    ‘The cashback offers are only valid for purchases of $30’?

      "purchases of $30, $40, $200, and $300 SIMS."

      The $40 SIM is on sale for $15.

    • nicholasv on 29/05/2023 - 08:38

      $30, $40… sims*. You would be buying a $40 sim which is on sale for $15 at the moment. I would assume it works but can anyone confirm?

      • tharlow on 29/05/2023 - 08:57

        I can confirm that I assume it works

      • T-man on 29/05/2023 - 09:34

        Have you tried? Even you redeemed more than 5 last time?

      • Turd on 29/05/2023 - 09:38

        They don't know what you buy, only know that you paid $15

      • GnarlyKnuckles on 29/05/2023 - 10:34

        Based on the ambiguous wording it would be safest to assume that this will not work. The thingy specifically alludes to purchases of '$30, $40, $200, and $300 SIMS'. I get the fact that you are technically buying what the seller is calling a '$40 SIM', but regardless, a purchase of $15 is unlikely to qualify given that wording and the inherent nature of 'cash back' operations.

        Over the years I've been burned a few times chasing freebies or 'profits' on OzB (lost both money and time), which defeats the whole purpose. At some point a few years back I resolved to only partake in such shenanigans if the T&Cs were unambiguous or there were multiple reports that the 'deal' actually worked/was being honoured.

          Nah, you're wrong; works with CR every time. "$40 sim" is the name of the product, not the paid amount. The "$40" is nominal.

          • GnarlyKnuckles on 30/05/2023 - 09:49

            @wisdomtooth: I realise it works with CashRewards, and I do avail myself of those BOOST deals sometimes because it they are well known to work. I am suggesting that it would be wise not to automatically assume that it will work with this ZIP mob, and spend up big in anticipation of profit; particularly if you don't actually really need the product. It would be wiser to just wait for the next trusty CW 'profit' BOOST deal.

  • NeoX on 29/05/2023 - 08:37

    In saying that, I've bought but reward is still not shown yet.

      Are you in the $1000 club?

  • mynameisborat on 29/05/2023 - 08:44

    Zip rewardss is absolutely lame. They don't allow to withdraw that amount until that cumulative amount is reached. Would rather use SB or CR.

        I know

  • barseeker on 29/05/2023 - 09:00

    What if one buys the $30 SIM with promo code BOOST9 for $9 would they still get $19 cashback? Can some one try and report back?

  • Thrifty Dan on 29/05/2023 - 09:02

    So does it work or not?

    • tharlow on 29/05/2023 - 09:07

    is it menat to show up instantly in cashback balance? first time doing it just now but have nothing showing. $15 ($40) sim

    • tharlow on 29/05/2023 - 09:14

      Yes — totally menat

    • wisdomtooth on 29/05/2023 - 09:48

      It hasn't shown up on mine either, but my activity says the purchase is still "pending," so maybe once it's confirmed, the cashback is credited?

  • barseeker on 29/05/2023 - 09:14

    So if it doesnt work on the discounted $30 sim purchase for $9 does it work instantly for the 55gb sim?

  • PissLUR on 29/05/2023 - 09:15

    Seems like the 5x redeemable is for the lifetime. Damn

      Ya they fixed it, after the post of the explot on OZB, if it wasnt posted or kept on the low, then they wouldnt have known.

  • barseeker on 29/05/2023 - 09:35

    Brought the $40 sim pack still no cashback. Has anyone received their cash back yet? It used to be instant

    • T-man on 29/05/2023 - 09:37

      They now probably have to approve the cashback manually for Boost transactions.

    • wisdomtooth on 29/05/2023 - 09:48

        Pending means they haven't taken then money out yet. Like a purchase auth on a cc

        • wisdomtooth on 31/05/2023 - 17:25

          Today, 3 days later, they did. No sign of cashback yet. Hold on to your neg; I'll let you when you can revoke it 😉

      • jimojr on 29/05/2023 - 09:57

        You won't get the caskback if you have purchased more than 5 already.

  • me1stt on 29/05/2023 - 09:37

    Tried the discounted $40 sim last Saturday. Didn’t get cashback.

    • wisdomtooth on 29/05/2023 - 09:49

      Is the purchase confirmed in your Activity tab?

      • me1stt on 29/05/2023 - 09:53

        Zip’s cashback is always instant. I guess they still set the minimum spending at $30.

        Maybe you can wait. I just cancelled my order.

          Cancelled order how??

          As far as i know boost customer service is bunch of liars who never cancel while making false statements that they cancelled order, then promise customer refund on sending them sim back, then NEVER REFUNDED ONCE TAKING THEIR SIM BACK

          Happened twice so far

          • me1stt on 29/05/2023 - 13:14

            @USER DC: Just received an email confirmation about the refund from Telstra. I’ll see if I receive the refund in 48 hours.

        • wisdomtooth on 29/05/2023 - 10:14

          I guess they still set the minimum spending at $30.

          Is that in the T&C? If not, I'm sure OFT would loooove to kick them around a bit 😃

                  @NeoX: Yea they wont, they can pretend to say that they cancelled order but they never will,

                  They will even go as far as saying they never said you that order cancellation was confirmed ( i got screenshot of that Darnel person saying me that) but boost agents deny that i ever chatted with that agent (even with screenshot proof, of him saying "order cancellation has now been confirmed this afternoon", and even told the time, date i chatted with him too). Yet they somehow shipped the same that same night, after a fake cancellation.

                  Anyway moral of this is don't buy boost sim if you are not willing to take risk of cashback failure or are at least willing to do a credit card charge back for it (after returning sim and waiting 1 month for them to not refund after returning sim with proof).
                  Zip is not so good with charge back IMO, I'd go with revolut for these sims for payment where possible.

                  And talking to zip cs about cashback is probably a better chance of getting something out of it then talking to lying boost reps

                      @Tiggrrrrr: Cannot save chat transcript on their website best we can do it collect 20 + screenshots of tiny chat windows.

                      • Tiggrrrrr on 29/05/2023 - 13:02

                        @USER DC: Select all.
                        CTRL-C
                        CTRL-V into word (or similar)

                        Then you have a date and time-stamp
                        Since they record their chat transcript, you can then refer them to the datem, time and person that you spoke to. Along with the exact wording used.

  • noelhoi on 29/05/2023 - 11:25

    When I load my app the CB is only $10?

  • Etherkai on 29/05/2023 - 11:26

    So I bought 5 in a single transaction but it only tracked $19. I called Zip support and the person who answered said it should be fine once the pending transaction is verified, and that I can give them another call if it still doesn't track properly by then.

  • Feeblely on 29/05/2023 - 11:43

    It needs to be $30 minimum spend, that will trigger the instant cashback. You can try it if you want. You could also try to argue with them if it doesn't give cashback as wording says $30 SIM, but good luck doing that for multiple purchases

    I'm only seeing $10 too. What is the $1000 club?

  • brongz on 29/05/2023 - 12:33

    Through Zippay app, click shop. Search boost. It’s only $10 cashback. Not $19.

  • USER DC on 29/05/2023 - 12:44

    BTW for those who dont know zip reward redemption also lowers your minimum payment limit (aka it reduces the amount your need to pay for getting $0 monthly fee),

    So e.g. if you had pending balance of $800 due at end of month for $0 monthly fee,

    And you reedem $100 in rewards you only need to pay $700 at end of month (not $800). Workout a lot useful especially when you have had been using it for a while aka e.g. you limit of 1500, and you got 200$ available only and same scenario $800 due for $0 payment.

    You effectively get an extended $0 monthly period for paying less.

    This has definitely been ozbargained. Lol

    Firstly, this offer was embedded inside a Boost cashrewards offer.
    It went underneath the radar for a few days. Then it was posted as a deal and the s**t hit the fan. Lol

    Got 7 orders in before it was posted as a deal for 28 dollars profit. But the best thing about this is the no 30 day activation limit.

  • ilovefullprice on 29/05/2023 - 16:36

    It now says cashback is $10 rather than $19

  • barseeker on 29/05/2023 - 18:40

    Well if you use boost9 code you can still get the $30 sim pack making a $1 profit assuming zip pay up?

    • Turd on 29/05/2023 - 20:56

      You won't get cash back for it as total is not greater than $30

  • wisdomtooth on 30/05/2023 - 01:43

    Expired?? Damn! I was holding back waiting for my 1st purchase to be confirmed and tracked, before unleashing the trigger finger.

  • USER DC on 31/05/2023 - 16:02
