    Does it need to be activated by a certain period for the cashback?

      I bought two from previous deals and activated them after they paid out.

  • ab c on 31/05/2025 - 13:50

    @Big-Deal, pls consider listing ALL the criteria that must-be-meet, eg https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/904744

    I understand '1st ever sign-up' criteria was needed for Optus-money-back deals? Has this changed to 'new services only' & sited-> https://www.optus.com.au/prepaid/sim-plans?irclickid=Su-w1-z…

    • Big-Deal on 31/05/2025 - 15:49

      Listed now by mod I guess

    $12 is probably the most you should trust Optus to return to you via ShopBack / Cash Rewards.

    Ask these two questions before buying from Optus: how many meals would I lose when they don't pay out & how much do I mind having my personal data leaked?

    • jimojr on 31/05/2025 - 14:00

      And how much time am I prepared to waste chasing them if the cashback isn’t honoured?

      Good advice generally but just chiming in to say my last $100 Optus/Cashrewards tracked and paid out fine. Tracked 20/11/24, paid 06/03/25.

      • Kuyaozb on 31/05/2025 - 14:33

        mine wasn't, had to chase up repeatedly and i followed all the rules

  • SaberXLancer on 31/05/2025 - 14:09

    Tracked in 2 min. But I don’t know if it is 30 days to activate the physical sim?

  • fleetoiler on 31/05/2025 - 14:10

    Warning these Sims don't work in a 4g modem after a while, Optus detects that it's a modem somehow and gives an error saying this plan/sim is only for phones. Can still hotspot off a phone just a bit of a hassle.

    • mitt on 31/05/2025 - 16:12

      Best way to bypass this is to buy a GL.net router & tether a phone to it so it shows up with a phones IMEI https://www.ozbargain.com.au/brand/gl-inet1 All the Gl.net routers use what is basically openWRT so they are super flexible.

      If a good NBN deal comes up I can swap to that for a few months using the same router, nothing on my home network needs to change. It also has auto fail-over if you want a landline with a mobile backup but dont want to be locked into a carrier router.

      I have a flint 2 with an old phone & can swap in a fresh sim each month without issue. Works great for carriers that block non-phone usage like Felix too.

  • Kuyaozb on 31/05/2025 - 14:12

    "Cashback is paid once per order/transaction, regardless of the number of plans purchased on that order."
    if i made 2 separate order, will i get 2 cashback?

    • fatgooseGYM on 31/05/2025 - 14:57

      I think so, I bought 2, tracked twice

    • Big-Deal on 31/05/2025 - 15:44

      Yeah just need to act as a new optus customer each time

    Optus cashback!! You have been warned!

    • Kuyaozb on 31/05/2025 - 14:31

    It took forever however I just received my $100 cashback last week (via cash rewards) from an Optus Sim purchased back on 01/12/2024

    • Kuyaozb on 31/05/2025 - 14:34

      Do you need to follow up with email or it will tracked after long long time?

  • Palindrome777 on 31/05/2025 - 14:35

    I had to contact them as it never tracked

    • Kuyaozb on 31/05/2025 - 14:35

    I read all these T&C, but could not find the time frame, 30days? anyone has idea?

    • Big-Deal on 02/06/2025 - 16:38

      Activate included SIM within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised on a promotion, whichever is earlier, to receive advertised inclusions.

      Plans may no longer be available or may have changed if you do not activate your SIM within 30 days of purchase.

    I entrusted all my personal Identification details to a company run by LNP rejects and they ended up on the dark web for sale.

    Tracked with browser in 8mins, not bad.

  • TomGum on 31/05/2025 - 17:19

    Any one experienced approval of cashback even without activation?

  • wavesgreen on 31/05/2025 - 18:15

    Tracked via app within 8mins. Thanks to others reporting their track/no track status.

    Looks like I won't have to chase up initial tracking with Cashrewards this time.

    • UrMumsOnlyFan on 31/05/2025 - 21:50

      Likewise around 8 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise considering CR's form with Optus. I screencapped every single step of the purchase process just in case.

  • jon on 31/05/2025 - 18:33

    Bought 2 and both tracked within 10 minutes

    After 5 hours still no luck :(

    • eeeee on 31/05/2025 - 21:06

      Did u use app or website?

      • Kuyaozb on 31/05/2025 - 21:17

        website

        • eeeee on 31/05/2025 - 21:59

          I did it through app. Tracked pretty quickly

      Are you already with Optus with the same email Id you used to purchase this?

  • Iluvfreebies on 01/06/2025 - 06:38

    Does new sign up means new optus customers or new number

    • jimojr on 01/06/2025 - 07:58

      New number.

  • ilovefullprice on 01/06/2025 - 13:30

    I just realized in the Cashrewards app, there are two types of Optus cashbacks, “Optus Prepaid SIM” and “Optus Postpaid Mobile” (see screenshot below). If I accidentally clicked on “Optus Postpaid Mobile” for this deal, will it still work?

    • Big-Deal on 01/06/2025 - 13:40

      No it won't unless you bought a postpaid plan

        Bugger.

        Thanks heaps.

        • jon on 02/06/2025 - 18:38

          Did it track for you? I'm not sure if it matters because it has prepaid plans listed on cashrewards even if you click the postpaid link.

          • ilovefullprice on 02/06/2025 - 18:58

            @jon: I does matter.

            I tried another order with the correct “Optus Prepaid SIM” and it pretty much tracked immediately, but the wrong one still hasn’t tracked.

  • ilovefullprice on 02/06/2025 - 15:30

    Anyone know the date when must this SIM be activated by before the SIM expires?

    • Big-Deal on 02/06/2025 - 16:38

      Activate included SIM within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised on a promotion, whichever is earlier, to receive advertised inclusions.

      Plans may no longer be available or may have changed if you do not activate your SIM within 30 days of purchase.
