          First time wirh Optus, already regret it. If I goto my basement, no coverage and my friend said my voice kept dropping while I was driving talking to him lol 😂 so a bad internet and coverage even when I am on 5G as opposed to boost

    This looks like a good deal on paper.

    However, my personal experience is, it never tracked in my cashrewards app via phone or browser on pc. Now I'm in the process of hassling Optus to cancel both prepaid sims…

    Complete waste of time.

    • PipSqueakables on 18/06/2025 - 22:06

      It tracks for me. CR knows I have purchased it after 5 minutes.

      • Trishool on 18/06/2025 - 23:02
        +6

        Tracking and payout are two different things. Something one realises when the cashback service makes an excuse not to pay the cashback amount (almost always blaming it on the merchant).

        • PipSqueakables on 19/06/2025 - 01:15
          +3

          I understand that, however I think it'd be hard for cashrewards to argue that I didn't click via them if my purchase isn't tracked at all. In this case, my purchase has been tracked so I have a higher confidence level of getting a cashback.

          • Trishool on 19/06/2025 - 08:17
            +1

            @PipSqueakables: They won't deny it tracked, but generally they'll come back with an excuse about the merchant not approving the cashback for some reason and there's nothing they can do about it. Large cashbacks like this are a gamble.

            • ab c on 19/06/2025 - 09:25

              @Trishool: It's the nature of of the beast: money-back claims are NON-transparent. When buyers lose, there is NO-audit trail to provide proof of what went wrong-> Optus &/or CashRewards can wash their hands. When amounts are HIGHER, so is the incentive to SELECTIVE-SCAMMING. MINORITY of buyers will gamble & fail…encourage by those who succeed.

              The limited-days on offer: borderline-buyers…what does it do to your desire & thinking?

      Second this. Exactly my experience.

      To make matters worse, Optus didn't activate the right plan and transferred a blank sim card.

      Needless to say I said (profanity) this, activated my Boost Mobile Prepaid.

      For my other mobile, I ended up purchasing through Woolworth directly instead of the price beat from Officeworks, as they said the deal had to be online and the catalogue wouldn't cut it. They would only pricebeat if it was an online retailer. Woolworth's sale was online for instore. There were 3rd party resellers of the card, but it was for 329 - I said (profanity) that

        Same here, no issues with my Cashrewards cashback from last November: https://imgur.com/a/eyzPAoH

        In general, I use a dedicated browser with no installed extensions AND a VPN (since I use Pi-hole with my router). I very, very rarely have cashback tracking issues.

      • Haunt on 18/06/2025 - 23:40

        Did you purchase a physical SIM or an eSim for this?

        • TurkeyBargain on 18/06/2025 - 23:52

          For the Nov offer I went with a physical SIM.

      • brich1980 on 19/06/2025 - 10:27

        Same here. No issue with physical SIM purchase and got $100 cashback. Looks like the issue is about buying eSIM. Just get physical SIM instead and it should be fine.

    • raunak21 on 19/06/2025 - 00:12

      My experience was the same - Cashrewards said esim was not included in the T&Cs but I 100% clearly remember it was, and they tried every possible way to avoid giving me the cashback. After a lot of hassling, they added it to my account in Pending state and said it is possible that Optus might reject it. The success rate is just too low - avoid!

    • juddy90 on 29/06/2025 - 10:04

      This deal worked for me previously with cash out completed.. not sure why it didn’t work for you

  • Captain Hindsight on 18/06/2025 - 22:07

    Thx op but I think you have to put price before cashback in title, hence report by someone.

  • Optimus Prime on 18/06/2025 - 22:08

    Do it at your own risk. Purchased this offer earlier on the 12/06 and CB never tracked . its a nightmare to cancel the sim and you have to call multiple times to get to someone who works in the pre-paid plans team. I had to reject the sim delivery and now chasing them up for a refund. its one expensive sim if the CB doesnt track. Get a pricebeat from OW instead even if its a bit pricey. Even if it tracks , CR support is useless and you will be following up for months to get it approved.

    • WayneOZ on 01/07/2025 - 23:20

      I saw this deal last time when it was first posted (and I saw your reply as well - thx for sharing), and just wanted to share my experience. I clicked through the CR app and made the purchase, but the cashback didn’t track initially. I waited the full 7 days (as per CR’s site, tracking can take 1–7 days) for the “Make a Claim” button to become available.

      I submitted the claim online with no issues. While CR’s policy says it can take up to 25 business days to process cashback claims, mine was approved in just 6 business days — the $150 cashback showed up in my account this Monday from a $275 purchase. No drama, no back and forth. The claim process was smooth and required no additional communication.

      Now I’m enjoying what I think is the best prepaid plan in a long time — $125 for 300GB with 5G and a generous international call/data package across many countries.

      Just thought I’d share — CR came through for me, and overall it was a pretty hassle-free experience.

  • turk182 on 18/06/2025 - 22:12

    Use a pc clean browser no blockers, Cashrewards toolbar activated. Cashrewards claimed i used a different cashback site to purchase it. Sttaight up liars, i got my cashabck in the end after many emails calling them out but im sure they have denied many

    "Unfortunately the reason your order didn't initially track into your account is because Cashrewards have not been attributed to your sale, which means that another marketing channel has received commission for your sale instead of us.  As a result, we don’t have any funds from the store for this purchase to pass back to you as cashback"

      Yeah this type of thing is a good reason to use Microsoft's bloatware browser instead of whatever browser you typically use.

      • braddsey on 19/06/2025 - 16:35

        I always try to purchase via the ios app (i assume there is an android version). Hard to argue it didn’t track when you purchase via the embedded browser in the app.

  • nowich on 18/06/2025 - 22:14

      Sir, this is Cashrewards.

      I had a few Optus on Cashrewards, with the latest one was a 365 days on Black Friday deal, tracked and paid off successfully. However yeah, it's always a riskier when buying long plan, if it doesn't track, it's not a good price.

    Take this up at your own risk. Cashrewards didn't honour an Optus cashback offer for me last year. And by the time they confirmed that they couldn't honour it because Optus says my order was not eligible, it was waaay past any return or cancellation date (more than 6 months).

    Deleted my account with cashrewards after that. Was going downhill after TA made his exit anyways

    Chiming in with another caution - tracking didn't work on a $350 cash back with Optus via ShopBack recently. Seems probable Optus are banking on this - just look at the Red Sea of negs above.

    • WayneOZ on 19/06/2025 - 09:48

    • WayneOZ on 19/06/2025 - 09:44

      I think cr has got some problems with their mobile app recently. It cannot be logged in for the whole last weekend and on Monday this issue was fixed, but then it still happened intermittently until yesterday. I'm sure not my NBN's fault.

      Mine hasn't been tracked as well but I'll be able to file the case tomorrow. Let's see what happens.

      • Pistoll on 19/06/2025 - 17:54

  • PeeDee on 19/06/2025 - 11:53

    On another note, looking back at my tracking claims, I've never really seen one that got declined, so maybe it's just Optus?

    • WayneOZ on 19/06/2025 - 18:06

      I'm 99% sure it's on Optus end.

      • PeeDee on 19/06/2025 - 18:09

        Yeah, CR and Optus made a deal with each other. Must be in the Ts and Cs. Optus not following on and leeching of the benefits. CR should do something about it though…Optus exploiting.

  • Herszek on 19/06/2025 - 12:03

    Always check before proceeding to payment if Cashrewards picked up the transaction properly. There is a difference between "post-paid" and "pre-paid". Best would be to turn off all adblockers, activate PREPAID cashback, go to the Optus website and then confirm that cashrewards (before payment) have registered that as "prepaid" - use "report missing transaction" panel to confirm it. Had to return/cancel my order with optus as CR registred my transaction as postpaid

    • Pistoll on 19/06/2025 - 17:53

      I suspect this is why mine has not tracked. There's a mix of both showing. I managed to cancel the order after 2 hours with Optus live chat and 4 transfers between departments.

  • mrdravid on 19/06/2025 - 13:10

    • bobokingdom on 19/06/2025 - 16:27

      Did you have any other services in your Optus Account? I wonder whether having NBN service will count as existing users (instead of New).

  • MJD91 on 19/06/2025 - 19:07

  • alan737 on 19/06/2025 - 19:46

    I originally had my number with Optus a few years ago and have since ported it to Belong and a few other providers. Would I still be eligible for this cashback offer? Also, do I need to create a new cashback account to qualify as a new sign-up?

    • Herszek on 19/06/2025 - 22:05

      asfaik you need just new email with optus and just it, look in previous deals for others feedback
