Optus $50 Bonus Sim - How to Maximise Value

I bought an Optus IPhone SE prepaid for a relative which comes with a $50 ‘bonus sim’. Anyone any experience with this? I haven’t opened the packaging yet. How can you activate the credit and how long is it valid for? My folks are visiting from overseas for 6 weeks so was hoping this would last for more than 30 days (they will not use more than 500Mb and hardly any calls).

      Already checked that out obviously, my question is regarding the credit that comes with the phone ($50 bonus credit), not my recharge options.

      • Your 2 options are…

        $50 for 25 days

        OR

        $50 for up to 1000MB and/or up to 250 mins and/or up to 250 Messages for 186 days…

        • Thanks. I thought those options would only be available when recharging but if you’re saying you can pick and choose when activating the sim as well, that’s great. You can slam your head into your desk, but I think the wording ‘$50 bonus sim’ (makes it sound as if you were getting 2 sims) and ‘$50 bonus credit’ can be interpreted in many ways.

        • @bozbargain: Sorry, must've passed out from blood loss…

          Haven't you activated an Optus SIM before?

        • @NGPriest: No, I have not. Have been on post paid plans for more than 10 years.
