    Still havent received any tracking number for one ordered on the 24th. Hopefully it's because of the holiday season.

      I'd assume so and given Australia Post has only just resumed operations today, it'd be safe to assume so. Also from comments in other Boost posts, they don’t send postage tracking notifications and the SIM just turns up.

      • dm02 on 28/12/2022 - 21:40

        I get tracking notifications every time they're dispatched - and @levqchi, orders I placed over the weekend were dispatched today as well so it's par for the course

      Also didn't get tracking info, ordered in Nov. SIM just showed up a few weeks later. I'm in Perth.

    • Sblogz on 30/12/2022 - 14:56

      Strange. Ordered twice, both received in timely fashion.
      One was with tracking info, the other was without. Just check the mailbox and voila!

    Mine was sent untracked. Also, they won't provide tax invoice for the 12 months prepaid plan.

        Been having that error for a week. Boost and Telstra chats have been useless, boost call centre even more so

    • billy_bob on 29/12/2022 - 13:20

      Yes, seems to happen when you order more than 2-3 in a less than one week. Try using different email and credit card, and also try incognito window in your browser.

      • Koipanda on 29/12/2022 - 13:51

        Still doesn't work :(

        • billy_bob on 29/12/2022 - 13:53

          Maybe wait a couple of days then try again, that worked for me last time.

    • Shane034 on 29/12/2022 - 14:06

      Try a different email address. Previous members seem to encounter this problem when their email is already in the system.

      • Its4me on 29/12/2022 - 00:31

        Just a wild guess, but maybe the dealers choose not to take advantage of cashback offers. Presumably they can offset telco costs on the tax return anyway.

    Hope they fixed the ‘something went wrong’ error where money is still taken and no order confirmation email, no tracking and no SIM card delivered.

    It has been a real struggle trying to get a 15 dollar refund from them. Nearly a month and nothing.

    Has anyone else had the same issue ?

    • Koipanda on 28/12/2022 - 23:23

      Wait they take $15???

    • MiNaW on 29/12/2022 - 00:32

      Yes that happened to me. I got 2 extra charge and they wouldn't agree for refunds. I got all the sim card tho…
      Don't know what to do as I don't need that extra sim card especially they didn't get the cashback

    • Neoika on 29/12/2022 - 07:08

      I see your comments several times. It may be helpful to tell the card you used so that others can avoid it. In most cases, it doesn't charge on the card.

  • DogeConomy on 28/12/2022 - 23:05

    How long does it take for an expired SIM to disappear from my boost account/app?

  • Sex on 29/12/2022 - 01:38

    Will I be eligible for cashback if I activate within the 30 days but then port out afterwards?

  • yyhazy on 29/12/2022 - 05:43

    Got the "we are unable process your order" error and tried two more times with the same result. Sure hope I don't get charged 3 times….

    • macola51 on 29/12/2022 - 08:22
      +1

      If your order can't be processed, there can't be a charge made. The "unable to process" response is usually because you have too often used the one form of ID. I find these Boost Sim deals run smoothly by having 3 different email addresses, and 3 different forms of ID (licence, Medicare card, passport). Then it's a matter of jumbling email add/s and ID forms to purchase each offer when it's posted. 3 EML and 3 ID gives 9 possible combinations, which covers 9 deals.

      • yyhazy on 29/12/2022 - 08:34

        That can't be right - this is the first time I tried to buy sim from Boost. Also I don't think that the website asked for my ID details during checkout. Just name and date of birth, iirc. I hope you are right about being charged, although I've seen other users commenting that it happened to them.
        Thank you for the tips about using different IDs though. I'll see if I can get it to work.

        • Charlie Dont Surf on 29/12/2022 - 10:04

          You are right. You are not required to provide ID details when buying the SiM, just at activation.

          From memory, and it's a while ago since I encountered it, but I had some "browser issues" when buying from Boost. May I ask which Web browser you have been using?

          PS: My purchase tracked today in less than 5 minutes.

          • Koipanda on 29/12/2022 - 13:53

            @Charlie Dont Surf: I tried noth chrome and firefox and they don't work

            • Charlie Dont Surf on 29/12/2022 - 13:57

              @Koipanda: Firefox is my preferred browser, but I will always try Chrome if something doesn't work in FF. If it fails in Chrome, it's likely NOT browser-related.

              FWIW, I do all my cashbacking through Microsoft Edge these days.

      • dddd on 25/01/2023 - 20:14

        How many of these have you bought?

  • ozbargaincheapo on 29/12/2022 - 07:49

    Do we need to wait 30 days before we can port back into Boost?

  • DoctorArd on 29/12/2022 - 08:04

    I only recently changed from a plan to a one year prepaid. When that runs out next year is there any issue with switching on a monthly basis using deals like this, but keeping my same number?

  • Charlie Dont Surf on 29/12/2022 - 10:06

    • omblygombly on 29/12/2022 - 11:44

      Likewise. Only took 1 minute after buying for tracking to show.

  • jwl81124 on 29/12/2022 - 10:39

    • CVonC on 04/01/2023 - 15:29

    Support is useless. Still have not received my replacement sim.

  • ymmf on 29/12/2022 - 12:36

    Sorry I'm going to ask a dumb question - could people just "buy" the SIM card and not use it at all to just get the $3.88 profit?

    • sirspiff on 29/12/2022 - 13:35
      +1

      If you don't activate it, you don't get the cashback. You could activate and not use it though.

    • billy_bob on 29/12/2022 - 13:45

      Need to activate the sim within 30 days of purchase to get the Cashback. Once activated, you don't have to use it, but why not put it in a spare phone or tablet?

  • sintro on 29/12/2022 - 13:01

    How do you guys get around the problem when activating the SIM card when it says "Something went wrong…"?
    Something to do with activiting with a name with an existing account or something?

    • apple0604 on 29/12/2022 - 13:43

      Contact support via chat and they will activate it for you.

  • ElDiablo on 29/12/2022 - 13:51

    How long is this deal lasting?

    edit:
    5 days left??

  • amberflamber on 29/12/2022 - 15:04

    I just tried porting and I got a system error - went through to chat and they tell me there is a system wide issue with activations and ports on Boost at the moment. However, I just activated a new service under my husbands name and it went through fine…think it might be linked to how many times I have activated sims with boost under my drivers licence - who knows!

    Edit: I was able to activate all 4 services just fine using an incognito window - so I think customer service was mistaken…

  • Khalid Anwar on 29/12/2022 - 15:35

    Just wondering, if cash back will be tracking if I buy the sim for someone else using my cc and other details? (PS: I've already bought one for myself.)

    • Koipanda on 29/12/2022 - 17:37

      I think it should. If it doesn't, file a claim.

  • Royale with cheese on 30/12/2022 - 23:06

    Is it auto recharge like kogan or you can have no credit card on the file for end of month recharges? Also will it work in a telstra modem?

    • Yamato on 01/01/2023 - 13:15

      Ive had this issue for over a week, have literally tried every idea to get around it: different browsers, private/incognito mode, different computers and devices, different internet. Have chatted with boost and Telstra online chat, multiple phone calls to boost call centre who are useless - they all keep saying “it’s fine on our end”, “try the (above) solutions”, “get someone else to buy it (with their details) for you and activate the sim under your name”, till eventually one boost call centre rep just said buy a sim in store, call up and recharge/activate and they’ll refund the $3. (Obviously not what we want - cashback). I tried having a friend help buy but they had the same issue come up. Few days later I got a family member to buy and it worked, can’t figure out why this issue kept persisting.

      • sintro on 02/01/2023 - 10:40

        They now say it has to do with the cash rewards tracking link.

        The issue is with the link being used on the cash reward. You can actually try to place an order directly on our website and it will allow you to submit the order for the same deal. Our Technical Team will coordinate with Cash Reward to check the issue with them.

        Can someone from cashrewards help?

        • Yamato on 02/01/2023 - 14:04

          Strange, as one of the “solutions” I tried was to not go through Cashrewards and direct to boost website instead and I had the same error message. When I got a family member to help make the purchase it was via Cashrewards and it worked

          • sintro on 02/01/2023 - 23:43

            @Yamato: I tried entering other details like a different name but it still didn't work.

          They have fraud system in place that blocks after 2 or 3 purchases. You can try different email and it may work. Has nothing to do with CW link; they're making up excuses. Don't bother asking rep or CS refer to here

          • sintro on 03/01/2023 - 09:57

            @dingdong3000: Thanks for the info.
            Nothing seems to work, I guess the ordering platform is so stupid that it won't even process legit sales.

            Had issues with activation last time too, hopeless…

  • DarkOz on 01/01/2023 - 15:20

    Thanks OP. These are great for watching live sports while in transit. Also would allow me to downgrade to the $200 sim instead of the $300 sim since the extra data is not needed.

  • delemonte on 24/01/2023 - 16:58

    I ordered one of these. Still have not received the sim card in the mail. Contacted Boost for tracking and it says last scanned on Jan 4th in Victoria.I'm about to miss the cashback window because I can't activate in time because I still don't have the sim. Boost say to contact Australia Post.

    Anything I can do about missing the cashback?
