    I think this has been posted before. I signed up and didn't receive my $10. Neither did a few other members. Must have reached 20,000.

    • spackbace on 23/09/2016 - 19:23

      Ah shit ok. Funny that they changed it from 10,000 to 20,000 too

      • McSync on 23/09/2016 - 20:16

        I singed up with a few of my Amaysim number even and got $10 like instantly a few months ago. Haven't tried recently. But according to @onsale there seem to be still spots left.

    Thanks OP just signed up and got $10 Credit 1 minute later.

    • spackbace on 23/09/2016 - 19:36

      Oh cool thanks for the update :)

    Not just paywave, they give you a card number for online purchases so you don't have to order a special sim if you don't want.

    • djkelly69 on 23/09/2016 - 21:01

      Yep, used the virtual CC earlier this week to buy a Charles Tyrwhitt gift card to use towards the 3 for $99 deal (since they don't accept mixed payments).

    Went to order the NFC Payment Accessory sticker for my phone but it said all of them were out of stock. So ordered the Payment Band which was the other option.

    Refuses to work on rooted phone.

      LOL

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 24/09/2016 - 09:45

      By refuses do you mean your app loads normally but your in-built NFC refuses to make a payment? I don't have NFC or an accessory so I can't test the app. The hacks currently used for Android pay on rooted phones seem to be hit-and-miss and are eventually patched so it may not be worth testing them anyway e.g. turning of SuperSU etc).

      If you can load the app I suppose you could just use the virtual credit card to use up the $10 and move on with your life.

      • RedSky on 24/09/2016 - 13:33

        Gives a block message when you load the app, there may be a way to hide it.

        • peterpeterpumpkin on 24/09/2016 - 20:04

          Interesting. My ZTE Fit Smart is rooted (original ROM and bootloader) but no message appears upon loading.

        • RedSky on 25/09/2016 - 12:42

          Dunno maybe it doesn't like custom ROMs, I'm running rooted CM13 on an S4.

    • nickj on 25/09/2016 - 08:13

      I have 2 cyanogenmod devices, the app refused to work on load on both (gave some error message about not working on modded or rooted devices).

      That's pretty silly of Optus, because both of those devices are so old that they've long been abandoned by their manufacturers, and cyanogenmod is the only way to keep them current and patched. I.e. in terms of security, Optus have it entirely backwards, at least in this case.

    How can I use the $10 I just got?

    • spackbace on 23/09/2016 - 21:44

      The cheapest hookers and blow that you've ever seen :P

    • nickj on 25/09/2016 - 08:00

      Here's what I'm doing: Use as a $10 top up in the 7-eleven fuel app, then you can put that $10 towards petrol.

    Don't forget to close your account if you no longer plan to use it.

    An Inactive Card Fee, if you stop using Cash by OptusTM and don’t close it. After 12 continuous months of not using Cash by OptusTM, you’ll incur a $1.95 per month fee until your balance is reduced to zero, and then your Cash by OptusTM facility will be closed.

    Don't do it within the first 3 months though as you'll forfeit the $10.

    If the Cash by Optus™ facility is closed, or the Optus mobile service is cancelled within 3 months of registration of the Cash by Optus™ app, the full $10 gift will be forfeited at the time of facility closure.

    • spackbace on 23/09/2016 - 21:43

      But I guess if you use it within a week, no problems :)

  • hd2002 on 23/09/2016 - 21:59

    It seems that there is a fee called "inactive card fee" which is $1.95 per month. that means if you don't use this feature since you signed it up, you still will be charged $1.95 each month.

    • imnotarobot on 23/09/2016 - 22:05

      After being inactive for 12 months, yes.

      • LKJ899 on 28/10/2016 - 13:03

        Can i ask…if I'm on prepaid and there's only 10 cents left in my account, do I still need to close it?

        I didn't put any credit card details when I registered for this cash by optus. So they shouldn't be able to charge me anything after being inactive for 12 months?

    • RedSky on 23/09/2016 - 22:13

      I prefer to refer to it as the "take money out of your account until you notice or we take all of it fee."

  • sirrobin on 23/09/2016 - 22:31

    thanks OP. got $10 right away

  • haru on 23/09/2016 - 22:59

    Does this require an Optus SIM?

    • TheOneWhoKnocks on 24/09/2016 - 09:11

      Yes.

    • MaxD on 24/09/2016 - 14:13

      Worked for me with an Exetel sim on the Optus network

  • Meliorist on 23/09/2016 - 23:08

    beauty, go the 10 right away too

  • darkly on 23/09/2016 - 23:36

    Just worked for me

    • darkly on 25/09/2016 - 20:19

      Have done it 3 times now on 3 different numbers. Worked with Jeenee Mobile and TPG (old optus plan).

  • cathyzhang on 24/09/2016 - 00:56

    worked. thank you

    Is there anyway that you can configure this app to use the inbuilt NFC tag on my phone?

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 25/09/2016 - 22:50
      +1

      I believe Optus made it difficult by requiring their special SIM card?

      • HONDA4LIFE on 25/09/2016 - 22:52

        Yeah, not only that, but u need the chip or sticker

        • peterpeterpumpkin on 25/09/2016 - 22:55

          I thought it would mean the opposite if you used the CASH BY OPTUS™ SIM to exploit your in-built NFC:

          "Please note: if you choose the SIM option, you will not be able to also utilise the payment band or sticker"

        • HONDA4LIFE on 25/09/2016 - 22:58

          I have the CBO SIM and use the Payment Band, although I took the chip out of the band. The Band is junk. Yeah, its confusing!

  • samlor on 24/09/2016 - 09:20

    Still working, just got $10 within minutes of registering using the app.

  • TheOneWhoKnocks on 24/09/2016 - 09:24
    +1

    So I have a remaining 10 cents balance. Can i just leave it like that until my account gets closed?

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 24/09/2016 - 09:57

    Like Amaysim user above, I'm with Vaya and I received the $10 bonus after a minute (though I haven't used the money). I wonder if this is a bug and they'll hunt me down to get their $10 back if I spend it? You'd think they'd make you log-in to Optus? Can someone confirm if it works with non-Optus network SIMs?

    And we're not even asked to provide our licence number or other ID for verification? Or even confirm an SMS? Do they even validate addresses? What's to stop a criminal (aka OzBargainer) from creating 5000 accounts and spending the virtual credit cards? This seems less secure than Guzman and/or Gomez ever imagined.

      Doesn't work with TPG.

        TPG is with Vodafone network now.

        That could be why.

    • nickj on 25/09/2016 - 08:03

      I used mine for 3 month trial of apple music. It debits $1, i.e. balance becomes $9,but I'm pretty sure that it's just an authorization hold and the $1 will come back in a few days.

  • SydneySwan on 26/09/2016 - 22:18

    I used mine to keep my Optus pre-paid plan going for another few days.

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 27/09/2016 - 11:53

    The band was sent out with Startrack so there's no need to wait out a week for the "new" Australia Post.

  • King Tightarse on 21/12/2016 - 22:54

    Just tried this but no dice - guess they ended it early.
    One thing, they have rebranded it with a new app so that might make a difference
