    • Same here

      • I tried manually type the address and use family members ‘s name . It went through

    • Same. Tried different name, manual address still error

    • It might have just been getting slightly OzBargained, let me know if you're still having the same trouble.

      • Still having same trouble

        • Hmm, it seems sporadic as many users have redeemed already, so my guess is a potential server error. You might benefit from clearing your cache and then waiting a short while and trying again, this usually rectifies minor tech issues.

          • @gotyourback: Done all that, used diff devices, etc but still same issue…

          • +2

            @gotyourback: I've had this problem constantly with every one of the deals over the past 3 months, without being able to order.

            Different browsers, incognito mode, desktop/mobile/app, unique email address, writing the delivery address differently, different family member's details and credit cards, one-time-use debit card, wifi/mobile, different names and DOB.

            Every single time the error messages says that Boost has a problem and to try again later.

            • +2

              @Dacs: @nobbobb @Dacs @WordsToSayIt @cocomelon @cooni @Kuyaozb @divs @sunny007 @CoronavirusVaccine @AkuroPlays @tryonthis @Kathiepink

              Hey all, have heard back from Boost about this issue, they've said that this is likely their fraud system being triggered which can happen when using the same email address or name. If you're having issues here, best to reach out to the Boost team via their chat function on their website. Unfortunately I can't help further here, this is best handled by Boost on their end. Cheers for waiting on my reply!

              • +3

                @gotyourback: Right, in which they will help us buy directly through them instead of through SB.

                I've tried different (real person) names and email addresses.

                Lame. Thanks for trying but looks like the same dead end.

                • @cooni:

                  "Thank you so much. The way I see it we are encountering a system update that's why some online purchase are currently not available. We apologize for this matter and you can try to purchase again after 4 hrs."
                  We're sorry for the inconvenience. it is due to our ongoing system update.
                  We can only activate 4 sim per day.

                  was told these but not too sure any luck 4 hrs later…

              • @gotyourback: Been on chat for an hour, getting nowhere. They say "As per our team the reason why there was an error purchasing the sim through shop back website is because there was already an ongoing promotion in our website"

              • +1

                @gotyourback: I've bought around a dozen using all the same details every time, just as many others here have - with no fraud triggering. Conversely some first-time buyers get blocked with Boost yet get no "fraud triggering" on any other site or purchase. Something about Boost's system is BORKED and they REFUSE to fix it. (I believe it's faulty hardware and will continue happening forever until the server their system is hosted on is finally retired and the problem will magically disappear.)

                Are they at least providing refunds yet, when it doesn't work? Or is everyone just supposed to eat their bullshit and imitate a mushroom?

                • +1

                  @[Deactivated]: Hey mate, I've flagged this with the team at Boost Mobile to look into on their end, unfortunately that's about as much as I can do so hopefully this gets see to before their next promo. It is difficult for me to understand as it does look very sporadic, with many users able to redeem at their leisure, but other having significant trouble with no way to discern why, so hopefully Boost can investigate and resolve based on info they can see.

            • @Dacs: And now Boost's customer support says "I also raised this to my team and reason for the error is that the system is only allowing one promotion at a time. if the sim is on regular price, you can claimed the cashback promo that is available at Shop back"

              • +1

                @Dacs: lol which is a complete and absolute load of shit. The whole point is 2 promos.

                Yet we get told by @gotyourback to contact Boost support.

              • +1

                @Dacs: And THAT is why no Australian business should use overseas support. They are poorly trained, have no idea what they're doing outside their idiots sheets in front of them, so they make up excuses (LIES) on the spot to get you off the phone thinking that's all there is to "doing muh job."

    • Same. First time this has happened to me. Have bought over 20 times previously, all using the same name and email and via either the SB or CR Android app.

  • +2

    This is confusing

    Multiple SIM purchases need to be made as separate transactions

    And

    Cashback is qualified only for New Boost customers

    @gotyourback could you please confirm 3 sims under same name qualifies for $5 cashback and $15 cashback 3 transactions

    • i read as one SB account can make multiple purchase and get multiple $5,
      as long
      each sim are activated under new boost customers (meaning 3 different names because each need to be new customers)

      • Ok for those (all of us…?) who ordered multiple sims under your name only will now be in trouble if this is the case

        • I ordered just one for now to see if it even tracks.

          tbh shopback is a bit annoying, much quicker tracking with cashrewards and less (profanity)

          • @bohn: It tracked within few hours from my experience… CB confirmation is another story i guess…

        • +1

          hmmm so one SB account click to boost store, but then order using different names to be safe.
          or can you order with your name 3x times but then activate with your sister name, aunt and grandpa ?

          • @CyberMurning: I find it easier to match up name, email, address to a sim each. Always bundle it up for easier varification tracking etc. If you start mixing Person A to Person B email etc… just gets to complex for telstra to varify you? And you get confused too lol

            But does anyone know why im stuck with 3rd sim purchase :(

    • +5

      Checking on this now, I know users in the past have been able to purchase multiples so let me get clarity on exactly what those terms refer to on Boost's end.

      • Is there any update please ?

        • +1

          Not as yet, we've reached out to Boost to clarify so I'll update here ASAP.

          • @gotyourback: Following :)

          • @gotyourback: Looking forward to your response Mr GYB, I have to login to my boost account and activate new plans as boost rep told me. I can no longer activate any with just my ID as 'new customer'

          • +8

            @gotyourback: @dandealsau @knobbs @Kathiepink @bohn @easternculture @ChiMot @nobbobb @kungfupanda

            Cheers for waiting on my update! The team at Boost have come back to say that this term is incorrect and to remove it, the only relevant term is that the cards must be activated within 28 days of purchasing, so we are updating the terms on our site to remove the note about New Customers. Previous customers are fine to purchase, but note a thread above that shows that multiple purchases with the same details can cause trouble on their website. Cheers!

            • @gotyourback: Thanks OP @gotyourback

              Just bought 3 sims to stack with the bonus $15 cashback.

              All went smoothly with no server error.

              Used shopback app built-in browser to purchace

            • @gotyourback: Many Thanks for your follow up, happy now :)

            • @gotyourback: Does it need to be activated within 28 days or 30 days? I activated my sim card on day 29 today.

      • +1

        just FYI all 3 of my Boost purchases done in 3 seperate transactions under the same email AND Mobile tracked perfectly, and the 15 dollar challenge completed respectively (reward is pending), so Shopback is working as intended. Now just need to know if this is all good on Boosts side for cashback when i activate these Boost sims as a "new number" to satisfy the "new customer" requirement :)

        • +1

          Someone said
          Anyone activating on new number is a new member. Only used 1 id on all Boost purchases & activations. Received all cashback

          So I think good to go…

  • Mine did not even track, purchased about an hour ago.

    • +2

      They don't track that quickly.

  • -2

    Cheers! Will be online all day today to help out and get back to you all, so add anything I might have missed below.

    yeah? starting when? @gotyourback

    • +3

      About 8am when I was contacting Boost to get info on the sale price, and then ever since. I just have to be across the entirety of OzBargain helping folks, so bear with if I don't reply literally instantly.

  • +2

    Oh what a surprise,

    Sorry, something went wrong

    Again. As always. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    • Hmmm it seems that this is a sporadic issue, as lots of users have been able to redeem. It might be a server issue, so you might benefit from clearing your browser history and waiting a short while and trying again. Let me know if it continues to be a problem.

        • I have never had any issue buying boost sims. Never got any errors

          • +1
          • @Quarter Pounder: I'm sure there are plenty of people that haven't had any errors, but there are also plenty that have - and unless there's some purposeful restriction going on (which is well within their rights, though they should publish this), it's worth being investigated by either SB/CR and Boost.

        • +2

          Have reported this to Boost Mobile, I'll update if I hear back from them here.

          • +1

            @gotyourback: They do really need to look at this issue. What is the point of the all these if they don't even let people buy.

            • +1

              @Kuyaozb: Hey there mate, totally agree, this issue does look like it's sporadic as plenty of users have been able to redeem. I've reached out to Boost and will update ASAP.

              • -1

                @gotyourback: SORRY, SOMETHING WENT WRONG
                We’re sorry but we’re experiencing technical issues. Please try again later.

                GYB-Error msg for the boost team.

          • +1

            @gotyourback: Please do not get back to us with the same fraud triggers message as the rep did before.

            There's clearly something wrong with their detection systems if this many legitimate buyers can't purchase.

            • +1

              @cooni: Ok, I managed to get my third and final order, this time, used my other email and used my debit card instead. Could potentially fraud triggering.

              • +1

                @cloudie9: I tried the same but still same error message :(

        • Even if I try with a different computer. Different IP address. Different person's name, dob, phone number (real person). Different delivery address. Different credit card details…

          fraud detection systems could be very sophisticated if you've ever logged into another service on that different computer/ip address that could be used to track you, think of how google analytics is baked into significant portion of the web much like microsoft and facebook SSO then everything else tracking/storing our data sold to fraud detection organisations

          their fraud algorithms could be so sensitive it forms a massive network with everyone whose recently used that IP, device id's/user agents/etc, all their addresses, payment data then branches out against anyone who's gotten anywhere near 'x' person within 'x' time period whether sharing wifi, used their computer, phone with location services enabled, further complicated for those behind CGNAT sharing IP addresses where up to 1024 users could be sharing the same IP Address

          just a hunch, never done any research on this just aware how easy you can be tracked online so believably fraud detection

          whether this level of sensitivity provides actual benefit to their payment provider and/or boost is another story, i'd imagine complaints to their customer service cost more than a little extra fraud

  • Does this work if you do it via mobile without using the app? I jumped on this deal asap and didn't even bother trying to download the app first.

    • +1

      which is only $17 cashback on $17 spend, $0 profit

      • +1

        yeh but someone may prefer CR for quicker tracking as well as no mention of "New Boost Customer" only

      • I myself am waiting for the confirmation if activating multiple sims under same account will be eligible for cashback from SB.

    • Honestly don't think this is a deal with basically $10 profit per sim via shopback right now.

  • +1

    Tracked. Purchased 9.30ish.

    But still having trouble buying 3rd one..

    • mine hasnt tracked ordered at around saem time too

  • +2

    Tracked all 3. Qualified for $15 bonus🎉

  • +1

    Keep getting "sorry, something went wrong" error on payment page

    • +3

      Hey mate, this was flagged above. I've reached out to Boost, awaiting updates. It seems like it's a sporadic issue as it's not affecting all users, I'll let you know as soon as I know more.

      • +6

        I have the same issue. Always waste a lot of my time trying multiple email addresses and multiple credit cards.

        They should at least make it clear what is the error. Gives us at least something to follow up with.

        Boost is the fraud when they keep doing these non-obtainable deals. Intentionally or incompetence?

        Downvoting Boost Mobile, not Shopback/GYB

    • Ya same, hopefully gyb can get a response from them.

    • The error can be caused by a large variety of issues. It's only happened to me once and I was able to use a different CC and it worked.

      • I did try with 3 different cards but ended up with the same error

        • <shrug>

  • @gotyourback:

    could you confirm if the activation must be a new customer? is this new requirement starting from this deal?
    does it mean if I already have a prepaid service with Boost Mobile, I won’t be eligible for cashback?

    • +2

      Hey mate, I've reached out to Boost about this, there's a thread about this here. As far as I'm aware multiple purchases are fine, I'm just waiting on exact clarity from Boost as to exactly what constitutes a "New" customer.

      • Thanks @gotyourback - sorry I missed the above similar post.

        • +1

          It's all good, happy to point you in the right direction.

  • +1

    if im already with boost can i can get this with using new email (but same ID obviously) and activate new number?
    edit. ah same question as the kungfu man above

  • Has anyones tracked did 3 orders at 9:47 but no tracking

    • cancelled my orders tried again

  • Sorry, something went wrong

    • Same

      • The same issue tried on the app and website
        The same issue even when switching from a credit card to a debit card
        The same issue when auto or manual address

        • Was successful for me using MS Edge incognito on windows 10 - log in to shopback first and then navigate to boost mobile

          • @CodeXD: Same issue when using MS Edge incognito on windows 10 :(

            SORRY, SOMETHING WENT WRONG
            We’re sorry but we’re experiencing technical issues. Please try again later.

  • how long does it take for it to be tracked? mine still havent tracked from few hours ago

    • Mine tracked just within 10 minutes

      • its been an hour for me and it hasn't tracked

        • yea same

          • @fiz2004: I got a refund on all orders and tried on my phone 2 tracked so far

            • @StarPlatinum: did you use a new email or id? or used the same one

              • @fiz2004: I used everything the same I just had them refund all my other orders that didn’t track

  • +1

    Anyone can place the order successfully yet?

    • Yeah I just did 3 now and all tracked.

  • +1

    Tracked in 5 min all 3 purchaces
    And $15 bonus is Completed pending

  • Tapped out at 6 orders today

  • Mine hasn't tracked and it has been over a hour. I will keep waiting I guess.

  • -1

    Cashback is qualified only for New Boost customers.

    annnnnnd that's why I prefer Cashrewards for these Boost Mobile deals, that and the almost-instant tracking emails

    • +3

      Hey mate, Boost actually updated their terms earlier today to clarify that this term is incorrect. It was supplied by Boost but is an outdated term, we've since updated on our end.

  • Purchased 3, tracked and challenge complete. Great.

    Also GYB if you can please have a look at messages for an issue with one of my Amazon orders
