Telco cashback in Australia — what to expect
Telco cashback typically applies to new sign-ups for SIM-only plans, NBN broadband, mobile contracts, mobile broadband and prepaid recharges. Sign-up cashback can be substantial — often AUD 50-150 for a new NBN connection or AUD 30-80 for a SIM-only plan — but Pending periods are long because telcos wait until after the contract cooling-off period closes. Existing-customer cashback (for renewals or plan changes) is generally not paid.
How to maximise telco cashback
The biggest gains come from switching providers when your existing contract ends — port your number across to a new telco through Kick Cashback to capture the new-customer cashback. Compare across Belong, More, Optus, Vodafone, TPG, Aussie Broadband and Superloop because cashback amounts vary materially even when the underlying plans are similar. For mobile, SIM-only sign-ups typically pay higher cashback than handset-bundle plans because the telco pays the partner network from the higher SIM-only margin.
Cashback timing on telco orders
Telcos typically wait 60-120 days after sign-up to confirm cashback, ensuring the customer has stayed beyond the cooling-off and minimum-term thresholds. NBN cashback often confirms 90 days after the connection date. Mobile cashback often confirms 60 days after activation. Once Available, claim any amount to your Australian bank account in 1-3 business days.
What's typically excluded
Plan upgrades or changes for existing customers are usually excluded — cashback is paid only on genuine new connections. Cancelled contracts within the cooling-off period are reversed. Hardware-only purchases (phones, modems) bought outside of a plan are usually excluded. The store page in your Kick portal lists each telco's specific eligibility rules before you click through.

Stores in the Telecommunications Cashback category
We are a first-party cashback platform — we work directly with retailers rather than reselling another company's network. Our team negotiates cashback rates, manages partner relationships, and processes payments in-house. According to industry data published by IAB Australia, partner and cashback marketing represented over $1 billion in tracked Australian retail sales in 2024 (source: IAB Australia Online Advertising Expenditure Report). Kick Cashback is part of this growing sector and is committed to passing the majority of retailer commissions back to shoppers as cashback.
Our editorial team draws on direct experience working with major Australian retailers and global partner networks. We publish detailed cashback information, retailer terms, and shopping guides based on first-hand knowledge of how cashback tracking, attribution, and payments work. Where industry standards or regulatory guidance applies — such as the Australian Consumer Law administered by the ACCC, or the Privacy Act 1988 administered by the OAIC — we cite the relevant source so readers can verify our claims.
