  With cash back sites , your kind off taking a gamble. If it doesn't track or retailer rejects the cash back then your pretty much screwed . If not for the ridiculously high postage costs, I'd give it a go as I wouldn't be loosing much if cashback does not track

  I recently got rejected Sony cash back of $40 from price pal even though I did everything by the book.

    Nice to see a company other than CR get negative feedback ;) (not pointing fingers at you EC just in general)

    The bigger cashback sites like Topcashback and Ebates are generally pretty good.

    I keep a clean browser just for this purpose and read carefully any exclusions - but if they are an unethical company maybe they will screw you anyway. Not sure where sony fits in this picture.

    Also, when you deal with a big company like ebay (usually ok) - cashback sites often let you know they will not accept inquiries about missing cashback.

    Personally, I have received Ebates cashback from Eastbay before - my memory is hazy but I think it might have even included the shipping amount.

      I used a clean browser , no ad block and no coupon code

      It still got rejected so.

      Not sure where sony fits in this picture.

      just pointing out that don't count any saving from your purchase via cashback until you actually receive it .

      YMMV

        Yup - comes down to the merchant you choose and what they choose to honour. Can't speak for sony as never tried with them.

        As a comparison - with this deal it'd be (USD figures):

        $120 purchase + $40 shipping = $160
        -$20 for the code = $140

        • 15% cashback of $21 or $15 (depending if shipping is included)
        • $10 ebates sign up

        Gives you $120 USD of goods for either $109 USD or $115 USD shipped.

        @gringo:
        At current 0.73 exchange rate
        $109 USD = $145 AUD
        $115 USD = $157 AUD

        So Effectively you will be buying $160 USD and paying $160~AUD 1-1 exchange rate.

    I got my Sony cash back rejected too
    $40 transaction was recorded. Looked back into my account and it says $6 transaction recorded. 9 cents payout.

    Seems like pricepal have the ability to alter numbers…. Probably won't use them again.
    Contacted them on Facebook. "Seen" was the response I got
