TopCashback has increased the cashback to its highest ever at $80 for the 170GB 12 month plan for $230. Costs $150 after cashback.

Activate within 30 days of purchase to get cashback

What will stop me getting my cashback

  • SIM must be activated within 30 days of purchase, and must not be deactivated until your cashback is payable. If the SIM is deactivated prior, Boost may decline cashback.
  • Multiple SIM purchases need to be made as separate transactions. If there is more than one SIM in an order, it will result in an untracked purchase and the purchase will be ineligible for cashback.
  • Cashback is ineligible on eSIMs, recharges, phones, bundles, accessories.
  • Cashback is ineligible on use of any codes not approved and posted by TopCashback.
  • Cashback is ineligible on purchase of gift cards and/or use of gift cards for payment.
  • Cashback is ineligible on purchases made via the retailer's mobile app.

What else is essential

  • Most retailers calculate cashback based on purchase amount excluding GST, other taxes, and delivery fees. Your cashback may report lower than expected due to this.
  • Always return to TopCashback and click through via the pink cashback button to the retailer's website for each new transaction. Ensure the TopCashback link is the last one used to visit the retailer's website prior to completing your purchase.

Good to know

  • Ensure you disable plugins such as Honey, AdBlock, uBlock, Pi-hole & VPNs prior to clicking/tapping from TopCashback as they will prevent your order from tracking.
  • If you cancel / return / exchange / modify your completed order, it will no longer be eligible for cashback and will be declined in your account.

What to do and when

  • Missing cashback claims must be lodged within 100 days of purchase.

From Boost:

Includes 170GB on activation by 10 March 2025. From 11 March includes 160GB on activation. For new customers only.

Last chance, SIM unavailable from 21 October 24.

Referral Links

Referral: random (3471)

Referrer gets $35, referee gets $10 (after $10 of earned cashback within 180 days of signing up).

  • fortunecookie on 12/10/2024 - 14:05

    Anyone knows when the expiry of the sim is?

    Yes I understand to get the cashback you must activate within 30 days.

    • trixieb on 12/10/2024 - 14:22

      Don't know but Boost mentions to activate by 10 March 2025 to get 170GB. I assume the SIM expiry would be after 10/03/2025.
      New stock expiry mentioned here 11/04/2026

        Thanks. I'm also checking with a Boost rep just to be safe.

        • JackieCh on 12/10/2024 - 17:42

          I'm keen to know too!

          • fortunecookie on 14/10/2024 - 13:44

            @JackieCh: Just heard back from the rep:

            Hi, we received further details from our support team. While the deal is available to purchase until the 21st of October, you would have up to March 10 2025 to activate the SIM to access the 170GB bonus data. We are limited in being able to retrieve the exact expiry date of the SIM itself, but it's generally up to a year or two. The date would be stated on the back of the packaging. - Austin

        • Miscreant on 12/10/2024 - 18:25

          Can you please update us on what you hear from the rep?

          • fortunecookie on 14/10/2024 - 13:44

            @Miscreant: See above :)

            • G-rig on 14/10/2024 - 15:29

              @fortunecookie: What are the new deals next year if everyone is rushing to get one of these?

              Worse than the current Sim without cashback it sounds ??

              • fortunecookie on 14/10/2024 - 15:48

                @G-rig: We'll see what new deals they'd come up with.

                To me this sim kit is good value given I don't use much data. Paying $12.50/month for unlimited sms and calls is good enough for me.

                • G-rig on 14/10/2024 - 16:12

                  @fortunecookie: Yeah it's great. I got WiFi home and Work and don't use/need much data either. The 140-170GB usually heaps.

                  Thought I saw somewhere what the deals may be but can't remember. No doubt more expensive cheapest plan (and more data perhaps). Hopefully they'll have some form of 365 day Sim.

  • mrhorse on 12/10/2024 - 14:12

    This or keep my $170 woolies mobile plan (10% off at woolies every month)

    • neoleo on 12/10/2024 - 14:19
      +1

      If your plan will end soon, better and cheaper with this Boost Mobile for $150 a year total cost after cashback.

      • mrhorse on 12/10/2024 - 14:21

        Thanks.
        Mine literally ends tomorrow, but woolies no longer offers the $170 plan for new customers so need to balance the pros and cons before bailing out.

        • neoleo on 12/10/2024 - 14:22

          Woolworths mobile is only 4G compared with Boost Mobile 5G already and cheaper too at $150 cost with this promo.

          • Charlie Dont Surf on 12/10/2024 - 15:12

            @neoleo: Are you sure about that? Woolworths Mobile uses the Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network.

            Edit: Probably some of the grandfathered plans remain on 4G.

            • neoleo on 12/10/2024 - 15:23

              @Charlie Dont Surf: https://mobile.everyday.com.au/plans/long-expiry-plans?icmpi…

              The cheapest plans of $130 (180 days) and $250 (365 days) are only 4G, except the most expensive plan $320.

              • Charlie Dont Surf on 12/10/2024 - 15:28

                @neoleo: Yikes they have become so expensive. I am still on the $75 per six months grandfathered plan.

                • neoleo on 12/10/2024 - 15:31

                  @Charlie Dont Surf: Good for you if you can keep the plan. Boost Mobile is the son of Telstra, so better nationwide network coverage if compared with other Telstra MVNOs, I think.

                • scottishdave on 12/10/2024 - 20:00

                  @Charlie Dont Surf: Yes, I agree. I just want a small amount of data with unlimited talks and texts on the Telstra network for a reasonable price. I'm on Boost but with the latest jump in price I'm looking for a cheaper 365 day plan.

        • MikeHunt69 on 12/10/2024 - 17:42
          +1

          Just keep in mind boost are phasing out this plan $230 and will only have $300 or $350 recharge next year when you recharge again. Might be cheaper to hold onto woolies plan in the long run?

  • diiilpickle on 12/10/2024 - 14:57

    Does anyone know if we are able to swap to esim after activating the physical sim?

      Yes.

      Yes easy do it via boost app.

    • ARD on 12/10/2024 - 15:29

      How long we need to wait to swap and be still eligible for cashback? Can I do very next day after activating?

    • nightelves on 12/10/2024 - 15:38

      Are you saying you can do this and still qualify for the cashback?

      • Toxinor on 12/10/2024 - 18:34

        You could convert it to esim immediately after being tracked. As long as the physical sim card is activated.

        • nightelves on 12/10/2024 - 18:49

          Oh I’m wanting to see if there’s a way to bank the sim and still get the cashback.

    • trixieb on 12/10/2024 - 16:54

      Hi @BarryBargain88 I purchased a Boost SIM from one of these cashback offers a few months ago and checked out with no issues at all. Cashback is even approved. Have you seen this other current Boost offer?

      After 20-30 failed attempts, this time it went through. Looks like random orders are going through. Try your luck.
      I purchased via TCB app which didn't work previously multiple times.

      • fring on 12/10/2024 - 20:55

        Were you using the app on WiFi or mobile (3g/4g/5g)?

      Just purchased, a single attempt and cashback tracked.

      Did you use an email address that already has a Boost / JB / Telstra ID associated with it? Had trouble with that getting a JB sim previously. This time I used a new email alias.

      • fring on 13/10/2024 - 18:52

        Does the email used in the Boost purchase need to match the e-mail address associated with the Topcashback account to get the cashback?

    • neoleo on 12/10/2024 - 22:05

      Should already got tracking email confirmation and check it after login. I only login through Chrome mobile browser and never log out after finishing the transaction, just close the browser tab instead. Save the password in the browser as it is much faster for login rather than typing manually.

      @BarryBargain88 That poll is almost a year ago in Nov 2023 and has expired. Some voters that voted no in the poll may have been able to buy the Boost SIM card since then as per some of the comments in the poll and cashback posts in the last few months. It doesn't appear to be a permanent ban from Boost and some customers have been able to buy after a few months break from Boost.

      May I ask if you are only having issues with purchasing the Boost SIM via TopCashback? There is another similar offer from Cashrewards. Did you try with Cashrewards?: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/871090

          Last month I bought Boost Mobile monthly plan successfully. I don't need this yearly plan as I still have yearly plan from Vodafone. In my experience, Vodafone is better for me around Sydney City, in the workplace, and on the beach for example. Boost signal is not good inside Woolworths Metro Central Park Sydney for example, but Optus and Vodafone no problem and full signal with fast speed too.

    As an existing boost customer I can port using Telstra $2 (https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/prepaid-mobiles/fre…) and then instantly port back to new boost sim correct?

    • fring on 14/10/2024 - 23:04

      That worked for me last year. I had to get support from Boost online chat to help me port back as it got stuck somewhere along the process. They sorted it out pretty quickly after verifying my identity.

    • G-rig on 15/10/2024 - 06:05

      Would be more than $2, isn't there a minimum recharge cost as well (usually $10-12)?

      • fring on 15/10/2024 - 08:34

        You don't have to recharge. Just port your number over and ensure you can receive a call. Once you've confirmed that the number has been ported, port back to Boost.

        • G-rig on 15/10/2024 - 08:49

          You'd better check that. A lot of sim cards don't let you activate them without adding some kind of $/GB/charge when setting up.

          Anyway not even necessary when you get on the boost chat/call and get them to do it.

          • fring on 15/10/2024 - 10:07

            @G-rig: I did that last year. I ported to a $2 Telstra sim without recharging and then ported straight back to Boost. Whether or not we can still do that this year, I don't know.

            Yes, it would be better if you can get Boost support to do it without having to port out first, but not all Boost support personnel are willing to do that.

            • G-rig on 15/10/2024 - 10:09

              @fring: Oh right maybe amaysim and Vodafone different, can't activate without charging with something.

              Yes can't take a few goes on the chat, hit and miss.

      • 89tnp on 15/10/2024 - 20:33

        it says in the description:

        Recharge with your chosen recharge amount in future

        So I'm guessing doesn't need more than $2?
