As I could not comment in the comments section of https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/569781
Can I please clarify if the 4 renewals include the initial $3 spent to buy the sim and first month of usage?
OR is it:
Initial - $3
1st renewal - $3
2nd renew - $3
3rd rn - $3
4th rn - $3
How do you check the promo end date?
I reckon it’s in the “redeem promo”.
But if there’s nothing there then it’s already expired.
Mine says 28 Jan but I activated in November (1) December (2) January (3)
Should I switch off Auto renew in February (4) if I do not wish to continue?
@seug123: So any renewal after 28/1 will be charged at full price $10. You can turn off and then port out if you don’t wanna continue. Or else contact support team like I mentioned below. They may give you free credits to cover the cost.
It should be the first case, ie. the initial 28 days counts as "first renewal".
About to comment in the deal post but couldn’t as it’s closed. Beware that it includes the initial charge.
Another weird thing is that the rep I chatted with said that the promo for my account ended on 5/1. So if you still have another renewal after this date, you will have to pay the original cost $10. That’s why rep gave me extra credit to cover the cost of the next billing date (26/1). Let’s see if it actually charges me $10.
All in all, this is a good deal. I paid $3 but with $10 referral credit and $2.1 CB, I end up paying only 90c for the whole 4 months. Some of you may even get paid since the CB was $3.5 before that.
I did not calculate this time as I only planned to stay for 1 renewal.
I vaguely remember the promo end date is about 7-10 days after your 4th renewal date (about 94 days after purchase date, which is about right in your case). In other words, if you activate the plan not within 7-10 days of your purchase date, you may miss out the discount on the 4th renewal unless you contact customer service to solve it.
So the promo is counted since the purchase date? Should have been activation date. Shipping was so slow that I could only activate after waiting for 2 weeks.
It is designed to easily for you to lose the last renewal within promo. I am pretty sure Promo end date has nothing to do with your activation date.
I just calculated mine, only 90 or 91 days between order date and promo end date. Order date 31 Oct, Shipping date 2 Nov, Promo end date 29 Jan.
I actually received the SIM card on the 13 Nov in the mail. P.S. I commented it in another deal for the deal we are talking about here.
I would like to know your order date.
@Neoika: Order date 7/10, can't remember the delivery date but porting in successfully on 3/11. Promo ended on 5/1, so exactly 91 days from order date.
@hawkeye93: So Amaysim only gives 7 days from order date for a customer to activate it and enjoy the 4 renewals on promo discount rate.
@Neoika: yeah, but I reckon it's impossible given how slow delivery is. Anyway, can always contact support team to get free credits to cover the cost.
Yes. Depending on when you activated it, you may not get the full 4 renewals at $3. There is a promo end date in your account.
