UPDATED: Looks like Catch Connect isn't shutting down on April 30 after all

Following the demise of Catch.com.au, Optus MVNO Catch Connect informed affiliate partners it's closing its operations at the end of April before retracting its statement.

UPDATE 2 (7 Feb): It looks like the email from the Catch Connect affiliate program was just poorly worded.

In a new email this morning, the Catch Connect Affiliate team confirmed that the "Catch Connect core business will continue to operate post-April 30th."

Here's the full text from the new email:

Hi Nick

A message was sent yesterday to all affiliates that Catch Connect was closing at the end of April 2025. We wanted to clarify that this refers to the current Catch Connect affiliate program on Commission Factory.

The Catch Connect core business will continue to operate post-April 30th. The Catch Connect affiliate program on Commission Factory will be closed on 30th April 2025.

If you have any queries please reach out to us.

Kind regards

Catch Connect Affiliate Team
