Not as good as the recent amaysim/catch/ovo deals through Cashreward/shopback but may be of interest to someone

I think the sim is $10 and includes $40 credit, but the subsequent recharges will be $20 to get the 25gb bonus.
I should have taken a pic of the sign in store. It was $10 instead of $40. The link doesn't reflect the offer (was in a rush)
Edited the post to mention in-store only, I believe.
Good lord, the regular price is $40 for 3gb?!
That must be the most uncompetitive plan on the market.
Perhaps I crossed my eyes and it was $20 as someone above mentioned, which is consistent with the offer in the link. Looks like it's otherwise $40/10gb. I'll edit the post
Ok, sounds about right.
$10 starts tomorrow. It's on the catalogue. You only get 3GB after purchase unless you recharge 3 times more (to get bonus 25GB).

I read it as 25GB bonus for each of the 3 recharges.
Maybeyou are right. It does not matter. SIM Pros never recharge anyway.
Perfect, I tried to get nbn, technician came and told me '' I can't activate your line, can't give you a time line for when we will fix it''… I' m going to be a sim card tamer
Impressive! But most sim would have less than a year expiry date, would you use all of them before the are unusable?
With the right bargain I suppose it would be cheaper to be a hopper than going for nbn (unless you use a lot of Netflix or download heaps of games)
With Belong self-referrals I don't think SIM-hopping is necessary anymore (…for now), assuming you have a second phone, 4g dongle or dual SIM phone.
Unless the Kogan/Catch game finishes. My brain actually thinks $4.95/month is the non-promo rate for 40 GB.
@peterpeterpumpkin: Could you elaborate? I looked at belong offers but didn't find anything flash.
It's going to be hard to get back to real pricing once shopback and cashreward stop giving us money to get a sim
@Bubbleshark: This hack isn't really sustainable, or proven, but theoretically, you can keep ordering a new free Belong SIM (https://www.belong.com.au/mobile/get-sim), using your own referral code and a new email address. This will give you a new SIM with $20 to use and will give you $20 to use on your primary SIM, which you use to add another 2 months of the 1 GB plan.
With the new SIMs you can add $5 to get the $25 5 GB plan, which will give you 10 GB in the first month, that you can transfer to your primary plan. But if you're using your SIM as a landline substitute, then the disposable Kogan SIMs are way more useful and better value with 40 GB.
This is why the "activate within a week/month" cashback deals for many of us have been useful only for the cash, unless you use more than 40/50/60 GB a month (Catch Connect + Amaysim + etc). For some reason, people don't get as excited about the annual bank deals that give you $50 in one hit! I understand not wanting to verify ID at the bank but people here think lining up for a $2 Telstra SIM at Auspost is a deal…
A 10 GB deal for $5 or $10 is actually a terrible deal without cashback at the moment, since $4.95 is basically the rate for 40 GB. And you can get Belong on Telstra at 10 GB for $5 as well, that can be transferred to your primary account and doesn't expire (though more realistically 9 GB if you use even a kilobyte). You can use the $40 SIMs for $15 for the same purpose.
@peterpeterpumpkin: Thanks a lot for that very descriptive explanation.
Since my primary goal is to have more data (nbn curse got me), I will head toward the cashrewards deals as long as I can.
For my primary sim, I was thinking of the $120 Optus deal for 365 days, might be not optimal but it's arguably cheap.
how long does the credit last\
Do you still get the bonus if you are an existing Optus customer?
Anyone knows when this needs to be activated by? Expiry date?
optus$30 sim kit for $10. 7/11 deal beats coles with a little more data
Tbh, best to go for this deal/belong while there is some stock at $13.
Except if U need Optus network.
You mean $20?
