Just noticed a small increased in the cashback for the 30Days/40Gb plan. After cashback it comes to $1.40 for 40Gb data for 1 month. Cashrewards is valid for "purchase of new service", but Shopback states "Must be a new Catch Connect customer to receive cashback".

*Edit: I have just received multiple cashbacks from Shopback using email accounts that I have previously used to buy Catch Connect plans (ie. Not a new Catch Connect customer, but activated new numbers, so "purchase a new service")

Cashrewards
Shopback

Happy New Year! :-)!

UPDATE: Ported out from Kogan to Catch on Monday 9am (25 May 2020) successfully in about 10 mins. Catch will send a code to your number for verification, once verified, fill in your birthdate and address (Catch DID NOT ask your name for porting in!)

    ah sweet, time to swap to catch now <3

  • ENSLAVER on 26/01/2020 - 12:56

    I tried one month on a new sim from Catch and got 3 scam (fake NAB/Comm Bank/etc) SMS texts almost instantly, never got them on my old numbers.

      Been with them on & off for years, never had this happen.

      you prob got someone elses old number that had expired and they signed up to all that shit. it happens XD unless u ported ur number?

    • INFIDEL on 26/01/2020 - 13:12

      New number = old number for someone else. Happens with all providers.

      Got a SMS on new Telstra number saying I had to pay a traffic fine or else. Contacted Govt Dept & was told this regularly happens.

      In SIM hopping monthly to new numbers for years - it only happened once.

    • Cheeper on 29/01/2020 - 19:29

      Can happen with any reissued number from any telco.

      Good spot! The old plan ID is 432 and ended on 9th Jan. ID was changed to 831 on 10th Jan.

    • FatTofu on 27/01/2020 - 00:07

      Whooops! Didn't notice and bought already

  • UrMumsOnlyFan on 26/01/2020 - 23:01

    My last two CR for Catch Connect are overdue. Looks like SB this time.

    • FatTofu on 27/01/2020 - 00:08

      Mine (SB) from 15th Dec 2019 still pending. Guess it's normal?

      • UrMumsOnlyFan on 27/01/2020 - 00:37

        Guess held up at Catch Connect's end in that case.

      • INFIDEL on 27/01/2020 - 00:40

        CR is up to 70d, SB up to 75d to process.

  • El cheepo on 27/01/2020 - 02:23

    I found the network extremely limited. Far worse than kogan/ voda… And that's pretty bad (vastly improved though in the last 6 months). Example, no reception 5km from Adelaide CBD, flat ground (ie, not in a valley or obscure hill).

    • Blue Cat on 27/01/2020 - 17:00

      I disagree.
      Kogan is horrible to use in Sydney and it's suburbs.
      It stays on 4G but the connection is real slow.
      Meanwhile catch is always fast and zippy and can watch YouTube non stop without interruptions.
      I keep jumping between kogan/catch 3 month plans and I dread when kogan's turn comes.

      • tunzafun001 on 27/01/2020 - 23:05

        Yeah, Kogan used to be horrible for me as well, but this month it was heaps better. So maybe something changed?

      • bob19 on 30/01/2020 - 18:01

        Kogan works much better for me than Catch in Sydney.

        • [Deactivated] on 08/02/2020 - 07:38

          i noticed that 1 year ago but so many optus fanboys disagreed.

  • WaywardOne on 27/01/2020 - 11:30

    So if i previously used them, but ported out 12 months ago, can i use Shopback? Or does it have to be Cashrewards?

    • Neoika on 27/01/2020 - 12:01

      1st service in an account. The account having a service before is fine.

      2nd service in an account does not get cashback.

      • TomGum on 27/01/2020 - 23:14

        I’ve had like 3 active at a time and received cash back for all of them.

    We use catch connect for few months already without much trouble, speed is alright and very enough for streaming.

  • Wally on 28/01/2020 - 01:33

    Has anyone been able to activate their Sim after the 30 days from purchase?regardless of the T&C "You must activate within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised in the promotion (whichever is earlier)"

    • INFIDEL on 28/01/2020 - 22:58

      Might work, but doubt you would receive cashback.

  • nadstar on 29/01/2020 - 23:28

    going to try this

  • scuderiarmani on 02/02/2020 - 09:21

    Needed to purchase 3 to port out and port back in 3 different numbers. Would cashback be able to be applied to all 3?

    • Its4me on 03/02/2020 - 02:59

      Probably.

      I always try to use new email addresses for each catchconnect number, just in case, but the same CR/SB account.

  • ozhunter68 on 09/02/2020 - 12:19

    Now $4.90 Cashback.

  • slowFTL on 12/02/2020 - 10:49

    Although Shopback terms stated "Must be a new Catch Connect customer to receive cashback", I have just received several cashbacks from Shopback using email accounts that have expired Catch Connect plans (so, I was NOT a new Catch Connect customer), however, they were all activated with new numbers(service) as I only use them for data :-).

    • Arthur Dunger on 12/02/2020 - 10:59
      +1

      I just went with Cashrewards as their terms state,

      Cashback is only eligible on the initial purchase of a new service.

      So I did the same as you and used an existing account that still had old (out of credit) numbers showing.

      • slowFTL on 12/02/2020 - 11:50
        +1

        Yeah, I was reasonably sure that I will get cashback from Cashrewards, it was the terms of Shopback that was uncertain. In my case, just like you, existing out of credit accounts was still accepted for cashback from Shopback :-).

        • Arthur Dunger on 12/02/2020 - 14:15

          I got the free one as well, so $1.40 for 2 months unlimited calls/sms 80GB is pretty awesome.

        • Parrot on 24/06/2020 - 19:32

          I've got a few sims I ordered from around this period of time. They are all showing overdue in the cashrewards portal for the cashback.

          Strange, this is the first time. I wonder if it's got something to do with the recent plan changes too.

  • Jaxx on 14/02/2020 - 22:23

    Will this data rollover to the next month if I recharge the minimum plan?

  • pitpicker on 18/02/2020 - 17:12

    can you buy another New service with old email with existing service?

  • djoz on 05/04/2020 - 11:14

    Does anyone know why Catch Connect doesnt require you to provide an ID during activation? All others, viz. Telstra, Boost, Optus, Amaysim, Kogan, Lebara always ask for ID proof.

    A Catch Connect SIM may be activated by just giving your debit card and nothing else. I dont think Debit Card is an identity proof. Or is it?

    • slowFTL on 25/05/2020 - 10:58

      Catch Connect does seem to be more lax with their ID verification process.

      • djoz on 26/05/2020 - 13:18
        +1

        Yes, even I observed the same. Some mention that since it's mandatory to provide a Payment Method (Card) in Catch Connect, it is verified, but is that true - as we may add any card, not necessarily my own card.

        • slowFTL on 26/05/2020 - 20:54

          Do you remember whether we have to submit driver's licence verification when we BUY the simcard? In porting out there is no requirement to check ID other than a code send to your phone to prove that you hold the number and your birthdate.

          • djoz on 27/05/2020 - 11:56

            @slowFTL: So if I port out of Catch Connect to other operators which require an ID, will it be done without the ID itself? I think in the porting activation procedure too, Amaysim, Telstra, Boost, etc. do ask for the ID.

            • slowFTL on 27/05/2020 - 17:15
              +1

              @djoz: Sorry! My typo above "In porting out there is no requirement to check ID" I meant to say when porting INTO Catch Connect there is no requirement to check ID other than a code send to your phone to prove that you hold the number and your birthdate. Yes, I'm quite sure that Amaysim, Telstra, Boost, Kogan, Optus, Vodafone etc will require matching of both Name and Birthdate. This could be why some have encounter problems porting OUT of Catch Connect.

  • pointschaser on 23/05/2020 - 18:41

    If you want to use this in a wifi modem, can you just buy a new sim card every month? or does kogan only allow one purchase per account and therefore you would have to create a new account every month?

    • slowFTL on 25/05/2020 - 11:02
      +1

      This is for Catch Connect. For each email account, you can have a max of 5 numbers and each number must be activated within 30 days of purchase.

  • angilinwago on 15/06/2020 - 14:17

    no longer available.

    Miss these deals from Catch Connect!
    Never thought they would be discontinued.

    I've used $4.90 40GB Catch Connect with $7 Cashback from Shopback in Oct'2019.
    And $0.99 40GB Kogan in Dec'2018.
