$12 Cashback on Boost 70GB 28-Day Prepaid SIM Starter Pack for $12 Delivered @ Cashrewards

600

Credit to @BargainsGrabber 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

  • Hmmmm does letting it expire count as deactivated?

    • +8

      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)

    • +1

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

    • +1

      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.

      • +1

        Will give it a go

      • +1

        Wow Boost let me buy a SIM again!

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

    • 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.

    But but but I used get paid to buy this SIM.

      There was a $3 Boost profit several hours ago: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/861310

      I didn't check OzB so missed it too!

      • I lost $2 from Amaysim purchase yesterday :( Should buy this one instead … I think I'll buy this one also for free burrito from Guzman + try Doordash 50% discount again :P and other freebies

      • typo & hence correction ?

        • Don't know. Perhaps Boost discounted the $35 SIM card to $12 when the TCB cashback was still at $15. I had checked Boost a few days ago and the $35 SIM card wasn't discounted.

      • It used to be common place to put "$3 profit" in the title, that would have set off my email alert…

    Cheers. Grabbed a few

    • do you get multiple cash backs?

      • +2

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

        Will need them for my free trackerone GPS trackers lol

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

    • Cashrewards hasn't included this restriction in its T&Cs yet. Up to you if you want to take the risk to port out.
      TA mentioned this new term in the TopCashback Boost offers.

  • 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.

    • 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

  • Unable to place order.
    Annoying, seems to happen so often.

    Will have to try again later

    • Was VPN causing it for me

      • Im using mobile, via cashrewards app

        • @taoz Is Boost blocking you from placing the order with Sorry, something went wrong message?

          I placed an order via the Cashrewards app and it tracked in 2 minutes. I'm using Telstra mobile data and paused the antivirus app.

          • @trixieb: Yea ..had that message each time there is a promo on phone and on desktop.

            I have nothing running that would stop it to my knowledge

  • Can I just use this so I can get a 'first time order' on all the food apps? Assuming I can let this expire and just use it as a burner number simply to receive texts?

    • +2

      Yes, that’s what a lot of true OzBargainers do.

      Yes :)

      Other members have mentioned using a new email and new mobile number:

      Assuming I can let this expire

      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.

      And with this knowledge you may now begin making your spreadsheets

    Bought and tracked immediately

  • If its not in the CR terms then surely it can't be enforced yet?

    • Possibly.

  • I’ve missed Boost Mobile…

  • +4

    I wish these deals will come back monthly. Don't need to make a profit, just 1 sim free each month for my data is good enough.

  • how many of these can i buy lol

    • +1

      As many as Boost allows you until you get 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

    Just bought one, thanks mate

  • I buy 4 then it comes the error.

    Perfect timing for upcoming road trip

  • Hi there, I don’t see $12 for 70gb under the cashback rates.
    I only see:
    $17 back on $45
    $12 back on $35 <- is this the $12 70gb?

    Thanks!

    • $12 back on $35 <- is this the $12 70gb?

      Yes. Cashrewards will link to the Boost website that also shows the picture of the 70GB SIM card with $35 on it.

  • +2

    boost is back! tracking email received straight away

  • As always.

    Sorry, we are unable process your order. Please try again later.

    Probably get blacklisted

    • Oh no! Have you bought several Boost SIM cards recently?

      Did you try changing your email, manually typing your address or payment card?

      • Had been a year I think.

        Changing email will work?

        • It may work on its own or in conjunction with the above changes.

          • @trixieb: I can confirm if I change everything except my Legal name and phone number.

            Still won't work.

            nvm I will stick with felix…

            Thanks bro.

              @solacens: Hope you will be released from Boost jail soon :(

              Some members here had changed their names and phone numbers slightly when they were blocked and were able to place the order. Boost seems to only check IDs when activating, not when placing the order.

    Using Cashrewards app, first attempt "Try again later", second attempt successful and tracked in minutes. Maybe time for double dipping at TCB now lol.
    Update: Bought one more, also went through and tracked.
