    Coupon expiry day? Minimum purchase?

      LiveChat said no minimum spend. Coupon expiration to be confirmed.

      A little misunderstanding. The voucher will be emailed to people who qualify (that is, if you purchase the correct plan and use the same email address with catch connect and catch)

        Oh, great. So the 60Gb is discounted to $89

        • pennypincher98 on 26/08/2022 - 22:15

          I'd be careful ordering from catchconnect.com.au when the deal is for catch.com.au. Previous deals have treated these as two separate entities.

          Edit: seems terms on catchconnect allow it this time, but this isn't a norm

    60GB for one year is $89, plus $44.50 credit and 3.5% cashback from Cashrewards.

    • Borg on 26/08/2022 - 17:03

      That's a very decent price indeed. Wish they included Int'l calls like Coles current special $99 plan or Boost.

        I use Skype to call overseas. Bought $50 giftcard at Woolworths for $25, after 3 years I still have more than $30 credit on my account.

        • Borg on 27/08/2022 - 00:37

          I call Int'l mobiles for a good 10+ hours per week. I doubt Skype would be cheaper and it requires Internet access rather than just using my normal mobile.
          Great idea though for casual calling.

    • Wetmeme on 26/08/2022 - 17:46

      are you sure? showing $120 on catch.com.au. Will they still give you coupon if you only pay $89? I doubt

  • Kdw26488 on 26/08/2022 - 16:00

      Buy a test sim on this network before going on a long term plan.

      I went on a 12 month sim with catch and have been regretting it since. This is mainly due to my area not being great for reception.

      +2

      Coupon voucher is sent out to all customers on 5th October. So effectively you only have 1.5 weeks to use it. Sneaky tactic by Catch. They are probably hoping some customers will forget to use or run out of time and it lapses. Suffice to say, I will be using mine immediately.

      • MountainManeuver on 27/08/2022 - 14:55

      • 1Kenobi on 26/08/2022 - 20:45

        Does that work for An Apple Watch?

        • itsme56 on 27/08/2022 - 13:30

          No, Apple Watch won’t take a primary eSIM only a daughter plan linked to a primary. On carriers that support it.

          • Russ on 28/08/2022 - 10:58

            @itsme56: Apple watch can have a separate esim with its own number, see this comment: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/11602483/redir

            However, this is really designed so parents can give their kids an apple watch as a way of staying connected. Watch must be in "family setup" mode, which means you need a trusted friend/relative with an iPhone to set it all up, and some features are disabled, e.g. apple wallet won't work on the watch.

  • leeroys_dad on 26/08/2022 - 17:31

    Currently with catch for mobile, would it work activating or do I need to port out?

    Good luck trying to read the CIS on your mobile, the idiots at CatchConnect have decided to provide it in .DOCX format. Because PDF is apparently too difficult for them.

    Hey CatchConnect, when you're selling a mobile phone plan, how about making it easy to read on a mobile phone.

    • MountainManeuver on 27/08/2022 - 15:01

      I see the "CIS - 30 Day Mobile Broadband Plans - 28 Aug 2018 - 05 Aug 2021" as DOCX format, the rest are PDFs. I see your point though! (On a desktop PC BTW)

  • Windows7forever on 26/08/2022 - 19:22

    Cheers. Purchased a small plan for $89 for the year as I was needing a new provider and got sick of sim slutting every month. Now I just need to find something to buy with the credit voucher. Shame you only get 1.5 weeks to use it by the time it is sent out (should be on 5th October).

    $89 for 60GB with $44.50 credit and $2.67* CR = $41.83* theoretically. Great price.

    Only thing with Catch is I swear they have worse reception than other Optus MVNOs.. when I switched from Catch -> Amaysim I was getting consistently better speeds and bars across Sydney.

    • wavesgreen on 27/08/2022 - 04:49

      I went from vodafone retail to catch and actually jumped in speed and reception. YMMV of course.

      • pennypincher98 on 27/08/2022 - 08:28

        But that's Vodafone to Optus lol.

          Nope and not happy that most of us have to follow up and chase it up with them.

          It's almost like they withhold on purpose and hope people forget to claim what they are entitled to.

          I called Catch Connect who told me I need to contact Catch.com instead because they are separate companies. I will ring Catch first thing tomorrow morning so I can get my $45 credit!

    • Windows7forever on 06/10/2022 - 10:09
      +1

      Nope. Ringing them is so painful. Both companies were pretty clueless about the promotion and lots of back and forth between both of them passing the buck. Finally, this dismissive person from CC said that it's Catch's responsibility to email the vouchers and she will follow up with them for me but it can take 2 business days before I even get a response. She couldn't even tell me the expiration date of the vouchers. I feel like just escalating to consumer affairs if I have to call again. It seems misleading and false advertising this promo.

      • richiekath on 06/10/2022 - 17:59

        same thing happened to me today. Wasted almost 2hrs of my time. If they don't resolve it soon, I'll definitely take it up with consumer affairs for misleading advertising and bad business practices

    • vbap on 10/10/2022 - 12:11

      You had to buy by Sept 6 and activate by Sept 30, so those 2 x $89 wouldn't count. Did you buy&activate another plan last month?

      • larndis on 10/10/2022 - 22:29

        I purchased them in September and received the vouchers on 7/10. I've contacted both catch.com.au and catch connect several times now and they both say they can't help me, it's the other guy's problem. Very frustrating! Definitely starting to regret the move…

          • larndis on 12/10/2022 - 16:34

            @Chimpus: @Chimpus did you also receive a voucher for the wrong amount? I've contacted both Catch Connect and catch.com.au several times now, both insist that they can't help me and won't budge! They don't offer any solutions or assistance at all, just 'not my problem'. Seriously regretting transferring to Catch Connect after many years with Amaysim, will be avoiding both companies from now on! Will be lodging a complaint with NSW Fair Trading and the telecommunications ombudsman (unless anyone has a better suggestion)

              @larndis: Sorry my case was a little different from yours as I didn't receive a voucher at all.

              I called catch.com.au today and they sent me an email after the call requesting further details for verification so I emailed back copies of my order confirmation and activation emails and a screenshot of the original offer from the catch connect website.

              Haven't heard anything back yet but next step will be to lodge a complaint as well

              • Chimpus on 15/10/2022 - 15:33

                @Chimpus: Follow up for anyone still following - I received this email today:

                Hi Chimpus,

                Thank you for your recent Catch connect sim purchase.

                We recently had a 50% Cashback offer for Catch Connect customers.

                Due to a technical glitch in generating the coupon, your code could not be sent to you.

                As such, we have applied a store credit of $44.50 to your Catch account which is available for you to use immediately. Your Store Credit is valid for 2 weeks and will expire on 29-10-2022.

                Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Catch as we are always here to assist.

                Thank you for your understanding.

                I've checked and the store credit has been correctly credited to my Catch.com.au account with expiry on 29-10-2022.

                I sent the email with all of my evidence on 12 OCT 22 so approximately 3 days to get it sorted not including the prior contact attempts via web chat/phone call to Catch Connect/Catch.com.au

  • dubcmj on 13/10/2022 - 21:48
