PLEASE READ the Deal carefully before you purchase. Feel free to ask questions in the comments or via pm

The voucher will work on any amaysim Unlimited 5GB Plan. Its just a normal recharge so its not attached to the $2 SIM. The voucher will have a 12 month expiry.

You can get 5% off Big W eGift Card from groupon (Can be used at woolworths) to use with the deal

Here is an image of the Amaysim $2 SIM Pack Barcode Sold at Woolies for those who cant find any stock thanks to jonathonsunshine :

From page 24 of the catalogue, see Guy Incognito's post

Options for 12 months Prepaid Service (Cheapest in Australia)

Option 1: You have an amaysim Service and want to get one years worth of recharge (Total Cost $238.80)

This will cost you $19.90 X 12 = $238.80 ( or $226.90 with 5% off wish GC's)

Approach the service desk and ask for the offer. Some attendants will be happy to sell you 12 vouchers and some wont. So be prepared to potentially make a few trips, i find the night staff are more helpful than day staff.
Remember that every recharge will cost you $19.90 ($2 for sim pack and $17.90 for recharge). If you have no use for the multiple $2 sim packs, ask the attendant to use the same one. Then return it so other people can have a chance.
You can apply all the vouchers at once to your amaysim account and it will automatically deduct one every month.

Option 2: Buy 2 months amaysim Unlimited 5GB from Groupon for $29 and 10 months of recharge. (Total cost $225)

This will cost you $29 + $19.90 X 10 = $228 ( or ~ $218 with 5% off wish GC's)

  • Buy 2 months amaysim Unlimited from Groupon.
  • Groupon will email you a code to redeem at amaysim website.

Option 3: Buy 1st month Unlimited from Amaysim Directly using code SAVE60 and Buy 11 Recharge Vouchers. (Total cost $236.90)

This will cost you $17.96 + $19.90 X 11 = $236.90 ( or $225.90 with 5% off wish GC's)

Link to deal https://www.amaysim.com.au/mobile-plans/unlimited-5gb

Option 4: You wish to activate the $2 sim bought from Woolworths + buy 11 recharge vouchers (Total cost $236.90)

This will cost you $17.96 + $19.90 X 11 = $236.90 ( or $225.90 with 5% off wish GC's)

  • Go to this Link and it will take you to the SIM activation page
  • Click on Activate a mobile plan or data plan and proceed.

Applying recharge vouchers to your amaysim account

You can apply all the vouchers at once. With this method, the system will deduct one voucher per month (up to the number of vouchers entered).
As far as i know you can enter up to 12 vouchers at once (But please confirm with amaysim customer care if you want to enter more than 12 vouchers)

You can also enter one voucher per month. Please note the expiry date of vouchers will be ~ 12 months.

Use one of these methods to enter the voucher to your account

  • Via amaysim Android or iOS Apps
  • Via your amaysim Online account
  • Text VOU followed by the voucher number to 568 (i.e if voucher number is 123456, text VOU123456 to 568)
  • Call 555 and follow the prompts

Using this deal with Data Packs (i.e. 10GB Yearly Plan)

This may work recharging 10GB plans by contacting amaysim CSR directly.
Some have reported being able to apply the voucher as credit in my previous deal here. Although this will depend on the amaysim customer service representative.

However, amaysim are currently running a 30% off data promo using promo code SAVE30. You will be able to get the 10GB Yearly plan for ~ $70. Please note that with Data Plans, you will not get a referral credit.

EDIT 1: as per this comment , some woolworths have recharges enabled at self service.

EDIT 2: as per this Comment, there is no limit on how many recharges you can add to your amaysim prepaid account, as confirmed by amaysim customer service

EDIT 3: Townhall and Wynyard Woolworths (SYD) are only selling one per customer as per here and here

If you think this write up helped you save some good coin, and want to reward me (You also get a FREE Bonus $10 credit), feel free to use my referral link by following these steps

    For all those wondering about amaysim, here's what to do:

    grab $2 sim pack
    Proceed to self service. Do not go past normal checkout
    Scan sim
    Select mobile voucher, amaysim, $44.90 recharge from computer screen
    Watch screen show you $19.90 total
    Repeat steps 3 and 4, up to 7 times. Any more and it won't work in the same transaction
    Pay and call attendant
    Tell attendant you are buying recharges and they will authorise
    Proceed to Go, collect recharges
    Recharges have 12 month expiry. Load them into your account so you are a month or two ahead. They are treated as a normal $44.90 recharge for the 5gb plan. Amaysim have no idea you paid less for them.

      • nick111 on 02/08/2015 - 14:11

        so can i buy 7 sims and pay for the recharge vouchers and then proceed to service desk as mentioned by leeroys_dad? Can the service desk deny to provide the vouchers and will the system allow me to buy 7 sim cards and recharge vouchers ?

        • easternculture on 02/08/2015 - 14:14

          Can the service desk deny to provide the vouchers

          Depends on the person at the service desk. Choose a friendly one

          and will the system allow me to buy 7 sim cards and recharge vouchers ?

          They could process each one individually

          @easternculture: Thanks, will give that a try. Otherwise will just do 12 different transactions coz its cheaper than lebara and more data too.

      • snvl on 02/08/2015 - 16:39

        Is amaysim treat different? I bought 4 Telstra recharge last wed on the self service.

      • Pyrock on 08/08/2015 - 17:26

        It appears that it doesn't have to be done at the service desk as long as you have a SIM to scan (or a photo of the bar code from above?)

        Here is what i did today;

        Went to service desk, manager looking lady told me that I could only get one per person (the explanation was that you can only buy one SIM per Photo ID presented and she wouldn't budge on scanning the one SIM multiple times).
        I bought the one and then proceeded to go into the store as if I am buying more stuff - taking my newly purchased SIM with me.

        I went and picked up a packet of chips, then walked to one of the checkouts - looking for a youngish looking cashier. I gave them my chips, the SIM and told them about the deal and that I only wanted one SIM so I got them to put through another 7 recharges (seems this is the max) as well as scanning the sim 7 times.

        I then went back to the service desk - which had a different lady at the counter by now - and asked for the SIM and recharge again.
        This lady told me that the maximum was 6 recharges at once - so I bought my remaining 4 that i needed. She also handed me the 4 SIMs but I just told her to keep them as I don't need them.

        I am assuming you can take your SIM with you to the self serve as I know those recharges are available at my Woolworths at least, but you may run into problems there as I think each recharge needs to be OK'd by the Self Serve helper person (who may or may not be nice enough to let you get 7 at once)

        So I got my 12 recharges in the end (and a few really long receipts)

    • helloeatty on 02/08/2015 - 16:32

      The $2 sim pack or sim packs? Which means only one numbers but rechargeble with these deals ,right?

  • Arghs on 02/08/2015 - 13:11

    I tried to do the 10GB thing last time with the coles version of this deal.
    Spoke to the CSR via online chat. Just gave them the code (didn't mention where it came from), and they knew it was for the 5GB Unlimited plan only.
    Managed to talk them into applying the $44.90 to the account as credit, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have let me add multiples of the voucher (to use for the 10GB plan).

  • craigoss on 02/08/2015 - 13:34

    Can these be used as normal pre-paid credit (as you go, no plan)?

    • fatice on 02/08/2015 - 14:14

      Maybe it meant all you can use, it is unlimited. But after 5GB, you will be charged ?

    • sickllama on 02/08/2015 - 14:35

      I thought the unlimited referred to the calls/text allowance.

        Correct.

  • nick111 on 02/08/2015 - 14:05

    Isn't it normally limited to one per person/transaction ? Noticed catalogue does not mention anything like that though. Can i buy one sim and 12 recharges ?

    • easternculture on 02/08/2015 - 14:06

      Isn't it normally limited to one per person/transaction ?

      depends on the person at the service desk

      Can i buy one sim and 12 recharges ?

      No. its one sim per recharge so the recharge will cost you $19.90

  • squeeb on 02/08/2015 - 16:00

    Cheaper on Groupon. $15 for one month, $29 for two months. Use cashrewards and get more off.

    • easternculture on 02/08/2015 - 16:04

      and after that full price. This deal is aimed for those who want to recharge their existing amaysim plans.

      • squeeb on 02/08/2015 - 16:30

        Why not just buy a $2 Vodafone or Telstra sim and port out and back…

        • easternculture on 02/08/2015 - 16:31

          because some people find this way more convenient for them.

          True but its up to the free will of the person. Some may like to port out and back in (that's what i would do)

          Others just cant be bothered so this deal is ideal for them.

          Can u explain how it work?

        • squeeb on 02/08/2015 - 16:43

          @helloeatty:
          This is only for people who are currently on Amaysim and wish to keep their own number.

          To keep your number you need to port out to another provider eg Vodafone or Telstra. Then you port your number back.

          If you are currently with another provider or don't care about keeping your number, just buy from Groupon as they are cheaper.

          If you prefer to buy in bulk, then of course you would stock up now. But regulars on here would know that these deals and other prepaid deals come up very frequently so there is not really any real need to lock yourself in and potentially miss out on other deals (eg last month this same plan was just $1).

          If you order a new sim with the 10GB data pack is the data pack applied to the new sim number automatically or do you get a sim and a code for the 10GB Data pack that you use on other existing number?

          ie. Is there a way to get the 10GB for $70 for an existing mobile number?

  • kirynflare on 02/08/2015 - 17:53

    When you say the vouchers have 12 months expiry, do you mean 12 months expiry from when you buy them, or from when you activate them on your account?

    Currently on a post-paid plan which finishes in December, so wondering if I can buy now in advance for activation a few months down the track!

    • easternculture on 02/08/2015 - 17:54

      When you say the vouchers have 12 months expiry, do you mean 12 months expiry from when you buy them, or from when you activate them on your account?

      • kirynflare on 02/08/2015 - 17:56

    what is GC ? Gift Card ?

  • pyramid on 02/08/2015 - 23:18

    Option 4:
    1) Use pricepal referral link and download pricepal web app and create your account. So referral and referee will get $20 each in your account as bonus.
    2) Buy 1 month Unlimited 5 GB from your pricepal account for $44.90. This will give you $19.90 cashback.
    3) Since you already have $20 bonus in your account, pricepal will give you $20 + $19.90 = $39.90. So your total spend will be $44.90 - $39.90 = $5 for 5 GB UMLMTD plan.
    4) Buy 11 Recharge Vouchers. (Total cost $19.90 X 11 = $218.9)

    This will cost you $5 + $19.90 X 11 = $223.90 (or $212.90 with 5% off wish GC's)

    • easternculture on 02/08/2015 - 23:20

          another thing they will only pay cashback on certain promo codes.

          Cashback sites will NOT pay the amaysim cashback via the Groupon amaysim deal

        • pyramid on 02/08/2015 - 23:27

          @easternculture: For amaysim, they don't have any promo code at the moment so its even better.

        • easternculture on 02/08/2015 - 23:30

          @cniminc:

          Via Groupon amaysim deal, Groupon email you a promo code. The use of this promo code on the amaysim website invalidates the cashback i.e. cashback will not be paid

          Amaysim have 60% off Unlimited 5GB via promo code SAVE60 . Since this has not been approved by pricepal yet, the use of it invalidates the cashback too

      or according to leeroys_dad
      ($2 sim x 2) + (17.9x12) = 218.8
      save $321.2

    my brother bought a prepaid phone last month that is locked to optus. will this sim work seeing as it is on the optus network?

    My mobile is on a telstra 24 month plan. Does that mean that an amaysim data sim will not work for data if i put it in my phone?

    Also the $29 groupon deal for 2 months and 5 gigs does that mean 5 gb each month for a total of 10gb? Or 5gb spread over the 2 months. It doesnt really specify apart from just saying 5gb

      For $29, 5 gig each month for two months.

        Thanks cniminc. Do u happen to know if i could use it with a phone that is on a 24 month telstra plan if i just switch the sim cards

        • pyramid on 03/08/2015 - 16:01

          Do you mean you port out from telstra to Amaysim? If yes then it should work.

          Telstra post paid phones ar usually unlocked. If its locked, they will unlock it for free

          Cheers

    I just been to woolies. This did not work for me. I did a 2$ SIM purchase and then added 5gb plan. No discount. Even added everyday rewards card but no luck.

    Starts wednesday

    Just to confirm this deal from the original topic begins on Wednesday at woolies. Is that right? Is it legit or is it a glitch?

  • harthagan on 03/08/2015 - 19:34

    The groupon deal asks for a code when u try to purchase it ?
