    Payment went through but when I go to purchases, it seems I purchased an entry into a competition.

  • +11

    ok bought $5 and on the order confo on the app it says i got 100% cashback.
    BUT
    when i click see voucher:
    ooops you were not one of the first HAHAHAHAHAH

    got scammed by SB on Monday.. classic

  • Got one, took about 10 times swiping payment.

  • +4

    Another clusterfk! Why do these guys never learn???

    Granted, I eventually got one… after I made about 12 attempts with Oops INTERNAL SERVER ERROR and Purchase could not be completed popping up every time, until the final attempt when it finally went through.

  • +1

    I am stuck on the "processing your purchase airplane" and can't interact with anything lol

    • +1

      just wait it took ages but i got one

      • +1

        Had to force close but it worked immediately after and got SMS code. I finally got one of these promos but my sister got her immediately D:

        • +1

          WAIT! I purchased an entry?

    • -1

      If only it was an 'airplane purchase' instead…

  • -5

    got one on both accounts keep getting the message sorry your purchase was unsuccessful we are currently experiencing heavy traffic but i just kept swiping worked on my 7th try, my second account worked first time

  • tried 5mins too… finally got it

  • nice managed to get one ! :)

  • +2

    Had errors like others and then once i thought i got one it says i didn't and just entry into draw :/

  • +1

    Lol. Click fail… Server overload. Cooked.

    Got 1 finally at 3.18 but the 64 tries before that went nowhere

    • Realised later, I didn't get the gift card, another fail here…

  • +3

    Got one at 3.18 after trying swiping like more than ten times (and after the initial internal server error). Yay

  • +2

    Got errors, loading took forever, retired 4 times and got one

  • +1

    Got 100% cashback. 🙌

  • Took a few tries but managed to get one, $5 tracked right away.

  • App crashed temporarily 😂

  • +1

    Received an internal server error. $5 was taken from my balance but no gift card was given. Nice.

  • +1

    Couldn't purchase it, I was on the page as soon as it ticked over to 3:14pm, swiped to do the payment and it was stuck on the loading circle. No 3D Secure or SMS code was required, it was just Shopback crashing. Incredibly disappointing.

    Once it did finally go through (took multiple attempts, with/without paying with cashback balance) it says I wasn't one of the first 1,000.

    I have screenshots of the issue as well :/

    • @gotyourback No fault against you of course, but Shopback has to consider if spending $5,000 + payment processing fees, is worth the reputation damage when your payment systems collapse causing thousands of people (who pay at 3:14 on the dot) to miss out due to app faults.

  • +1

    Yey, cost me $5 to get entered into the draw…

    • +2

      Welcome to the club!

    • +1

      Same here.

    • +3

      It doesn’t ‘cost’ you anything. You’ll still get the cashback. Only difference is that you don’t get a giftcard.

      • I dont think so, I think you lost that $5 if you got the draw instead

        • +2

          You thought wrong.
          This ozbargain post was definitely misleading and OP/mod could have definitely edited it for clarity but it couldn't be more clear if you check the app.

          • @ChillBro: So you are saying that you didn't get the Gift Card, aka you got the competition draw entry.

            And you still getting 100% cashback?

            • +1

              @USER DC: I personally got the giftcard but anyone else who didn't and only got into the draw will be getting the cashback.
              FYI, the SB rep has just made his own comment that explains it all. Too bad it's currently being downvoted by extremely salty users.

        • I think you lost that $5 if you got the draw instead

          I beg to disagree. You have not lost the $5 at all, just its liquidity for a period of time until you are able to withdraw it from your SB account.

          However, whether by intention or not, SB has been deceptive in the way this deal / competition was run (IMHO).

          • @DoctorCalculon:

            I beg to disagree

            Please do not, I think I am wrong, I hope i am wrong for all you legends.

            I have found in the very recent 100% CB past deals @ shopback too if you join at exact start time you wont get anything. Instead you only get the award at like 1-2 minutes after the start time. For me payment failed like 5 times dude. Because there is simply too much traffic dude. I dont understand why Shopback could not make it easier for users, i.e. Let users know ASAP that 1000 user limit is past. Hence only entry draw now.
            But then again hopefully someone (outside of the SB internal team/their collogues) will actually gain $314 in Cashback instead of $5 (assuming SB is not lying in that, that person will be the one who gained most from the competition).

  • Tried about 8 times, kept getting server busy issues and after all the tries I finally got through

    edit: Used cashback on my account and card payment on my partner's. Both got a gift card in Purchases. Immediately swapped them to Amazon now in case the voucher decides to disappear or invalidate itself or something

      Same. Scammed!
      And a complete waste of time!

      This thread is NOT a deal, and should be placed under Competitions.

    • +1

      Same. Spent $5 to enter in the draw…..lol

    • +2

      Same. Got the $5 100% tracked confirmation email but can't access the voucher. Oh boy.

    • +2

      same. What a SCAMMED!

    • +3

      No you didn’t get scammed. You’ll get the cashback but just not the giftcard. It’s basically a free entry into the draw.

    • Same, looks like scammed.. where is the SB rep now???
      Took the $5 no gift card.

    So I got it, tried using my card but got the "heavy traffic" error, paid with SB credit and it worked.

  • I got one after million trial :)

    • +1

      No I did not, it appears that I got only the entry to the draw :(

  • +1

    Got 1 at 3 17, before that payment was unsuccessful, too much traffic

  • +16

    I would suggest that Shopback don't run these comps if their technology is not up to it.

    • -1

      100% agree

      I also think shopback should NOT plan this kind of competitions if their servers are NOT scaled and ready to handle the high traffic and deliver without server request errors.

      Only a few requests went through obviously between 3:14pm and 3:18pm (base on my own experience and user comments) and most of them were killed because of heavy traffic that cannot be handled by shopback servers.
      These request errors result is very bad user experience (10+ tries to purchase voucher) and unfair selection when you manage to get one of available vouchers by chance.
      I addition to that, when you finally get one, you think you've done it because you receive confirmation email and you can see voucher in app but then realise you've got nothing when you open voucher a bit later (sold out, hahaha) creating even more confusion, frustration and hate at some point like I have been scammed which is not completely wrong considering final result because of technical issues and confusing execution!

  • after 10 attempts got one

  • Heavy traffic from the first second on and couldn’t score. Same for the Missus…. Do people run bots on this?

    • Posted by a bot… for bots?

  • +1

    Wow! I actually got one, I must've tried about 35x continually getting a message to try again, I was going to give up but at about 3.18pm I got a text to input a verification code. Only $5 but I'll take it :)
    I've given up on the past after about 10 tries assuming there was none left so keep that in mind for future offers like this.
    I used my ShopBack credit not sure if that made a difference although I did have a card pre-linked (Bundll) so I assume it would've worked either way.

    • +3

      Have you clicked on the voucher to check that you actually got a $5 gift card and not just an entry in the draw?

      • +10

        Scratch that, they took $5 and I have a pending $5 cashback but when I look at my purchases all I have is an entry to win a gift card??? Pretty dodgy taking $5 off me without giving the gift card even if the cashback is pending??? I didn't agree to lend SB $5 until my cashback cleared? I charge 100% per day btw remember I told you at the same time you told me about taking my $5 regardless of if I win a $5 card or not, Scumbags!

  • Had order unsuccessful after entering sms code, went to try again but says Maximun attempts. Nothing been deducted nor did I get gift card

  • After few tries, finally got one, thanks!!

  • +17

    Was ready at 14 past, got various errors until it was successful.

    Only for it to actually be an “entry” and a $5 loan to ShopBack.

    Definitely think they should revert back to the previous “sold out” if you are unsuccessful.

  • I can see $5 tracked pending cashback in my account. Same with others in my family

    edit: in "see voucher" section I see this:

    oops, you were not one of the first 1000 to score a $5 shopback super swap gift card this round

  • +2

    First attempt failed and Shopback ate $5 of my cashback. Lovely.

    • Likewise, $5 from my balance is gone but no record of a purchase anywhere.

    • Talk to the rep - he 100% will fix it up

      • Who is the rep? There aren't even any contact details in the app.

      • Wow, my purchase said "you got 100% cashback" IE $5 but when I open the voucher it just says I am in a contest and I missed out.

    Not sure if I got it, Deal purchased says "you got 100% cashback on this purchase", but in "see voucher" - oops, you were not one of the first 1000 to score a $5 shopback super swap gift card this round.

    Hi GYB,
    I got one, Mrs got one as well. $5 tracked for both of us and $5 charged from our accounts but when we go to the purchase section to redeem the swap card we get message: 'Oops you were not one of the first 1000'

    Please help

    • +2

      Same. Means you're going to get your money back on the entry you purchased, plus at best 10c.

    my feedback: please do not do this kind of double promo. just do one 100% cashback for 1000 account then make it sold out.
    next day you can run competition or what ever.

    • +1

      Yeah. Totally agree with this. I didnt think you can purchase the gift card after the 1000 allocated, but it still goes through to enter in a draw that you don't want. I don't mind that I didnt get the 100% cashback with working gift card but if I had known that you can still purchase gift card after sold out I wouldn't have bothered at all.

  • +2

    Like previous poster mentioned, check you actually got a voucher! You might have paid $5 for an entry with 100% cashback.

  • +2

    Weird, I got 100% cash back and can see the $5 in my account but when I click the voucher it just mentions first 1000$.
    SB… let me use my voucher.

    Nice way for shopback borrowing your $5 for days and pay you back later.
