PLEASE READ the Deal carefully before you purchase. Feel free to ask questions in the comments or via pm

The voucher will work on any amaysim Unlimited 5GB Plan. Its just a normal recharge so its not attached to the $2 SIM. The voucher will have a 12 month expiry.

You can get 5% off Big W eGift Card from groupon (Can be used at woolworths) to use with the deal

Here is an image of the Amaysim $2 SIM Pack Barcode Sold at Woolies for those who cant find any stock thanks to jonathonsunshine :

From page 24 of the catalogue, see Guy Incognito's post

Options for 12 months Prepaid Service (Cheapest in Australia)

Option 1: You have an amaysim Service and want to get one years worth of recharge (Total Cost $238.80)

This will cost you $19.90 X 12 = $238.80 ( or $226.90 with 5% off wish GC's)

Approach the service desk and ask for the offer. Some attendants will be happy to sell you 12 vouchers and some wont. So be prepared to potentially make a few trips, i find the night staff are more helpful than day staff.
Remember that every recharge will cost you $19.90 ($2 for sim pack and $17.90 for recharge). If you have no use for the multiple $2 sim packs, ask the attendant to use the same one. Then return it so other people can have a chance.
You can apply all the vouchers at once to your amaysim account and it will automatically deduct one every month.

Option 2: Buy 2 months amaysim Unlimited 5GB from Groupon for $29 and 10 months of recharge. (Total cost $225)

This will cost you $29 + $19.90 X 10 = $228 ( or ~ $218 with 5% off wish GC's)

  • Buy 2 months amaysim Unlimited from Groupon.
  • Groupon will email you a code to redeem at amaysim website.

Option 3: Buy 1st month Unlimited from Amaysim Directly using code SAVE60 and Buy 11 Recharge Vouchers. (Total cost $236.90)

This will cost you $17.96 + $19.90 X 11 = $236.90 ( or $225.90 with 5% off wish GC's)

Link to deal https://www.amaysim.com.au/mobile-plans/unlimited-5gb

Option 4: You wish to activate the $2 sim bought from Woolworths + buy 11 recharge vouchers (Total cost $236.90)

This will cost you $17.96 + $19.90 X 11 = $236.90 ( or $225.90 with 5% off wish GC's)

  • Go to this Link and it will take you to the SIM activation page
  • Click on Activate a mobile plan or data plan and proceed.

Applying recharge vouchers to your amaysim account

You can apply all the vouchers at once. With this method, the system will deduct one voucher per month (up to the number of vouchers entered).
As far as i know you can enter up to 12 vouchers at once (But please confirm with amaysim customer care if you want to enter more than 12 vouchers)

You can also enter one voucher per month. Please note the expiry date of vouchers will be ~ 12 months.

Use one of these methods to enter the voucher to your account

  • Via amaysim Android or iOS Apps
  • Via your amaysim Online account
  • Text VOU followed by the voucher number to 568 (i.e if voucher number is 123456, text VOU123456 to 568)
  • Call 555 and follow the prompts

Using this deal with Data Packs (i.e. 10GB Yearly Plan)

This may work recharging 10GB plans by contacting amaysim CSR directly.
Some have reported being able to apply the voucher as credit in my previous deal here. Although this will depend on the amaysim customer service representative.

However, amaysim are currently running a 30% off data promo using promo code SAVE30. You will be able to get the 10GB Yearly plan for ~ $70. Please note that with Data Plans, you will not get a referral credit.

EDIT 1: as per this comment , some woolworths have recharges enabled at self service.

EDIT 2: as per this Comment, there is no limit on how many recharges you can add to your amaysim prepaid account, as confirmed by amaysim customer service

EDIT 3: Townhall and Wynyard Woolworths (SYD) are only selling one per customer as per here and here

    So since I am already on $44.90 5Gb which I get charged to my CC monthly, by using the recharge voucher, it will automatically stop my cc getting debited every month?

    And do I recharge all of the voucher at one go or do it monthly?

    Last question, to confirm, I grab seven $2 simpacks, bring them to self check-out for recharge. Why do I need to get the wollies staff to authorise the recharge?

      So since I am already on $44.90 5Gb which I get charged to my CC monthly, by using the recharge voucher, it will automatically stop my cc getting debited every month?

      Change payment to Bpay

      And do I recharge all of the voucher at one go or do it monthly?

      You can enter them in your account all in one go, or monthly. If you enter them all in one go, it will deduct one voucher per month until remaining vouchers on account are all used

      Last question, to confirm, I grab seven $2 simpacks, bring them to self check-out for recharge. Why do I need to get the wollies staff to authorise the recharge?

      With woolies, i think you need to go to service desk for recharges. The discount will be done automatically as long as its one recharge per sim card

      • lostboi on 04/08/2015 - 00:26

        note: deal states one per person. you may be able to convince the server to sell you more tho

        • easternculture on 04/08/2015 - 00:28

          or as i stated in the OP

          So be prepared to potentially make a few trips, i find the night staff are more helpful than day staff.

  • KupoHo on 04/08/2015 - 08:27

    Sorry dumb question but Because you have to get a $2 sim for each recharge does that mean your number changes each month? Been waiting to port out of Vaya and this seems the perfect deal!

    • easternculture on 04/08/2015 - 09:58

      The $2 sim card is just so the system can automatically apply the discount on the amaysim recharge.

      But the amaysim recharge voucher is just a normal recharge voucher and will work on any amaysim unlimited 5GB plan

      • KupoHo on 04/08/2015 - 13:08

    Hi guys
    Just bought 6 recharge vouchers from woolies but also had to buy 6 x $2 SIMs as well (it only discounted one when I tried to buy multiple vouchers on the same sim). I bought the recharge vouchers at the checkout but the $2 SIM cards are located near the gift cards area.

    • aec on 05/08/2015 - 14:12

      self checkout?

      • tarken on 05/08/2015 - 14:23

        No this was over the counter

  • debauched sloth on 05/08/2015 - 09:34

    Bought 6, as the expiry date on the vouchers was 8/2/16. Not sure if that means that you can only apply 6 months worth of vouchers?

    • debauched sloth on 05/08/2015 - 11:39

      Edit: checkout gave me incorrect voucher. Fortunately I caught it as I was applying it. Had the same problem as below. Only refunds $25 as opposed to $27, store had to refund the rest. Voucher expiry also extended to 29/7/16

  • TENNEE on 05/08/2015 - 09:42

    anyone been charged $2 for the sim card, $44.90 for recharge, and $25 discount,

    so in total it isn't $19.90 but $21.90?

    • Mikeee on 05/08/2015 - 11:12

      I had the same issue as well – tell them and they will refund the $2

  • jonathonsunshine on 05/08/2015 - 11:56

    Just bought 4, first one activated with android app, the other 3 say invalid voucher number. Tried texting them to 568 but says taking longer than usual to activate?

    Anyone else had any issues?

    • pyramid on 05/08/2015 - 11:56

      Get online with amaysim CSR and they should be able to sort this out quickly.

    • jonathonsunshine on 05/08/2015 - 12:02

      Got it sorted (sort off), did it through the mobile website and went through fine. (Says voucher is stacked for future use).

  • tendliya on 05/08/2015 - 12:10

    Bought 2 sims and 2 vouchers from Melbourne QV woolworths. Bought them at the counter where they sell cigarettes, got charged $21.90 each ($2 sim + $44.90 - $25.00 for the voucher). Told them that it should be $19.90 for the sim and the voucher according to the catalogue. They checked their other screens and it scanned at the correct price. So, they refunded $4.00.

    So, if their system shows $21.90, make sure to bring it to their attention so that they can adjust the price.

  • jonathonsunshine on 05/08/2015 - 12:33

    Thanks to easternculture, i have sorted out mobile plan for another 12months for myself, brother in law & wife. Cant wait to get my number ported using the groupon $29 for 2 months. Was so excited, missed out on the Wohoo code in groupon. Loss of ~$5 is not too bad, considering gain of ~$900 amongst 3 of us.

    For those of you still looking for sims/vouchers, there is still plenty left in glen huntly, carnegie, & malvern. Self scan maxed out at 7 in glen huntly. But i was able to get in 2 transactions. Staff did not seem to mind about how many each can buy, even though i asked if there is any limit on the number.

    Good luck.

    Thanks again OP.

    • aec on 05/08/2015 - 16:55

      • megarch on 05/08/2015 - 17:00

        The supervising staff @ self scan was looking at me in a weird way. Only problem i had was that the machine kept on stating that item was not placed into the bag, the sim pack being too light. Just place it firmly inside the bag or on the steel plate. Or you may have to keep calling the staff few times to authorize it.
        All the best!

        • aec on 05/08/2015 - 17:58

          sorry for being paranoid, you did have to buy one sim card for each voucher, right?

          @alwayseric: yes, i am currently building house of cards with all the sim packs

          take sim packs from gift card area, scan 7 of them, then click recharge, choose amaysim $45, discount will be applied automatically.

          repeat for more sims

  • oblivianz on 05/08/2015 - 21:00

    So I've checked with Amaysim CSR and they've confirmed to me that there is no limit on how many vouchers we are able to load onto the account but to keep the receipts in case. Upon hearing the good news, I went back and bought myself 24 months worth :)

    • Acdc1001 on 05/08/2015 - 22:59

      I also asked Amaysim CSR this morning about the limit of stacking up recharge vouchers. The CSR went away and came back with the advice that there is no limit on how many vouchers could be stacked, however, as they are only valid for 12 months, if you add more than 12 vouchers, any additional vouchers remained after the 12th month would then become expired and of no use.

      • oblivianz on 06/08/2015 - 07:59

        Hmm.. seems like there is a clash of information. My Amaysim CSR told me that the there is no limit on how many vouchers we are able to add to the account and also once it is on the account, there is no longer an expiration date. Expiration date only applies prior to applying the voucher. Likewise the CSR also went away and came back after 10 minutes. I guess all I can do now is cross my fingers and hope for the best.

        • thereisriceandcurry on 06/08/2015 - 14:46

          So guys I have just chat to the amaysim online help and "Mark" has confirmed that there is no expiry on the vouchers once they are loaded onto the system HOWEVER the system will not allow you to load more than 12 aka it will not hold more than 12 at a time.
          I have gotten 6 today which I will load, and then will get another 6 today which I will load. Then, according what amaysim have said, it should be possible to buy another 12, but not load them, untill say 11 months from now, when there should only be 1 left on the system.
          Thoughts?

        • easternculture on 06/08/2015 - 14:52

          @thereisriceandcurry:

          or as each month ends, add a new one

Even though I had used some of them previously. So I'd wary whether you've really for 24 months or not…

    If https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/199814 is still valid, then Option 3 would be even cheaper. Another option perhaps? ;)

  • love86 on 06/08/2015 - 08:36

      Sounds like a good idea, I wouldn't imagine why they wouldn't work

        Damn sorry I accidentally clicked associated with Woolworths..

    • aec on 06/08/2015 - 12:47

      you still need to pay $19.9, right?

      • jonathonsunshine on 06/08/2015 - 12:57

        Yeah. You'll actually be paying $21.90 cause you'd have to buy the simcard twice. You would do this only if your Woolworths were all sold out or they were otherwise being difficult about it at the service desk.

        I sent a photo of the barcode when EasternCulture asked but quite frankly, scanning barcodes off my phone at self checkout seems like something likely to raise eyebrows…

        • aec on 06/08/2015 - 13:11

          the situation here is there are plenty sims in the ww i went(particularly the one at town hall) but self scan does not work. i had to ask the staff to scan for me.

        • jonathonsunshine on 06/08/2015 - 13:16

          @alwayseric:

          Dunno. I hit recharge on the self serve thing, $44.90 voucher, came up at $44.90, scanned one of the sim cards (that i already had) it applied the discount. Then I repeated that 3 times…

          Would have thought the machines were the same every where.

        • SydneySwan on 06/08/2015 - 22:40

          @jonathonsunshine: I did exactly the same at WW in Neutral Bay (the one on the north side of Military Road) and it worked fine. Problems only started occurring after I paid and started printing out the receipt - the paper roll ran out after 2 of the voucher numbers were printed and it took a lot of faffing around to get the last 2 printed out.

    Thanks OP. You are a legend. Got 8 months for now. May get more in the next couple of days.

    Theres some directive about this stickered to the desk directing staff to sell 1 only at the WW service desks

    • jonathonsunshine on 06/08/2015 - 12:12

      the two ive been too, Ipswich and Booval (QLD), they seemed completely oblivious. But now I'm just buying them through the self service checkout and reusing the same simcards. Threw away two of em yesterday, wish id kept them. Buying them in lots of 4 now, 6 would have been nice round number.

        we dint have the same luck in Sydney, at least at the ww i shopped around. i tried the town hall ww jyst now. only allowed 1 per customer. at least this Indian(ish) gir was not like the bitches i met yesterday in wynyard ww.

        in total we have only bought 10 vouchers for 2 of us. have to religiously come back again every weekday:(

        • jonathonsunshine on 06/08/2015 - 12:59

          Just hold onto your sim cards and do it your self at self check out.

          The woollies at Cabramatta will do you good if you can supply your own Amaysim sim card barcode. Managed to buy 24 months worth with 2 sim cards from the shelf through self checkout. The self check out at Cabramatta woollies does not need any confirmation or verification from staff either which makes things easier.

  • jonathonsunshine on 06/08/2015 - 13:00

    Who's taking the hit on this anyhow do you think? Woolworths or Amaysim?

    • Chimpus on 07/08/2015 - 20:07

      I think it's Amaysim, I brought 12 today and the checkout chick at woolies said they don't make any money from selling these vouchers.

    Does anybody know if I buy wish GC following the cashrewards' link, will it be delivered right away in my email-box, or I need to wait 2-4 days, as it's always with groupon deals?
    Thank you!

    • Ametric on 06/08/2015 - 14:02

      Thanks, I've already found an answer
      "Please allow up to 12 hours for delivery of eGift Cards"

      • definitive on 07/08/2015 - 20:02

        I got mine almost instantly. After I got my PayPal receipt, the next email was Groupon.

    Trying to apply vouchers to my account and it keeps saying "*****, did you just try to redeem a voucher? Since you're on postpaid, any charges incurred will be in your monthly bill (no need to recharge - nice)" as I SMS 568.. I think may have to convert account to prepaid first for this to work. Awaiting a response from amaysim help and will post here back when so

    • Ametric on 06/08/2015 - 15:08

      was mentioned earlier, you have to change it to prepaid firstly ;)

        Ah, sorry. I thought I had read through everything. Someone had mentioned you have to change to BPAY and so did that, but thought it might need to also be prepaid. Thanks for the reply, on to it :)

  • SydneySwan on 06/08/2015 - 16:31

    I have loaded first voucher onto my Amyasim account - system said it is stacked for future use. How can you see the 'stacked' vouchers on my Amayasim?

    • InfamousCalf on 06/08/2015 - 19:56

      Under 'My Plan & Data' it says how many saved vouchers you have.

      Not sure where else, adding the vouchers again tells me its successful and stacked.
