Cashrewards is offering $5 cashback on 30 day Catch Connect plans, all of which are currently reduced to $4.90.

Could be useful as a porting option if you took advantage of the recent amaysim deals.

Inclusions:

  • 40GB Data
  • Unlimited Standard National Talk & Text
  • 200 Standard International Mins to 32 Selected Countries
  • 30 Day Expiry
  • New Services Only
  • Catch Connect uses the Optus Network

SIM must be activated within 30 days of purchase. Recharges are $49.90 unless you cancel / disable auto-recharge.

To disable auto-recharge once the SIM has been activated:

Dashboard > Check It Out > What Would You Like To Do > Manage auto-recharge > untick Auto recharge > Update > Finished

To ensure you receive the cashback:

  • click Shop Now from this link and complete your purchase without leaving the Catch Connect website.

Cashrewards Special Terms:

Cashback is not payable when using coupon code/s not listed on Cashrewards.

Cashback is not payable for recharges on an existing service.

Cashback is paid only for a new service (Mobile Plans / Data Only Plans).

Note: While I have never found it to be an issue myself, there have been reports of slow port times with Catch Connect.

I believe Shopback is offering the same cashback rate on selected 30 day plans, though I have no personal experience with their service.

Referral Links

Referral: random (3757)

$10 for referee and $10 for referrer, after referee makes $20 purchase within 14 days.

    Even 40gb of data for $4.90 is amazing.

      My experience with Catch is that my data is used up muck quicker than I expected (compared to amaysim or kogan).

        There's always a catch!

    No more $1 kogan sims. Now I'm getting paid to burn sims.

    Thanks op

  • TheZohan on 25/01/2019 - 23:47

    How do you turn off Auto Recharge and/or remove your saved credit card details on Catch Connect? TIA.

    • demiurge on 25/01/2019 - 23:49

      You need to activate the plan first, cannot do it before sim arrives.

      • TheZohan on 25/01/2019 - 23:56

        Yeah, I used a deal a couple of weeks ago and can't for the life of me figure it out. Thought I'd ask the cheeky question here…

        • demiurge on 25/01/2019 - 23:58

          To be absolutely sure they can't charge you change your card to a debit card and leave like $1 on that account.

          • Skinnerr on 26/01/2019 - 08:51

            @demiurge: And get a dishonour fee?

            • demiurge on 26/01/2019 - 09:58

              @Skinnerr: It's not a direct debit arrangement. If someone charges your debit card without enough balance it will simply be declined the same way your credit card is over the limit.

          Go to my dashboard and find "what would you like to do" button. You can find "manage auto recharge" in there. Good luck :))

  • nignucial on 25/01/2019 - 23:52

    Can I use an existing email and still get the cashback?

    • jen9618 on 26/01/2019 - 08:02

      Think the system instantly recognises you as a current user.

    Only 10¢ profit, what happened to the high yield investments? TA where are you? :(

    Hehe awesome deal, thanks op :D!

      10ć for 40GB data aint too bad. How many adult movies can you stream/download for only 10ć?

  • xsacha on 26/01/2019 - 00:04

    Unrelated to the original offer but I saw this also on Cashrewards: https://www.cashrewards.com.au/coupons/35gb-data-for-35month…

    24 or 36 Month Mobile Broadband Plan with Tablet or Modem: 99%

    Anyone know what that means? We get 99% of a 24 month or 36 month plan with tablet or modem refunded?!?! Sounds too good to be true so didn't want to post as deal.

    • alvian on 26/01/2019 - 00:17

      Cashback value is based on the percentage of one month's payment for plans (excluding handset repayments), and the purchase price for Prepaid SIM cards.

      • xsacha on 26/01/2019 - 00:44

        Thanks! I missed that. For the vodafone prepaid, I assume the cashbacks are based on the full amounts as well, like this offer and Amaysim.

    • Binchicken22 on 26/01/2019 - 00:17

      In the offer terms "Cashback value is based on the percentage of one month's payment for plans (excluding handset repayments), and the purchase price for Prepaid SIM cards."

  • apokalypsez on 26/01/2019 - 01:24

    catch connect force people to recharge? i heard that can't disable auto-renew/auto-rechage and can't remove debit/credit card but to call them…Kogan-amysim-…ect among that i used never had any problem, remove card or disable auto-renew and port out after it expire…

    • Ms Bargainer on 26/01/2019 - 01:45

        thanks for clearing it up…have ago at catch connect next month, for some reason can't trust cashrewards.

        • ShouldIBuyIt on 26/01/2019 - 08:47

          Use Cashreward through desktop and U should be fine. Can't trust the app right now, had my last 2 transactions not tracked and tried to claim through the app yesterday, wouldn't let me upload my receipt in the app, or input the transaction date in the mobile website…

    • SnoozeAndLose on 26/01/2019 - 06:40

      I find OVO force people to have at least one credit card in their account.

      • andylch on 26/01/2019 - 15:59

        Use prepaid credit card.

      SIM must be activated within 30 days of purchase.

  • Homr on 26/01/2019 - 03:10

    How do I order more than 1 sim???

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 26/01/2019 - 08:41

      You'll get the cashback only for 1 service. Better wait for a different cashback offer if you missed on the recent $35/$40 cashback and belong/Vodafone sims

  • bargainbee on 26/01/2019 - 07:20

    Important Information
    You must activate within 30 days of purchase. Otherwise, you may not be able to activate your service or may not receive the advertised entitlements.
    Your plan will automatically recharge at expiry unless you opt out on your Catch Connect Dashboard.
    You must have less than 4 existing prepaid services to buy this product.

    The last line. Only existing customers. That's the catch!

    • bargainbee on 26/01/2019 - 08:46

      My eyes playing tricks on me. "less than 4 existing prepaid services". lol

  • Musiclover on 26/01/2019 - 07:37

    Still waiting for that $5 OVO cashrewards cashback 2 months after the purchase… Those kinds of deals are a bit risky. Good old kogan for $1 so much better.

    • headphonejack on 26/01/2019 - 08:59

      It’s perfectly normal for cashback to take 90 days, sometimes longer to be approved. Merchants need to allow for the cancellations / returns period to pass before they will pay the cashback provider.

      For reference, the estimated approval date for my OVO purchase on 14/11 is 17/02.

      If an issue does arise, make an enquiry and I’m sure they’ll sort it out for you. They’ve never let me down.

      • Musiclover on 26/01/2019 - 13:43

        Well, you still have not receieved the cashback for OVO same as me, so we can not be sure until it actually happens. And the fact is that OVO gave no references (order IDs) to cashrewards, provides us with a safe bet that a lot of people will have to forget about their $5 eventually.

  • ShouldIBuyIt on 26/01/2019 - 08:37

    Do we need to still have the service active when Cashreward/shopback issue the cash back or porting out before waves the credit? I'm recycling a couple of number between the different cashback offer and wondering if I should just get new numbers each time for safety?

    • headphonejack on 26/01/2019 - 09:00
      +4

      Not at all. The only requirement is to activate the SIM within 30 days of purchase. After it’s active, you can do what you like - port, cancel, etc.

      • ja912son on 26/01/2019 - 22:41

        Does that mean we can get multiple cashback for each sim purchased(when activating a new number, rather than porting)?

  • apokalypsez on 26/01/2019 - 12:28

    i'm totally new to cashrecward…i made the purchase and it doesn't show anything but in myclick history it said Sat, Jan 26, 2019 12:22 PM Catch Connect Sat, Jan 26, 2019 12:12 PM Catch Connect…

    in MyReward shows Cashrewards ….$5, not sure if that's the one or $5 that i got from signing up through refer a friend

    • Splashtash on 26/01/2019 - 16:31

      Thats normal. Click history will show first thing than it will track it and appear later and usually cashback takes 1-3 months dependent on the product/special terms.

      • Borg on 26/01/2019 - 19:29

        You should have received an email from Cashrewards indicting the your order was tracked. Plus if you look in your Cashback area you should see the $5 for this although wont be available as actual cash until 01/05/19

  • Lon Chaney on 26/01/2019 - 16:27

    SLOW PORT TIMES - are you kidding? I just got my 375GB sim, activated it and 10 minutes later my number was ported and phone and data ready to go. Never seen anything like it. BTW It was ported from Lebara just in case that makes a difference which I sure it does.

    • nignucial on 27/01/2019 - 13:51

      I started porting last Friday night from Catch Connect and it's still not done yet.
      Possibly an issue with Catch Connect or generally providers on Optus network?

      • Lon Chaney on 27/01/2019 - 14:01

        Large companies are typical labyrinths Optus, Telstra, etc. They have process upon processes upon processes. I would not blame Catch Connect. All I know is, i did it before I went to bed expecting nothing to happen at least until morning but it was all done and dusted before I made it to bed.

        • nignucial on 27/01/2019 - 14:07

          I read the comments before porting so I sort of expected it…
          Still, it's quite a long process compared with porting from Telstra to Catch Connect, which took like a few seconds literally.

  • willywolf on 26/01/2019 - 20:56

    It's a win-win for me. Free extra data for my dual sim mobile and $15 off ubereats…

      • Zazer on 27/01/2019 - 19:04

  • [Deactivated] on 27/01/2019 - 19:29

      As per description…….. within 30 days of purchase!

  • MFCAUS on 28/01/2019 - 22:22

    I just checked out and it said "Unfortunately the payment was unsuccessful. Please try again or contact your bank." But I saw it's pending under my bank account. So what does it mean? Will I get my sim card and cashrewards? Cheers

  • Ryk on 29/01/2019 - 14:35

    slow port is slow, 7hrs and counting.

  • DavidRu on 19/02/2019 - 17:01

    Wow, just got told by cashrewards that the sale was declined by catch connect for no apparent reason.

    Beware and check your cashrewards balances guys!!

    Btw, I used a fresh browser, with no ad blocker and immediately purchased after clicking out. This kind of shaping is just sad, shame on you catch connect.

  • garylovesbeer on 20/02/2019 - 13:08

    Can I tether/personal hotspot using this SIM?

    Thanks

    • Borg on 21/02/2019 - 00:16

      Yes assuming your device supports tethering.
