- Cashback is ineligible on use of any codes not approved and posted by TopCashback.
- SIM must be activated within 20 days of purchase. Failure to do so will result in cashback being declined.
- Recharges to existing services are ineligible for cashback.
Phones & phone deals are ineligible for cashback.- Cashback is ineligible on use of gift cards as payment and/or purchase of gift cards.
Referrer gets $35, referee gets $10 (after $10 of earned cashback within 180 days of signing up).
Yes
Do you know about the approval time for amaysim with TCB? Is it also as quick as Cashrewards?
I don't have a clue - they were only recently added to TCB.
@Quarter Pounder: @Quarter Pounder @xers
It will be on par with CR as we're both off the same affiliate network. We've only had amaysim on site for a few weeks, and I can see that it takes around one week for them to move from 'pending' to 'confirmed' which is a lot faster than most merchants. 'Payable' will come after the merchant is invoiced, so 60-75 days is my estimate and maybe even earlier. This of course is provided the SIM is activated within 20 days - they are strict on this term. Hope this helps :)

@tightarse: Interesting, my last amaysim cashback from CR was approved in 3 days. Wondering if that will happen with TCB too?
@Quarter Pounder: Unless it was manually approved by CR, I can tell you that's impossible, but kudos to CR if they did as they then wear the risk of the buyer not activating. I work directly with amaysim and I know their procedures :)
@tightarse: I don't think it was approved manually - i never contacted them. Sim is still not activated but will be within 20 days.

@tightarse: @tightarse Can you confirm if $9.75 cashback is for the following plan?
https://www.amaysim.com.au/sim-plans/28-day-sim-plans/unlimi…
@Ash-Say: Hi. Yes it is. But please don’t click from that link. Click the ‘Get Cashback’ button on TopCashback and buy the SIM. Cheers.
@Quarter Pounder: I think I’ve worked it out. Unless I’m mistaken, CR likely approved based on the transaction being set to ‘confirmed’ status at network level. This means everything looks right by amaysim as far as the purchase goes, therefore CR’s backend auto-approves the transaction to the member. However if the SIM is later returned, cancelled or not activated, amaysim changes the status to ’declined’ at network level and CR won’t receive any payment, even though you as a member have already cashed out. Again, kudos to CR if they’re prepared to take the risk. Sorry for rambling on, and I hope it makes some sense. All the best, and enjoy the cash :)
@tightarse: Thanks for the explanation TA.
As another data point I've experienced similar to Quarter Pounder with Amaysim and CR - tracked in under 15 minutes from purchase with the tracking email saying "Estimated approval: Up to 75 days", but it was approved after 7 days and I cashed out immediately :)
My last Amaysim sim purchase via CR was on 1/5/2024, and it's still currently Pending status. It says estimated approval date of 15/7/2024 (which is 75 days). So not sure how you guys got yours approved so quickly. Or CR's processes have changed and it can actually take up to 75 days to approve.
@Alinnia: Was it this $26 cashback on $15 sim deal? If so, that was because it initially tracked the wrong amount which needed to be manually adjusted by Cashrewards hence the slow approval.
@xers: Actuality the opposite. There was a flurry of early orders that tracked at the wrong amount, that CR then went through and corrected, triggering early approval in the process as theorised by TA.
Then at some point other orders were just being processed normally. Hence the standard 75 days. Mine is also 'Pending' til July.
@wavesgreen: Nah all my other orders with Amaysim which tracked automatically were all approved within a week of ordering. The only one that is still pending is this $26 cashback order (which initially tracked at $16.25).
@xers Yes, that's the deal that prompted me make the purchase via CR. I don't have any other Amaysim purchases in the last year that I can make make comparisons with unfortunately.
@tightarse Is the number of days for cashback to get approved for Amaysim, or any merchant actually, displayed on Topcashback's website? Would be useful to see this information prior to purchase.
@tightarse Think you miunderstood my question or maybe my wording wasn't clear sorry. Is it displayed on the website what the numbers of days for TCB to approve the transaction, ie for the tracking to update from Pending to Confirmed status? I know you mentioned it here on this thread but not every user reads Ozbargain lol. Also wouldn't want to have ping you to ask you about how long it would take for tracking to update to Confirmed status for every different merchant's TCB deal.
The same deal also shows up on both my Cashrewards and Shopback accounts so go with the one you use most for CB.
Hi TCB rep, When does this offer end please?
Hi, at this stage June 17 unless amaysim decides otherwise.
any improvement on the 6 month wait for cashback to be paid out?
Hi. We can only improve with your feedback. Can you please advise exactly which merchant is overdue by this long and I'll look into it for you. Thanks in advance :)
boost. it took 6 months but finally got it. that being said, topcashback is much, much slower than cashrewards for other merchants too like pizza hut. as long as it gets paid out, all's well, but i wish it didnt take so long
Thanks again, appreciate it. Take all constructive feedback on board and I can promise you things will improve. Have a lovely Sunday :)
0.25 cents loss..

doordash locked your Device id how can you re-register with same device?
Is it 1 per account?
Hey is amaysim on the list of excluded merchants? Because your websites t&c section says "see the list below" and there's nothing there.
I don't know how to tag the person responding to everyone, but hopefully they still see this
Hi. Not sure what you mean. Are you please able to provide a screenshot? Thanks.
Hey not sure the best way to show you screenshots but I've uploaded them here:

The first link is a screenshot of the whole page on your site im talking about, the second one is zoomed in on the specific paragraph & the appropriate text highlighted.
Thanks. There’s no excluded merchants listed in those terms, so you’re good to go :)
They applied EOFY promo automatically at checkout - would it still eligible for cashback?
Yep. No issue at all.
Anyone, pls share your-experience: Boost Mobile $35 Cashback on $12 45GB SIM ($23 Profit with Code) TopCashback-AU-> https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/833326

Just wondering how long does it take for cashback tracking to appear for an Amaysim esim purchase? Also, does TCB have a page to view Clicked History?
Thanks, snagged one
@tightarse
1. How does TopCashback AU know if sim is activated? Is each purchase linked with the sim number?
2. Can I purchase 2 sims in separate transactions and get cashback for both?
Hi. Answer to (1) is we don’t. Amaysim knows and they are the ones responsible for approving or declining. Answer to (2) is can’t see why not. We’ve not been given instructions to the contrary. Hope this helps :)
@tightarse
Hi there, love your work!
I just purchased a $10 Sim through the link above. As part of the purchasing process, amaysim sent me a text with a web link l had to click on to validate my request, I had no option but to do it otherwise I couldn’t proceed further on the topcash page to be able to purchase the sim (I have an account with amaysim for previous Sim purchases).
Is that going to invalidate my topcash claim?
Just wondering has your purchase tracked yet? I'm also wondering if Amaysim's extra compulsory validation step for existing Amaysim email account would cause any issues.
Good morning, yes it tracked within a couple of hours. 👍
Nice, that's good to hear. Did you order an esim or physical sim?
I ordered a physical sim last night but no tracking yet. I'm wondering if the tracking will only appear after they ship the physical sim or something…
@tightarse @TopCashback-AU / Anyone,
Relatively new to money-back offers for 1-month-mobile-plans: Boost & Amaysim.
May be traps are everywhere for novice?
As you know, 1 month sim-plan are CHURN-sims & is the problem with Amaysim-only ?
Why ShopBack is stating a more-restrictive criteria for Amaysim?
ShopBack criteria: 'Cashback is only applicable for customers getting a New Service (SIM) & New Sign Ups (New Customers)'
CashRewards criteria: 'Eligible for new & existing amaysim customers on purchase of a new service (SIM)' & 'Tips to get cashback…Read store special terms'
TopCashBack criteria: 'Cashback is eligible for new & existing amaysim customers on purchase of a new service (SIM)' ?
May be Boost won't have a 'blanket-approval' moving-forward, '…they(Telstra) will be adding a further requirement around SIMs remaining active or recharged, but we’re waiting on exact conditions & wording before we add to our Boost page'

May be money-back offers are lure…OzBargainers don't know until the approval period has lapsed: UN-approved/UN-track money-back claims are @ risk ?
May be these money-back offers NEED novice to-fail ?
General, Ozbargainers don't keep good record (time-consuming) & tracking system never runs smoothly, hence system-failure help to keep money-back-systems alive.
Even OzBargainers who providED proof-of-purchases have experienced money-back rejections, ie ShopBack/CashRewards/TopCashBack can't blame tracking/system issues.
If not enough revenue to money-back-systems, simply reject claims ? OzBargainers recent experience with ShopBack offers,
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/849379
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/849257
May be candid & transparency, but the reality is clear-as-mud…wonder-why ?
May be Telstra &/or Optus need to protect their client-base on their expensive-plans & if many OzBargainers switches to CHURN-sims, will-they reject claims to deter ?
Do OzBargainers have an appreciation of what it cost carriers to build their mobile-network & the need to recover those cost over a medium-term, eg 3G ?
May be AU LOW-population density warrant higher mobile-cost ?
May be knowledge-sharing ? Feel free to neg, but DO share your view.
May be….
Have the amaysim plans changed? Now it is 64gb data for $10
Want to make sure its eligible for cashback..
Double data bonus
so cashback still eligible?
Yep
Has anyone's tracked yet?
Purchased one on mine and my partners account - both still not tracked. I know it says 7 days, but just curious
Yes, mine tracked about an hour after placing the order.
Oh no.. i don't like the sound of that..
Yes, mine trapped within a couple of hours
My transaction has now been sorted out. Thanks TA!
Did your purchase end up tracking for you?
Wanted to check if anyone else is having issues, as mine still hasn’t tracked after 2 days.
Mine did not, but got in contact with TA and he fixed it up.
Out of curiosity, what device did you use to purchase?
I used a desktop browser. Same browser tracked for purchases in the past
Cashback became "payable" in 5 days!
The sim hasn't even arrived yet.
Not bad at all, TopCashback and Amaysim.
Ordered: 09:26am
Tracked 09:57am
Does it include esim
