So I can activate it the day before?No. Well you can, but it would be pointless. The 24 hour period begins from the minute you purchase the package.

Oh, certainly, 60k points for ~$400 (if the fourth payment is required), equating to 0.66c/p, is nothing to be sneezed at!
So safe to assume it’s a max of ~$400.I escalated the actual cost that would be required (i.e. $297 or $396) to the Australian complaints team. I was told in writing you need to pay for the 4th month. I'd be stunned if Optus credited the points on the last day of the 3rd month, thereby preventing a 4th payment.
Many of us found that month 1 is pro-rata (a term I use lightly as for whatever reason they don't seem to have charged me for it) from day of signup to billing date. I'm not sure how support calculated this if they didn't ask you the specific sign up date. I think (given my experience with customer support teams) that you are putting way too much stock in what they have said, I expect a lot of people will not need to pay for the 4th month, I got half a month's service for free due to my signup date so unless Optus are somehow discounting 15 odd days from the 3 month calculation I don't understand how that would require 4 months of payments to attain?I'd be stunned if Optus credited the points on the last day of the 3rd month, thereby preventing a 4th payment.

I guess peeps are waiting then to hear from the early adopters. Probably cutting it fine if the current cutoff is 5 Sep.Only if Optus credits the points before the 5th payment.
Yes, this is the most important part I think, that the T&Cs require you to remain connected until the points are awarded. This is the whole reason that we suspected a 4th month would be required however I hold out hope due to the above mention of the pro-rata period. Here's the specific T&C section dealing with this:Only if Optus credits the points before the 5th payment. I was also told, in writing (although that was on chat from some poor lacky on 100 pesos an hour) that you must stayed connected until the points are earned (if you want the points, that is).
Points are awarded to your account in a single instalment at the end of month 3 from your service activation date. Points are forfeited if you cancel or recontract from your Promo Plan during that period. Bonus Qantas Points may take up to 7 days from date of eligibility to appear in a members’ account.
The “forfeited if you cancel during that period” refers to the three months. Doesn’t mean you need to stay connected until they credit the points. I mean; what if they ended up taking a year to pay up?
Whether they credit the points prior to a possible 5th payment or not, I will be cancelling after payment 4. The terms say must hold for 3 months so that will be sufficient to get the points. It may take some following up and maybe a threat of lodging a complaint but the points will end up in my account.
Are you planning on avoiding the 4th month charge? If so, notwithstanding the possible pro rata scenario that 33kft raised, when exactly will you cancel in order to both avoid the charge and meet the three-month minimum?
Well, I just bit the bullet, as it will go some way to retaining Points Club next year.Has anyone had any luck in having multiple offers? I signed up early to the service on 13th July and I was already an Optus subscriber.
I am having this problem too. Checked my profile info on both Optus and Qantas accounts and key details match....Will try again in the morning.While signing up for this offer, I am getting an error message that Your details don't match Qantas records. Please check and try again. Is anyone else getting the same message or have found a way around it?
Thought I'd share my experience from this morning to close this one out.I am having this problem too. Checked my profile info on both Optus and Qantas accounts and key details match....Will try again in the morning.
