At the time of writing, there weren’t any extra fees to join Telstra Plus, and the only requirements are that you’re over 18 and have an eligible Telstra business or personal account. Note that only the Telstra account holder can redeem rewards. Outside of being a Telstra customer, you’ll need to use your Telstra ID username and Telstra ID password to access Telstra Plus. If you’ve lost access to either, retrieve your Telstra ID username here or reset your Telstra ID password here. You shouldn’t have to wait more than 10 business days for eligible money spent with Telstra to be converted into corresponding Telstra Points, but Telstra notes it typically takes between two and four business days. Bonus points, though, may take up to two weeks to appear in your balance. Note that points expire three years from the date they were originally earned. You can see how many points you have by signing in to Telstra Plus or by using the My Telstra mobile app. Any eligible Telstra customer who signs up for Telstra Plus will receive entry-level Member status, but there are also Silver and Gold tiers. Here’s how the tiers break down:
Member: under $1,499.99 annual eligible account spend. Silver: between $1,500 and $2,999.99 annual eligible account spend. Gold: $3,000 or more annual eligible account spend.
You’ll attain and keep your current Telstra Plus tier for a membership year. But if you spend below during a membership year, you’ll be dropped to Silver or Member at the start of the following membership year. Silver tier Telstra Plus members get a 25% discount for selected content on Telstra box office, plus 30% off a Telstra TV streaming device. Gold tier Telstra Plus members get a free Telstra TV streaming device and 50% off selected Telstra box office content, plus VIP service within the My Telstra app. There are regular limited-time Telstra Plus offers, which may include bonus points, bonus credit, device protection or partner offers. Telstra Plus was offering 5,000 bonus Telstra Plus points when you activate your Telstra One Number and add it to your compatible smartwatch and mobile plan for $5 per month as well as bonus point offers for spending with Huddle and Booking.com partners. Much like a frequent-flyer rewards store, the Telstra Plus rewards store has a range of tech items separated into the following categories:
Mobiles and plans Watches and wearables Technology and IoT devices Headphones and speakers Gaming Home office and internet Cases and protection iPads and tablets
Items on the Telstra Plus rewards store can either be paid for entirely with points or a split payment of points and money. Note that for more expensive items, there’s a minimum points requirement to unlock a discount. The idea is that Telstra Plus shoppers have the benefit of more options for using points, while Telstra Plus small and medium businesses have a way to boost their online presence and reward customers. For more information, check out the Telstra Plus Market benefits page.
