    Hasn't there been big issues with getting Cashrewards to honour cashback with Optus?

    • Sammyboy on 31/05/2025 - 12:58

      Worked for me last year and got paid out. Just use a new email with optus to be safe. That was the 2nd time I'd claimed too. Just used a different email each time

        When you use a new email, this is for registering the SIM card or for CashRewards login?

          With optus

            @Sammyboy: Did you used a SAME-NEW-email to,
            a.order, &
            b.activate
            Optus 365d prepaid? Thanks

      • ab c on 01/06/2025 - 12:02

        @Sammyboy & all those who up-voted,

        new email with optus to be safe

        GAMBLING & TRANSPARENCY: NO-body really know the outcome until taken the risk & people suggesting method that have worked 🤔 🪤

        From memory, Optus-link stated 'new CUSTOMER' @ this Apr-24 deal & seems like '1st ever sign-up' was the criteria-> https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/843556

        This deal, Optus-link states 'new SERVICES only' but people suggest using a proven-method 'to be safe', https://www.optus.com.au/prepaid/sim-plans?irclickid=Su-w1-z…

        Imo, a MINORITY will fail their money-back claims & will have NO-idea why: culprit was Optus or CashRewards? Maybe similar-people are commenting negatively @ this-post? Haven't we experiencED this via Amaysim-CashRewards monthly deals…maybe @ a LOWER-risk?

    • cobba87 on 31/05/2025 - 12:59

      Yes there has. They blame optus the last time a similar deal like this happened it wasnt honored.

      • felixyong on 31/05/2025 - 13:08

        Yes, my 100 cashreward is still pending since I brought this offer in Nov.

        It is like > 6 mths already.

        • TomGum on 31/05/2025 - 17:32

          The one I got on nov got approved. But maybe I got lucky!!

    • ab c on 01/06/2025 - 11:25

      Anyone, feel free to share YOUR-experience & thanks-> https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/884033

      People are willing to risk $150 to save $74: 199-(275-150), same Optus-offer for $199, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/907434

      IF-proceed, use your name (NOT-alias) to buy: likely that you'll need to provide ID to receive the parcel. My experience in Jan-25: Optus monthly-sim was sent via StarTrack as 'airlock'.

  • AircraftFreight on 31/05/2025 - 12:59

    Great yes, but my Cashback took 5 months to approve

    My cashback from a similar optus deal took 11months to be paid out. Lots of back and forth with Cashrewards saying that werent going to honor it because i didnt click using Cashrewards. They'll make up anything to deny the payout

      Sorry to hear.
      All my transactions with Cashrewards and Shopback have been smooth (execept the once when I used an adblock browser, but got that sorted in the end).

      I stay away from Topcashback, didnt have a good experience with them (cashback payout issue).

        " I am afraid it is the store that have told us your ​Optus Postpaid Mobile transaction was credited to another marketing channel instead of Cashrewards" from Cashrewards

        Completely made up. I got my money in the end but im sure there are customers who would just accept this

        • nicholasv on 31/05/2025 - 23:16

          Yep. Everyone said that Optus said the exact same thing for the deal you're referring to. How Cashrewards didn't think this was suspicious is beyond me

  • yht on 31/05/2025 - 13:10

    That will be an expensive sim if cashback not approved

    I wish companies just email people discount codes instead of using these cashback parasites.

    • Marty8 on 31/05/2025 - 13:43

      Probably the business model, bunch of people not getting the cashback and paying full price for something they might not really need.

      • shroomish on 31/05/2025 - 13:49

        I imagine they hold the cashback to earn interest for "x" amount and thats the business?

        • Trishool on 31/05/2025 - 13:54

          Plus likely some commission fees as well.

        Business-model is base on growth: need REAL-users to join & increase the pool. They're using YOUR-money as working-capital. If ANY stop-trading, they can't payback ALL outstanding claims 😱. Risk small $, & short money-back period….oblivious to the risk?

        Similar to banks creating money out-of-thin-air to give to borrowers….& Central-bankS creating EXTRA-zero on their system to buy Govt. debts/OVER-spends. This IS the financial-backbone that ENGINEER & BUILD everything you see & consume. We're all part of that system & it can't be allow to collapse.🤑🧐

    Rubbish connection

    • SpeedAU on 31/05/2025 - 13:35

      i laugh at this stuff. cause its such a broad statement, I have dual sim 1 Telstra, and 1 Optus, Also vodafone as a test. I was out in regional and optus had coverage but vodafone did not this is due to Optus using the 700mhz band and Vodafone does not have access to that. smokes and mirrors after this regional deal. Telstra is shocking in the metro areas so consistently Optus is actually better, you get better experience and consistency and this shows in the results of OpenSignals report

      Edit : found coles

    • kevindo on 02/06/2025 - 15:48

      Called OW on their 1300 and the operator won't do price match until they need to "verify" it is identical with the Coles one. Went to the Local OW store and they also refused to price beat due to there is no "barcode/item number" they can refer to say it is the "same item". Don't bother trying with OW with their price beat promise and it is just a joke. They are so dodgy.

  • bootlace on 31/05/2025 - 13:26

    High value Optus cash back deals (from ShopBack or Cash Rewards) should be banned on OzB until Optus starts actually paying out.

    At best, it's false advertising that sometimes works; at worst - an intentioned scam.

    Upvoted because I bought 3 Optus sims over a few months under a similar deal with cashrewards and although they took a while to pay, they all came through in something like six months and tracked for a total of $290.

  • felixyong on 31/05/2025 - 13:35

    I saw in the T&C for Cashrewards indicate no eSIM.

    Does it mean I need to get the SIM option and later go to Optus to covert to eSIM?

    • SpeedAU on 31/05/2025 - 13:38

      correct but i would wait until you got your cashback as its tracked based on the order if you convert then you have effectively left in cashrewards mind

  • djoz on 31/05/2025 - 13:40

    Well I saw there's $12 Cashback on $13 SIM (RRP $39) for 45 GB
    Good deal for $1 effectively but looks like getting the Cashback is a serious problem.

    I am looking for some no-cost, high-data 1 month SIM. Any recommendations?

    Just purchased.
    Tracked in 7 minutes from purchase. Only plan on activating the sim in July, which should be fine as dont see anything in the terms to activate in a certain time frame.

    Ive never had any issues with cashbacks from Cashrewards and Shopback.
    Just make sure to shop using the app or a browser without any ad blocking. I used Brave browser last time and had an issue with tracking but Cashrewards team helped me after I lodged a missing cashback.

    Edit: Thanks OP for posting this! Good deal for a 300gb 1 year sim plan.

    Not suggest Optus if you travel overseas, Optus disable your service on purpose if you don't have an active roaming Extra, which means you cannot receive any verification SMS.

      Optus prepaid when overseas won’t even authenticate on to a network to receive SMS for free unless you purchase some form of roaming add-on or extra credit.

      Nothing listed on this particular plan but I eventually found T & C's for all plans that say the following: Activate included SIM within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised on a promotion, whichever is earlier, to receive advertised inclusions.

      Since nothing written on plan I assume the 30 days after purchase applies and deal ends 30/6.

      My current KOGAN 365 expires end July so this won't work for me either. Hopefully more deals coming later this month for EOFY.

        Even in the worst-case scenario where the “advertised inclusions” don’t apply due to delayed activation, which I don’t think is the case anyways, the plan would just revert to the standard $350 Optus Flex Plus offer. It will still give you 220GB of data, unlimited calls/texts, and international minutes for 365 days. Hope that helps!

  • CVonC on 01/06/2025 - 15:04

    Are you eligible for the $12 cashback on the $13 deal as well as this one? Or does it have to be different email address?

    Also once you activate the physical sim can you change it to an eSIM straight away and still be eligible for cashback?

    Can't trust Cashrewards. I had a Hotel (agoda) cashback that automatically tracked via their site (no dispute or support intervention). I completed my stay at the hotel, waited a few weeks/months as noted in their terms, and then suddenly it went to $0 saying that it did not originate from their site when I contacted support. You can't trust these people.

      End of last year there was a similar deal. Got it for my son and it was all good.

      My plan with Kogan (e-SIM) just expired and this is pretty much the best 365day plan i can find at 275-150 = $125.

      Did that last night, whole process took about 15min and all good. Tracked in Cashreward already.
