Hi OzB family. Andrew from Cashrewards here. I'm proud to say I've personally negotiated with Apple global heads for an incredible 7% cashback on almost everything via the Apple online Store.

It’s a once in a blue moon offer from Apple. For once TA took a back seat on this one!

Only exclusions are New AirPods, Bose, Gift Cards, Gift Wrap, iTunes, Shipping, and Apple Developer Programs.

All purchases from Apple Store for Education (https://www.cashrewards.com.au/apple-store-for-education) are also included in this promotion.

Also, please note that tracking for Apple takes up to 48 hours to hit your account. Ensure your last click before purchasing from the Apple Store is from Cashrewards.

Make the most of it, as you're unlikely to see this sort of rate again for Apple. Increase ends 11:59pm AEST Friday June 21. All the best.

Referral Links

Referral: random (4453)

$10 for referee and $10 for referrer, after referee makes $20 purchase within 14 days.

      You don’t get education discounts on everything. Usually only iPads, and Macs

        Thank you

    • 8anddrank on 20/06/2019 - 20:33

      maybe check the top left corner of the webpage - once you have logged in to the education store it seems it keeps bringing you back them via cookie and you have to "exit" to see normal pricing.

    I would never recommend using Cashrewards to shop the Apple site. I did when I purchased an expensive item, it tracked with no issues but when it reached the due date it was “declined”. I didn’t use any coupon code, didn’t return my item, followed all the rules 100% and it was declined. Cashrewards wouldn’t help out at all and simply said that Apple won’t pay, so neither will we. I haven’t used CR since and have been much happier with ShopBack. Their app is incredible, things track so quickly and they always pay up.

    • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 20/06/2019 - 07:49
      +14

      I would like to check your claims as there’s obviously a reason Apple rejected it. I can assure you Apple doesn’t decline arbitrarily. And it makes no difference which cashback site you used - if Apple declined, the end result would have been the same.

      Please turn on private messaging in your settings and PM me the associated ticket number (or post in a comment here). I will gladly report the findings here for transparency. Thanks.

      PS did you exchange or change any part of the order? That includes changing a product colour etc at in-store pickup.

    • skido on 20/06/2019 - 10:54

      This happened to me too but with a different store. Their "customer cashback guarantee" is a bit misleading. Shopback has always tracked my purchases with no issues.

        Well I've certainly never had any issues with cashrewards tracking, or paying out

    • Ti94 on 20/06/2019 - 16:29

      This happened to me as well but with Lenovo. I used Cash rewards to purchase a laptop and it tracked ok but then someone from Cash rewards email to me say we will not pay the cash back (works out to be $50!) because Lenovo was having a sale at that time.

      • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 20/06/2019 - 22:21

      Hi dinob7. The checks will come after buying the product. There will be a follow-up email from Apple asking for student/staff ID for verification. If the verification fails, the product will not be shipped, the charge on the card refunded, and cashback voided.

    Ensure your last click before purchasing from the Apple Store is from Cashrewards.

    I am just double checking that Safari should be okay to use, as I want to pay by Apple Pay.

    I have double checked that all sorts of privacy settings are turned off. All cookies are allowed. Cross-site tracking is allowed.
    Also, there are no AdBlock extension or the likes. VPN is switched off.

    Anything else to watch out for? I would hate to lodge missing cashback requests, as knowing Apple they would probably take forever to get back.

    • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 21/06/2019 - 11:37

      Hi there. You seem to have taken all necessary precautions :)

      Cross-site tracking is allowed.

      Thanks for raising this. So others are aware, please ensure 'Prevent Cross-Site Tracking' is OFF. It's a major issue for affiliates when using Safari on any mobile devices and/or desktops. It's a known cookie killer and can cause tracking failures. Thanks.

      • DoctorCalculon on 21/06/2019 - 16:01
        +1

        I have also found certain VPN providers to mangle up tracking data. At least that was my experience for a cashback not tracking on a browser setup which had worked previously.

        With regard to Safari, the two settings [Prevent cross-site tracking, Block all cookies] to double check is within the Privacy tab (of Preferences). They must both be unticked.

        • Clear on 21/06/2019 - 17:41
          +2

          Any good VPN will cause cashback issues because they're doing exactly what they're designed to do: Prevent others from tracking you!

          If the tracking cookies, session tracking etc. is being blocked by your VPN, then the affiliate network and Cashrewards will be unable to see your transaction resulting in… no cashback!

  • EnergicAU on 21/06/2019 - 16:08

    I Have a problem. Because the Mac mini I ordered is customised my credit card status is "pending" and won't go through until Monday. Will I still get the 7% reward or do I need to cancel this order and just go with an off the shelf model?

    • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 21/06/2019 - 17:15

      Hi Stab. Provided you received an Order ID from Apple and you made the purchase within the 7% increase window, you're good to go.

  • Felix2016 on 23/06/2019 - 20:47

    Hi Andrew - I made the purchase on the 20 June for a Macbook Pro. No pending or tracking email from Cashrewards yet. How are Apple at backpaying if for some reason this sale didn't track properly?

  • Store Repahc99 @ Cashrewards on 23/06/2019 - 21:04

    Hi Felix2016, no need to worry Apple tracks only after the goods are shipped, leave it a few days and let us know if any issue.

    • DoctorCalculon on 24/06/2019 - 21:11

      Just curious. If the tracking messes up, and Apple denies the referral from Cashrewards, do you wear the cost of honouring a customer's claim? That could be a big loss if the purchase is a $10K iMac. :(

      • Store Repahc99 @ Cashrewards on 25/06/2019 - 18:10

        We certainly hope it doesn’t come to that. If tracking fails for whatever reason, we lodge a claim on your behalf with Apple. They then review the claim via their analytics etc and will be able to tell us whether the sale was attributed to CR or not. If it was, they pay on the claim which is great for us and for the member. If not, they will be able to hopefully tell us why and which partner received your sales commission. This is why last click is key to all cashback transactions, else your sale can and will be attributed elsewhere. We then need to review each case on an individual basis. Thanks.

  • Gra747 on 25/06/2019 - 08:17

    Thanks for the clarification to Felix2016, I also have received no email or tracking info from Cashrewards yet. Ordered iMac on the 21st and is due to be delivered on Friday.
