This is what we've all been waiting for

Have you seen the Cashrewards Black Friday cashback increase banner everywhere? Seen the Apple logo on it and wondered when it will happen and how much the cashback will be?

Well, I reached out to TA (tightarse) last week to enquire about the upcoming upsized cashback for Apple since everyone was asking for it in relation to Apple's annual Black Friday sales (Apple Shopping Event) and he was more than happy to provide some details:

Upsized cashback rate: 10% (excl. GST)

During the 24 hour promo, cashback for Apple is capped at $100 in total per member account, irrespective of the number of transactions made. Valid 12am to 11:59pm AEDT 25/11/2022.

Best to use the Cashrewards app for the highest chance of tracking!

TA has confirmed that all cashback eligible products sold as part of the Apple Shopping Event will be applicable/eligible for the 10% upsized cashback offer, despite having a promotional bonus gift card bundled with the item.

However, cashback will still be ineligible if you purchase a standalone gift card (as always), so don't buy a standalone gift card.

Stack this upsized cashback deal with the Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen $399 + Bonus $80 Apple Gift Card deal for an even bigger saving on the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen, especially if using discounted gift cards to pay (yes - you can use gift cards to pay) - this is probably the best deal ever for the 2nd Gen

Special Terms

  • Apple sells and ships products to end user customers only; you may not purchase for resale. Eligible only to a customer for up to five (5) units per eligible product, except iPhone, in which case only two (2) units within a thirty-day (30-day) period are eligible.

  • Cashback is eligible on purchases paid with gift cards, and eligible on the purchase of Apple refurbished products.

  • Cashback is ineligible on EPP purchases (Employee Purchase Program).

  • Apple Education Store eligibility: full time or part time students aged 18 or over with current student union or student ID card and studying at an accredited Australian university or Apple approved institution; lecturers or staff at an accredited Australian university; teachers or lecturers working at an Apple approved & registered education establishment within Australia. Additionally, products purchased from Apple's Education Store must be for personal, education, or research use.

  • Information on Education pricing on Mac computers and selected accessories (for members that are eligible based on Apple's T&Cs): After clicking 'Shop Now', navigate via the Education link in Apple's footer menu before adding items to cart.

  • HamBoi69 on 24/11/2022 - 20:54

    If we've already got the Apple Gift Cards redeemed in our account, can we just press apply at checkout, and still be eligible?

    • I Smell Pennies on 24/11/2022 - 20:58

      When I did that a few months back, cashback got accepted and paid out multiple times, so I assume so

    • georgegates5 on 24/11/2022 - 21:27

      Wondering if Rep from cashrewards can confirm this?

      Also have not done this before, can I redeem multiple gift card (like multiple 200$ denomination of apple gift card) into my apple account?

      What does it mean by "standalone gift card" ?

      Assuming if one does not wish to add gift card to account, checking out with multiple gift card is still eligible as well right (maximum 8 per online transaction)?

        What does it mean by "standalone gift card" ?

        The standalone gift card part isn’t related to redeeming this deal.

        The standalone gift card is when you’re manually adding an Apple Gift Card to cart and buying it.

        In this deal the gift card is already bundled with the promotional item, which makes it not a standalone gift card.

        Assuming if one does not wish to add gift card to account, checking out with multiple gift card is still eligible as well right (maximum 8 per online transaction)?

        Yes, I believe the system allows 8 GCs. All good for cashback

        • syswong on 25/11/2022 - 03:12

          So technically, we can go get the Ultimate Gift card at Aldi or the TCN from Coles, then go to JB to get Apple gift card whcih can be loaded in to Apple account then purchase with the Black Friday sale + Cash back?

    • dazzza on 24/11/2022 - 21:39

      I bought $400 Apple gift card from Coles. So I can add the gc to my Apple account, then just pay with my account balance? Not an Apple person and never bought from Apple Store so I don’t know whether I would get the 10% Cashrewards like others asking

      • Hendot on 24/11/2022 - 21:42

        Yes, you get cash back when paying with your apple account balance.

        • dazzza on 24/11/2022 - 21:44

          Hendot thanks. Sorry I’m new to Apple, I have an account I just add/redeem gift card onto my account then the balance will be in my account? Just like any other store?

      • Gervais fanboy on 24/11/2022 - 21:42

        I bought $400 Apple gift card from Coles..

          It was bonus flybuys points, finished a couple days ago I think. Think equate to 10% off in flybuys points

          • Gervais fanboy on 24/11/2022 - 21:47

            @dazzza: Cool
            I only ask coz I was considering buying those TCN cards @15% off and then eventually converting them into Apple Cards.
            But I was hoping that there might be a simpler way to do that..

              @Gervais fanboy: Some gift cards have catches whereby can’t convert from one to another etc. not sure about the tcn cards? They are eftpos cards? So use them at say jb and get Apple Card’s? It could work but a bit of work if it does but could be beneficial for a large amount. Smaller amounts easier the better for me

              @Gervais fanboy: if you check the mega thread for TCN … its 50:50 depending on JB hifi staff… I just did the woolies ultimate gift card as it is easier. Rather get 10% than nothing.

              Also most places are sold out of TCN and left the smaller denomination or none at all.

              • zzzman on 24/11/2022 - 22:03

                @georgegates5: I was at JB Galeries Victoria and converted Ultimate cards to Apple GCs. The staff asked what gift card it was first so I think there might be certain cards they don’t allow?

              • Gervais fanboy on 24/11/2022 - 22:04

                @georgegates5:

                I know, I just spent half an hour going through obscure threads on this site.
                I was planning to contact JB customer service first thing in the morning, to get clarity on this subject and then go on from there

                Also most places are sold out of TCN and left the smaller denomination or none at all.

                Damn, I didn’t even consider that might be a possibility…

                They don’t work at Apple, do they ?
                I didn’t see Apple listed on their website..

                Or are you saying I should use the Ultimate gift cards at Jb to then buy some Apple gift cards…
                So Jb accepts Ultimate cards and not TCN ?

                  +2

                  @Gervais fanboy: go into JbHIFI and convert to gift card. When paying ,just say pay by card, swipe card -> select credit -> enter pin (as per instructions on the back). (if multiple gift card just say doing split payment by card). Do not mention paying via gift card.

                  I tried adding to my apple pay wallet but did not work.

                  See ultimate card mega thread on ozbargain.

                    Spot on, I understand you fully but my point is that I was planning to do the same exact thing with TCN cards, just quietly swipe and pay with them at Jb Hifi..
                    But the threads indicated that the staff quite often checks the kind of cards that people attempt paying with at the eftpos and they reject people using TCN cards.
                    My point is that if they reject TCN, they’ll probably reject Ultimate gift cards too..
                    Anyways, I’ll probably figure it out later today and let you all know..

    So we still getting shafted.

    • tharlow on 25/11/2022 - 17:58

      Bear in mind that the US prices probably don’t include tax — so add 10% before comparing. Also, the Australian dollar isn’t a serious currency, so we’re lucky that Apple deems us worthy of purchasing their world-class products in the first place. It’s important to furnish the appropriate level of respect, and be grateful!

    is the 10% for full purchase price, or on the price less gift card bonus value?

    • Hendot on 24/11/2022 - 21:49

      Invoiced as paying face value for gift card, and discount on the product. On this basis, cashback will be on price less gift card value.

    • Daabido on 24/11/2022 - 21:45

      The bonus gift card is charged at the full price and the iThingy at the discount price, to avoid you doing just that. Gift cards are not returnable.

      Apply now has the extended return period, which I think the date is early Jan? Back to uni offer may happen around the same time.

      So if you are in the market for apple product, maybe buy first and decide when Back to uni offer is released in jan. Earlier the year, some countries had gift cards instead of airpods for back to uni….
