Has anyone been able to claim cashback from cashrewards with your credit card? I recently went to one with a cashback and the claim got rejected.

They said it was because I paid with EFTPOS, but that's not true.

On the receipt it says

"Tyro Payments EFTPOS"

then underneath that it has

"MasterCard Citi Credit"
card number same as what I have saved in cashrewards

I simply paid by tapping with pay wave and now they're saying I paid with EFTPOS. What else was I supposed to do? Had already replied back to them but how else can I dispute this?

  What else was I supposed to do?

  • Insert card.
  • enter PIN incorrectly 3 times.
  • sign for transaction.

      so paywave is not considered credit?

        Sorry, was trying to point out that there is no 3 times wrong PIN and you get to sign for transaction.

  Tyro processes tap transactions via "Least Cost Routing". In your case via EFTPOS rather than Mastercard

    but how would I know what that business uses? I should've asked them what they use before tapping the card? So this business is just going to use a cashback as a bait and then no one would get the cashback because this processing type is going to make everyone ineligible

      Perhaps ask Cash Rewards. You haven't provided any details about the CashRewards deal you were chasing.

      Not every business uses Tyro.

        no particular deals. Just an in store cashback rather than anything online https://www.cashrewards.com.au/in-store/offers

          @macr0hard: If your card was a credit card - should have been processed via Mastercard. If debit card and Tap & Go - via EFTPOS.

            @Baysew: It was a credit card. In the receipt it says "MasterCard Citi Credit". I thought I only needed to tap, didn't know I had to insert it.

              @macr0hard:

              Cashrewards In-Store Offers are available to all members who link their valid Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card to their Cashrewards account.

              • use your linked Visa or Mastercard card to pay for your purchase in-store at the participating store; and select ‘Credit’ or the payWave option to complete your transaction.

              I can see your issue here! And as you used a Credit Card, should have gone via Mastercard.

                @Baysew: ok, so select "Credit" or payWave right, I did payWave, so it was just a tap. So this is an issue with the merchant, not me?

  Watching this thread with interest. I've used this at Caltex when it first started and it worked.
