Ordered and Confirmed, Thanks Op! It seems like nothing is working as you try to complete the purchase e.g. no items in cart etc.. but just sit and wait and the screen will update all of a sudden, did this for each stage.
Thanks for this
Website is loading slower than a 90 year old grandmother at the pedestrian crossing
Edit: Order confirmed and placed. Let's see what happens lol
Took me 10 minutes to get my order through. Almost not worth it.
Catchconnect is doing pen testing as well reviewing traffic capacity. :)
Can't even enter the site
Almost 3k clicks in under 30mins, surprised they haven't taken the deal down yet (although the website is being hammered)
why they making a killing… these plans cost them $10
It's a public holiday so someone is going to get an unpleasant surprise tomorrow morning?
They get all our details as well and then cancel and carry on selling out account info and send lots of emails PLUS they get all our $30 and take weeks to refund.
That's why I use new email just for this
Thanks Op. fingers crossed.
more like catch not connect because this shit has been loading for the last 5 minutes
Catch Disconnect
Taking more than 5 mins to process the payment on the last screen. Still going…
Thanks OP, see what happens.
i have to register first right?
Bad Gateway.. boy this must be getting slaughtered
Slaughtered? You mean Ozbargined!
Have ordered it but the chances of them honouring it is very low
Bought 2 by accident. Meh, I’ll throw one in my spare phone to hotspot when nbn is down :)
(Edit: The cart just added another one when I refresh after the cart won’t load after 5mins)
Limit one per customer
We’ll see how this unfolds :)
Where do you live? You can sell one to me
Sorry, my partner claimed it for his ipad.
I can see Pending payment on Credit card transaction but Catch Connect page still hasn't come with payment processed page.
Are you guys able to see order placed page?
It says "$120" in Terms and Conditions:
Terms And Conditions
New customers only. All data allowance is applied upfront after $120 payment and activation. Ongoing recharges at $150. Limit one per customer. Offer may be withdrawn at any time.
Basket is "empty" with x1 pending item for check out when checking out
I suspect the empty screen goes away and you will be presented with usual pleasantries such as order address, order option and payment details
It was the same for me, may be because they removed check out from the site while they correct the price. Try now and it will allow you to place the order at $30. Mine has just gone through successful.
Ordered one!
But the annoying part would be to find it cancelled next morning and our data has been taken for whatever marketing etc. purposes!!
I'll get in early now and say to everyone. If they cancel and refund, there is to be no grumbling or threatening to call the Ombudsman or whinging here that they have to honour it and so on. It was a bit of fun giving it a go…………….but do feel sorry for accounts.
There is a small chance that they will honour it and if so, then fantastic.
Hey OP: Not sure I would have shared this on OZB as perhaps you might have got yours. BUT let's say 3000 people go for it…………….I can't see Catch Connect agreeing to all. Thanks for the fun though :-)
Well actually I can't see a bit more data going through their already built infrastructure would cost them too much so they might honour it (but might not too)
seems like error as original price is $150, and they're meant to discount $30, bringing it down to $120.
will see if they honour it
haha, it finally went through but I checked account page doenst show any plan, checked the email vola, it's here, took 10 mins and $31 charged, $1 verified card. Suncorp is slow enough not to have updated change in my card, should have paid with commbank for peace of mind
I paid with commbank, still took a while for transaction to completed..
Thanks for posting Op, the 120gb plan was taking too long to load so I bought the 60gb for $31.
Works out to be $2.58 per month, winning.
Welcome back!
Lolz 2 year ban?
Thanks. Ordered.
Can't check out. Once click check out now, the page will show no itwm in cart.
I can't even see the cart. More than 5 mints and it's still loading…
Site is very slow, but finally got there.
Your Order has been Confirmed.
Thanks OP.
Oh my - the site is getting hammered. Cmon…..let me check out.
Those who have already ordered, please leave the site… :) make some space bro.
Unlikely to happen. Paid $120 for this deal a few weeks ago. I don't see them honouring it. Would be cool if they did, though.
Can the register the new sim (bought with my name) with someone else's name? Thinking of pick a few up for family.
Yes
Ta
site's (profanity)
OP - please add below to beginning of this post
"DO NOT CALL CATCHCONNECT TO FOLLOW UP ON PLACED ORDER/S"
no point. some people are gonna do it anyway.. and saying it out there might just trigger more people to call
Good point…..let the systems just process them and mail SIMS out.
There's absolutely no way they won't notice this many people suddenly signing up within an hour
True. But more likely when another 3000 ppl calling to follow up.
Better to wait for 5g. Buying this plan will get you locked for a year and widespread adoption of 5g is a few months away
Locked? just leave….. no big deal.
How do you know that this plan won't just get grandfathered into having 5G access?
Who cares about 5G if 30 for 120GB Data and unlimited calls!
Price changed to $120. Funs over
So what the hell happened, why would they want to change $120 to $120? Did they intend to put it back up to $150 or deduct $30 from $120 meaning $90?
They intended to deduct $30 from $150.
$120 was the intended promo price. It was a mistake that someone entered $120 as a discount resulting in this $30 price.
But this was already discounted by $30 from $150 all along unless they only intended to extend the $120 deal?
My guess is someone is building the deal pages in the live site copied another deal page and forgot to fix the amount. I had a similar issue happen before, I called them and sked for it to be honoured, but that it looked to be a mistake on their part, and they said "thanks, we'll fix it shortly, but no we aren't honouring it"
fixed
It's back to $120 now!
My cart page is still loading though. Do I have any hope? :)
Username checks out.
Boo!
It's indeed a price error. If you check the home page of catch connect, the big banner with the big white letter on red background mentions "New Customer Only $120 for the first 365 days". I have also bought it but do not have a high expectation of getting this honoured. Finger Crossed.
Wonder how is their coverage in Regional VIC
probably go for Telstra as Optus reception is quite flaky for regional
Go with Boost.
It says $30 for me $120 when added to cart.
that 120 is under discount. final price is 30
edit: oh yes, looks like they fixed it.
can’t check out.
GG
Got an order through! But shit forgot cashback!
Best cancel it and the return via CR…………….go on :-)
I was gonna place another order with a CR click out but yeah it's over now ><
It’s 95c lol
And it hurts!
finally managed to order 1. that's a long wait. guys try your mobile network if broadband is not loading.
well, i hope i sell my info for a good bargain. otherwise, yes , nothing i can do.
Just managed to get an order in
Expected Date Of Delivery
February 4, 2021
Me too, finally
Expected Feb 3
Looks like they've fixed the error
Impressive on their part I think scrambling someone to fix this at 1am on a public holiday night
Who knows. Might be legit with a cap on $30 offer and auto revert back to $120.
Price error
Edit - At time of change approx 5000 clicks, can't see them forgoing 450 terabytes of data for free
changed to $120 now heh
party over, $120 now.
The waiting game started.
Manage to get one, going for the second and they fixed the price…..
FAR OUT!! just missed out!! god damn it!
Comes up $120
Got an order through at $30 - confirmation email and they've charged my credit card.
See what happens, haha!
:)
I am keen to charge $30 and send a confirmation email too. :) promise, you can request for a custom font size in that email.
5554 clicks meaning 5554 new customers if they'd honour the error 😄
10% probably managed to make an order with how bad the website was
If they really get 5000+ new customer, it's a good marketing. The cost for them to offer this service should be very low.
pretty sure ud have 30 days
