If you thought this was big, how about a huge 4.0% to go with the Good Guys 20% promo? In effect, you're getting 24% off your purchases, as the cashback applies to the pre-discounted amount. The offer applies to any purchase made via eBay Australia, not just Good Guys.

I'm stoked to say I was able to contact the founder & MD of CashRewards Andrew Clarke, who is one of the nicest people imaginable. I explained how we need a ripper deal to tie in with the Good Guys offer, and after a late night, we agreed on 4.0%.

Note the offer goes live at 9:00am AEDT, and the link will be updated then. Due to the overwhelming success of the deal, CashRewards has agreed to extend the offer until 11:59pm Monday Oct 19. Expiry is 11:59pm Wednesday Oct 14. Have a great day and happy shopping :)

MOD NOTE: If you are planning to post a deal mentioning this additional cashback, please state the price before any cashback is applied in the title.

      You miss the last step: Hope for the best.

      If they track your purchase correctly, you will receive a confirmation email in a few days and your CR account should have a pending amount.

      If they fails to track, you have to go through all the trouble to contact CR.

      • geoffs87 on 13/10/2015 - 09:39

        Is it tricky?

        • theguyrules on 13/10/2015 - 09:53

          It's a bit hit and miss.
          The only time I've ever used cashback was for buying an xbox one from the microsoft store. Got the cashback over a year later!
          Still, it did come, after I'd lost hope.

      • teacherer on 16/10/2015 - 19:44

        I purchased this arvo
        But i had adblock enabled and it was on my watch list which i hear is bad

        I also tried to proceed via click and collect and it threw me backward cos they didnt have stock

        I bet it didnt track, cr*p

        • teacherer on 19/10/2015 - 12:37

          I purchased on friday the 16/10/15 through the good guys
          Got the email that they had tracked it and my cashback was coming this morning on monday 19/10/15
          One business day, happy as!

          Got a galaxy s6 from $888 to $670 (although they were on sale at dicksmith for $750, so cashback $720
          A saving nonetheless

      You got it!

      Go to Cahsrewards and click the eBay store or any of the 700 retailer logos and then shop as normal on the store's normal website.

      There are a few precautions to make sure the tracking is not interrupted and you can read about those precautions on any of the store pages on Cashrewards and there are also lots of helpful comments in this post.

      After you have made a purchase, you should then receive an email to say your sale has been recorded.

      You can expect to get the email anytime from a few minutes after your purchase to 7 days later, depending on the store.

      With eBay it takes around 2- 3 days normally to receive the email and for the rewards to appear in your account.

      It is then up to the store to approve the sale. eBay takes around 45 - 55 days max to approve sales at which point you can then request transfer to your bank account.

      Any further queries let me know.

      Andrew

      • teacherer on 19/10/2015 - 12:38

    • janeymac on 18/10/2015 - 12:16

      Yes, that's right. You also need to turn off ad-blocking for it to work. I usually log onto ebay and add everything I want to the cart, first. Then I log onto cashrewards, click on ebay and when I get into ebay, I just pay straight away. This has always worked for me.

    Good one bro

  • Moderatormoocher on 13/10/2015 - 09:44

    See updated description:

    If you are planning to post a deal mentioning this additional cashback, please do not include the cashback in price in the deal title. The price should be the purchase price before cashback. Then mention the additional cashback in the body of the deal, taking 4% off the purchase price AFTER other discounts have been applied.

    So if you are posting a $100 item for the Good Guys eBay, the price in the title should be $80 including the 20% discount code. Then in the description you can mention that cashback takes a further 4% off $80 (not $100).

    • Moderatormoocher on 13/10/2015 - 09:53

      Description updated again. I've been advised that it's possible that the cashback may be on the full price of the item.

      If you are planning to post a deal mentioning this additional cashback, please state the price before any cashback is applied in the title.

    • CandyMan on 13/10/2015 - 09:54

      Im confused. OP states the 4% is off the pre discounted amount.

      In effect, you're getting a cool 24% off your purchases, as the cashback applies to the pre-discounted amount.

      • Roary on 13/10/2015 - 15:02

        Yes thats not quite correct.

        The 4% is only after the discount. In effect you get 23.2%

    • unco on 13/10/2015 - 09:55
      +2

      It was my understanding that the cashback takes a further 4% off the $100 price.

      I purchased a $1357 fridge and used the 20% eBay code last time to bring it down to $1085.60, then cashrewards calculated 2.5% of $1357 to give me a cashback of $33.92.

      Edit: Typed too slow. Already amended above.

    • samlor on 13/10/2015 - 09:56

      Gotcha but doesn't that contradict the post's "…cashback applies to the pre-discounted amount."?

      Sometimes it tracks your session okay, sometimes it doesn't.

      I normally launch a new IE session and quickly buy whatever I wanted. I seem to get it everytime okay. Previously, I use to just use my existing browser sessions and it was 50/50 if tracked or not.

      • Jenny Jingle on 13/10/2015 - 10:39

        OK, so I use Chrome and it would seem my best best would be to use incognito.

          it uses cookies, so you cant use incognito mode or block them.

          @darkage: you can use incognito mode without issues. Chrome's incognito mode stores cookies until the session is ended and then deletes them.

          So as long as you go incognito, follow the store link though cash rewards and finalised your purchase cashback should be applied

    Hmmm… Dyson DC45.. Thoughts people? Would love the V6 but don't have the $ for it as I already have a Dyson corded vac. Just want something that's got good suction and reasonable price.
    FFS, just noticed it's out of stock.. :(

    • jrad1337 on 13/10/2015 - 14:06

      I have a DC45 (animal w\ mini power head + longer power head) and it does the job for my small 2bdr unit. I run it in turbo the whole time and I still have some juice left over.
      My unit has economy short pile carpet. Not sure how it would go with thicker and longer pile style carpets as the head doesn't seem to have a great deal of torque and might bind easily

      The only thing I dislike is the recharge time which is around 4-5hrs from dead flat.

      It's my first cordless vacuum, got it when I first moved in a year ago and it continually picks up dirt every week.

      Don't trick people and make your deal appear better than it actually is.

      @swiggity swag - Why would I try to trick anyone. Maybe if I explain, you'll see your comment is unwarranted.

      • You buy something from Good Guys for $100
      • Take 20% off full price with GG's deal ($20)
      • Take 4% off full price with this deal ($4)

      So your $100 purchase, in effect, actually cost you $76 ($100 less $20 less $4), or exactly 24% off.

      • Maki on 13/10/2015 - 11:32

        I think he calculated the 4% based on the discounted price instead of the full price which might be true. Having said that, 23.2% is very good :)

        • tightarse on 13/10/2015 - 11:35
          +1

          I have it confirmed from the CashRewards rep that the cashback is based on the pre-discounted price :)

        • zzyss on 13/10/2015 - 12:05
          +1

          The cashback is calculated on the eBay side at the point of clicking "Add to cart" (or "Buy now") on the price of the item. The discount isn't applied until the checkout/Paypal side. So it is definitely calculated on the full price, and not the discounted price.

      I was so tempted too, thinking the motorhead will be more effective. But I've just read some reviews which says that the motorhead is powered by the v6 itself and so the battery lasts shorter than the other v6 models without the motorised head. Conflicted now because the battery doesn't last long as it is.

          if item is requested for warranty, seller have to pay for return post (not DOA claims)

          just to name a few

        • EnALup on 13/10/2015 - 14:18

          @Aceboy884: Its not always the case. Like I bought from last sale from Dick Smith and even after 2 weeks there is no sign of the item. Dick sent me a courier booking tracking no. one week ago, but it is still sitting like that. There are few good sellers who get burnt with bad buyers, but there are sellers who have crap services and should not be in online sales business. Smaller businesses like ShoppingExpress have quite prompt shipping and respond back as well.
          I would advise to pick up items for big stores.

      It can take a couple of days for the email notification to come through unfortunately, we are working with our stores to improve their reporting and hope to be able to offer real time notification for the majority of our stores asap.

        received but seems like the cashback remains at around 2.5% , rather than 4%.

        Same question as others

          Andrew here from Cashrewards, we have had a technical issue due to a USA time zone Issue with our system. If you got 2.5% in your tracking receipt and you bought during the 4% period this will be corrected in your account shortly. Apologies for the inconvenience. Sorry about this but eBay reports in US time and there was a mismatch which we are currently rectifying.
