    Keep getting this error on checkout after entering my card details
    "Sorry, we are unable process your order. Please try again later."

    Any ideas?

    • +1

      Got the same error, gave up, too much hassle for $2

    • I've been having checkout problems just like that using Firefox browser. It looks like the site itself has some problem, but if I use Chrome instead it works.

      • i was doing it via shopback app :/

        • Oh well, not that then. The Firefox problem has been happening on multiple sites.

  • DOs

    SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering.

    So no cashback if I don't activate within 30 days?

    • correct

      • +2

        That's a pass for me then given reports of 40+ days for some people to receive the sim in the mail.

  • Cheers got one, was going to hop soon

  • Nice thanks dealbot.

  • anybody's cashback got tracked?

    • +1

      No, tracking seems extremely delayed.

  • Thanks OP! This is handy to have as a backup for my other phone as I transition to my new one thanks to all those Samsung trade-in deals.

  • +1

    What's the limit on how many cashbacks per account?

  • Upvoted. Just in time for overseas visitor.

    Cashback Rates
    $30 Prepaid SIM / Trio Starter Kit

    Cashback after first recharge or third recharge?

  • How long do these sims generally take to arrive?

    • +3

      Mine took about 5 weeks…..

      • +5

        LOL… makes "must be activated within 30 days of ordering" difficult, and the cashback probably impossible.

        • Most Telcos never bother to track down the activation of a SIM to validate cashback.

    1. Does "new customer" = "new account/phone number" like Kogan? That is, can the same person buy and activate multiple SIMs?
    2. Anyone know if you can get multiple cashbacks, or only the first cashback?
    3. How do you leave/cancel… just don't buy any recharges?
  • I'm currently with boost, can I keep my number still? I'm fine with only getting 20gb (it's still cheaper than recharging), or I can buy a $2 optus and switch back but would I still be considered a 'new customer'?

    • If you want to take advantage of this cheap sim and if your already with boost and want to keep your number, then porting out ( say to Optus ) will be needed and then back in to this boost sim, done.

      • +1

        Hardly worth the effort for a 28 day sim.

        • "WatchNerd" Many people on here would agree, and many not as that is the trade off for sim swapping,

          time spend porting each 28/31 days to save $10=$30.

          • +4

            @ozhunter68: Don't get me wrong I'm a massive sim slut but I don't think I've ever done 28 or 30 days on my main number. Usually try for 90 days or longer.

            Having a dual sim phone means you can buy these 28/30 day sim deals & just whack it in the 2nd sim slot for data.

            • @WatchNerd: Yep. That's what I do. Bit stupid not to, if you are earning money to do so. Hey that $2 gets me just over a ltre of petrol. ;)

      • So i can't just add my number? Like I said, if I can do it, I don't care about the bonus data

        • This is Not a Re Charge, new number or Port Over from another carrier, simple.

          There is No adding of any numbers unless you call porting number adding number.

  • +5

    Just be aware you may be waiting a long time for delivery, took 47 days for my Boost sim to arrive!

    • In other words, a customer is not obliged to activate it within 30 days to receive cashback.

      My exp tells me the same.

    • That's very unfortunate. Did you enquire as to why it was delayed for so long ? My one and only time I ordered from boost, my card arrived about 7 - 10 days later.

  • Whats the best sim swapping strategy at the moment? 🤔

    • I have a 5 or 6 of $80 belong starter packs i got cheap with my telstra points, i get 3 months out of them then i switch to something like this boost deal then back to the $80 starter pack, rinse repeat. will only last for 12 months then i think the starter packs expire.

    • +1

      amaysim 6months Groupon is great for your main number and get a 2nd sim for data (like this). that's why if you are sim hopping good to have a dual sim phone.

  • +1

    I have not been a boost customer yet so a bit hesitant to get the sim especially with delayed sim arrival and cashback delay (it's not a big issue as long as it gets tracked). Also, how easy is it to port in and port out of boost ? Hope there is no hidden cost, etc.

    If the sim gets delayed to arrive can we buy a $2 sim from retail store and activate just like with Kogan and Amaysim ? This would still mean using the service for no cost.

    Might do some research and see the comments till tomorrow before I make a decision.

    Thanks

    anyone else getting "Sorry, we are unable process your order. Please try again later.?"

  • Not tracked yet even with the chrome add-on.
    Shopback always struggles showing the real offer.

  • any limit most others have a limit of 2 per month? I can't see it in the t&c, asking just case missed it.
    good for data.

    gonna see if i'll work in my telstra smart modem. works with belong and woolworths sims.

    This link https://boost.com.au/pages/prepaid-plans shows a few more 28 day plans two of which (70 GB and 100 GB) seems to be available for $2 each.
    Too good to be true or is this just for a normal sim without any plan and during activation I need to recharge with $50 or $70 ?

    • +1

      The difference between when buying the 40 GB plan and say 70 GB plan is that when I click the buy Sim link, on the next page it shows "Offers added" for the former but not for the latter.
      So it might just be a blank $2 sim if I understand correctly.

      • +1

        Yes, no such cashback option, either. Just 60 or 70 cents cashback for $2 SIM.

        The only worry may be that SB forgets to update cashback rate to $3.5 (like CR). Similar issue happened before with Amaysim.

        • shopback will honour it

  • Got one, thanks OP!

  • Considering you won't receive the sim in time for the cashback "SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering." will officeworks pricematch for $8?
    What is a new customer? Will you be able to active two sims with the same name and billing details?

  • Would I be considered a new customer if I am with Telstra atm? Just wanted to double check

  • Thanks. Bought one. Or should I write " Earned $2." ?

  • +3

    I placed an order over 24 hours ago and there is still no tracking.

    • +2

      Yes same. No confirmation or anything.

    • Last time it took a few hours for me, pretty sure less than 10 hrs.

    • +1

      I made purchase over 30hrs ago, my shopback cashback didn't get track either.

    • +1

      Me too! No tracking at all.

      Hi all,

      I kindly ask anyone who has not had their order tracked to submit a Missing Cashback Claim while our team looks at the network responsible for Boost.
      If there was an error with the network, we'll work with them to get it fixed asap.

      Thanks,
      GYB

        Tracked only $4?

        • Same here, only $4 tracked

        • Hi, I've just provided an update here.

          Cheers!

  • Who track "SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering." to get the $10 cashback?

  • +2

    Placed an order over 30 hours ago, and there is still no tracking!

    • Hi @flame21, please refer to the comments below/above :)

      Thanks!

      • Hi Dear Got Your Back,

        I have submitted a request and sent all the required invoice and purchase ID, but by mistake the amount I put in $8 instead of $10. I can't change it now.

        Not like many others who received a $4 tracking - then upgraded to $10, I have never received any tracking confirmation emails.

        Thank you!

        • Hi @flame21,

          Could you kindly send me a direct message?
          I'd be happy to assist with this either later today or tomorrow when I'm back online :)

          Thanks!

  • +1

    Still no tracking after 48 hours

    • It is an epic failure for SB and/or commission factory as no one reported purchase tracked so far.

      Hi both,

      I kindly ask anyone who has not had their order tracked to submit a Missing Cashback Claim while our team looks at the network responsible for Boost.
      If there was an error with the network, we'll work with them to get it fixed asap.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks for your advice, GYB

        • Hi GYB, following your instruction, submitted Missing Cashback Requests for both 2 orders that have still not been tracked now. Thanks!

      • Thanks GYB, Opened a Claim.

      • +1

        Tried to report missing cashback. Showed up as $10 tracked in reporting process, however just received a tracking notification for $4 only.

        • Hi, I've just provided an update here.

          Cheers!

  • Ordered the sim yesterday and received it today!

    • Received mine as well. Much faster than expected!

    only $4 tracked after putting in claim ffs

    • Hi, I've just provided an update here.

      Cheers!

  • +1

    Was going to report missing tracking, got a notif it's tracking but only $4 instead of $10. Anyone else?

    • Hi, I've just provided an update here.

      Cheers!

  • Only tracked for $4. This is clearly fraud!

    Chances are it won't arrive within 30 Days so doesn't matter if it's $10 or $4 or $100

    • Hi, I've just provided an update here.
      Not necessary to jump to the conclusion of fraud when something doesn't go as planned.

      Cheers!

  • +1

    Yes, $4.

    • Hi, I've just provided an update here.

      Cheers!

  • $4 aswell

    • Hi, I've just provided an update here.

      Cheers!

  • Got $4 tracking, but I have a screenshot which says

    "$30 sim for $8 (includes 40gb data)"

    But it also says

    "up to $10 cashback"

    So then that means they don't have to pay $10?

    • Hi, I've just provided an update here.

      Cheers!

  • The same $4 only… whats going on?

    • Hi, I've just provided an update here.

    Hi all, a quick update.

    From what I can see, it looks like the orders came through from our affiliate network but at the wrong rate.
    I've flagged this with our operations team to fix asap.

    I apologise for the inconvenience caused here, we'll get this sorted out.

    • +8

      Follow-up update:

      Our team have confirmed that the orders came through the network at a lower rate & have now uplifted the rates on all eligible orders.

      This will be reflected in your account no later than tomorrow morning.
      If the correct Cashback value is still not showing in your account by Sunday, please send me a DM & I'll get back to you on Monday morning.

      Thanks for your patience & understanding!
      Have a great weekend :)

      • Thank you GYB. Correct cashback's now in my account.

      • @GYB, following your instruction above, I have submitted Missing Cashback Requests that have still not been tracked until now. Thanks!

      • I haven't got the correct cashback yet
