    Now just to find out if it's also valid at my local woolies! Will give it a shot :)

    • macmine on 10/12/2014 - 22:24

      1 per person. Of course, some might be thinking of going back once everyday, but I'm not sure if one offer is redeemable PER card. Now that will be another story then!

      Usual
      "1 per customer"
      "While stocks last"
      Probably linked to your REGISTERED EDR card, so handy if your household has more than 1.

        So far I have managed 2 per person with the same EDR card……one on 17/12 and one just now on 19/12 at the same store. Second transaction went thru seamlessly and $29 deducted when the CSR scanned my EDR card - even she commented on how good the Telstra deal is and was unaware of it until I showed her what to do….from my knowledge gained in this forum, lol

    Cheapest Telstra Starter Packs ever!

    Plenty of time to find out if it's nation-wide. I'm arriving back in Oz around then, so will be following this deal.

    I've checked the expiry of these multi-fit new generation SIM packs at Harvey Norman. They expire in at least September 2016. Plenty of time :)

      not really, the SIM packs i bought at Harvey Norman expired at 2/6/2015. only another 6 months

      • macmine on 10/12/2014 - 23:44

        Were your packs exactly the same design as in the picture above by the OP? Not the Orange, nor green not pink ones. Design exactly like the picture above- those are ones I found with the later expiry date. :)

    • ShootingStar3388 on 10/12/2014 - 22:59

      You've got to make the $30 or more purchase on your EDR card between 17 - 24 Dec 14 to get the receipt, then present this receipt by 31 Dec 14 (at the latest) to get the starter kit for $1.

      • illumination on 10/12/2014 - 23:02

        Ah right so you have a little longer to actually redeem the offer but the initial spend must be done 17-24 Dec.
        Just noticed it's in the fine print sorry.

        • INFIDEL on 10/12/2014 - 23:14

          If there is any stock left by then, so get in early! Similar to previous $30 purchase promotions.

    • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2014 - 01:50

      So you mean refund the purchase if it doesn't go through as $1? I think that returning Pre-Paid products may be one of their exceptions of what they will return due to change of mind. I would definitely check with the Supervisor first.

      Unless you mean, get the $30 groceries, get the $1 Telstra, then refund $30 groceries. Yeah I'm going to agree with the others on that one that this would really be pushing their limits, but if they are willing to do so without you being deceptive or fraudulent about it, then there is nothing wrong with you taking advantage of that. I mean, or you could just buy $30 worth of groceries… it's not that hard… we all need groceries; I'm sure there are plenty of specials to be found anyway.

  • team teri on 11/12/2014 - 00:08

    So, what can one do with one of those starter kits? I am currently on Amaysim, but the unused part of my 10GB data will expire just in time for this offer, so that would be great timing to use a different SIM for a month or two…

      • INFIDEL on 11/12/2014 - 00:44

        Most of the questions asked about these Telstra Starter Packs has been compiled into that Ozbargain Wiki Guide to Telstra Starter Packs. From which plan for phone or data, what SIM size, what can I spend my credit on, discounts, how to activate one plan & switch to another for more benefits …

      • team teri on 11/12/2014 - 00:45

        Thanks for the link!

        Just to confirm I read this right: if I activate on the "Freedom" offer I get 800MB data and $220 worth of calls valid for 30 days and still have the $30 credit to be used on Google Play or to be transferred with Me2U?

        Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

        • INFIDEL on 11/12/2014 - 00:47
          +2

          Yes, the $30 credit is yours to spend (Google Play, maximum $10 at a time CreditMe2u to another Telstra SIM etc) on top of the prepaid cap & data.

          Check out how to move that credit over to a second SIM set up first as LongLife, then Simplicity Plan for 6 months of cheap calls paid by CreditMe2u transfers from the monthly Freedom Plan (which comes with free night calls to Australian numbers, etc).

          Always check Telstra site to confirm. It's hard to keep up to date. Telstra frequently changes, adds new offers, or reinterprets existing conditions.

          Check particularly the number of days in offer, as some have dropped to 28 days from memory.
          But a "sweet deal" for $1, with great coverage.

          Am overseas, so haven't been around to update
          It's an OzBargain Wiki - so feel free to update or correct.

        • Rambler on 11/12/2014 - 12:05

          @brucefromaustralia:

          Is this a definite, having the $30 Google play credit on top of the freedom offer?

          I thought you had to effectively spend the $30 in order to have the freedom offer applied to your account, thus leaving you no extra credit for Google play purchases.

          I always put the starter pack on the long life and then deduct Google play store purchases from there.

          Hopefully I'm wrong.

          @Rambler:
          It's true. Get the Freedom or other prepaid plan, and still have $30 actual credit to spend. See the Wiki for other advice.

          That's why I fail to see why people would use these packs just for Google Play, rather than a month of free calls (plus night calls etc) plus $30 credit to spend at Play etc as well.

          To think that I could have had 800MB of data and $220 worth of calls in addition to $30 Google Play credit.

          @illumination:
          LongLife-Simplicity Plans have worked well for me. See recommended Telstra prepaid phone strategies, including my budget recommendation…

          With this deal, I'll get 12 months connection & included 400 minutes of calls at 15c/min (2x$30 credit) for $2 :-)

          As per the Wiki strategy, peak usage periods use another $1 SIM for calls that month & $29 moved to LongLife-Simplicity SIM with CreditMe2u for more calls later. ($29 is maximum transfer of $10+$10+$9 due to 3 x 25c CreditMe2u transfer fees.)

          @jlqc5899:
          I've no experience doing that as I use a separate SIM to get 2GB for $1 in this deal, using a mobile WiFi device - a much cheaper deal. Should work ok.

          There are many ways to use these Starter Packs. I've just compiled others comments in many deals, & my own experience to make the Wiki. Add your own experiences there if it would be helpful to others.

        • illumination on 21/12/2014 - 01:06

          @brucefromaustralia: Do you know if the Long-life then Simplicity switch has to be done quite quickly for the "trick" to work? Just asking because I had a SIM activated as long life on 20/11/14 - it's been just over a month so not sure whether the long expiry will work if I know try and switch to simplicity..

      You have to spend $30 first & printed on the receipt will be a voucher to buy this deal. Take the voucher to the service counter to buy the starter kit for $1. I asked to buy one last week & WW staff said I need to go to the service counter & show photo id to purchase one?!? Glad I didn't bother as this weeks $1 deal is much better than last weeks deal @ $15.

          Yea you are right in that a temporary card works in those cases. But in unique offers such as this one and others in the past only registered rewards cards work. When your rewards card is scanned it comes up as registered or not on the screen.

          It doesn't say anything about getting a voucher in the promo…

          I'd try that and see before anything else!

          @AnDyStYLe:

          I was in a hurry this morning didn't do this. I will go there again after work and try it again

          I tendered my $30+ receipt at the customer service counter and despite some head scratching, bang; deal secured! Nothing about this deal was displayed at bottom of my receipt?

          @cim85: Yep I just collected mine just now. The CS at the counter didn't know about the offer so needed to show the catalog.

          Also he scanned my EDR card but it didn't take off the $29, so he put in manual refund of $29.

          Expiry date is June 2016, ballin' =D

          Good work, I am fairly sure the CSR processed a manual refund for me too as no automatic discount showed up on my EDR card…..a bit confusing but very happy I snagged it for $1 ….. Lowest price ever for a Telstra SIM!

      I just got the offer at Woden, Canberra. As per my post below, the groceries receipt didn't mention the Telstra deal on it but I showed the staff the catalog on my phone (I think its the same as the pile that were sitting on the service desk counter) and he ran the purchase up without question. I'd purchased $34 or so in groceries (no gift cards or anything that'd stand out as possibly being part of an exclusions list).

    Offer is on Page 31 of Victorian catalogue here, I can't select the terms and conditions on my phone but it does list stores where it's not available [catalogue] (http://m.woolworthsonline.com.au/Seasonal/Woolworths-Catalog…)
