say you can only purchase more if it doesn't take you over 5. I already had 2 services active which explained it.

    The person I talked to said the limit is based on personal details and she approved of the idea of using someone elses details to buy more.

  • busterau on 27/05/2015 - 11:09

    What's the maximum cashback? Can you do multiple transactions and get cashback on each one? The T&C's don't mention anything along these lines.

      That is because it is not linked to the deal. Use this one instead. http://www.cashrewards.com.au/coupons/save-50-on-telstra-30-….

      The procedure is:
      - Create and confirm your Cashrewards account (if you haven't got one yet)
      - Go to that link above
      - Check the info to make sure that is the right deal
      - Click the green SHOP NOW button —> Telstra website
      - From here, do your shopping as usual.

      NEVER OPEN ANY OTHER TAB OR GO TO ANY OTHER WEBSITE WHILE PURCHASING STUFF USING CASHREWARDS LINKS OR YOU'LL WON'T BE ABLE TO CLAIM CASHBACK!!!

      • Misekato on 27/05/2015 - 18:18

        Should I be able to see the transaction listed immediately after the purchase (under rewards to something) in cashrewards? It says up to 7 days but I was just wondering if it was showing up immediately for anyone since I'm not seeing anything.

    • dd721411 on 28/05/2015 - 12:02

      No. The "GO TO DEAL" link already offers 50% off sim packs. ($15/pack)
      Use CASHREWARDS link to earn an extra $8 cashback. ($7/pack)

  • tofu on 28/05/2015 - 15:36

    Thanks OP

    Also ordered one 2 days ago, payment went through thought all was ok. But today Telstra emailed me saying my order is cancelled because they couldn't verify some information. The email also says "If you'd like to place a new order, please visit your local Telstra Business Centre." This is the very first time I tried ordering via Telstra shop online, feeling disappointed with the experience.

    Should I try again or just wait for another offline deal?

    • lolmao on 28/05/2015 - 16:50

      try again

    • dd721411 on 29/05/2015 - 00:11

      That's what happened when I tried activating a SIM card I bought from Dick Smith a while ago. After chatting with a staff, he managed to activate my SIM card with my ID. If you have a foreign passport, you may have the same problem with Telstra system.

      • tofu on 29/05/2015 - 09:13

        Good to know about this ID info. Don't have a foreign passport but looks like could be similar issue (but I'm only buying not even activating it yet…😞)
        I guess now wait for the refund first before putting another $15 bet in.
        And see if/when the cashback will be reversed too.
        so much steps…

        • dd721411 on 29/05/2015 - 11:12

          Last time I tried buying 1 pack at the link provided, it brought me to the very similar page where I had to give all essential ID details to activate my SIM pack (as I mentioned above).
          I think you can contact both Telstra and Cashrewards about this issue. Take some screenshots, hide your personal detail and send to them if possible.

          BTW, I couldn't use Cashrewards' link for this deal anymore. After clicking " Go to store", it redirected me back to Cashrewards page. Tried with Firefox and Chromium, same results.

        • tofu on 10/06/2015 - 10:10

          I did try to order once more..

          3/6 placed order, and received email that it was processed and on its way to deliver

          10/6 still not received the SIM, checked the tracking email and realised the status is already "delivered" on 5/6 (a different location though)???

          I contacted live chat/online team to see what's going on. They say it has been returned back to Telstra as (again) they have problem with authentication. Q: What about my refund? As there is no information of it being returned… A: it'll be processed 24-48hrs from now…

          It might be me the only unlucky one. so much time wasted for nothing :'(

          (sorry but from this experience I prefer Optus over Telstra on this one, at least I don't have to provide all of my details merely just for purchasing)

  • nickj on 28/05/2015 - 16:21

    The good: I got my $30 starter kit today, delivered by startrack, one day after ordering. The SIM expiry is Feb 2017.

    The bad: Still nothing showing in the "my rewards" section of the cashrewards site and no tracking email (and yes, I logged in, clicked the cashrewards link, bought, and was done). My first time using cashrewards and I know it's not been the 7 days following the purchase, but 2 people above already got a tracking email, and this deal really needs the cashback to work to make it attractive, so personally I'm holding off on buying any more until if/when the cashback at least starts tracking in their system.

  • zzyss on 29/05/2015 - 16:21
    +3

    I took one for the team and put through a 2nd transaction through CashRewards. Will let you know if I get the confirmation e-mail.

    At least if this 2nd one doesn't work it's still $22 for $60 credit, still good (better than iTunes card discounts!)

    • zzyss on 01/06/2015 - 10:19

      OK, 2nd order has arrived this morning but no Cashrewards confirmation e-mail this time. So looks like it's a once-only thing.

        Whilst I have not done a 2nd transaction, my initial transaction did not trigger an email. I logged into my account and the $8 is pending. Did you try accessing your cash rewards account?

        • zzyss on 01/06/2015 - 17:45
          +1

          Yes, still just the one. I did get an email the first time around prior to receiving the SIM pack.

        • samlor on 02/06/2015 - 16:42

          @zzyss: Thanks for "taking one for the team". I missed out on $2 because the cashback is now $10. Anyway, I wonder if the one cashback limit is per Telstra order or per cashback scheme because then buying another through a different one like PricePal that also offers $10 back https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/196680 would provide a way to buy an additional kit for $5. If you can be bothered registering. I am already registered but the minimum cashback payment amount is $20.

        • samlor on 02/06/2015 - 17:11

          As it turns out you can select "No minimum" instead of the default $20 for Minimum Payout in PricePal so I went ahead and ordered a second kit for $15 and received the order/payment confirmation email from Telstra. Will hope and wait to see if I get $10 back.

          EDIT: And, according to this comment https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/196680#comment-2795756 cashback may be payable from PricePal for more than one kit/transaction though I'd wait for confirmation before buying more. Anyone else want to take another for the team?

          @samlor:

          Huh. I guess karma kicked in. Checked my CR account today to see that the 2nd $8 cashback is now recorded. Oh well, everybody's abandoned for Pricepal anyway :-P

          I'm one of their Founding members so already have an account with them and an outstanding balance even, but I think I've got enough Telstra credit for now :-)

        • samlor on 03/06/2015 - 13:46

      I bought 2, I couldn't see anything saying there was a limit - its said ◦Rewards are payable on eligible purchases - so I assume by purchases means you can do more than 1 but not sure. I emailed them but don't know if it will work or not

    It's say $12 cashback now. :)

    I purchased 2 this morning, does anyone know if cashrewards will still provide the $12?
