Did you know that Optus offers eGift Cards with select prepaid recharges? It’s an awesome perk that we offer when you activate a $40 and $50 Flex Plus prepaid plans with AutoRecharge, making you eligible for a $5 or $10 eGift Card from your second recharge.

Getting an eGift Card every recharge (from your second recharge) is just another way that we’re making our prepaid plans even better for our customers. When you claim your eGift Card, you'll be able to choose from a range of popular participating brands.

We’re talking all about the bonus eGift Card perk in this article, including how to claim it and where you can spend it. Let’s get started.

How do I get a bonus eGift Card with an Optus prepaid SIM?

When you activate a $40 or $50 Flex Plus plan with AutoRecharge, you could be eligible for an eGift Card every recharge from your second recharge.

Simply set up AutoRecharge when you activate, keep it switched on, and after your next successful AutoRecharge you'll receive a link to claim your eGift Card. You'll need to redeem your code within 28 days, the message will include the expiry date. You'll be able to choose from a range of popular participating retailers, with your eGift Card sent straight to your email and mobile.

You'll remain eligible to receive an eGift Card on every recharge, from your second recharge, as long as you keep AutoRecharge enabled on the same $40 or $50 Flex Plus plan.

How do I receive an eGift Card?

It’s simple. Firstly, activate your $40 or $50 Flex Plus prepaid plan, and enable AutoRecharge. You need to remain on that plan and keep AutoRecharge enabled to remain eligible for the eGift Card.

Then, complete your next recharge on the $40 or $50 plan that you originally signed up for. After this, you’ll need to claim your eGift Card within 28 days. You'll receive a message with a claim link and code. Use the link to choose your eGift Card.

After you've claimed it, your chosen eGift Card will be sent via SMS to your mobile and to the email on your account.

What shops does the eGift Card work at?

You can use your eGift Card with a range of eligible participating retailers, including a variety of brands. Just keep in mind that the redemption process will be different from retailer to retailer – more on that here.

Should I sign up for an Optus prepaid plan to get an eGift Card?

We’re keen on providing Aussies with tremendous value on their phone plans, and an eGift Card every recharge from your second recharge on a $40 and $50 Flex Plus prepaid plan is a great way of saving at your favourite retailers.
