Help - All My Recent Cashrewards @ Amazon Are Declining

Usually when i get a decline I just shrug and assume the category wasn't included, but I started to notice that all my amazon purchases in the last months or so have declined.

On checking the categories they should have all been eligible for some form of cashback.

I always make sure Cashrewards is reactivated for each transaction before adding an item to cart. And with the last purchase I disabled Honey and Shop Back just to make sure there wasn't another extension causing problems but still I got a decline. Other website site purchases are tracking fine - it just seems to be amazon.

I have raised an inquiry with Cash Rewards for each declined transaction, but rather than just trying to get these fixed as they happen I thought I would ask if anyone has any idea what might be causing this?

Recently I have started making more use of adding things to my lists as a means of bookmarking items I might buy later - does this cause issues with cash rewards? They definitely aren't in my cart yet at this point, I only add to cart from my lists after activating Cash Rewards.

    Hi. Auto-declines after purchase occur if Amazon reports items as coming from 0% (ineligible) categories. Please PM me a ticket number or your CR email address and I’ll look into this for you and report back. There will certainly be a valid explanation. Thank you.

      Is there a definitive way to see what category an item belongs to? For example, I bought some Philips Hue stuff on the weekend. Is it Home? Home Improvement? Electronics?

    Either ineligible category or S&S items probably. I've noticed the same thing.

    All good. Rep looked into it it's just a string of bad timing on categories that weren't offering CB until after i made the purchase that made me think it was something else outside of the categories.

      Thanks for the PM and happy to have resolved the issue. As discussed, all three of your declined purchases were made when those categories were at 0% cashback and therefore ineligible. Please always check our Amazon page prior to purchase as categories & eligibility will change regularly. All the very best.
