      Can only order one at a time.

      • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 03/06/2015 - 13:07

        Thanks roughana - it appears it's per order, which probably makes sense as the cashback would track on an order. We are waiting for confirmation from merchant.

      Just letting you know that we've received official confirmation that it is per ORDER not per starter pack, as most people here expected

  • ourcom on 03/06/2015 - 10:45

    Hi PricePalTeam
    I clicked Op's referal link but it doesn't let me sign up.
    Can you please help?

    • roughana on 03/06/2015 - 11:56

      More detail about what happens may allow someone else to help you.

    • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 03/06/2015 - 13:05

      Can you please send us an email to [email protected] and we'll work with you to figure out what's happening. thanks

    Can the PricePal rep please confirm if I need to install the PricePal WEB APP to get the $20 buddy bonus for myself? I don't exactly want to install the app if i don't have to for security issues.

    • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 03/06/2015 - 13:13

      Hey, no you don't have to download it as a referrer, but the person being referred needs to download in order for both of you to get the credit. (the web browser extension is not malware, it's safe and tested, and has been white-listed by major security software providers). Hope that makes sense?

      • 1bargain on 03/06/2015 - 13:44

        Hi,
        If I join up and buy the starter pack and also get the $20 referral bonus, what can I do with this bonus? I wouldn't want to go through the whole thing then having to spend $1000's to use the bonus as stated by cniminc.

        Is this bonus a credit on future purchases, what's the minimum amount to use this bonus and when can I use it. I need to know this before signing up.

        • pyramid on 03/06/2015 - 13:49

          Now you need to shop something via pricepal which can give you $20 cashback.

  • pyramid on 03/06/2015 - 13:11

    @PricePal rep : Your referral bonus thing is not as good as it sounds. I got some amount in my account as referral bonus and now i need to shop for at least few thousand dollars to get my bonus in my bank account.

    I think i should have read referral program properly before posting about referral bonus in OP.

    • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 03/06/2015 - 13:16

      Hey @cniminc, what it effectively does is doubles your cashback rate, we were hoping that was a pretty attractive offer.

      • pyramid on 03/06/2015 - 13:20

        True but it also reflects that one needs to accumulate cashback to get referral converted in bank account. So if i don't need to buy anything from pricepal but if i keep referring friends to buy from pricepal, i accumulate bonus which is useless.

        So bottom line is, if you keep referring people to pricepal but do not buy anything for yourself, your bonus won't have any value.

        • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 03/06/2015 - 15:58

          That's correct cniminc, very well put. If you're planning on earning cashback anyway, then it's a pretty nice bonus for not much effort. If you're not planning on earning cashback, then it's probably not worth referring… (but I suppose you wouldn't be referring in the first place anyway!)

        • pyramid on 03/06/2015 - 16:01

          @PricePalTeam: I would refer someone if he/she wants to buy and get some cashback. Its not that i don't refer someone if i don't plan to use referral bonus.

        • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 03/06/2015 - 16:06

          @cniminc: Gotcha :)

    • 1bargain on 03/06/2015 - 13:19

      Can you post the T&C for the referral program here? I can't find anything because I'm not registered yet.

    • MadMaxBargainRoad on 03/06/2015 - 15:22

      Argh, I signed up with Pricepal because of the $20 referral credit (using your referral link btw cniminc). Does this mean that $20 credit I got won't be converted to cash until I spend few thousand bucks? If that's the case I will just cancel the purchase and account. >_<

      • pyramid on 03/06/2015 - 15:24
        +1

        Bottom line is you'll need to have $20 cash back in your price pal account to convert your $20 referral bonus to bank balance.

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 03/06/2015 - 15:29

          That's lame. Well, since I already purchased the SIM can rep at least confirm that I will get $10 as referral bonus?

        • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 03/06/2015 - 15:54

          @maxhu: PS - send us a PM with your account email address and we'll be able to sort something out

      • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 03/06/2015 - 15:53

        Hi maxhu, the bonus gets allocated as you earn the cashback. So if for example, you spend $100 and earn $5 cashback tomorrow, we'll credit that purchase with a bonus $5. So you've earned $10 cashback instead of $5. If you were to earn another $15 cashback next week, we'd credit you with a bonus $15. If the cashback rate is say 5%, then you'd earn the full $20 bonus after $400 spend. Hope this helps clarify :)

  • roughana on 03/06/2015 - 15:03

    Email received from Telstra re delivery:

    Thanks for placing your order with the Telstra Online Shop – order no. PPSxxxxxxx.

    It’s on its way
    We've processed your order and it will be arriving soon. Our courier will deliver it to the address you gave us or, if that's not possible, to your local Post Office. You can track the delivery of your order online.

    Security check
    You'll need to provide valid ID (e.g. driver's licence, passport) to the courier to complete the security check. If you paid for your new phone, tablet or other device when you ordered it, for additional security you’ll need to provide the same photo ID you used when you purchased online. Once the courier confirms your photo ID you can take delivery of your order.

    What if you’re not available?
    The courier will deliver your package to your local Post Office and leave you a calling card with the details. You have 10 days to collect your order, otherwise the Post Office will return it to our depot.

    Remember you’ll need to provide the necessary photo ID at the Post Office to complete the security check.

    • iamtezr on 03/06/2015 - 15:16

      Bought a couple yesterday with the $10 cashback. Arrived today. Had to send a photo of my drivers licence to the missus to show the postman proof of id.

      Pretty fast delivery. Arrived via StarTrack

      • Kenb0 on 03/06/2015 - 16:34

        ya, that's going to be annoying. I have a concierge at my apartment building who usually handles all my deliveries for me, they won't have my drivers licence…

  • illumination on 03/06/2015 - 19:51

    To be honest from my experience so far, I find PricePal to be much more unreliable than CashRewards when it comes to tracking transactions.
    I've made at least 5 transactions using PricePal and so far I've had only one recorded.

    I wonder if I'm doing it/using it wrong? According to the add-on you don't need to do anything. Just shop as normal…

    • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 03/06/2015 - 22:57

      Hi illumination, if you PM us your account email address, we'd be very happy to look into the missing transactions and help you track them down!

    • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2015 - 14:06

      No sign of mine having been recorded either after 2 days. Already received the sim.

      • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 04/06/2015 - 14:10

        Hi wxyz234, it can take 2-3 days to record. If you haven't received an email from PricePal by tomorrow, can you send an email to [email protected] and let us know your order numbers (or just forward receipt) and we'll look into these for you. thanks

  • philart on 04/06/2015 - 10:47

    My wife and me bought two each through cash rewards, my account has been flagged 1x$8 and 1x$12 pending the missus has 2x$8. Anyone getting the same thing. I understood the offer was $12 cashback.

  • mrshorty on 04/06/2015 - 15:43

    ive accepted a pricepal offer: Get An Extra $1 For Every $2 Cashback Earned - which I think would mean I should get $15 cashback for this

    When does 48 hours for the pricepal/telstra cashback offer end?

    • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 04/06/2015 - 17:17

      Hi mrshorty, the $10 cashback offer will be extended until end of the week due to popular demand. The Telstra 50% off deal runs til end of the month. Re the $1 for Every $2 bonus, unfortunately that doesn't apply to bonus rates and the Telstra offer is a bonus rate. However, PM us your PricePal email address and we might be able to sort something out!

      • pyramid on 04/06/2015 - 17:20

        Would you be able to provide exact date and time of expiry so that i can update the Post.
        Also, why can't you offer special bonus to everyone?

        • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 04/06/2015 - 17:42

          Hi cniminc, literally a few minutes ago we were informed that the 50% off offer has been unexpectedly & indefinitely taken down by Telstra, until further notice. This means PricePal's cashback offer also needs to be removed indefinitely. We're sorry for the news, but happy that we could promote it while it was live for a few days, and we'll let you know once it's back. Thanks for keeping the post updated, much appreciated!

        • pyramid on 04/06/2015 - 18:15

          @PricePalTeam: I'll mark this expired.

      • mrshorty on 04/06/2015 - 17:45

        PM sent - strange because the offer for the Get An Extra $1 For Every $2 Cashback offer said it applies to ALL store and ALL categories

        If you could look into it that would be fab!

  • mr kindface on 04/06/2015 - 16:32

    I did a stoopid… activated the sim on my computer on the Long Life plan without thinking, and the wifi wasn't working on the phone, so by the time I'd opened up google play on it to try buying an app, all the credit was gone. :'(

    • iamtezr on 05/06/2015 - 13:32

      dam.. but it's $2/MB (charged in kb) so you should have had at least 15MB to kill before the credit ran out.

      • mr kindface on 05/06/2015 - 13:39

        Yeah in my usage it says I used 15mb.. just by signing into my google account (it kept failing) and opening google play. Oh well, only $3 down the drain as long as the cashback comes through, fingers crossed.

  • Perete on 05/06/2015 - 13:36

    My order and wife's have been cancelled. I probably have more than 5 sims already which some I haven't used anymore after the 1st month. Fair enough. But my wife however only has 2. Still they cancelled hers.

    • CacheHunter on 07/06/2015 - 07:11

      Telstra has also instructed Startrack to recall all undelivered kits - see my post below.

  • iamtezr on 05/06/2015 - 13:37

        yeah noticed. haha.
        edited the post before anyone else can see it. =P
        looks like you didn't refresh your page or maybe i wasn't fast enough.

  • CacheHunter on 06/06/2015 - 21:56

    I placed two orders as part of this offer. Startrack attempted delivery of two sims -one on Thursday and one on Friday. I wasn't home to sign for them, so they left a card with my wife so I could pick them up from the local post office.

    This morning (Sat) I got to the post office to discover that telstra had reclaimed the sims on Friday afternoon and they had been sent back. Tried ringing startrack and telstra, but no answer because it's the weekend.

    Have others had their orders cancelled and sim kits returned at telstra's request as part of this offer?

    • pyramid on 06/06/2015 - 22:01

      Thats dodgy telstra. My 2 sims are still waiting at post office for pickup. I guess i need to pick them up on Tuesday at earliest.

      • CacheHunter on 07/06/2015 - 07:30

        I didn't find out that mine had been recalled until I got to the post office, so might be worth a call if it's a hard to get there - taking shows it has been picked up from the post office by Startrack.

        I'll be calling Telstra and Startrack on Tuesday. If I don't get the kits, I'll be sending telstra an invoice for my wasted time and petrol going to the post office to collect something that they failed to deliver.

  • iceshadow on 07/06/2015 - 17:34

    Has everyone who placed an order via PricePal received their $10 cashback? I'm still waiting on mine to appear on the "cashback Activity" page.

          Some of us had orders cancelled to provide ID.
          Some of us had orders recalled to base to prevent delivery (I have no idea why) - that were subsequently delivered after contacting Telstra about why the delivery failed.

      • Store RepPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 29/07/2015 - 12:16

        Hi, sorry to hear about that. Unfortunately we don't have any involvement in the retailer's orders, we're really just a click-through. Your best bet is to email/call them with a follow-up enquiry. Hope it happens soon for you!
