This popular deal is back!

Description sourced from: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/711318

3 month minimum is effectively $297 for 60k QFF points (plus a SIM card you may/may not use). You may be charged a 4th month, but $396 for 60k points is still good value.

60,000 bonus Qantas Points on the $99 Qantas Promo Plan will be awarded as a one-time transfer at end of month 3 from your service activation date.

Good way to get points without signing up for another credit card.

      Activity took place on 12-Oct-2022

      • Heybargain on 13/10/2022 - 17:42

        Looks like they’ve just come in
        And I’ve cancelled my Optus service!

        • GAMBOL on 13/10/2022 - 18:43

          that’s quick. I got mine points just now. May port out tomorrow

          • Heybargain on 13/10/2022 - 18:59

            @GAMBOL: I kept my original service and signed up for this one as a second.

        i paid my 4th month yesterday but no points lol. keeping an eye on my QFF balance and gonna close my account few days before billing.

          Same here - not entirely unexpected but pain they got the 4th months $99 off me. Waiting for the 60,000 points to drop now

  • Mr RS on 13/10/2022 - 17:43

    Got mine,
    Thanks pals. And thanks Optus for the hack

  • HyperZ on 13/10/2022 - 19:02

    Got mine too

  • biasedbuffalo on 13/10/2022 - 19:04

    haven’t got mine - signed up on 15/7 so two days until renewal. When did everyone else sign up?

    • BoBo-the Angsty PhD on 14/10/2022 - 14:12

      Signed up, active, and billed on 17Jul (ie, without having a previous Optus service), three days until the next renewal (the 4th payment).

      Haven't got mine either.

      It seems to me that unless one was an existing Optus user upon signing up for this Qantas offer, there is no way to avoid the 4th bill.

      We will see.

      • BoBo-the Angsty PhD on 18/10/2022 - 16:07

        Got mine on the 18th of October although Qantas shows "Activity took place on 15-Oct-2022".

        Theoretically speaking, I should be able to discontinue before my fourth bill on the 17th of October.

        I hope my experience could help some OZBargainers.

  • bayleyb on 13/10/2022 - 19:15

    Did anyone get their points without having a previous Optus service (late billing date) and avoid paying the 4th bill?

    • Banana on 17/10/2022 - 15:58

      I didn’t have an Optus service, took out a new number. Only paid 3 months so far and I have received my points.

  • browncamry on 13/10/2022 - 19:41

    I’m onto my 4th cycle but just got my points.

    Trying to cancel on live chat. Requires patience.

    • Bodogbodog on 14/10/2022 - 07:13

      Any tips on how to achieve it via Live Chat?
      Hey how hard can it be? Wait - don’t answer that - it’s Floptus!

        I was able to cancel mine pretty painless process
        Jumped on chat typed cancel service
        An agent joined, said ok you want to cancel, checked cancellation date and then submitted the request.

  • matt-e on 14/10/2022 - 10:52

    Tried to comment on the original thread for this but it's locked. The 60,000 points just dropped into my Qantas account today, 2 days before the 4th billing cycle. On live chat with Optus now to cancel my service.

  • Ardy23 on 17/10/2022 - 07:53

    Into my 4th cycle and paid my 3rd bill a few days ago, still no points.

    How long has everyone else waited?

    I called Optus and they said give it 7 more days, not sure if they really knew though.

    • MummaJ on 17/10/2022 - 17:28

      They told me sorry can’t help go to qantas and qantas says go to Optus.

    • HunterxHunter9000 on 20/11/2022 - 01:05

      how did it go?

  • Banana on 17/10/2022 - 15:55

    Activated 14/7, pay cycle 29/7 onwards, points credited 13/10, will be cancelling soon.

  • ironik on 18/10/2022 - 19:11

    Activate 16/07, points credited late this afternoon 18/10.
    My fourth bill not until 28/10 - waiting in the queue with Optus to cancel.
    Just realised Cashrewards is pending overdue so will follow that up too I guess.

    • blueyez on 19/10/2022 - 23:16

      Got my cashrewards already but not the points =( activated around the same time as you

  • Bodogbodog on 19/10/2022 - 07:22

    We had three services (different Qantas members so points would credit) - all points credited now and all three services cancelled via web chat. We only paid 3 months charges for 2 services but unfortunately one billed 4 months (went past billing date by 2 days over a weekend). Bit disappointed but simply can’t be bothered trying to get that one month credited back via web chat - life’s too short to try to explain that to an agent in a back and forth conversation. Next challenge is to wait for points to credit from a further 3 services ordered when the offer was repeated in Sept. The things we do for 360,000 points

  • zoomjc on 19/10/2022 - 07:59

    Anyone not received their points yet? I signed up on 16/7/22, been charged 4 times now and no points yet. Also, are your monthly payments supposed to generate points with Qantas as well?

    • Bodogbodog on 19/10/2022 - 15:16

      I signed up on 16 July as well and got billed 4 times and received the points yesterday - a pain but good to get the points and I cancelled via chat yesterday - so a little more expensive than I'd like but still good value. Interestingly we had 2 other services that we got the points after only 3 payments and cancelled yesterday as well - so it's very consistently inconsistent :-)

    • ironik on 19/10/2022 - 21:02

      On the Qantas promo there was no additional points for the monthly payments.

    • HunterxHunter9000 on 20/11/2022 - 01:08

      did you get it?

  • blueyez on 19/10/2022 - 23:13

    Does anyone know who to chase for the points? Optus referring me to Qantas…

    2 days until 4th month is charged, despite signing up on 15th of July, was hoping to avoid the next charge

    • ironik on 20/10/2022 - 00:03

      I think it would be Qantas.
      And I feel like their answer would be what it says within the offer terms - points may be awarded up to 7 days from date of eligibility.
      The date of eligibility is the date you activate the service, not the date you sign up.
      Of course it can't hurt to try to avoid 4th payment.

      • blueyez on 20/10/2022 - 20:18

        Just got this response from Optus, sadly will be charged for the next month as it will go through tomorrow =(

        'and since it has been more than 3 months after the purchase of your plan, so what I will do is email a dedicated team regarding this and you will get further information on what happened via email with in 3 days'

    • defiant on 22/10/2022 - 14:24

      Qantas; I called them and lodged a case 7 days ago; I then received an email that day to confirm the case number. The points just hit my account today

  • Shad on 21/10/2022 - 21:42

    I rec'd points the day 4th bill raised 😑

    • blueyez on 22/11/2022 - 18:06

      Same as me, but I didn't pay it and only today did I get the bill for account closure. They credited the $99, which means I only paid for 3 months, so very happy!

      • Shad on 22/11/2022 - 19:31

        When did you cancel the service?

        • blueyez on 22/11/2022 - 21:03

          21st October which was the same as my billing date. Just got my final bill the other day which is $0 as I didn't want to pay the 4th month and they have credited $99 to make it 0. I didn't use anything in the 4th month.

  • zoomjc on 28/10/2022 - 08:45

    Activated 16/7/22, still no points after emailing Qantas and calling their call centre twice. Had paid 4th bill 2 weeks ago. They are now telling me I have to wait until the end of the calendar month! Ridiculous.

  • JCrown9 on 10/11/2022 - 20:21

    Anyone who signed up to the 2nd promo received their points yet?

    some qantas groups on facebook received straight after 3rd payment came out.

    just seeing if anyone here has got theirs yet. (I have not).

    cheres

    • TheRoYouKnow on 14/11/2022 - 10:22

      Waiting on mine. 3rd payment came out on the 10th for me.

  • zoomjc on 15/11/2022 - 22:11

    5th payment due tomorrow, still no points. Signed up 16/7/22. Optus and Qantas pointing the finger at each other. I think I'm going to have to end up asking for a refund of some sort for a misleading promotion.

    • TheRoYouKnow on 17/11/2022 - 10:22

      Update us on how you go.

      • zoomjc on 19/11/2022 - 14:40

        After many many hours of multiple phone calls to both Optus and Qantas, finally got my points late last week. Managed to get Qantas to refund me the 5th charge by pleading with them on the Optus chat line. It was much more painful than it should have been.

        • HunterxHunter9000 on 20/11/2022 - 01:10

          Always mention the ombudsman and it should do the trick.

  • vitagen on 17/11/2022 - 20:23

    My points haven't arrived, was activated mid July.

    I'm having the same issue Qantas vs Optus. The problem lies with Optus as they have not provided the information to Qantas on eligibility. I've had enough and on my 5th month of charge now, I've arranged a chargeback, will provide all my chat logs with Optus on trying to get this resolved and my emails from Qantas, together with the T&Cs of the signup hope i'm due something.

    I'm going to raise a TIO complaint too, nothing will happen, but at least it will annoy them.

    • blueyez on 22/11/2022 - 18:08

      When I escalated my points issue I did it via the live chat. Took a few times to find someone with a brain that could help.

  • HunterxHunter9000 on 20/11/2022 - 00:59

    anyone got points yet? Just got charged 3rd bill 19/11 and 12 days to go for end of 3 month data. lets see how this goes.

  • purpleturtle on 28/11/2022 - 12:31

    Activated 2/9, first bill 2/9 and paid, 2/10 paid, 2/11 paid I was a bit late due to expired CC, next bill coming 2/12…waiting for the points hopefully before that!

    • purpleturtle on 03/12/2022 - 11:44

      2/12 4th bill paid, nothing yet

      • purpleturtle on 04/12/2022 - 09:27

        4/12 points received! So had to pay 4th bill..

  • Looking4Bargians on 29/11/2022 - 10:53

    Has anyone received the points after signing up in the End of Aug or the first week of Sep? I have not, and Optus said the promo was only for signing up in July 2022

    Edit- Got the confirmation from Optus Chat - " We were able to confirm now promo on $99 Qantas Promo Plan Valid 1 Sep 2022 to 5 Sep 2022

    Qantas Frequent Flyer members who sign up to the $99 Qantas Promo Plan between 1 September to 5 September 2022, will be awarded 60,000 bonus Qantas Points, in a one-time allotment by end of month 3.

    Set your worries aside now as you are eligible to receive your points when you stay connected for 3 months from your service activation date. Points may take up to 7 days to appear in your account."

  • ujwols on 04/12/2022 - 10:23

    Signed up 2nd Sep
    1st Bill 1st October ( Had another existing plan, so both bills were combined)

    3rd Bill 2nd December , Paid immediately
    Point Received 4th December

    So had to pay only 3 bills

  • Bodogbodog on 05/12/2022 - 06:07

    The points seem to be dropping now - two of our accounts received the 60,000 points in the last 24 hours - all before the 4th payment is due so we can cancel now and save making that - better than the first round when I had to pay one of the accounts for the 4th payment
    Needless to say I’ll be cancelling all our Optus accounts today

  • JCrown9 on 06/12/2022 - 10:25

    Paid the 4th month yesterday. No points yet. will give it another day or so. hopefully drops to save the hassles of complaining and time wasteing.

    will update the outcome for others to reference.

          What Abt bill paid on 05/12? That is 4th Bill. Points arriving after 2 days of 4th for some of us, including my partner

          • ozbnb on 07/12/2022 - 14:34

            @Shad: Interesting I activated on 1/9 but my first bill was on 29/9 for period 29/9-28/10.

            Seems confusing who paid the period 1/9-29/9 for me?

            Update: checked again I think I paid 99$ on the day porting in.

          I chatted with Optus support they claimed my “end of 3rd” month is end of Dec. which I think is bullshit. They also said I can change plan now and the points will come as minimum 90 days has passed. But I decided to wait, even though I have to pay $5/d just to be able to receive calls overseas.

          I think I’ll unlikely come back to Optus again after this. Their support is unprofessional.

    • ozbnb on 09/12/2022 - 23:13

      Update: I got my points dropped today.

      Going to move to Telstra jbhifi for 1200$

  • adrianhughes1998 on 08/12/2022 - 18:46

    My points dropped in today, after my payment date was yesterday.

    For those struggling, go online to Optus chat and check that your QFF number and name format are in the correct format.

    The points should then be credited to your Qantas account within 48 hours.

    • UrMumsOnlyFan on 08/12/2022 - 22:04

      Likewise, points appeared a day after the 4th payment.

  • Nusername on 08/12/2022 - 21:33

    4th payment 2 days ago, got points today.

    Optus helpline and their stores have been absolutely useless. QFF was able to provide me more help than Optus.

  • Frozensage on 09/12/2022 - 11:39

    So I called up just to cancel right now. And optus is making a real big deal out of it. First guy said I will be paying some early termination fee, but doesn't say how much and doesn't know what to say when I told him it's month to month… cbf arguing just hung up and call again. Second guy said they will give me 1 month free with $99 credit. Said I would be charged and then I would get a credit applied…. I have accepted it for now but seems real dodgy. Might call up and cancel anyway, just can't trust these guys.

    • Looking4Bargians on 12/12/2022 - 10:42

      Couldn't you port out to another provider? I am sure you don't have to call to cancel the plan, or do we?

    • shift6 on 12/12/2022 - 11:21

      Had the opposite experience when dealing with Optus via Livechat (web browser). Absolutely painless and can generate a PDF transcript of the request for traceability.

  • Looking4Bargians on 13/12/2022 - 08:17

    Finally, I received mine today after contacting customer care a couple of times. Now its time to cancel the plan or port-out.

  • MetalDetectionExpert on 15/12/2022 - 14:58

    Points dropped for me 2 days ago, and currently trying to cancel via Livechat. I think it was mentioned earlier - patience required with this one!!
