      I bought a different Optus SIM through CR late on Friday night. Has not tracked yet.

    I will buy when it tracks for others, so please report when it tracks
    Can not afford to lose money atm

  • Jollystacker on 30/04/2024 - 22:34

    Will it track?

  • Koipanda on 30/04/2024 - 22:51

    Just bought one, lets see if it will track. I bought a 365 sim 3 days ago and that still hasn't tracked yet.

    • Turd on 30/04/2024 - 22:53

      How when it keeps saying Max Quota reached?

      • Koipanda on 30/04/2024 - 22:57

        Not sure, i cant make anymore purchase. First time it didn't say that.

    Thank op, ordered one!

  • Turd on 30/04/2024 - 23:12

    Optus website seems broken

    Maybe someone bought 1000 orders, so profit $15,000

  • Its4me on 30/04/2024 - 23:41

    Max quota appears not to be a website error - I went through to the payment page without error when choosing another SIM; this one errors repeatedly.

    i.e. Max quota max mean sold out.

    • Turd on 30/04/2024 - 23:49

      So someone did buy 1000000000 SIMs

      • Its4me on 30/04/2024 - 23:58

        Maybe. Perhaps they'll reset tomorrow.

        Will try again in 2 minutes.

        • Its4me on 01/05/2024 - 00:08

          Order successful!

  • edumacation on 30/04/2024 - 23:47

    does this work with esim or just regular one?

    • Turd on 30/04/2024 - 23:49

      Regular only

  • rrrrrrein on 30/04/2024 - 23:58

    Ordered one, see when it will be tracked

  • DaddyJi on 01/05/2024 - 00:05

    Prepaid categories not visible under the cashback rates section anymore

  • lachlantula on 01/05/2024 - 00:05

    rates are back to normal

  • rrrrrrein on 01/05/2024 - 00:13

    If it is not tracked within 7days, will ask Optus for the refund

    • nned2say on 01/05/2024 - 08:52

      Will Optus refund if they have sent out the sim card and you activate it?

      • rrrrrrein on 01/05/2024 - 09:25

        I won't activate it within 7 days

          Same here. It shows $40 around 12:30 pm.

  • 2superblue on 01/05/2024 - 17:15

    Saw this deal but didn't want to jump on it as the purchase i made on 25/4 hasn't even been tracked.

    • OhNoUShiz on 01/05/2024 - 18:14

      oh no, now i am worried.

      • rrrrrrein on 01/05/2024 - 18:33

        I don't think it was deemed tracked. CR tends to track purchase fairly quick

  • ilovefullprice on 01/05/2024 - 21:59

    No, can’t believe I missed this

  • Iluvfreebies on 02/05/2024 - 07:05

    Did anyone have their purchase tracked?

  • Sidor on 02/05/2024 - 07:11

    CR has not tracked cashbacl yet, but 3 clocks been recorded.

  • rrrrrrein on 02/05/2024 - 08:57

    Not tracked yet - Placed order on 20 Apr night

    • kampret on 02/05/2024 - 09:05

      Same. Placed order on Apr 30, 2024, 9:29 PM

    Also not tracked, will file claim after 7 days

  • RoosterBooster on 02/05/2024 - 09:23

    My order from 30 April, 10pm has not tracked either.

  • mysterytal on 02/05/2024 - 11:34

    Recieved the SIM pack this morning requiring sight of my passport and a signature to release it to me. No fake names with this one. Luckily, I used my real name.

  • turk182 on 02/05/2024 - 12:40

    Arrived too. Driver took down my licence number. No signature

    • Borg on 02/05/2024 - 13:16

      I refused to give Drivers licence to courier…none of their business especially these days with ID theft. Happy for them to return if that's the new thing!

      • MatrixM on 07/05/2024 - 16:15

        they just needed any id.
        I used bank card but I'm sure medicare card would've been fine too

  • Iluvfreebies on 02/05/2024 - 13:21

    Do they take it to the post office if no one is at home?

    • BargainsGrabber on 02/05/2024 - 13:24
      +2

      According to the tracking, yes it’ll be taken to your local post office

    • UrMumsOnlyFan on 02/05/2024 - 18:14

      Yes. Needed to show ID at the post office, which is normal for any parcel collection, but then they needed to record or register the ID detail and I had to sign.

      • BargainsGrabber on 02/05/2024 - 19:02

        Very odd then. I wasn’t at home and it asked me to collect at the nearby parcel lockers

        • wavesgreen on 02/05/2024 - 19:22

          Optus usually send via StarTrack AirLock product which requires additional ID verification than normal parcels. They have to record the last 4 digits of your ID into their scanner as I recall.

          Also I seem to recall that you can collect StarTrack AirLock items from Parcel Lockers provided you have already verified your ID through your AusPost MyPost account. Or at least I can and I have, so I'm assuming that's it.

  • OhNoUShiz on 02/05/2024 - 15:25

    Received via startrack. No CR tracking yet. Should i activate now?

  • SuperLate on 03/05/2024 - 12:40

    If it doesn't track and CR refuse to honour the claim then how do we return this to Optus for a refund ?

    • Iluvfreebies on 03/05/2024 - 13:42

      I would like to know too. CR previously is good at honouring cashbacks.

  • Mortin on 03/05/2024 - 13:44

    Gad I did not buy it. Don't have money to burn atm

  • duna0104 on 03/05/2024 - 13:56

    Tracked as $40, got email just now.

    • BargainsGrabber on 03/05/2024 - 14:03

      When did you buy yours? Haven’t received an email yet

      • mysterytal on 03/05/2024 - 14:07

        I bought mine about 6PM before the offer was posted on here. Just received a tracking email about a half hour ago.

  • ujwols on 03/05/2024 - 14:15

    Out of 2 purchases, 1 has tracked just now

  • tt12387 on 04/05/2024 - 08:55

    When I didn't receive the goods, I called Optus to cancel the order. The customer service said that the cancellation was successful, but I still received the card. What should I do?

    • hawkeye93 on 04/05/2024 - 10:25

      Keep it then.

    • Borg on 04/05/2024 - 12:11

      If cancelled then my gusss the card activation number will fail. You could test by trying to activate it and see if it shows as valid number.

  • OhNoUShiz on 04/05/2024 - 10:49

    Still didn’t track. On another sim deal, shopback tracked the next day. So disappointing, might call optus to cancel it.

      I submitted a missing cashback claim and they replied asking if it was the first ever sign up with Optus since it's for new sign ups only …

      • Borg on 06/05/2024 - 23:41
        +2

        Strange reply from them as you aren't disputing a "rejected cashback", you are only submitting a "missing cashback" (not tracked) hence what difference would that make at this stage regardless!

        • UrMumsOnlyFan on 06/05/2024 - 23:47

          True. Unless they want to use that as a pretence for not bothering to investigate.

          I fear that dealing with CR on this will be painful.

  • mysterytal on 06/05/2024 - 23:56

    Are we actually supposed to activate this SIM card within a certain time limit? The Boost SIM's had to be activated within 30 days of order and the Amaysim had to be activated within 20 days of order but for the life of me I can't find the time limit for this one.

  • atymic on 07/05/2024 - 09:42

          • wavesgreen on 07/05/2024 - 15:23

              @wavesgreen: If you have purchase at 7pm on 30 apr. The send claim will appear after 7pm today. Exactly 7 days including hours. I might be wrong.

    Claim submitted. How long will take for CR to confirm or deny it?
    My Optus card is still at the post office, if CR refused to approve it I am thinking not picking it up altogether.

  • ako on 08/05/2024 - 10:38

    Hi ako,

    Thank you for sending through your Optus Postpaid Mobile order confirmation. I hope you're doing great.

    I’m happy to help you out with this and I have now manually added the transaction for Optus Postpaid Mobile to your Cashrewards account.

    Sit back and relax, there is nothing more you need to do for now. The transaction will show as pending while the store confirms your eligibility for cashback. It can take 30-90 days and yes, I know this is a long time to wait! The store uses this time to ensure there have been no returns or refunds and to check their analytics attributed the sale to Cashrewards for cashback and (fingers crossed) not to another marketing channel.

    The estimated approval time listed against your transaction does not apply to queried transactions so please ignore this.

    Check out some of our other fantastic offers on Cashrewards while you wait. Can’t wait to see your balance grow!

    Sincerely,
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Claimed and $40 manually added!

  • rrrrrrein on 08/05/2024 - 11:48

    Claimed and $40 was manually added by customer service just now.

    Time to activate the sim?

    • OhNoUShiz on 08/05/2024 - 12:21

      When did you submit the claim?

      • rrrrrrein on 08/05/2024 - 12:45

        Last night when claim button was available

  • SuperLate on 08/05/2024 - 13:17
    +2

    Got an email from CR after claim submission.

    Before I proceed further, could you please confirm if this is your first ever transaction with Optus? It's important to note that Optus Postpaid & Prepaid Mobile only offers cashback to brand new sign ups only. If you've made a previous purchase with the store, your untracked sale will unfortunately not be eligible for cashback.

    Is everyone getting this email to confirm ? I'm not sure if there was anything like this mentioned in the CR cashback terms at the time of purchase. So how can they refuse the cashback especially when this cashback is provided by CR and not by Optus.
    I haven't had any purchase from Optus before but I'm still curious.

    Edit: Terms say this is for new sign ups. Is this different from first ever transaction and to brand new sign up ?

    • ab c on 24/05/2024 - 16:40

      CashRewards can wash their hands & have stated 'Tips to get cashback…Read store special terms'-> https://www.cashrewards.com.au/store/optus-prepaid-sim

      Optus stated 'New services only' (easily-lost in their busy-website…intentional?) & that is subject to interpretation-> https://www.cashrewards.com.au/store/optus-prepaid-sim

      'New services only' is likely to be strictly interpreted by Optus & NOT as lose as Amaysim/Boost.

      If only people realised words are subject-to-interpretations. CashRewards/ShopBack are @ the mercy of the Telcos. If Optus reject these money-back claims, not certain if CashRewards/ShopBack will dip into their own-pocket to honour them. May be keep money-back claims SMALL may help ?

      May be people should read-carefully…imo, traps are EVERY-WHERE !

      Feel free to share your Optus-experience.

      Btw, ShopBack have similar T&C, imo they're also subject to interpretations, even though their-practice thus far is narrow-interpretation…but Amaysim can turn against you anytime-> https://www.shopback.com.au/amaysim-mobile

      ShopBack stated 'Special notes from store…Cashback is only applicable for customers getting a New Service (SIM) & New Sign Ups (New Customers).'
      May be Amaysim can reject 'past' customers because you ALREADY have an account with them & hence NOT-meet 'New Sign Ups (New Customers)' criteria ?

      Simply put, your money-back claims are @ risk because you don't know when Telco START-rejecting…&/or ShopBack/CashRewards turn on you !

      • UrMumsOnlyFan on 24/05/2024 - 17:52

    Got that first ever purchase email as well. Told CR I have home BB with optus and the rep added the $40 but I got the feeling optus will reject it down the track. Took the safe option and just contacted optus and got them to refund the order even though it's been delivered. Optus number is 1300929949 if anyone else wants to get a refund.

    Edit: Optus will need the sim card number to cancel and refund. No need to return the sim packaging.

    • ako on 09/05/2024 - 11:35

      Called and cancelled using the number. Thanks!!

    • Sidor on 10/05/2024 - 07:52

      I may do the same, no point activating SIM and Cashrewards not honouring the cashback.
