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

  • Ineligible for cashback (updated 21/11/22): Gen 10 iPad, iPad Pro 11" & 12.9", Apple TV 4K, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch Series 8, Studio Display, Pro Display XDR, Purchase of Gift Cards, Gift Wrap, Shipping, Apple Developer Programs, Purchases via trade-ins, AppleCare purchased individually (or after associated product ships).

  • Important: Cashback tracks to member accounts between 2-7 days after you receive confirmation from Apple that the product has been shipped.

  • 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.

Thanks TA. OzBargainers… enjoy :)

          I believe it doesn’t have to be $300 on one invoice. So you may be able to buy something else to make it $300 to claim TRS.

          • yanlianglee on 26/11/2022 - 00:54

            @j1568: Yes you can combine multiple purchases given the ABN are the same. I wonder whether Apple online receipt can be used to claim or do we have to get a physical receipt (not online printout)?

            • j1568 on 26/11/2022 - 01:03

              @yanlianglee: I have claimed with the online receipt in the past.

    • rkm on 25/11/2022 - 16:40

      I purchased same with all gift card. just received the voucher, an hour after shipped msg was sent.
      Also, received 2 mails at same time, 1 for invoice and other for $80 gift card.
      If in doubt, you can call or chat with them online.

      • nguyes08 on 25/11/2022 - 16:47

        what time did you order? I ordered at 3:40pm for click and collect today.

        • rkm on 25/11/2022 - 16:52

          12:30AM with personalized message. People who did same time without any personalized msg, got their $80 around 9-10 in the morning.
          They might take some time to reach to your order …

          • nguyes08 on 25/11/2022 - 19:17

      Still waiting for ShopBack one.

    • wordsmith on 25/11/2022 - 22:04

      What's the amount of cashback as per tracking?

      • zzzman on 25/11/2022 - 22:28

        $20.27 for the Apple Pencil 2 at $219 RRP

        Not quite 10% before GST so not sure how they calculated that number.

        • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 22:33
          +3

          [ ($219 - $40) / 1.10 ] + $40 = $202.72727

          $202.72727 * 10% = $20.27

  • Blacksoil on 25/11/2022 - 22:06

    place an order, paid, order went through, how long would it take to receive the gift card? will it send by email, i.e. digital GC?

      It is a digital GC sent via email. I got mine ~7 hours after ordering (a little after midnight).

  • Tevada on 25/11/2022 - 22:23

    my cash back was tracked for the $80 gift card only, anyone got this issue?

    • lint on 26/11/2022 - 09:28

      Yes me too. I bought two items that each had $80 gift card back at 11:30am, for pickup at 7pm. Received invoices for the gift cards within an hour, invoice for the actual goods at pickup.

      Cashrewards only tracked $160 rather than $1118 LOL.

      • Tevada on 26/11/2022 - 15:36

        Do you just raise a query with cashreward to resolve this?

        • lint on 28/11/2022 - 09:47

          Yes, I did that and got a useless reply saying "I can see it's been partially tracked but please wait the full 2-7 days for the rest to track and send us the shipping confirmation if it still hasn't tracked."

          I don't think I've ever had a situation where the rest of the order tracked days later so I'm fairly certain it's tracked wrong and this is just pushing the issue down the road. Plus I chose pick up so there was no shipping confirmation.

          I'll wait for the full period and send them the invoices, but things seem to go wrong really often with Cashrewards.

          • Tevada on 28/11/2022 - 09:49

    There seems to be some additional charge to my CC which I can’t seem to reconcile (paid a mixture of GC and CC).. transactions are still ‘pending’ but will see in a couple days time

  • I Smell Pennies on 25/11/2022 - 22:38

    Here is how cashback is calculated:

    Cashback = 10% * [(RRP - gift card value)/1.10 + (gift card value)]

    Thanks to @raykim for helping me learn

    • fraxinus on 25/11/2022 - 22:46

      That makes mathematical sense and better than expected in that the GC amount is also included. Wish mine had followed that formula!

    and, is MBA M1 base model the best value laptop at the moment?

    So funny, purchased an Apple watch SE and cashback tracked as 10% of $142.73 spent…….any idea how did this calculated? Paid in full with $400 giftcards + $49 account balance.

    • fraxinus on 25/11/2022 - 23:12

      Same. No idea how they arrived at that figure. I’d have expected it to be the same as the AirPods Pro 2 calculations OP provided above, given it’s the same price and GC amount.

    • yangtzeyankee on 26/11/2022 - 08:09

      I bought the 40mm version with $399 account balance but also got the same amount of cashback. On invoice - value per unit: $362.73; extended value: $290 (290 + GST 29 + Promotional gift card 80 = 399); price includes redeemed coupon of: $72.73. It's hard to figure out the math.

    • yangtzeyankee on 16/12/2022 - 10:29

      FYI I submitted enquired about this and the amount was updated to AUD $362.73. Status is still pending though.

  • bigCake on 25/11/2022 - 23:37

    Wtf does Apple even have basic accounting and primary school math knowledge!!!???
    Bought a Mac air m1 at 1499 (240 bonus gift card for black Friday event)
    Paid with Apple account balance 250 + remaining from credit card 1249
    Now credit card showing as charged for 1249 + a gift card charge of 240
    My total out of pocket should be 1499! Not the current 250 + 1249 + 240 !
    Apple, you need to improve your staff’s basic math knowledge.
    Damn now gotta go thru all the trouble to call Apple (outside support business hours now)

    Please don’t stuff up my $100 cashreward…

    • Shuey on 25/11/2022 - 23:52

      Yep, something similar on my end when I bought my M2 MBA.. paid GC + CC, ended up getting charged an additional $59. Hopefully you’ll get to reverse the charge. I’m heading into the Apple Store on Sunday so will try and sort mine out.

      And hope the CR CB comes in.. still waiting. Almost 24 hours

    • Yumeka222 on 26/11/2022 - 09:40

      Same here, Apple charged an additional amount for the bonus gift card. Did you get Apple to reverse the charge? It’s showing pending on my credit card. Seems like Apple Support is only weekdays 9-5 sigh

    • bigCake on 26/11/2022 - 10:44

      Called Apple support this morning and was told the incorrect 240 charge for the gift card is just floating on the CC transaction list. It will be reversed and disappeared from the list in 24-48 hours. Apple acknowledged it’s a know system error/confusion.
      Will see. Hope this helps others.

      • Yumeka222 on 26/11/2022 - 14:48

        Thanks for letting us know! I will wait then 👍

        • bigCake on 26/11/2022 - 19:18

          Not sure if Apple said so to me because I called them or everyone needs to call Apple to report incorrect charge first. Hopefully Apple is not that stupid. I would suggest you at least to monitor your account and follow up with Apple if nothing happens after 24-48 hours. Can’t believe it Apple still doesn’t state clearly and fix the issue when so many customers are impacted.

          • sunaus on 27/11/2022 - 09:02

            After called for several times, the staff cannot find the reason, and escalated to payment team for review.

            It was fixed on Friday night, but now on hold again.

            @bigCake: Thanks @bigCake. My CC charge has come through correctly now - it’s showing two transactions with one amount for the bonus GC and one amount for the product minus GC amount.

    I’d rather buy through ShopBack with 6.5% cashback. Last time it took me a few months to get my cash back approved by Cashrewards when I bought the MBA with the uni offer early this year.

    • Shuey on 25/11/2022 - 23:53

      I don’t mind waiting for the CB to be paid, not a whole lot of money.. just as long as it’s captured.

      • du23 on 25/11/2022 - 23:59

        The issue is that you have to keep it in mind and keep chasing them. They said they needed to get their commission first so that they could approve your cashback. It took me 4 months to get the money finally. Capturing does not mean the cashback will be finally approved. It can be later declined.

        • Shuey on 26/11/2022 - 00:14

          Fair enough, 4 months isn’t reasonable. I’ve been lucky so far in terms of not getting the CB declined (as long as it gets recorded), but agree its way too long for the approval. Oh well

  • vhfyagi on 26/11/2022 - 00:45

      They tried to attract most people with $100 cap. And then offer sweeter lollies to capture the hesitating people with bigger spending amount.

      Cashrewards is getting worse. The 6% is even lower than shopbacks.

  • Blacksoil on 26/11/2022 - 12:43

    Pls forgive me if I ask a silly question here: for the gift card, it didn’t have barcode, only pin. So if want to be used online, it must be redeemed into apple account first or no need? If go to shop, can I only spend part of it? For example, $80 card, only spend $50, then where is rest $30 left to since it doesn’t have physical card? Never use this kind of Apple Card before. Thx

    • dreamykitten on 26/11/2022 - 14:47

      I assume you’re talking about the digital Apple Gift Card. It functions as a normal physical Apple Gift Card which also doesn’t have a barcode, just a string of letters and numbers.

      If you go to the Apple Store to buy something, the staff can scan it (the string of letters and numbers) with their POS device.

      If you wanna use it online, you have to redeem it to your Apple Account Balance first.

      If you go to the Apple Store, you can use part of it, the remaining amount will just be stored in the card, just like a physical one. You can choose to redeem the rest of it to your Apple Account Balance, or just let it sit in your digital Apple Gift Card.

      If you use it online, obviously the rest of the amount will just sit in your Apple Account Balance.

      • Blacksoil on 26/11/2022 - 15:00

        Thanks so much and really appreciate! So kind and it is very clear :)

      • lint on 28/11/2022 - 10:04

        You can use the digital gift card by itself online just as you can in-store, but it's just easier to add it to your Apple Account balance first.

    Also just got my $100 CB (phew!) for my M2 MBA. It was the full amount less GST.

    A question here, hope some experts can answer: I got a watch SE 44 starlight GPS from Apple store, it has model no MNLA3ZP/A, but in all other vendors like JB, the Good Guys, Officeworks, they all have MODEL: MNJX3ZP/A, why difference? Doesn't make sense
