Hi all. We exclusively launched Amazon Australia on May 1 and were the first cashback site invited to do so globally. We never envisaged we'd have an issue processing transactions, but that became apparent after two weeks as there were technical issues with the data reported to us. We sent out emails to all affected members and put banners on site requesting invoices for us to process as fast as we could. We immediately approved the first batch at a higher rate than advertised.

We were quite literally smashed (over 8,000 claims) to the point we had to bring in temporary staff to handle the overload. What's really disappointing is reading comments berating the process. But think about it - what would the alternative have been for the past 10 weeks - no cashback for anyone! We made the process as simple as possible and have done everything to keep our members informed & happy. But we move on. If you're yet to send us your post-shipping PDF invoice for a purchase made prior to July 13, please do so at [email protected] and the team will take care of it for you.

From this past Friday (July 13), I'm happy to say we're now on auto pilot for Amazon Australia tracking. No more invoices - just BAU as with other merchants. We've lifted the cashback rate to 7.5% (up from 5%) across the board for all purchases which should be a nice bonus during Amazon Australia's Prime event. Thanks again for your ongoing support of Cashrewards and please know I'm always here to help. Enjoy :)

A small education piece:

Please always ensure your last click before purchase is from Cashrewards. Simply click Shop Now and complete your shopping without leaving the Amazon Australia site. A lot of untracked claims come from the fact members have other tabs open and/or are using Google or comparison sites to review their product/s before purchase. All cashback/rewards sites work off a simple principle - last click. The winning affiliate is always the one that receives the last click. Also turn off any AdBlock/uBlock/Ghostery as well as Safari (mobile and/or desktop) Cross-Site Tracking. Finally, you must return and click through from Cashrewards to Amazon Australia every time you make a new transaction/purchase.

          As I said, what was the alternative? Not sure how much more transparent you’d like me to be, but sending in an invoice in return for 5% back on anything was a very small price to pay I’d suggest. Then again, each to their own.

          Do you think they would have launched if they had known they'd run into severe technical issues like this? Nope, that just costs them time, money and hate from the community. Shit happens. Their way of handling it is loads better than other companies who would shove it under the rug and say "good luck".

          @Clear:

          Or could have just removed the offer in the interim, which would lead to more complaints.

          Mistakes happen, they fixed the issue and hired temp staff to clear backlog.

          Can't ask for more.

          Not fair to attack this deal with a neg when they went to 8% AFTER this deal was posted. You may as well look up historical deals for SSDs and neg them too. Since current prices are better now than then.

        • [Deactivated] on 16/07/2018 - 12:59

          @tightarse:

          I didnt neg them. When you increased the rewards to 7.5% shopback promptly matched this as far as I'm aware.

          Mods If it's not appropriate to use a neg in this situation feel free to revoke my vote.

          @Clear:

          People arent still acting on those old SSD deals.

          People have a choice between shopback and cashrewards and I think its largely driven by the % rate avaliable.

          I think OP should at least acknowledge that this isnt the best deal avaliable at the moment.

        • Clear on 16/07/2018 - 13:06

          @philmurray91: Big difference between asking the rep to acknowledge that it isn't the best deal available anymore and negging the deal.

        • Robc on 16/07/2018 - 17:18

          @Clear:

          Is that right? I thought a neg was valid if you can show a better deal for the same item?

          Pretty clear here…

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines

          I've signed up for CR, and my credit 9s slowly growing. If it's easy to do, I'll stick with it, but shop back does some great deals too.

        • Clear on 16/07/2018 - 17:36
