Cashrewards is offering $50 cashback on Boost's $250 (reduced from $300) 260GB 1-year SIM

Cheaper than the deal that I posted yesterday

    Thanks so much OP!!! I was so bummed out when I missed out on the BF cashback because I kept getting "Sorry, we are unable process your order. Please try again later." on the Boost website. Turns out I am still getting this error…
    Has anybody come across this and resolved it? I've tried using Chrome and Safari, a DL and a Passport. I wonder if it's because I've been a customer in the past (but not current)?

      Hi! We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing issues while trying to place your order. This is most likely related to fraud triggers that are automatically set in place by our order processing platform and other providers like your Bank and Credit card in order to avoid fraudulent transactions. We understand this can be highly frustrating when trying to place a legitimate order, but this sits outside of Boost’s control.

      Below is a list of indicators that can affect how your order is flagged in different financial systems, which can hopefully help you understand what is going wrong:

      • Are the characteristics of this order similar to non-fraudulent orders observed in the past?
      • Are the characterises of this order similar to an order that was placed recently?
      • Is the card verification value (CVV) correct?
      • Does the billing address match the credit card’s registered address?
      • Does the billing address ZIP or postal code match the credit card’s registered address?
      • Was there more than 1 payment attempt?
      • Was the payment made with 1 credit card?
      • Does the billing country match the country from which the order was placed?
      • The IP address used to place the order isn’t a high-risk internet connection?
      • The browser used to place the order isn’t a high-risk browser

      Based on the above, we suggest that you take the following actions when trying to place an order:

      • Check if your ID details are correct
      • Check if your payment details are correct
      • Enter the delivery address manually
      • Try to place the order using a different personal device
      • Try to place the order on a different browser
      • Try to place the order using a different payment method
      • Try to place the order using a different email address

      If you continue to have the same issue, our customer service team may be able to help you at [email protected]

      • sidozziee on 11/12/2022 - 20:35

        I was having the same issue. Customer service was no help. Tried different browsers, machines, cards, nothing worked. Even tried using wife's details and her card. Finally had to ask my friend to try and he bought it for me and just delivered the sim today.

        • 1111L on 12/12/2022 - 19:57

          I've attempted everyday and all the things you have tried also - including my husband's too! Still no success. Thank you for telling me customer service was not helpful because I was just about to email.

          Will your friend buying it for you affect your activation?

          • sidozziee on 12/12/2022 - 22:22

            @1111L: I haven't tried but i guess it shouldn't be a problem. I bought amaysim $6 one month plan for time being so i am planning to activate sim in january so that i will be keeping an eye for any xmas/new year deals next december before my plan will be expiring in january 2024. And in case there is any issue, i am sure customer service will be able to sort that out. Instead of emailing them, better go to chat on their website.

          • Associatedboostmobileau @ Cashrewards on 13/12/2022 - 14:02

            @1111L: Hey! Oh no! Sorry for this trouble. Would you mind emailing us your details please so we can further help you? We might need to escalate this to our team so it would be helpful if you can get get in contact with us through email. Hope to hear from you soon!

            • sidozziee on 13/12/2022 - 14:24

              @boostmobileau: After wasting so much time on chat, they asked me to contact the bank, they can't do anything about this issue. I checked online and found some posts about other people having same issue and they were told the same and one thing is for sure, it has nothing to do with the bank. Its problem at your side.

              • Associatedboostmobileau @ Cashrewards on 13/12/2022 - 15:13

                @sidozziee: Sorry to hear that the chat support wasn't helpful in getting this resolved. I would encourage you to send us an email at [email protected] so we can dig deeper and find a way to resolve it. Hope to hear back. Thank you!

    I see you can receive sms while overseas. Can you also receive phone calls?

    • Associatedboostmobileau @ Cashrewards on 07/12/2022 - 12:46

      Yes! That's now possible with our international roaming. Here's more info https://boost.com.au/pages/international-roaming

      • willyroo on 07/12/2022 - 13:45

        Assuming you have a VoWiFi capable phone -

        When overseas, turn on "flight mode"
        Wait
        Turn WiFi back on

        Make and receive calls, send and receive SMSs - no roaming needed.

        • bhakharvadi on 07/12/2022 - 15:56

          I don't think that will work, because to get the wi-fi calling activated you need to have mobile network connection first then it can activate VoWiFi on the basis of sim/network compatibility, the phone needs to know this I think.

  • Freeskater on 07/12/2022 - 10:42

      We sim swap out for a day to another telco $2 sim then hop back to Boost … painless. Some people do it same day. My pref is to let each telco systems 'roll over' over night and start fresh. This way no chat needed.

      • Sunnyoz on 07/12/2022 - 12:44

          literally any sim from the local servo / coles / woolies that is $2 … it will be Voda or Optus or one of their virtual sellers.
          And when buying a Boost sim from an online seller ask them to throw in a another sim (optus / voda) often they will do it $n/c

    • eecchhoo on 07/12/2022 - 11:40

      Yeah they are fine using this sim kit to recharge your account. Just need to swap with the new sim when they transfer your number over to the new SIM card. Did this few days ago.

        @Avi001 @siberry

        Just so you're aware, they are only estimated approval dates. Boost generally approves cashback after 45 days or so from purchase date, provided the SIM has been activated. There shouldn't be too many members that don't have cashback prior to Oct 31 already approved in their Cashrewards accounts. Thanks.

        Hi tightarse. I made one purchase and it tracked. Then I logged back through cash reward link a second time then added another Sim in a seperate transaction. The second one hasn't tracked yet and it's been 14 hours or so. Is that normal? The first transaction tracked almost instantly. Thanks 👍

  • Sirajs on 07/12/2022 - 12:42

    My Boost plan expires in Feb. Wondering if I should grab this deal or wait for boxing day. As is I won't be eligible for cashback if I activate in Jan or Feb.

    Save us porting out and porting in, some way of us getting a discount or cashback on our recharge options.

    • lovepub on 08/12/2022 - 08:39

      Nope sorry can’t do.
      Most customers already on board won’t want the hassle. So this is to bring in new customers and they just do regular recharges
      Unfortunately existing customers doesn’t get looked after in the telecom world

      Same for mine that I purchased on 29/11/2022. I contacted Boost via their online chat yesterday and they told me it’s in transit but I haven’t received a tracking notification. The online chat did say I would get a tracking number via either SMS or email but so far nothing yet.

    how to get discounted boost recharge after 12 months?

    • nonpop on 08/12/2022 - 11:18

      port to another provider for a short window …. then buy back to Boost as a 'new' customer.

      we usually port out for 24 hrs then port back … easy. Once a yr. try to time it for Black Friday.

      do it on a weekday to be safe i.e Tuesday as then you have access to customer service teams should it go pair shaped.

      so far across the years, no issues. YMMV

      • MikeHunt69 on 14/12/2022 - 08:31

        Do you need to port your existing number to the new temp provider in order to keep your same number when going back to boost?

    Hi boost rep what’s the latest on esim capability? When are we going live with it?

  • FlyFire on 07/12/2022 - 16:19

    Unfortunately, for me, data doesn’t work in 3g and in some cases even in 4g mode. Several calls, messages to support team didn’t help. Even after a sim replacement, no joy. Tried it with multiple phones. No luck.

    For new users, it will be a good idea to try them out first before you purchase an annual plan.

    And to add salt to the wound, my previous provider Aldi mobile works fine in these areas.

    • VehemenceThePhoenix on 07/12/2022 - 16:49

      That's weird, I thought Boost (full Telstra), should be better than Aldi (wholesale Telstra). I wonder why your issues arise? Is your phone preferencing a low signal 5G connection that is spotty or something?

      • FlyFire on 07/12/2022 - 17:11

        I initially thought it might be a spotty 5G issue. But it seems the data is fully cut off in a 3g signal area. That is, I can see full bars but no data. Tried the usual flight mode trick to see if it fixes the issue but it didn’t. Support team couldn’t figure out what is causing this.

  • Brianxxx on 08/12/2022 - 12:14

    My personal experience with Boost:

    Ordered the $200 prepaid sim from this deal on 12 Nov.

    They sent it to a wrong address and it got returned. No emails received on shipping.
    A bit over two weeks since I ordered I chatted online with them. Was told sim was faulty and had to return to the factory.
    Asked for an express post and the online staff agreed, and confirmed my address again. Asked for an email to stay in the loop with shipping. Agreed and got no nothing.

    Messaged again today, gave me the tracking number of the first time it was sent out. I realized it wasn't a faulty sim that needs return.
    It was only because they had the wrong address the first time, and the agreed second shipping never was shipped.

    It was my first time buying from them and likely going to be the last.

    Couldnt activate on the website for some reason, so had to do it through livechat, then the plan doesnt even become active because the SIM is faulty. Now i have to go out of my way to get another sim because of their own mistake and my number is inactive. The guy said hed add 10gb of data as a courtesy but i can’t even use it because its overrided by the 260gb 🤦‍♂️.

    Just a quick correction for #7 under common FAQ.

    Q: Can I receive an international text message (aka int. roaming) with this SIM by default?

    A: You can definitely send outgoing SMS to the countries included in the plan. Please see here: https://boost.com.au/products/300-prepaid-sim

    Hope this helps!
