SAV30ZIP

45c less and longer expiry date of SIM card than this offer.

I've confirmed with the rep that the April 2026 expiry date is correct for this plan.

Don't need to have Zip Pay to use code SAV30ZIP (for $30 off) = $179 when you pay with discounted eBay gift cards.

Here's a screenshot of the section on the eBay app where you place the eBay gift card codes. You add the Zip Pay code first. The eBay website will be similar.

Credit to @urahara for the following tip:

Select ZIP Pay as payment method which applies the code SAV30ZIP
Then buy a gift card using any of the services https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/discounted_egift_cards
Enter the pin of the gift card at the same place where code was applied.

Credit to @AusNugz to choose Australia Post.

Make sure you select Aus Post if you can over Sendle.

        @md333 @WhatsTheBigDeal Still waiting for the rep to reply. PMed almost 3 hours ago. (Zip Pay offer ends today.)

        I'm not expecting the date to be a mistake. Based on the expiry dates of previous offers posted on OzB and listed on their website, April 2026 expiry date for this discontinued plan is plausible. Other earlier expiry dates for this plan were 06/01/2025, 14/07/2025 and 08/09/2025.

          @md333 @WhatsTheBigDeal @jackychen @ozhunter68 Rep has just confirmed 2026 expiry date is correct.

          It's 2026 and that's the latest expiry you can get for the discontinued Boost 230

    • Tomstars241 on 11/12/2024 - 21:55

      How much discount did you get buying the gift cards from Woolies?

      • trixieb on 11/12/2024 - 21:57
        +5

        @Tomstars241 3% discount at Woolworths Everyday Rewards App, choose Your Pick gift card and eBay is one of them listed.

  • teloskey on 11/12/2024 - 23:32

    Do I need to have an eBay account in order to use Woolworths gift cards?
    I tried using guest account on eBay but there is no option to add gift card, every paying with credit card/paypal/afterpay (ebay guest account) doesn't give me the $30 discount.

    • trixieb on 11/12/2024 - 23:48

      @teloskey Sorry I'm not familiar with purchasing as a guest and whether eBay gift cards (purchased from Everyday Rewards app) can be used with Zip Pay discount. I read this but it doesn't answer your question:

      How to buy as a guest on eBay

      Once you've found an item you'd like to buy, you can go to checkout to complete your purchase. Here's how:

      • Select Buy It Now on the listing.
      • Select Check out as a guest.
      • Fill in your delivery address, email address and payment information.
      • Select Confirm and pay.

      You can buy without an eBay account as long as:

      • The item costs less than $6,000
      • The item can be purchased using Buy It Now. If you want to bid on an auction or send a Best Offer to a seller, you'll need an eBay account
      • You pay for the item using PayPal, a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Afterpay or Zip

      https://www.ebay.com.au/help/buying/paying-items/buying-gues…

      P.S. Offer finishes in about 14 minutes.

  • teloskey on 11/12/2024 - 23:53

    It finishes in 10 min? no way, damn
    Thanks for reply, looks like I will miss out.

      Unless you are super quick. There will be other offers as this SIM card is discontinued.

      If you're fast you won't miss out - I just bought Bupa Life Rewards $179 gift card and purchased this sim in about 3 minutes!

  • teloskey on 12/12/2024 - 00:04

    I don't have an eBay account and paying as guest account, there was no option to put gift card number in, I didn't know it was expiring so soon, I'm new here my first post.

    • trixieb on 12/12/2024 - 00:20
      +2

      @teloskey You probably can't use eBay gift cards as a guest based on this statement from "buy as a guest on eBay". eBay gift cards are not mentioned.

      You pay for the item using PayPal, a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Afterpay or Zip

  • Edeena on 12/12/2024 - 00:07

    Damn the code expired as I was trying to buy giftcard on Macquarie app, luckily didn't buy giftcard yet.

    • teloskey on 12/12/2024 - 00:16

      I was thinking if I buy the gift card and the offer expires, what am I suppose to do with the gift card?
      can it be refunded? anyone know

      • trixieb on 12/12/2024 - 00:17
        +3

        @teloskey As a general rule, gift cards are not refundable.

  • freeb1e4me on 12/12/2024 - 00:08

    Riddle me this: Somehow posting a deal with instructions for hoop jumping to obtain a $174 approx. sim deal has made it more appealing - go figure!

    • md333 on 12/12/2024 - 13:16

      They are a discontinued plan, cheapest current equivalent is $300/yr full price and this SIM has a long expiry, so appealing to a number of people who want full telstra coverage as cheaply as possible.

  • Freddies on 12/12/2024 - 00:13

    already expired..

    Just received an ebay message from auditech_online ebay confirming I will receive my sim with 2026 expiry date and sent via

    Australia Post, so again great service from them for me.

  • Damngood on 12/12/2024 - 11:44

    I know it's expired. I'm damned if I could find a legit site where I could purchase a digital ebay gift card. RACV were out of stock of digital Ebay cards, how? And not on the everyday rewards app could I purchase one. I gave up. I'm sure they'll come again.

    • trixieb on 12/12/2024 - 11:57

      @Damngood Please don't give up :) 3% discount at Woolworths Everyday Rewards App, choose "Your Pick" Gift Card and eBay is one of the retailers listed.

        Thanks Trixie, at 1st still couldn't find it. Selected [Shop] and Search "Gift Card"….2 incorrect results. That's what I tried last night. This time I selected [Wallet] and there it was at the top. I wonder why the search couldn't find it. I'll wait for the next special now.

    SIM kit received today. Expiry date 2026-04-11

  • Whatever1911 on 21/12/2024 - 19:37

    I did the $2 Telstra port in approach and activated back to Boost <20 mins like other's experiences. Boost app says "expires on 22 Dec 2025" (I activated today). Confirming physical SIM package says "Expiry Date: 2026-04-11".

    How do we feel about buying another one to activate closer to expiry in 2026 and hoping Boost honours it?

    • md333 on 31/12/2024 - 12:54

      I think you are pretty safe with it being honoured until April 2026. If you are convinced it will still be the best deal for you by then.

  • yoshiiiii on 30/12/2024 - 23:16

    Anyone else who hasn't received their sim yet? It's been 3 weeks and waiting….

      Sorry to hear. Was there any tracking info?

      Best to contact the seller either PM on OzB or on eBay.
