  • "The minimum spend for each coupon code is $150 in a single transaction excluding any vouchers, offers, discounts and delivery charges"

    Does this mean I need a basket of $180+ before I can use the voucher?

    • No

  • +3

    Voucher valid to: 30 Sep 2017 (11:59pm AEST)
    I am still trying to work out how to get up to a $120 purchase for the last voucher :(
    It does not seem to exclude Alcohol - does it?

    • +1

      You live alone too, are you frugal like me :) ?

      • +1

        Oops, does it show?

        • if your single and lurk the supermarket aisles like you lurk ozbargain, then these deals don't seem much good even if buying in bulk… along with some online purchase quantity limits, buying online one tends to miss the instore specials, especially the product dumps or insidious capitalisation of a liberally monopolised captive fiefdom economy ummmm, "shelf rationalisations" where huge reductions can be have.

    • sorry newbie here, do we need to have a minimum purchase or something. I saw ur post and one above it talking about minimum spend. what is that about? and why is this in groceries section?

      • I think because of the Woolworths - $150 spend

  • @MrBourdain

    No you don't.

  • Yay, it's back! Great deal, going backwards and forwards between promotions.

  • +2

    spend $120 for $150 value …. (minus the groupon charge its actually $125 cost)

  • Thank you! Picked up three :)

  • Can we still get cashrewards ($20) as new customer?

    • No, based on my experience as you have used a voucher (from Groupon) not listed on CR site.

      • But i paid minimum $100 by egiftcard?

        • My apologies, I thought you were referring to the Amaysim cash back.

          I have no knowledge of the Woolworths cash back in this case.
          :(

  • Does anyone has experience with using the Amaysim voucher on an existing account or existing number? Trying to grab a decent deal for the in-laws who's gonna be here for 6 months.

    • yes works perfectly.

      Used my existing account details for activating the previous groupon amaysim deal

      • Hi EC, can you please list a brief step by step guide? I currently have a number with Amaysim, does that mean I have to get a new number and activate on that? Thanks.

      • +1

        Even I would like to use this on existing account but it says "Not to be used in conjunction with an existing amaysim service"?

      • do you leave auto renew setting on if you are using the voucher?

        also can you use up all your internet quota? because it says it will auto charge 10 dollars per Gb after you finish your data.

        • change recharge method to voucher to avoid additional charge (default is credit card)

        • @mohan76:

          when going though signup page it kept giving me errors if i selected voucher instead of creditcard at signup so i selected CC but signup page will not let me put my expiry date in properly or just sits at almost there…. i assume it wont let me signup now its past 5pm or something.

      • How does it work? It says clearly "Valid for new amaysim customers only"

        • -1

          previous deal worked with me with a new number on my existing amaysim login

        • ah ok, so you gotta get a new number for this…

      • Even I would like to know

    • No mobile carrier allows porting of an old number with the carrier to another SIM card of the same carrier. If this was possible, then people would buy 10's of discounted starter kits and keep using the same until expiry date, without ever paying the full bill amount.

      Common sense, mate.

      • What are you talking about lol? That's completely different from what I said.

        • Does anyone has experience with using the Amaysim voucher on an existing account or existing number? Trying to grab a decent deal for the in-laws who's gonna be here for 6 months.

          Matey, all I meant is that you can't use the voucher for the EXISTING Amaysim number. You can use it for existing Amaysim account but you will get a new number - you can't port your old Amaysim number to the new Amaysim SIM. If you have some other carrier's number, then obviously porting will work fine. I hope it now reads more as an answer to what you asked for?

  • So… $39 for the entire 6 months for the amaysim deal?

    • +2

      yes

      • Hi if you could be so kind to clarify for a simpleton like me.

        It's just like pre-paid month by month phone plan with 2gb per month and unlimited calls right?
        But with the voucher instead of billing each month, it uses the voucher?
        So total after 6 months it only costs $39?

      • The offer says that Groupon offer is to be "redeemed by 17th Aug" to order Amaysim SIM but doesn't say by which date the the SIM should be activated. Can you please confirm this?

        • +1

          When you redeem it, you have to choose whether you're getting a new number or porting in an existing number. If you choose a new number, the sim will be activated at the time it is sent out - ie you will lose a few days of the credit expiry while it's in transit.

          If you choose to port in an existing number, the sim will NOT be activated when they send it out. You will need to wait for the sim to come, log in and start the porting process and that's when the sim will be activated. I'm not sure if there's a maximum waiting period for this though (to account for transit time).

        • @EVA-01:

          Thanks. I understand that. My question was more about the maximum waiting time allowed before which we can activate SIM. Say if I want to purchase SIM now but activate only after 6 months, can it be done? Many mobile companies allow it as typical validity is 1 yr. It is not mentioned anywhere in case of Amaysim.

        • @virhlpool: simple answer is No. You have to use the Groupon code (which is an Amaysim Promo code) on registration and you have to choose either getting a new number or porting. You can't hold on to the sim to register later unlike ones you get from a supermarket.

        • +1

          @EVA-01: Well, again Groupon isn't in picture here. I am referring to the stage past Groupon. Just to clarify, below are typical steps:

          1) You placed an order on Groupon
          2) Received a Groupon voucher using which you placed an order for SIM on Amaysim
          3) While doing #2, you decided to port the existing number and not take the new number.
          4) You receive Amaysim SIM and now you can initiate porting WHENEVER you want.
          5) Once porting happens, your clock for 6 months renewal will start.

          My question is about 'Whenever' in # 4 above - does it have to be a week or a month or a few months and how many exactly from the date of SIM purchase? Your answer is 'no' but it doesn't quantify or explain anything.

        • +1

          @virhlpool:

          I'm not sure if there's a maximum waiting period for this though (to account for transit time).

          That's exactly referring to your #4. I know some Telco will start porting automatically after a certain period of time (1-2 weeks?). And you have not mentioned your desire to Port in previous comments hence I tried to lay out both scenarios. Perhaps asking an Amaysim CSR Is the way to go. Last time I did it with Amaysim I waited almost two weeks (from ordering) before I started porting.

        • @EVA-01: Just asked and they said no time limit on when to port.

        • @nghori: Amazing if that's true. That way I can use Amaysim offer for nearly 6 months (6x28 days). Then I can go for any cheapish non-Amaysim offer for a month and then again port back to Amaysim with another 6 months (6x28 days) offer. Isn't it?

        • @virhlpool: If the Amaysim offer is still valid. You could also use a cheap $1/$2 sim to port straight back

  • +1

    Do the renewals have an expiry date? Can we just hold them and keep stacking them after one 6 month renewal ends

    • +2

      Username checks out! :)

    • i dont think you could as you have to redeem the groupon voucher by 17th of August, still good deal for next 6 months only $6.50 p/m and then just wait for new deals next year.

      • You can redeem Groupon but not activate SIM until after 6 months (6x28 days). No?

  • +1

    I know I may get a neg lol but what do I do after 6 months?

    • +2

      port out to the next cheapest deal

      • I know but what if theres none at the time. I guess I could port to some normal plan and then keep waiting until theres a good deal then

        • That is way I use two phones. One has a 365 day $15 on it with my normal number and the other is the one that I just use whenever there is a special on.
          hat way I keep my number for freind's/family to contact me on and use the other one when I need to make calls/sms/data.

    • Jeenee Mobile $9.90 plan if it is still around.

  • I paid through groupon for the sim, got nothing but a paypal receipt in email. Do they send me code to use on amaysim website or does sim get sent to me?

    • +1

      Click on your voucher in your amaysim account (it's in PDF)

      It will be a combination of 6 to 7 numbers & letters

      • Thank you sir, got it figured out and put the order through. Just in time, I've been waiting for another one of these deals! 😊

  • Can I buy it now activate sim after 13th Aug as my current prepaid runs till 13th Aug?

    • Should be ok

      Redeem by thu 17th august

  • can i buy wish gift cards so i can actually spent in the shop?

  • is the Amaysim deal postpaid or prepaid?

    • Excess data charged at $0.072/MB or $10/1GB
    • Note that service will auto-renew on a 28-day basis after the Groupon promo code finishes, normal prices will apply: $25 for Unlimited 2GB. If you do not wish to continue your amaysim service it must be cancelled according to the instructions outlined at www.amaysim.com.au/help/mobile/manage-account/cancel-mobile-…

    • Prepaid

      • +3

        Nope - you get asked to choose either postpaid or prepaid upon activation of SIM. Disadvantage with postpaid is that they automatically add $10/1GB pack (which is obviously overpriced) to your account as soon as you use up initial 2GB data available on the plan. You don't have much control over it and can't stop this being added, NOR add it in advance manually. With prepaid you have this control, so prepaid is better in my opinion. All other terms and inclusions are same, no matter you choose prepaid or postpaid.

        • My Groupon code won't apply until I picked Postpaid. :(

        • +1

          @scupper: If that's true then they have gotten smart. In the worst case, you can go for postpaid now and request customer care team to change it to prepaid at the end of the first bill cycle. Knowing their customer service and availability of the concerned team, it is a bit of a task though.

  • Thanks OP I grabbed two

  • -2

    This is the thing that's made me leave amaysim I think. I've been with them for ages but they just keep taking money and now they do it at a smaller interval and only new customers are given any incentive or bonus. If I wasn't an existing customer I'd be able to get a great deal but instead I can't without porting out or signing up a new number. Eat a dick, amaysim.

    • Eat a dick, amaysim.

      No vulgar language on public forum, please.

      • -2

        Ease up man. Report it and move on. No need to preach.

  • +1

    Hi OP, will this plan also include the unlimited international Standard calls to 10 countries as per plan listed on their website?

    https://www.amaysim.com.au/plans/mobile-plans

    tempted to get this for my folks.

    • Well, it will if it's listed as one of the inclusions for this plan on Amaysim website. I would ignore the Groupon description as it's not perfect.

  • +3

    OP, Groupon offer is to be redeemed by 17th Aug, but what's the deadline before which the SIM needs to be activated? It's not mentioned anywhere.. can you get it clearly mentioned on offer page please?

    Also, "unlimited international calls to 10 countries" doesn't appear anywhere on Groupon page while I guess it's a standard inclusion in the plan. Does anyone QA Groupon offer page before it gets published?

    If you aren't a Groupon representative, please take liberty to reach out to them for these fixes as they are very important.

  • Can someone confirm that this amaysim deal has unlimited international calls to 10 countires, esp anyone who has got this deal and is using it?
    ta

  • this is honestly getting ridiculous!
    Why would not one sim-hop at these prices!!!
    Are the Telco's just such number-tarts they will sim-hop-to-sell (SHTS) their product rather than reward their captive monopolised serfs loyal customers with truly competitive plans…

  • AMAYSIM WEBSITE CRASHES WHEN CHOOSING VOUCHER.

    I purchased Groupon voucher $39, followed instruction to order sim card, on AMAYSIM's website, chose Prepaid(so they don't charge excess data) and then entered voucher code. All good, showed me 6 months prepaid. Then under payment option there is Credit Card or Voucher, I clicked 'Voucher' option as I didn't want to provide bank card details and then when clicking the order button, the website gave an error 'Something went wrong….'.

    Anyone in the same boat? The only way to proceed is to enter your banking details with them.

    • Click credit card and process order.

      Then once sim is sent, change to Voucher/BPAY

      You need to use credit card when ordering a SIM

      • Awesome Sauce. Thx.

  • How strict are they in the definition of "new customer"? I just ported out from Amaysim two weeks ago to the $1 Kogan deal. Looking at porting back in to this deal. All while keeping the same number.

    • not strict

      they just want your moula

  • sorry newbie here, do we need to have a minimum purchase or something. I saw a couple of posts talking about minimum spend. what is that about? and why is this in groceries section?

  • Can this Amaysim deal stack with Cashrewards for new customers?

  • Sorry if this is s stupid question, but on the web page it asks for number porting details straight up. Normally I don't do this until after I receive / insert the Sim?

    Will they try to port the number straight away or does that only happen after I insert the new sim once mailed? I was planning on ordering sim now and then installing about 10 days into next month when my daughters current Sim is about to finish.

    • In my experience with Amaysim, you select porting at sign-up, wait for the sim to come, THEN you start the actual porting request when you activate that sim card. So simply put, no they don't port before you have the sim.

  • are there any offers on the 5G 30$ plan

  • I have already purchased the coupon, but can anyone help me with below query -
    If I order sim today with new amaysim number, can I activate it later before 17th Aug and then keep my original number? I believe it would require me to activate the sim, when amaysim simcard arrvies, and at that time I can port my original number to amaysim. (I am confused, if coupon will be associated to number selected during purchase?)
    Or while ordering amaysim number would be activated and I won't be able to port my original number?

  • +1

    Right i just activated my plan from the previous 6 x 28days deal today however it seems like i won't be getting the full 6 x 28 days…
    my valid to is 3rd December and i spoke to them and she credit my 24.90. this still leaves me 15 days short of 168 days.
    customer support insist its about 6 renewals not how many days.

    ''its really when you sign up with us, the promotion will run and begin, however as I mention, you are still entitled for the 6 free renewals. with regards to the expiry to the plan we cant really extend it as it will start once you sign up with us.''

    is CS correct?

  • One of my friend tried to redeem it and got charged 25 dollars. Anyone had similar issues or he messed up ?

  • Now for $35.10 with Coupon ENJOY10. Ends midnight.

    • Doesnt work, any other coupon ?

  • Does anyone know how soon I can join amaysim back? Asking because I had amaysim number and before I move to any other provider I had purchased this plan.

    Now I want to know if I can join amaysim back in just 2-3 days or should I wait more time? Any one experienced in this matter?

    • Have you tried?
      i m planning to do the same. Not sure if this will work too

  • cashrewards $40?

  • Ordered, Thanks Op. Remember Cashrewards 5% off!

  • Can i still buy the amaysim promo? What if the sim comes after aug 17? Thanks

    • You will get code straight away online and can then use it to order the SIM. The ordering of the SIM has to happen before 17th.

      • Thanks!

  • I've ordered. When it says "6 X 28 Day Renewals", at the end of the first 28 days… do you need to do anything? Or will it automatically start the 2nd renewal…?

  • does anyone know what's the minimum period to stay with the service provider before we port out again ?

    • No minimum in the T&C so port out when ever. If you port out before the plan ends then you miss out on the rest of the included days/weeks.

      • Thanks for the reply. I ported out to Telstra 2 days ago on Day2day plan , can I port out again after 2-3 days of port in ?
        Amaysim to Telstra to Amaysim (all within 1 week)
