    Did anyone actually get the cashback from the last deal? Large cashbacks make me hesitant.

    • WatchNerd on 13/12/2024 - 07:19

      Mine tracked within minutes but nobody would have received the money yet as it's up to 120 days from the purchase date as mentioned in the description.

      And before all the questions start - there's no mention of needing to activate in the special terms. I'm activating mine in March.

      • Gokku on 13/12/2024 - 08:57

        @WatchNerd did you check with Optus? Im also planning to activate in march 2025. I know there is no condition to activate in 30 days, but Cashrewards is not confirming 100$ cashback is eligible if activated after 30 days,

        • WatchNerd on 13/12/2024 - 09:07

          Activating isn't mentioned in any way in the "special terms". In other words you don't need to activate to get the cashback.

          If you're worried about it take a screenshot.

        • melo4510 on 13/12/2024 - 10:09

            @melo4510: It’s not related to cashback, it’s to do with advertised inclusions.

                @BaarOzGain: Optus could shift the goal posts and halve the amount of data for all we know. Not that likely to happen, but all telcos do tweak their offers from time to time. They're simply saying "if you want what we are advertising, you must activate within 30 days or it might change to something else".

        • deftnick on 14/12/2024 - 09:13

          @Gokku I did contact Cashrewards after the last deal to confirm. This was the response from their Member Services team.

          "I have looked into the terms of this merchant and can confirm that there is no activation timeframe for OPTUS sims to be eligible for cashback."

          I probably wouldn't go past the 120 days, the timeframe for cashback to be awarded, but that's me. I need to activate next month anyway.

          Also, as others have mentioned Optus will allow activation after the 30 days, but it is the bonuses that you may miss out on if they are changed before then.

        I'm on Optus prepaid for one month, and it wasn't great at first but when I exclusively chose 4G on my phone for the SIM, the signal for a lot better and consistent.

    • nned2say on 13/12/2024 - 06:41

      How to claim refund from Optus? I ordered a SIM card from Optus in April and asked for refund. Optus staff kicked me around, providing me with different numbers and claiming they couldn’t help me themselves and I had to call that number. In the end, I contacted the credit card company to reverse the transaction.

      • nicolascage on 13/12/2024 - 07:18

        I needed a refund as well as I didn't use the correct cashback service. optus told me they'd cancel the order but the order still came. there was another optus rep that told me to refuse delivery and the refund process will kick off which it has. if you've already received your sim, you may need to go into the store.

        • nned2say on 13/12/2024 - 07:25

          I rejected the delivery as soon as it arrived.

      • Benzy on 13/12/2024 - 14:10

        I had the same issue. I order the prepaid SIM card, and call them to cancel in an hour time, they said they can't cancel and have to go call Optus, chat with them, visit the Optus store but count resolve at last just ask my credit card company for charge back.

  • mrsnake11 on 13/12/2024 - 06:46

    Keep your money and get boost instead. I gave up on optus coverage. Been using them for over 5 years and I'll always get calls disconnected or crappy coverage. Did so many workarounds and at some point accepted it as a feature of Australia with its large land area.

    Got boost some time ago and then never looked back. Optus is a waste same as Vodafone. They'll improve with time but your money is better used elsewhere

        Yep works fine for me in Sydney so I guess it depends on your location. Telstra reception is actually worse at my place.

    • lastkey on 13/12/2024 - 11:30
      +4

      To sum it up, all networks are shit depending on your location. Boost was so bad in my area from last few months (Northwest Sydeny) that I switched to Optus few months before my 12 Months expiry. Optus is working flawless here but there were other places where Optus has sucked equally bad. So now my criteria to select a network is that, I choose a network that works where I spend most of my time with the expectation that the same network wil be shity other places.

    • cephh on 13/12/2024 - 12:37

      shitting on how good a network is honestly weird to me, it may work better at different areas than others (but we shit on optus for the data breach)

  • sween64 on 13/12/2024 - 08:34

    If you’d like to try out the Optus network, FlexiRoam has an Australian eSIM that roams on Optus. Can sometimes get a 100% cashback deal.

      It is what happens when they get acquired by a big bank. Like cheddar (CBA). They always end up losing interest and it dies a slow and dreadful death.

  • kungfuman on 13/12/2024 - 08:44

    Just a reminder of the security leak of everyone's data is still something Optus did, and most likely the security issue isn't fixed either. If your silly enough to still stick with a company that could potentially leak your data again and have it bought and sold on the dark web then that's on you. I will never want to go through changing my license, passport and bank ever again because of this company.

    • Maestrok on 13/12/2024 - 09:15

      Sorry to tell you but you have to accept that every company can potentially leak your data. It's just the cost of living in a digital worlds now.

      Hopefully legislation and governance will improve - this will also mean that affected people are better compensated.

      • kungfuman on 13/12/2024 - 09:28

        small security leaks don't usually make news but big ones do Optus might has well just have posted there customer database on the web for everyone to see, thats how bad it was.

    • despavr on 13/12/2024 - 11:10

      If anything, Optus now would have been forced to invest so much in security it’s pretty ridiculous. So yes as a principle i agree with you. In terms of actual risks it’s probably way way lower than other companies.

    I purchased this from a previous deal (June) where the cashback didn’t track. Contacted cashrewards and they manually put it in. Cashback was due 25/10 and it still shows as pending. I’ve contacted customer service (in October) and they said it would take an additional 60-90 days for Optus to confirm the transaction.

  • huuuuugo on 13/12/2024 - 13:35

    I bought this some three weeks back and had a terrible experience creating an account, activating it, and with their support channels. Now I'm in the middle of asking for a refund. Would stay away from Optus in the future.

    Some of the more interesting stumbling blocks:
    - During the activation, I tried with three different forms of ID, and for each one of them they would tell me that I need to contact support…
    - Their support chat on mobile browser is half-broken. Some forms didn't load at all for me, but worked on my partner's phone (same browser and extensions).
    - They can not activate your SIM card without you first creating an account. The email confirmation for that took over 10 mins to arrive, at which point I got a different person in my support chat.
    - Self-activation of SIM card failed for me, because their records don't match with what I put in. Tried with a different email address, and it worked.
    - Got multiple errors during the signup and activation, like "There was an unexpected error", which, when I looked into the request/response details, turns out to be "account already exists".
    - Their in-app support gives you a new person every single time you answer one of their questions, and the new person never reads through the previous chat history, asking the same questions and making wrong assumptions (I got asked three times whether I paid something for the SIM card).

    • huey on 13/12/2024 - 14:59

        Like most cheap services (yes optus is considered a CHEAP service), If you don't have any issues, great, but if you do and even if its not your fault or out of your control, you're in for a crappy ride.

        Ported from Telstra 4 weeks ago, of those weeks had issue with not able to receive SMS.

        Called Optus at least 8-10 times, all very definitive overseas call center. All horrible horrible waste of time, effort and brain cells just to get through to them. they make you wait 40minutes each time. Some just hang up after you go through all the verification and disconnect you. Some will ask verify again and then wait, then hang up. or some will say, we will put you through to someone or email you back…

        Went through Optus APP, better but following up with issues will not resolve until you keep messaging, they have 8 cases opened for me each 4 days they say it will be resolved after 24-48 hours. None of these cases resolved.

        Went into OPTUS shop, better service slightly but did not resolve, they tried, sim swapping etc but ultimately, sent me back to technical support on the phone.

        At the end, it was some disconnect between telstra and optus in the SMS connection. No notification when it started to work, as I test daily, I did not want to lose my number.

        When I started receiving SMS, ported out of optus as soon as I humanly possibly could.
        Even discount Sim not worth this much hassle.
