Costs $205 after cashback for 290GB 12-month prepaid SIM. Boost has reduced the price from $300 to $255.
Update: Offer expires on 26th June 11:59pm AEST.
28-Day SIM cashback offer posted here.

  • Cashback is on the purchase of the physical SIM only. You can convert to eSIM after you have received the physical SIM. Activate the physical SIM first, then convert to eSIM.
  • If you're a current Boost customer, you will need to port out into another provider and then port back into Boost. Please see the steps in my comment here.

TA's Tracking Tips:

  • Prior to using TopCashback, disable/remove all 3rd party plugins (AdBlock, uBlock, Pi-hole, Honey, etc), VPNs, and avoid browsers such as Brave.
  • For iOS device: Apart from ensuring you’re not using an AdBlock app for Safari, the most important one is to ensure you have ‘Prevent Cross-Site Tracking’ turned off (see here).

What will stop me getting my cashback

  • SIM must be activated within 30 days of purchase, and must not be deactivated until your cashback is payable. If the SIM is deactivated prior, Boost may decline cashback.
  • Multiple SIM purchases need to be made as separate transactions. If there is more than one SIM in an order, it will result in an untracked purchase and the purchase will be ineligible for cashback.
  • Cashback is ineligible on eSIMs, recharges, phones, bundles, accessories.
  • Cashback is ineligible on use of any codes not approved and posted by TopCashback.
  • Cashback is ineligible on use of gift cards for payment and/or purchase of gift cards.
  • Cashback is ineligible on purchases made via the retailer's mobile app.

What else is essential

  • Engaging with plugins such as Honey, AdBlock, uBlock, Pi-hole, VPNs, and browsers such as Brave may prevent your order from tracking.
  • You must always return to TopCashback and click the pink cashback button through to the retailer's website for each new transaction. Ensure the TopCashback link is the last one used to visit the retailer's website prior to completing your purchase.
  • Any accounts that engage in fraudulent orders/activities to game/cheat the cashback system will be banned and cashback forfeited.

        Same here. Bought one in Feb end deal. Never got the cashback despite putting couple of words in with customer service 😃. Never again with TopCashback !

        • trixieb on 17/06/2025 - 22:15

          @greywine Hello again. We had spoken in my previous Boost posts in June and March. Was your claim rejected or did customer support ask you to wait? Hopefully Boost will pay soon.

          • greywine on 18/06/2025 - 22:15

            @trixieb: My cashback claim has not been rejected. It never got tracked in the first place. Support ticket has been raised which has not received any response even after 4 months. With this level of service I will think twice before using TopCashback again.

            • trixieb on 18/06/2025 - 22:43

              @greywine: Did you use these links to contact TopCashback that I gave you before?
              The first is the actual claims page and the second is support where there would be a response in 48 hours. I'm surprised you haven't heard back from anyone. I used these links to contact them about my claims and got a response within a few days. I was also wondering when they would pay as they were silent for a long time.

              • greywine on 18/06/2025 - 22:48

                @trixieb: Yes have used the first link for the claim registration. The app does show a claim (with retailer as current status ) but it’s hasn’t moved for almost 3 months now. But as you said it sometimes takes even longer for any update.

                • trixieb on 18/06/2025 - 22:57

                  @greywine: For reassurance, you can reply to them in the claims page and also contact support to ask them to check. TopCashback would be waiting for Boost to check the claim and then pay them.

                  In terms of not receiving a response, that seems normal during the cashback claims process with all the cashback sites. I also didn't hear from Cashrewards and contacted them but it didn't speed up the process.

                • trixieb on 19/06/2025 - 01:05

                  @greywine: To clarify, the Support link is the one to use for a response within 48 hours. You may not get a reply with the claims link.

          I don't understand why people torture themselves by purchasing anything with cashback. You need to throw away some personal and banking info of yours in the hope of getting cashback at there mercy of sellers while you can get direct discount. If you guys stop supporting all these cashback nonsenses, they will go back to traditional discount which more transparent, and straightforward without compromising your personal information.

        Oh no…maybe I should have got the Onepass or Kogan sim which is $100 cheaper :-(

        • trixieb on 17/06/2025 - 22:27

          @congo Has your order tracked? I prefer Boost over those 2 you mentioned.

          TopCashback in my experience is more reliable than ShopBack and Cashrewards so you chose well.

          Cashback payment for Boost is about 3 months (if tracked). Missing cashback claims may take longer while waiting for Boost to check and pay.

          • greywine on 18/06/2025 - 22:19

            @trixieb: I definitely don’t share same views. TopCashback never tracked my boost and superloop claims. After raising tickets for missing cashback, I only received cashback for superloop after 3 months. But stilll awaiting any update on boost.

            • trixieb on 18/06/2025 - 22:31

              @greywine: That's normal waiting period for cashback claims with TopCashback and other cashback sites, depending on the retalier. Even when orders are tracked and not missing, cashback payment takes about 3 months for most retailers and longer with others such as Superloop and Exetel (when tracked).

              I've had claims with all the cashback sites and waited 7 months to be paid with Cashrewards (ordered in July 2024 and paid in Feb 2025) with several reminders.

      • trixieb on 17/06/2025 - 21:42

        @iamnotintheuk I assume your order has tracked. Cashback from Boost offer in April wouldn't have been paid yet. Cashback is usually paid in about 3 months and probably due this month. Estimated payable of the order in your account would state 15 weeks (max) but is usually earlier.

        My Boost order in March is confirmed but still hasn't been paid. That's normal for cashback. My Feb Boost order has been paid. Depending on the retailer, cashback may take 3-5 months to be paid.

    • trixieb on 17/06/2025 - 20:53

      I posted that offer. Different network. That is Optus 4G+. This is Telstra 5G.

      • DrScavenger on 17/06/2025 - 20:54

        Is it really a big difference? Worth the difference?

        • trixieb on 17/06/2025 - 21:04

          It depends on your location, usage and device. Boost costs more but it has 5G, more data at 290GB and uses the Telstra network that may work better in some remote areas.

          I'm in Perth metro and use Telstra. I find Telstra > Boost > Optus (amaysim) > Vodafone (Lyca).

  • justtoreply on 17/06/2025 - 20:39

    It needs to be $255 always, not just when on sale.

    • tunzafun001 on 17/06/2025 - 21:57

      Same..

      Boost/ Telstra towers are massively congested. They told me to report them to the TIO (go figure)…so guessing support workers have had a gut full of complaints.

      But then they simply close your complaint.

      Pro tip - Copy/paste your complaint email as a fresh email. Delete any reference to a complaint number (as it will auto bounce back as a closed complaint).

      Write your number / old complaint number as misspelt words, and send.

      Will reopen a closed case.

      I just moved to Vodafone (gulp)..and sadly much better.

      I assume Telstra will soon be Team Elon ….tower maintenance/ updates aren't happening.

      The price point for this needs to be around $150.

      • JSONBourne on 17/06/2025 - 21:58

        Yep it's useless for me in the CBD now. Use to be quite fast but it really does feel slow, especially since 3G was turned off weirdly.

        • trixieb on 17/06/2025 - 22:18
          +1

          It depends on your location. Telstra and Boost are better for me than Vodafone. Telstra and Boost work well in some remote areas eg remote/regional WA compared to others.

          • tunzafun001 on 17/06/2025 - 22:51

            @trixieb: Totally agree. But like the other user….when 3G was around I was getting a premium product and was happy to pay a premium price.

            But now I cant even open an email between 12 and 6pm. I've never experienced anything that bad with any provider.

            Was told tower congestion to be rectified Feb 25, pushed back to March, pushed back to April..pushed back to no set date (and advised I should report this to the TIO)

            I live central metro in direct eye line of the tower approx 250m away. I cant be the only person effected. But it's an older area…everyone would be on Telstra.

            Hence I tried Vodafone. 1/3 the price. No issues.. but they are rebuilding their brand.

            P.S. I got given a couple months on Telstra for free. But even free it wasn't worth the hassle. Bit sad really. This is Telstra..but feels anything but Telstra.
            Just to reiterate…free Telstra is too much here!

    • trixieb on 19/06/2025 - 01:00

      Unfortunately cashback may be rejected if you don't activate within 30 days. That's a common term with SIM card purchases through cashback.
      There will probably be Boost offers next year that you can buy through cashback.

      If you buy on 26th June (last day of cashback offer), you can activate on 25th July and be within the 30 day activation term.

      Can also be an issue for new customers. Several OzBargainers had mentioned they were blocked from buying with the same payment error message but have never been with Telstra/Boost before.

      I haven't bought the Boost 28-Day SIM yet but was blocked from buying from the Telstra store last month. Had to use a relative's details (with ID check) to buy. We are both current Telstra customers.

        • trixieb on 26/06/2025 - 21:00

          Sorry Telstra/Boost may have blocked you temporarily. You may have to use another person's ID who is at home to receive the SIM or go to the post office to pick up (ID check req).

          I had a similar experience with buying from the Telstra store as a Telstra customer. Had to use a relative's ID to buy as the different combination hacks didn't work.

          If you experience any issues at the checkout page, start all over again to ensure tracking. Click the pink button at TopCashback through to Boost website again.

          • ilovefood12345 on 26/06/2025 - 21:09

    • trixieb on 26/06/2025 - 21:38

      You can use the same TopCashback account but buy the 2 SIM cards separately. Start again and click the pink button at TopCashback through to Boost website again.

      T&Cs:

      Multiple SIM purchases need to be made as separate transactions. If there is more than one SIM in an order, it will result in an untracked purchase and the purchase will be ineligible for cashback.

  • tftwx on 26/06/2025 - 22:02

    Just wondering, on Boost's website it says "290GB on new activations by 7 July 2025. 240GB ongoing."

    Does it mean I only get 240GB if I activate after 7 July?

    • trixieb on 26/06/2025 - 22:08

      You will get at least 240GB. If Boost has a bonus offer at the time of activation, you will receive that bonus offer. Boost seems to have bonus offers quite often.

      SIM must be activated within 30 days of purchase.
