290GB 365 day expiry for $195. ($225 + $30 Costco voucher).
Costco executive members get an extra 2% off to just over $190.
Beats the recent $60 cashback deal through Topcashback.
Bought at Costco Melbourne, offer expires 26 October 2025
Activate by 2 March 2026
I would say so. Haven't seen it any cheaper. It's a great price for 290gb on Telstra over 12 months
probably
Victoria sucks not Australia who cares
Those in Victoria I suspect.
Is it available in Sydney's Costco?
Yes saw it at Auburn on Friday
Last week deal is better around 200?
This one is $195 if you value the $30 Costco gift card voucher
Executive membership not normal membership ⁉️
$195 for normal membership and around $191 for executive membership
Will this work to renew an existing Boost sim?
Short answer No, but there's a work around ;)
Like port out to another provider, then port back in?
Yes buy a $2 sim, port out and back in again
@Aussiebargainer: ive tried to do this but when i resign up as a "new customer" it has me go back to my existing customer and then after i put in alllll the info, it gives me an error message.
@oliveju: I honestly buy cheaper starter cards from anywhere for a month ; usually 10 aud or around that price for the month and then gracefully transfer again after the 28 days or the month with another telco. Makes you also appreciate if others are as good as Telstra network in your area.

50GB (includes Bonus 18GB)
first renewal $12
Save $18 first renewal
Ongoing is $30 for 32GB/28 days.
Ends 30/10/25. Activate by 14/11/25.
Brought it last week, will have to go back tomorrow get $25 back
Same here. Would they give refund if we go back? Or need to return?
They have a policy if an item goes on sale after you bought it in the last 30 days, you can go to the refunds counter and get a refund of the difference. You don't need the product.
I recently did this for some luggage.
Thanks. I’ll try it tomorrow
Thanks for sharing. I’ll try today myself. 🤞
Can you buy fuel with the $30 Costco Shop card?
Never tried , ring their customer service
I don't think you can - I asked at customer services and they said no
all stores or just this store in vic?
Def in QLD just grabbed it
Cheers mate , could you please tell what store in QLD?
Northlakes for me
Says Maximum purchase 3, is that per account our per transaction?
I just purchsed 3 in one transaction
I bought 3+1, just asked the collection person if I could get another one to save another trip, no questions asked, it wasn’t that busy so maybe that helped.
Wow good deal, is it not at all Costco?
2 days ago it was $250 at Sydney costcos
Wish I was a Costco member to get this
Go sign up?
If you are in VIC I might be able to help
Giggidy!!!
How do you get the shop cards? Does the cashier issue them or do you have to follow a different process? Keen on getting 3 myself.
Once you activate the Boost sim card, the $30 gift card will be emailed to the address linked to the membership. Can't remember how long after activation though.
I heard activation was not required for receiving the gift card
That's right. Just bought the telstra deal, got the gift card and no need to activate.
Cheers OP, nabbed three myself all in one transaction. Heaps more available at Costco Epping.
Bought the testra deal in June , still waiting on $30 credit. Have raised a ticket.
isbn't Kogan mobile cheaper 360GB for 180$
Boost has access to the full Telstra network, Kogan is Vodafone. Completely different.
Fair - tbh i haven't noticed any difference with networks and coverage
Available in Coomera
Do I need to activate the sim before 26 OCT 2025 to receive the shop card?
You get the shop card when you buy it at Costco
So you need to purchase by 26th October
Nope. It gets emailed to your Costco account a few days after purchase.
what happens if you dont activate by March 2026
Anyone know how to receive this shop card?
Still waiting on mine to appear in my email or costco card.
they are normally emailed
ripper deal, i literally activated my mine today that i paid $244 for from an ebay store..
Does anyone know if this is available in SA?
Yes it is
Available in Costco Ipswich
Was there many left?
Keen to go tomorrow.
Yes , but you are always better off by calling them and confirming, they are in the tech section where you have all tvs and phone at the entrance.
plenty in stock 26/10 - 10:00am
Can this be eSIM?
yes
I believe you need to activate a physical sim first then change it to eSIM
Is this deal available in WA stores too?
Australia Wide but costco membership required
Does anyone know if i can activate this porting from Telstra? Thanks
Yes Porting from Telstra is quiet instant and easy because Boost is on Telstra network
Anyone knows when it needs to be activated by ?
According to OP - 2nd March 2026. But probably best to check before purchasing. :)
think that’s OPs sim expiry date , my sim expires in 2027. I can’t see anywhere it says has to be activated by March 2026. All I was told is you would get the GC once the card is activated.
Its printed on the large card in-store. I took a photo but cannot upload. Mentions must be activated by March 2026.
Wish they would go back to the lower data cap for cheaper prices. Barely use over 100gb so don't need to pay for 300. Got an Optus Sim through catch for $150 with 200gb.
For the SIM churners, do you transfer out on the day before expiry, or on the day?
Even with my 12m plans I churn 1-3 days before in case it goes wrong and I lose my mob number.
I do that too eventhough porting is pretty fast on weekdays.
Is it availabele in Moorabin store?
take a walk and check it out
If I buy 3 in one transaction do I only get 1 Costco card? Should I buy them in separate transactions?
Depending on whetber you want telstra or optus network.
Plenty @Coomera, got one and forgot to ask how to get $30 shop card. How do i get this shop card?
Emailed in few days
Anybody sees it in Ringwood, VIC?
that's good bargain bro, is it still available at Cosco Ardeer in Melbourne? Thank.
just to confirm that there's heap in Cosco Ardeer, Mel. I've been there yesterday arvo.
Expired now I’m assuming?
Just picked up two from Epping VIC store was heaps there… Need to port out and back in… What cheap Sim card does everyone use for this?
Does it include unlimited national calls and text? Any international free call minutes? Is there a link to the full plan details?
Thank you.
No worries mate :)
Can confirm there are plenty of stock at Costco Perth airport at the same price.
Bought 2 with separate receipts at Deer Park store. Was tol that the voucher(s) would be emailed to me once activation is done.
