Cashrewards Launches its Mobile App - Receive $2 Free (Download, Login, Click - No Purchase Required)

14870

We're pleased today to announce the official release of the Cashrewards Mobile App for iOS & Android. It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here. The dev team has spent months on its development, integration and testing and we couldn't think of a better place to launch it than right here on OzBargain. All we ask in return is some honest feedback via the comments in this post. Good, bad, indifferent - we want to know. It will help make it an even better product. There will be lots of new features added in future releases including in-store offers, geo-targeting, and app-to-app tracking. Facebook login is currently unavailable but will be included in an upcoming release in December. Offer ends 11:59PM AEDT Nov 16. Thanks for the ongoing support. Enjoy :)

To receive the $2 bonus, you must:

(1) Download the Cashrewards App via the main link in this post.
(2) Log in with your Cashrewards credentials (Facebook login disabled).
(3) Click 'Shop Now' from any store (your acct will be credited within 7 days of the click).

The $2 bonus will appear in your Cashrewards account as approved within 7 days of clicking 'Shop Now' from any store in the App. The $2 bonus is not stackable with any other promos, including TV ads, refer-a-friend, etc (can't be use to tip over the $10 limit for withdrawal). If you already have the app installed, a new click from the time of this post will qualify for the $2 bonus. The $2 bonus is restricted to one payment per Cashrewards account.

Finally, don't forget to RSVP for the OzBargain/Cashrewards co-sponsored meetup in Chatswood via this link.

    • Looks like a sign up bonus if you're new? Or perhaps a referral?

      • I think it's a referral.

    • Also, strangely I was only prompted for push notifications the second time I logged it?

      • That’s correct. We decided for now to make the opt-in notification feature available after a certain period of time or inactivity. May be changed to immediate with future releases.

  • Thanks TA! Nice and clean interface. Love it

    Getting a 403 forbidden when tapping shop now. What am I doing wrong? Will it track?

    • +2

      Same.. 403 Forbidden on all pages even when checking Account Settings, tried everything, on iOS.

      • Same

  • +6

    In the android app there were a couple of times where it kept the keyboard open when ideally it should have closed it (e.g. clicking on a store in the search results). Other than that, all good.

  • -1

    Do you have to buy?
    I downloaded the app, clicked shop offer (opened up offer page) then 'shop now' opened a new page … closed and no $2 cash

    • +3

      As written up there
      The $2 bonus will appear in your Cashrewards account as approved within 7 days of clicking 'Shop Now' from any store in the App

      • That was embarrassing sigh

  • +1

    Oh cool, I can finally have Chicken and Cheese in the lunch.

  • +1

    Great app.

    Keyboard open as Nickj commented above.

    Also after you click through to a store there is wasted screen real estate with the top bar that has the shop name in it, and the bottom navigation bar too. Both should disappear when you scroll down, like in a browser. More space to view the shops content.

    Finally referral bonuses seem to not have an icon or label in the rewards history.

  • Very nice, smooth and easy to use app.
    However I would appreciate a jump to your favourite browser option.

    Imma neg all the people who kept asking where the $2… read what TA have put in the description

    Thanks TA!

  • -4

    Where can I find 2 credit? I follow above instruction, check my click history and balance, $2 is nowhere yo be found..

    • +1

      It's obvious you haven't read the OP, nor any of the comments.

  • Thanks TA, 2 bucks is 2 bucks

    • You have to press it harder. Soft presses don't work in this app.

    • Calm down people. One neg isn't going to overshadow the sheer amount of +'s. Its a good deal, but this problem is yet to be addressed. And judging by the + votes of my comment, others are experiencing the same thing!

      • -1

        Which +ve votes?

      • +3

        How about you give the rep a decent amount of time to look at your issue and respond? You might not have noticed but this is a very popular deal and I bet he's been flooded with questions.

    • +2

      Why are you being negged for commenting this issue?? I have the exact same problem. Does not load any store webpage in the app browser, it just loads up the CR website. iPhone 7.

  • +1

    For some reason I downloaded the app last week (just randomly typed it in on the play store) and was very happy with how everything was set out. Tracking also worked without any trouble which I usually get if I use my desktop! Will be using the app from now on. Good work TA!

  • +3

    It's a nice looking app, but I haven't seen any benefit over just using Chrome - I click a store and it takes me there and tracks the sale.

    I can see that CR is trying to keep the customer within the CR environment, but for me personally, that's a negative as I don't want to browse and login to websites inside an app. It's also a negative because when I'm bargain hunting, CR is only one of a number of bargain-hunting tools, so it is silly for me to stay within a CR environment. This is more a Kogan/Catch play, where customers are reeled in and think they are getting great deals (which is often not be true), but don't look elsewhere. Are you aiming this at true bargain-hunters, or the Kogan/Catch type audience?

    I might be the exception, but if I can use Chrome for stuff then I will, rather than clogging my phone up with apps that I forget to use.

    Maybe later functionality will create a benefit (or feel free to correct me if I've missed something!); I'll be interested to see.

    • +4

      Controlling the environment also allows TA & crew to ensure you are not trying to purchase with adblock on, accidentally clicking to other pages, going to shopping comparison sites etc. This will ultimately ensure more successful tracking rate and happier customers.

      • This.

        Although I have no issues if I just use explorer with no add-ons, clear history first and re-open explorer. And that's probably what I'll keep doing. Free $2 though.

  • +7

    Does anyone actually read the OP.

    • +10

      Where's my $2 I literally clicked on "Shop Now" 6 seconds ago on my iPhone and it still hasn't shown up!! I've been refreshing for the past 5 minutes. Must be a problem with Cashrewards. I'm going to fire a PM at TA on 30 second intervals until my problem is fixed.

      • +3

        Username checks out!

      • +3

        I'm going to fire a PM at TA on 30 second intervals and neg the deal until my problem is fixed

        FTFY

  • +2

    The app doesn’t work for me. When I click on Shop Now, it takes me back to the merchant page on cash rewards. Clicking Shop Now again gives me an error message that the page is no longer available 😑

    Edit: Works now 😎

    • +3

      I'm getting the same behaviour. Clicking Shop Now just opens the browser to the Cashrewards front page.

      • +1

        Same here - been going on for about 30 minutes now.

      • +1

        Same for me - from Apple Music offer in app I click on shop now, goes to the front CR homepage.
        Using Android app.

        • Quite a few users have reported this issue, and this is exactly the type of feedback we’re chasing. Dev is all over it. Can you please advise your handset model and software version. Thank you.

    • +1

      How did U fix? Having the same issue

      • +1

        I think it may only happening for certain stores. Try randomly clicking stores and see if it works.

        • +1

          I've tried Lowes, Adairs, Charles Tyrwhitt, Amazon, eBay, Kathamandu, Bonds, and a few others… no dice

  • +2

    Couple of points. This looks like a good/better way of making 100% sure that the purchase is validated on mobile. Are there any plans for an iPad version? I do a lot of online shopping on an iPad because it's much nicer for browsing.

    • Not in the immediate future. There’s obviously no reason you can’t install this onto an iPad and use the x2 option to zoom in. Obviously not as good as a dedicated iPad version, but usable nonetheless.

    • Agree re request for iPad version. Or even just option for landscape mode in current app would make a huge difference for tablet shoppers

  • +4

    Hi OP, when I click "Shop Now" on Charles Tyrwhitt it direct me to Charles Keith website.

    • Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

    • Lol

  • cheers TA!

  • +1

    Edit: Don't worry. I'm an idiot.

  • was hoping to take the $2 to maccas for a cheap burger meal.

    7 day wait. geez.

  • -4

    TA YOU SHOULD NOT WRITE THIS:

    (3) Click 'Shop Now' from any store (generates a tag to credit your acct $2).

    EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR $2 SOMEWHERE WHEN WE CLICK ON SHOP NOW.

    Actually, $2 will appear nowhere and we have no clue if you succeed or not to get $2. Just click shop now and THINK that you already got it

    Better, while uve spent months for this app, it's not that hard to insert a pop up saying that "youve been rewarded 2$ (which will appear on your account in several days) by installing the app.

    • EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR $2 SOMEWHERE WHEN WE CLICK ON SHOP NOW.

      WHICH PART OF: MONEY WILL BE IN YOUR ACCOUNT WITHIN 7 DAYS, DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

    Thanks TA!

    Is there a facility to view my favourite (stores) in the iOS app?
    I can't seem to find it.

    • +1

      Second issue: if I click 'categories' and then type 'ebay' to search, i see all 3 ebay stores: Australia, USA, UK.
      However if I browse categories to 'department stores', I see 2 ebays, but I can't tell which countries they belong to.

  • +1

    Where do I find my favourites in iOS?

    Edit: beaten by 22 seconds lol

  • +1

    Is there any chance of getting this in the US app store?

    • -1

      Do you also need it in Azerbaijani?

      You do know you can literally just switch your App Store, it even prompts you to change if the apps available there..

    Thanks TA

    Probably paid for about 15 sign-up bonuses that CR hasn't paid out and on even though there is receipts, a click record and was disputed with the CW team but was rejected because there was no tracking on a $30 Cashback. Always the $100+ transactions that don't get tracked, what a coincidence.

    Dodgy as always good ol' CashRewards!

    • +1

      Yeah I had the same, Expedia and hundreds of dollars had issues with pricepal also

      • Is pricepal even alive? I never managed to get my money out of them despite trying.

    • +11

      My experience is the complete opposite. I've had hundreds of transactions go through with CR and never missed one. They've always been helpful and never done anything dodgy in my experience.

      • -8

        I'm sure you have, I am sure many people have as well… But my experience is opposite to yours, and there is lots of us all over these threads that state the same thing. Glad you're getting what you're entitled to though! :)

    • +1

      Strange, I have proof that $100+ transactions always track for me..

  • Thanks TA

  • Hi TA

    Downloaded the app, on Android (Note 9) when submitting a claim you are unable to attach a file, the icon is there however when pressing on it doesn't launch anything to attach the file.

    • +1

      Thanks for the feedback. This is so valuable. I'm obviously not going to respond to every comment, but please know that the dev team is all over this post reading the comments. Everything is being taken on board. Thank you!

      • You only like him because of his name.

        • +1

          And you because of your ears :)

          • @tightarse: I'd let you nibble my lobes.

            No tongue though, I don't do tongue.

            Tongue is too personal and I always ended up getting hurt.

  • -2

    I signed in and don't see the credit at all, when does it credit to the account?

    • Read the description or the comments above…. it'll be credited in 7 days.

      • Sorry I missed that..

  • Thanks finally an app, although I haven't had any issues with tracking on mobile sites this will make it easier.

  • "403 Forbidden" when I clicked on the main link

  • Just wondering TA, can we browse in Safari in a different tab while having CR app open after pressing Shop Now? Or do we have to close the store and click Shop Now again?

    • Hi Akya. I'm not sure I full understand your question, so apologies in advance. But if you're asking what I think you are, you need to stay in the App and click through to the store via Show Now and complete your purchase within the native app. Not in Safari. I hope this helps :)

      • +1

        He might be talking about multitasking.

        Not sure if that interferes with tracking. I've always avoided it as I thought it might

  • +3

    Thanks TA.

  • I like the transition animations and it looks huge easy to navigate.

    I'll probably still stick to chrome as it had never failed to track anything, and all my user credentials are stored in my browser so it will be a pain in the ass relogging in everywhere.

  • woot!

  • Yiiiewww!

  • Has anyone who bought their Note9 through samsung website received their cashback yet ?

  • Good to see android app was kept below 17mb download.

    The free $2 puts my balance over $5. I can now cash out after about 18 months of use. Yay. It takes a long time to build a balance with 1% of ebay purchases.

    • How have you not bought at least one item at amazon with 10% cashback? :p

  • Hi guys i’ve just signed up to ozbargains and cashrewards and have a question as i’m new to both. If i want to buy something from “rebel sport” and i have money in my rewards balance how do i use the rewards balance to get something taken off the total from rebel sport? I hope that made sense, thanks.

    • You can only cash out to bank Ac or PayPal

      • Hi TB, was this reply to me?

        • Hi TB, was this reply to me?

          Yes. You cannot use your cashrewards balance to purchase an item directly. You need to withdraw your cashrewards balance to either your bank account or PayPal account.

          • @[Deactivated]: Ok i think i understand now. My last question is i signed into the CR app clicked on shop offer on “Lowes” then clicked on the orange and white shop now button and then it took me to the Lowes website. Does that mean in 1 to 7 days i’ll be rewarded with $2 into my rewards balance? Thanks.

            • @Golly1153: Yes

              Plus another potential $10*

              *To be eligible for the welcome bonus you must be a NEW member and have made an individual qualifying transaction of $20 or more through CASHREWARDS within 30 days of opening your new member account

              • @[Deactivated]: Plus another potential $10*

                The $2 bonus is not stackable with any other promos, including TV ads, refer-a-friend, etc (can't be use to tip over the $10 limit for withdrawal).

              • @[Deactivated]: Understood. How exactly do i make an individual qualifying transaction of $20 through CASHREWARDS? Sorry to be a pain.

    I was a beta tester and now just updated to the real program.

  • +7

    Can the app name be changed from "CASHREWRARDS" to "Cashrewards" ? It's like shouting at me!!

    Android user

    • FREE MONEY

    • CASHREWRARDS

      Agree. But mine says CASHREWARDS. You must be the chosen one.

      Out of my 90+ apps this is the only app named in Capitals unless an acronym is used eg BOM. Full title would also probably fit if it was in lower case. Upper case title is cut off on my setup.
