FREE Boost SIM after cashback. Cashrewards hasn't mentioned that the SIM must not be deactivated until your cashback is payable yet. It may be a new Boost term but it hasn't been included in Cashrewards T&Cs at the moment. TA's comment: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15597173/redir

Please note that letting the number expire and not recharging is eligible for cashback.

Deactivate means requesting Boost to remove the number or porting out.

What you need to know

  • 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 recharges, phones, bundles, accessories, eSIMs, plans or products not listed in the cashback table of rates, use of codes not listed on Cashrewards, and purchases via the Boost app.
  • You must return and click through Cashrewards for each new transaction.

Boost:

  • 70GB on activation for new customers. 25GB on next recharge. Activate by 21 October 2024.
  • SIM offer ends 19 August 2024.
  • From 22 October 2024, this recharge will increase to $39.

    has anyone ever been successful with the order tracking on Boost mobile? i'm in regional WA, takes 12 days to get the sim card.

    • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 15:26

      Several comments here about successful tracking (almost instant) ordering this Boost SIM card from Cashrewards. Mine tracked in 2 minutes this morning.

      I've found Cashrewards customer service to be helpful if there are any issues.

      I'm in Perth metro and still waiting for a Boost SIM card ordered on 3rd August. Usually also takes about 12 days to reach Perth metro.

      • AirbusA389 on 13/08/2024 - 21:50

        what about shipping tracking? I can never seem to get the shipping tracking to work, even though Boost mobile uses star track

        • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 23:08

          I've heard others mentioned shipping tracking but I've never received the email for shipping tracking. My Boost SIM cards were probably delivered by Australia Post in the bike as they had been left in my letter box with the other mail.

    Can I activate later than 21 October 2024 as my plan finish in Nov.

    • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 16:11

      Cashback is most likely to be rejected if you don't activate the SIM within 30 days of ordering (by mid Sep 2024). That means you will pay $12 for this SIM card instead of it being free.

      A few months ago, Telstra/Boost has been checking and enforcing the 30 day activation from order date and rejecting cashback when not activated within 30 days.

      Please read TA's comments here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15597239/redir

  • pikachupw on 13/08/2024 - 16:27

    I'm still wondering if I buy this prepaid SIM, can someone else activate it, and will the cashback still be eligible?

    • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 16:31
      +1

      Yes, cashback is eligible as long as the SIM card is activated within 30 days. It is not a requirement for the same person to be buying and activating the SIM card.

        thank you!

  • the hairy bear on 13/08/2024 - 18:15

    This SIM not showing on cashrewards web site, expired?

    • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 18:20

      @the hairy bear It is still there. When you shop from Cashrewards, it will take you to the Boost website.
      You are buying the 28 day SIM 70GB for $12 (save $23). Picture has $35 on the SIM card.

      Cashback: $35 28-day Prepaid SIM $12

  • CVonC on 13/08/2024 - 18:49

    Is it possible to buy a physical sim then convert to eSIM and still be eligible for cashback?

    • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 18:54

      Yes according to this comment: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15567223/redir

      • CVonC on 13/08/2024 - 19:00

        Hmm I'll give it a go since one user said they still got the cashback from SB.

        I forgot if boost sims come pre activated though? Or is that Amaysim?

        • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 19:16
          +1

          Boost is not preactivated.

          The differences:

          Boost

          • Not preactivated when you purchase. Have to activate when you receive the SIM.
          • Person that is purchasing doesn't have to be the same person that is activating the SIM.
          • Activate within 30 days of ordering.

          Amaysim

          • Arrives preactivated. When you insert the SIM, the 28 day expiry will reset.
          • At the time of purchase, your details are registered with a new mobile number allocated.
          • Activate within 20 days of ordering.
          • illumination on 14/08/2024 - 01:08

            @trixieb:

            Activate within 20 days of ordering.

            But this only applies to ports, since for a new service, as per the first point, it "arrives preactivated"… right?

            • trixieb on 14/08/2024 - 01:57

              @illumination: Just to clarify this is for Amaysim SIM card which is preactivated when you place the order. You would still need to activate again by inserting the SIM into your phone within 20 days of ordering as per the Amaysim/Cashrewards T&Cs to ensure cashback. Your 28 day expiry will reset then so you get the full 28 days. If you don't use or insert the SIM card, the 28 day expiry starts from the day of purchase. Amaysim can check if you have activated within 20 days of ordering and may reject cashback. According to comments here, Cashrewards no longer approves the Amaysim cashback quickly (before you receive the order or insert the SIM).

              For the Boost SIM card in this offer, it's simply activate within 30 days of ordering.

              • eeeee on 14/08/2024 - 11:26

                @trixieb: where does it state you need to activate again in the terms?

                • trixieb on 14/08/2024 - 11:36

                  @eeeee: With this Boost offer, in my post description above and also on Cashrewards/Boost T&Cs:

                  • Under What you need to know, Special terms, second line
                  • SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering.

                  In the past, Telstra/Boost may not have enforced the activation. However a few months ago, Telstra/Boost has been checking and enforcing the 30 day activation from order date and rejecting cashback when not activated within 30 days.

                  Please read TA's comments here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15597239/redir

                  • eeeee on 14/08/2024 - 11:39

                    @trixieb: Thank you. Sorry I was not clear. With amaysim activation. They come preactivated. I rang to activate and they said no need. So I was wondering where does it state I need to reactivate but installing the sim in the phone?

                    • trixieb on 14/08/2024 - 12:09

                      @eeeee: It's in their terms on the cashback websites/app. This Amaysim offer has the 3 cashback companies listed and states the activation term: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/860966

                      With Amaysim, when you insert the SIM, it seems to activate and reset the date to 28 days. Sometimes the reset may not work (ie you lose out on the days) and you would have to contact Amaysim to manually reset the 28 day expiry.

                      • eeeee on 14/08/2024 - 13:50

                        @trixieb: I still can't see the condition. It says "SIM must be activated within 20 days of purchase". As far as I can see, it comes activated so condition is met. Have you actually seen the condition requiring someone to actually insert the sim within 20 days? For receiving text and calls only and if not interested in outgoing phone calls or texts, no need to insert sim until you need it. I am very confused where the insert sim condition came from.

    • AkuroPlays on 14/08/2024 - 09:26

      Probably got hard banned by Boost, I had that issue before but it’s been several months since I last bought any sims and buying four have been OK for me. Tough luck.. :(

  • phyatm on 14/08/2024 - 10:06

    I cna't type anthing in the payment details. Am I banned?

    • trixieb on 14/08/2024 - 10:21

      Perhaps delete your history and start again.
      The comments on being blocked by Boost refer to getting the message Sorry, something went wrong after adding the payment details and submitting the order.

      • phyatm on 14/08/2024 - 10:25

        Thanks! I tried yesterday and today with different browsers and still I can't enter any card information when checking out.

        • trixieb on 14/08/2024 - 10:48

          Just tested the Boost website and was able to add payment details.
          I googled your issue but couldn't find any comments on it.
          Do you mean there is no cursor in the card details section so you cannot type the numbers in (and doesn't matter what card type it is)?

        • foreveryoung10 on 14/08/2024 - 20:31

          That's strange… it happened to me at first as well, using a different browser and / or clearing browsing data made it load normally (did both, can't remember what did it), But I can't get past sORRY uNABLE pROCESS oRDER (…) (despite not ordering a boost sim for a few months, and initially being able to bypass by purposely putting in address errors…)

      This SIM will expire after 28 days. If you don't recharge, you can still receive texts for about 6 months.

      From Boost: If your phone isn’t recharged for a period of 6 months it will be deemed inactive and you will lose your number.

  • Iluvfreebies on 14/08/2024 - 11:44

    I bought one but I am not sure if this will be honoured after reading TA's comment.
    If Boost rejects it because the number is not active, then CR may not honour it too and blame it on Boost even if T&C does not mention it.
    It would be huge financial hit for CR if they have to pay this out of their own pocket.

    • trixieb on 14/08/2024 - 12:02
      +1

      Just to clarify, letting the number expire and not recharging is fine for cashback.

      I assume you plan to deactivate by asking Boost to remove the number or porting out. It's on Cashrewards as it's not stated in their Boost T&Cs. It is a risk in case Cashrewards declines cashback. However I've found Cashrewards customer service recently to be responsive and helpful.

      • Iluvfreebies on 14/08/2024 - 12:26

        CR has been great so far in honouring CB. I do not plan to deactivate. But now I get the difference between deactivate and expire.
