FREE Boost SIM after cashback. Cashrewards hasn't mentioned that the SIM must not be deactivated until your cashback is payable yet. It may be a new Boost term but it hasn't been included in Cashrewards T&Cs at the moment. TA's comment: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15597173/redir

Please note that letting the number expire and not recharging is eligible for cashback.

Deactivate means requesting Boost to remove the number or porting out.

What you need to know

  • Multiple SIM purchases need to be made as separate transactions. Adding more than one SIM to an order will result in an untracked purchase.
  • SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering.
  • Cashback is ineligible on recharges, phones, bundles, accessories, eSIMs, plans or products not listed in the cashback table of rates, use of codes not listed on Cashrewards, and purchases via the Boost app.
  • You must return and click through Cashrewards for each new transaction.

Boost:

  • 70GB on activation for new customers. 25GB on next recharge. Activate by 21 October 2024.
  • SIM offer ends 19 August 2024.
  • From 22 October 2024, this recharge will increase to $39.

    Hmmmm does letting it expire count as deactivated?

    • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 10:08

      No. Letting it expire and not recharging is fine for cashback. I had confirmed with TA on a previous TCB offer.

      Deactivate would be requesting Boost to remove the number or porting out. However both Cashrewards and ShopBack haven't included this new term in their Boost offers yet.

    Cheers OP. Good time to compare to Aldi (Telstra Wholesale)

    • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 10:18

      Boost may be better than ALDI, depending on your location. Boost operates over the full Telstra network.

      All Telstra MVNOs run on the 'Telstra Wholesale' network, with the lone exception of Boost Mobile (which operates over the full Telstra network). While Telstra’s full network reaches 99.6% of the population, the wholesale version covers 98.8%. It might not seem like a huge difference, but it means Telstra MVNOs other than Boost might not be an option for customers in some regional or rural areas.

        I think JB is also the full Telstra network

    • mr_asstight on 13/08/2024 - 22:18

      Out of all the carriers Telstra is the worst for me

  • Royale with cheese on 13/08/2024 - 10:13

    I do find reception poor at my place and also CB tracking has been abysmal. But still tempted to try my luck

      Just bought this Boost SIM via the Cashrewards app and it tracked in 2 minutes! Hope this will track for you. I'm using Telstra mobile data and paused the antivirus app.

      Cashrewards customer service seems responsive and helpful if there are any issues.

      I'm in the metro area and find Telstra > Boost > Amaysim.

      • darkly on 13/08/2024 - 13:56

        I purchased and activated Boost in mid June. Cashrewards tracked straight away, but is still pending.

        I've found Boost reception to be quite good though.

  • tman2020 on 13/08/2024 - 10:17

    Is this only for SIM or eSIM as well. I can't seem to purchase an eSIM without the boost app.

    • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 10:23

      Not for eSIM purchase. However you may still receive cashback when you buy the physical SIM and convert to eSIM after activating as reported here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15567223/redir

      As per the post description:

      Cashback is ineligible on recharges, phones, bundles, accessories, eSIMs, plans or products not listed in the cashback table of rates, use of codes not listed on Cashrewards, and purchases via the Boost app.

        Multiple SIM purchases need to be made as separate transactions. Adding more than one SIM to an order will result in an untracked purchase.

    Hmm, so cant port out at the end of 28 days…

  • GenerallyClumsy on 13/08/2024 - 10:44

    So, what's the best strategy to make the most of these cashbacks/deals on going? Is there only one cashback per person per month or something? What about getting the $12 over and over again? My primary number is with Telstra year long pre-paid.

    • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 12:42

      what's the best strategy to make the most of these cashbacks/deals on going?

      I buy when I need data for a spare phone. I'm with Telstra on my main phone.

      Is there only one cashback per person per month or something? What about getting the $12 over and over again?

      There isn't a limit from the cashback companies. However Boost may block you from buying too many SIM cards with the Sorry, something went wrong message. Some customers can buy more than others. Each purchase has to be made separately for cashback: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15597618/redir

        That's really helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it out simply. There is so much info out there. So I could buy a few and activate them before The Activation deadline, as long as they are separate transactions?

        Do I have to create a new login with boost each time?

        • trixieb on 13/08/2024 - 15:06
          +1

          So I could buy a few and activate them before The Activation deadline, as long as they are separate transactions?

          Yes, separate transactions for cashback. Each SIM card must be activated separately with a different new number within 30 days of ordering for cashback.

          Do I have to create a new login with boost each time?

          No, you use the same login and ID. That's how Boost knows how many SIM cards were purchased and can restrict the amount you buy.

          If you encounter the Sorry, something went wrong message while trying to activate, you would have to contact Boost support (via live chat) to activate for you.

      Letting it expire and not recharging is fine for cashback.

      just use it as a burner number simply to receive texts?

      You have 6 months to receive texts before the number expires automatically.

      From Boost: If your phone isn’t recharged for a period of 6 months it will be deemed inactive and you will lose your number.

                  It has been mentioned on OzB and I've checked with Telstra/Boost. As long as you get a new mobile number, you are considered a new Boost customer and will be eligible for cashback. Hence you cannot use your existing number (or use the SIM as a recharge) for cashback.

                  • ab c on 14/08/2024 - 15:33

                    @trixieb: Thanks for clarification of EXISTING Boost-practice of NOT-enforcing this criteria.
                    Pls note that a layman-person interpretation of 'NEW Boost customers' is obvious…read that phrase again.
                    If Boost decided to enforce this criteria, then it's most likely that the Telecommunication-Ombudsman will be on Boost-side & people can't complain that the phrase can be interpreted-differently, eg NEW mobile number

                    Also, note that when you order Boost sim: you must supply name, address & DOB. Your ID can-be validated by Boost…anyone did online validation recently & got your ID-validated INSTANTLY eg Boost/Amaysim ID-check, NEW bank account creation etc ? Source includes Driver Licenses etc. Simply put…pls don't abuse the system.

                    May I ask, what motive you to spend considerable time & effort @ OzBargain ?
