You guys asked, TA listened! (Well, after I nagged and kept asking him about it)

Boost Mobile are currently selling the $200 140GB SIM for $170 when you apply code BOOST170, so stack with this offer from Cashrewards to get $20 cashback to bring the total price down to $150!

Special Terms

  • Multiple SIM purchases need to be made as separate transactions. Adding more than one SIM to an order will result in an untracked purchase.

  • SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering.

  • Cashback is ineligible on prepaid phones, recharges, and any plans or products not specifically listed in the cashback table of rates.

  • You must return and click through Cashrewards for each new transaction.

FAQ thanks to BG

Question Answer
1. Is Boost operated by Telstra network? Yes, on the full Telstra network
2. Does Boost support 5G? Yes, for all Boost prepaid customers and it is currently on trial until 3 April 2023
From 4 April 2023, 5G network access will be included as standard on your service and we’ll be introducing capped download speed caps on our 4G and 5G networks
3. Does Boost support e-SIM? Sadly not at this stage. However there are plans to do so
4. Do you have to activate the SIM within 30 days? Every Cashrewards Boost cashback up to and including Feb 28 has been approved (confirmed by TA) - provided you activated within 30 days of order
5. How long is the SIM expiry? Usually 1 year, but to qualify for cashback the SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering
6. It is showing “new customer” on Boost website. What does this mean? New customer term is only for the additional Boost data, and nothing to do with the cashback offer
7. Can I receive international text message (aka int. roaming) with this SIM by default? Yes, you can receive SMS while overseas, but can’t send outgoing to Australia
8. How long does it take to receive the SIM? According to the Boost Rep: Once dispatched, you should receive your order within the following business days: Metro Areas – 2-5 business days for capital cities – Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart & Brisbane (order before 4pm). Non Metro or Regional / remote areas – 3-7 business days
9. Is porting in a Telstra number to Boost considered a "new customer"? From Boost Mobile rep via dm: Porting a number from Telstra to Boost is definitely considered a new customer
10. Are you able to purchase multiple plans using different names / ID (or can I purchase 4 x plans for the family using my own details)? From Boost Mobile rep via dm: Received clarification from the team and this is a tricky one since for compliance the terms is showing the customer is only allowed 1 sim per transaction but he can buy multiple SIMs and then activate them all under his name and he will then be able to manage all the numbers when he logs into the App with his Boost ID.
11. Information on what to do when the "please try again later" message comes up 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
12. Can this be used to recharge? No, this is a starter pack. But you can ask a CSR to use the starter kit as a recharge. I think technically the service is activated on a new number and then your existing number/account is migrated across. The outcome is basically the same. Voicemail greeting needs to be recorded again.

Enjoy!

    Too bad I don’t need it activated until much later in the year. Would’ve gotten it otherwise

  • Techefy on 01/05/2023 - 19:33

    Can someone confirm the $200 package is going to be discontinued in near future and it is good to stack these sims when there are offers like this?

    • Joshbell on 01/05/2023 - 19:34

      Needs to be activated within 30 days for the cashback

      • Techefy on 01/05/2023 - 19:35
        +1

        Yes this condition in this specific deal beats the purpose: SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering. But I mean other discounted offers.

      • markwid on 01/05/2023 - 20:36

        Shame. This is the catch. Mine doesn't need a "recharge" that soon. Although, at $170 it might still be worthwhile to get one put aside for next recharge later.

    • WhyAmICommenting on 01/05/2023 - 19:35

      I wouldn’t buy more than one, expiry would be ??

  • airpoe on 01/05/2023 - 19:44

    my boost expires in 4 days, do I need to port to say optus then port back to boost for the cashback to work?

    • iShibby on 01/05/2023 - 19:53

      Yep I’m in the same boat. Cash rewards won’t be tracked for recharges. I was testing the network on a 28 day plan. Not sure of the cheapest way to port out and back in

    • pichxlonco on 01/05/2023 - 19:56

      Read FAQ #12. I've done it many times

      • iShibby on 01/05/2023 - 20:05

        I understand you could recharge with the starter pack but will the cashback track? Says no to recharges

        • pichxlonco on 01/05/2023 - 20:40
          +1

          It's not a recharge. They basically activate the new SIM with a new number, and then transfer your old number into this new SIM. The SIM is properly activated, not used as credit for your current plan

          • justanick on 01/05/2023 - 21:27

            @pichxlonco: Wait. What happens to the new number? When you active the SIM it’s on a new number and then they migrate to your existing number. Isn’t it a waste of a new number?

            • pichxlonco on 01/05/2023 - 21:30

              @justanick: I think the new number gets recycled or lost. I don't think companies care too much. As far as i know, a few years ago one of the key metrics to measure the success of an operator was the new numbers activated and new number ported from other providers. I guess doing this helps their metrics?

  • pennypincher98 on 01/05/2023 - 19:58

    Plan isn't expiring until 19 July so I'll be able to avoid the price hike at least but hopefully there'll be increased cashback too :)

      You’ve got 30 days to activate for cashback. I don’t think the data amount is changing in that period.

    Regarding FAQ#12 i.e. using this Starter kit to recharge your existing Boost Service, I will share my experience from today:

    This can not be done via the Online Chat, I was advised to call ‪1258881‬ and ask the CSR to activate the new starter kit and transfer the service over to new sim. Luckily this chat was helpful later on in The first CSR I spoke to wasted a lot of my time and basically adament that their system doesn't allow that at all, there is no such option. Asked to consult his supervisor but came back with the same answer. i hung up and called them again, spoke to another CSR who started looking into my previous notes/ transactions and pointed out that I had already spoken to them like 7 minutes ago. I told him that previous agent just didn't quite understand my concern and couldn't help. Also told him that the Chat agent had advised that this was possible via phone help. The CSR then asked for a snapshot of the chat which I emailed him and then he had to discuss with his team leader and get an approval before he could action it. The call got disconnected and had to speak to the 3rd CSR and explain the whole situation, Luckily the 2nd CSR has noted comments on the file with team lead approval.

    Anyway, finally managed to get it done but it is very very hard and be prepared to spend a lot of time on the phone.

    • justanick on 01/05/2023 - 21:31

      Omg best to port out to amaysim and port back to Boost.

    • northshore on 13/05/2023 - 20:22

      I did FAQ#12 via online chat with no issue. Took 15 mins after waiting 5 mins in the online chat queue.
      Old SIM was disconnected and, number transferred to new SIM immediately.

      Late reply but sharing just in case anyone was wondering.

    • justtoreply on 02/05/2023 - 22:12

      Activate the starter as a new number. Discard it unless you've got a dual sim phone

            +1

            @Techie4066: Didn't seem to work. Everywhere in the checkout process says today you'll pay $35 (for example) and so I suspect that the 1 month free only applies to your second month.

            Worse yet the bastards have designed their checkout process and privacy policy to mine your details and spam you even if you don't complete checkout.

            Screw Felix.

            • wavesgreen on 02/05/2023 - 22:30

              @justtoreply: That sucks. The wording of the referral offer is as follows:

              Get your friends and family to try felix with a month free on us. Share your unique referral code and you'll both get $35 in your felix wallet when they sign up and activate using your code.

              Which I always thought it meant your friend/family member got their first month free and you got a $35 credit. Kinda crappy if they aren't doing it that way.

              • Techie4066 on 02/05/2023 - 22:47

                @wavesgreen: It definitely was that way previously.

              • justtoreply on 02/05/2023 - 22:55

                @wavesgreen: It's possible that checkout is misleading. But I'm not going to risk $35 when an aldi sim is $5.

                • wavesgreen on 02/05/2023 - 23:39
                  +1

                  @justtoreply: I've read through all the terms and conditions on the felix website and it does say just a $35 credit, multiple times, nothing about first month free. So I guess it is what it is.

    I have never done a cash rewards claim. I just registered and went to the site. Can someone answer the below queries?

    1) For cash rewards do I need to buy the SIM card from the site?
    2) After that I need to activate it from the site? What if I need to contact CSR to transfer the recharge?
    3) when does this deal end as my current plan expires 10th of June?
