      No, its $15 for your data, You know when it gets hacked.

  • yes please !

    CR been quiet, to prepare for this secret weapon?
    Boost profit deal on steroid???

  • lets not abuse this so we can continually get profit CB lol

    • But that is not our way.

    • Lol

    CB hasn’t tracked since yesterday for me.

    • +1

      i hope it's honoured. Everyone buy at your own risk I guess. 7 days to track is a bit long

    • Same here since 3am

      • Tracked as $40

  • absolutely huge, cheers

    edit: nvm, 'application Max Quota reached' on checkout. sigh…

  • +1

    FYI - Optus Sport is $12 per 28 days for Optus prepaid customers

  • +1

    Maxed at 1, still good. Thanks for posting!

    • cannot you place multiple orders?

      • Application quota exceeded. I’m assuming that’s the error message for the purchase limited to once per account.

        • seems tied to phone number..if you have a few spare/temp numbers around

          • @xmchen: I’ve not signed into anything. It vomits right after I click the yellow buy sim button. I’m on the app btw.

            • @Alley Cat: interesting, I used two phone numbers and bought two sim card. Now hoping they will be honored

              • +2

                @xmchen: Could just be the backend is hammered by the number of concurrent connections going on rn lol

              • @AsukaST: Thanks, I was on the cr app. Less risky via the apps when it comes to tracking.

          • @xmchen: Surely we have some Boost SIMs that haven't expired yet.

    Giving away data for free again.

    • +2

      Better, their paying you for your data to give away.

  • +5

    getting a site error upon trying to buy now, says something like max quota reached, even tho i havent done anything

  • +1

    Ordered, thanks OP :D

  • +2

    application Max Quota reached.

    got this one.

  • application Max Quota reached.

  • getting ozbargained hard

  • Application max quota.

    Out of stock basically?

    • +2

      nah it's just the site is crashing.. if you keep persisting u can advance through the steps but after entering my credit card details it just whitescreens and im not too keen to keep entering my CC details over and over…

      • +1

        in the same boat - I refreshed and entered it twice only to get that screen twice..

        • +1

          yeah i can get through the max application quota thing regularly now but the checkout just stalls every time after entering CC details so that seems to be the actual impasse right now. Gosh Optus get your Sh#t together and give us our free money !

        • Yeah, check ur bank statement.! I got a pending charge eventhough the order did not get process due to the "application Max Quota reached."
          "

  • application Max Quota reached.

  • Look guys, can you all just pause for a few minutes so i can get my order through? I appreciate it, thanks! :D

    • NO

    • +1

      Yes, we need to share deals. Me first, then you guys can go next. xD

    With this one simple trick you can DDoS Optus website.

    • +2

      It has been 0 days since an Optus outage

  • What time you guys going to bed tonight?

  • +2

    what is the sim expiry date? when do I need to activate it?

  • application Max Quota reached. +1 not allowed to be processed.

  • +1

    Had to click a few times at each step but it got through in the end!

    • Hopefully cashback tracking won't be affected by the refreshes

  • Special terms

    Cashback is issued by Cashrewards, not Optus.

    Cashback is eligible on new sign ups only.

    Cashback is paid once per order/transaction, regardless of the number of plans purchased on that order.

    Does it mean multiple orders per single sim is allowed?

  • Has it tracked for anyone yet?

    • It takes 1-7 days to track, I wouldn’t expect anything until tomorrow at minimum

      • +1

        thank you

  • Surely they will just say you didn’t buy the $55 28 day sim you bought the $25 28 day sim?

    • +1

      This is the $55 SIM that’s discounted to $25 rn

      • +1

        Yep, and no coupon code was used as it was automatic discount. They should have updated their Cashback rates but didn't. Great find OP and Neoika

  • Another error, "Something went wrong with processing your request
    Credit card protection has been activated on this account because of multiple transactions occuring in a short time. Please try again later"

  • Any deals on an Optus friendly pocket wifi ?
    I've got a 100Gb/mth SIM going to waste from the HN free Pixel deal.

  • +2

    Error - application max quota reached

  • Planning to sim port from boost to this after 40 days. Didnt see any terms that stated anything about activation days to be eligible for cashback so I assume the card can be activated after 40 days and I can still get the cashback

  • +1

    I refreshed on the max quota and it went to the delivery screen but I got scared the CB wouldn't track.

    • +2

      I chose not go ahead with it due to the numerous errors I encountered and that cashrewards may not honor it

      • I started afresh about got the error again on the delivery page.

    • This is OzBargain

      • -1

        Yes and $15 is not a good deal to sell my data to optus.

    • Nowadays most companies are selling your data quietly, you’re not even made aware

      Invalid neg

  • +1

    Thanks OP, got through

  • Just be careful, I think they changed the cashback. NVM https://www.optus.com.au/prepaid/sim-plans/55 BUT DON'T CLICK THROUGH HERE

  • when do we need to activate the sim card?

    And what does it mean by 'new signups only' specified in the special terms? Sounds worrying, I hope it means new signups for optus.

    Thanks

  • +1

    Sorry OP, have been trying for over an hour now. Tried multiple browsers, phones, and laptops but to no avail. Will revoke my downvote if this works just for once!

    And downvoted due to Optus being Optus, you brought us an amazing deal. cheers!

  • Ordered one after 5 attempts and one blocked card, lets see if this tracks or not.

  • -1

    Been wasting my time for an hour as well.
    Hope Optus don't take any money from me.

    • +1

      You’d have received a payment notification if any went through as it’s immediate

        • +1

          You would have been negged for mentioning "Hope they don't take money from you". Not possible if you haven't had any luck during that wasted hour OR did you enter your payment details and then timed out on check-out?

          Have a plus vote to counter for your one hour wasted. A true Ozbargainer :-)

          • +1

            @Borg: Cheers Borg.

            Yep, I've entered my card details at least 10 times and only then does it tell me 'application Max Quota reached' so I'm unsure if Optus now has my bank details.

            • @Gazza-75: Mmm, that is not good and I'd be annoyed at that as well. There is no way of knowing without calling them to check if your details (Name) was captured on their systems regardless of purchase falling to go through!

            • @Gazza-75:

              I'm unsure if Optus now has my bank details.

              Optus yes
              Russian hackers да

  • Classic Optus

  • Yeah, I couldn't get past the "Buy Sim" page. It just goes to the a blank page with "application Max Quota reached." I tested on PC using a few different browsers. Perhaps OZB has freaked their systems out. :-)

  • +1

    Was able to order with a few tries - Thanks Op! Hope the cashback tracks alright

    • Same, i retried a 2nd time (on the payment page) and it successfully worked. I'll only order 1 sim card :)

  • Ordered. When i got the max quota i just kept clicking about 20-30 times and eventually got to the next stage

    • Kept clicking what?

      • Buy sim
        Agree and continue to delivery
        The yellow buttons at the bottom of each page/step

    • Thanks, it worked…grabbed one :)

  • +1

    I am so used to boost rejection that I was expecting the standard something went wrong message even on the Optus site! Surprise when this actually ordered successfully. Hopefully it tracks. Took screenshots just incase.

  • +1

    Getting this error messagde "application Max Quota reached."

  • Ended

  • -2

    Anyone been charged $1 bizarre

  • The real question has anyones purchase track yet? I'm hesitant to keep clicking and trying to 'force' the purchase…

    • Tracked in 1 to 7 Days

      it hasn't been a day yet so check back tomorrow if you're hesitant
