$5 Bonus Cashback on $50 Online Spend @ Cashrewards (Activation Required, Excludes Gift Card Purchases)

2840

Hi everyone. A nice bonus for all our members ending 11:59pm AEST, and thanks for your support as always. Please stay safe, and enjoy :)

If you intend buying something from Amazon, please ensure you check your item's category by using my tips to help determine whether or not it's eligible for cashback.

Read the terms below carefully - it will save a lot of questions. Ensure you activate the bonus prior to shopping. Once activated, shop as normal via the 'Shop Now' (Store) or 'Activate Now' (Notifier) buttons on Cashrewards. Note specific store exclusions such as Amazon 0% categories, AliExpress non-affliliate products etc, and read all terms for the store your wish to purchase from.

Full list of Cashrewards stores & categories here.

$5 Bonus Promo Terms:

  1. To be eligible for the AUD $5 bonus, you must first activate the promotion via the main link in this post, then shop as normal via any active online store* on Cashrewards, excluding any purchase from the Cashrewards Gift Card Page.
  2. After activation, transaction must be made between 8:00am and 11:59pm AEST 18/04/23.
  3. Bonus is eligible on qualifying purchases of AUD $50 or more in a single transaction (inclusive of GST, after any discounts, and before shipping). Sales may report to Cashrewards ex-GST so the amount shown in your account may be less than $50 - you will still be eligible for the bonus.
  4. Bonus will be added automatically to your Cashrewards account as ‘pending’ upon activation of this offer. Under some conditions, there may be a delay of up to 60 minutes for the bonus to show in your account. Bonus will be approved within 7 days of any associated qualifying purchase being approved, as per the terms of the store.
  5. Bonus is over and above the advertised store cashback rates which still apply to the transaction.
  6. Transaction is valid if made online via desktop browser, Cashrewards mobile app, Cashrewards Notifier, or mobile browser.
  7. Bonus is ineligible on any purchase from the Cashrewards Gift Card Page, and ineligible on any in-store purchases.
  8. Selected stores may report orders with multiple items as separate transactions into your Cashrewards account - these are still eligible.
  9. Bonus is limited to one per Cashrewards account. Additional transactions do not qualify for additional bonuses.
  10. Bonus is ineligible if you purchase from a 0% cashback store/cashback rate, if you purchase an ineligible item, or if an order is cancelled, changed, returned, rejected. *Check individual store cashback terms and exclusions prior to purchase (see Amazon & AliExpress terms especially).
  11. Fraudulent activity will result in rewards being forfeited and accounts closed.

Do not activate the bonus unless you intend using it - it will decline after 14 days unless a qualifying purchase is made. For tracking success, disable 3rd party plugins (AdBlock, uBlock, Pi-hole, Honey, etc), VPNs, avoid browsers such as Brave, close additional browser tabs, and don't click away to other sites looking for codes etc after clicking from Cashrewards as tracking will be lost. Cashrewards must be your last click before purchase. Use our iOS/Android mobile app for improved tracking results. Use our Help Centre & Contact form here for any questions or issues.

  • Thanks TA
    Able to activate the offer without issue!

      Don't worry any deal without giftcards , Ebay and Amazon 0 products everyone can get .

  • Finally, a cashreward offer I am eligible to

  • +11

    The last 2 transactions I've had haven't been tracked. Tried to report the last one and keep getting error message even with a different browser. Had to report as General Enquiry otherwise I couldn't get it to work. Waiting for a response….. My problems appear to coincide with new website - been a member for years with very few problems until recently. So until resolved, I'm avoiding using CR. No use having great offers if they're accompanied by tracking and website problems.

    • +1

      I've had issues as well:
      * Submit claim button doesn't work sometimes
      * purchases not tracking at all
      * wouldn't let me withdraw full amount

    • Exact same issues for me. My two most recent transactions didn’t track and trying to submit a claim failed due to “connections issues”.
      Something is up as haven’t had issues for years with CR.

      • Hi @bean_counter @ssx @GimmeCashback

        So sorry you're having difficulty submitting your claims. We're unsure why some members are experiencing this but please know you can always email us direct from your Cashrewards email address to [email protected]. Further, a response to minita's comment here would assist us enormously in resolving the issue. Please also state if this is happening via desktop browser (which one), mobile browser (which one), mobile app (iOS or Android).

        Really appreciate your time and patience. Thank you.

          You must be having a few problems. An enquiry last month was responded with with someone will be in touch within 3 business days but in recent e-mails it's now 5 business days. I'm using Chrome for my purchases (like I always have) and the problem with trying to lodge missing claims has occurred with both Chrome and Microsoft Edge. I can do a General Enquiry to report the issue (which I've done) but repeatedly get error message when trying to lodge missing claim. It's made more frustrating by it happening after you've filled in the details and uploaded order/invoice support. In the meantime, I just ignore any CR offers and use ShopBack or Cheddar irrespective of how good CR's offer is. I'd rather be certain of getting 5% cashback with minimal effort than maybe getting 10% and possibly having to jump through hoops to do so.

          • @bean_counter: Yes, the quoted response timeframe varies depending on backlog - Easter hasn't helped. The offer of help is there if you would like me to follow up. Have a great day.

            • @tightarse: Can cashback be canceled if Cashrewards don't receive a response from the advertiser?

        • Thanks @tightarse. I made a purchase tonight at Under Armour that tracked almost instantly.
          I have bookmarked the thread you mentioned and will share relevant details should I have further issues.
          Note the two previous issues I had that failed to track (one via The Iconic the other via Puma), I have managed to submit claims for these last night successfully through the standard process. These had previously failed multiple times during the day.

    • Both missing transactions have now been fixed (and approved) with assistance/intervention from TA. Although it would be better if it wasn't a problem in the first place, having support provided by TA is a BIG plus for using CR when compared to service/assistance from the competition. Thanks TA

      • Pleasure. Thank you :)

    Will this stack with the 25% off Myer sale this evening?

    • Same q?

      • +1

        @Rail Rider95 @archieduh - of course :)

        • -5

          Given how often cashrewards declines a cashback for seemingly no reason, that was definitely not a "duh" sort of question.

          • +3

            @Rail Rider95: I read it the same way until I realised TA replied to you and a user named "archieduh"

            • @ssx: Ahhh that makes a lot more sense. My apologies @tightarse

              And no I was referring to declined cashback as opposed to activation bonuses.

              • +1

                @Rail Rider95: Feel free to PM me if you need anything investigated. Thanks.

          • +2

            @Rail Rider95: archieduh is a username tag in response to that member lol - not a duh comment. Are you referring to declined activation bonuses? If so, please only activate bonuses you intend using. They will decline if a qualifying purchase is not made.

  • +3

    What if I have the targeted $10 bonus cashback as well? Would I be eligible for both bonuses if I spend $50?

    Or do I need to spend twice?

    • +1

      Hi. Each promo requires it's own separate qualifying purchase. So if you've activated both, you'll need to make two separate purchases based on the terms of each offer. Thanks.

    Tightarse can I ask when the next decent petstock or petbarn CR offer is proposed? Been ages since the last one

    If I buy an Amazon Tool (3.5%) can I use my Amazon gift card balance to pay?

      If I buy an Amazon Tool

      Sorry Jeff Bezos isn't for sale.

    • +2

      Keen to know too, got some remaining balance on my giftcard on my account

  • Hey mate, my purchases after activating the last $5 bonus /$50 spend didn't track and now the $5 has been declined. I put a query through last week and havn't heard back. Can you have a look please?

    • Are you addressing TA? He has said numerous times you can PM him on here.

      Happy 10 year OB anniversary for tomorrow.

    @tightarse Hey mate, there seems to be a discrepancy in cashback categories for Amazon. The image you've linked has Home Improvement & Home at 3.5% and Tools at 0% but on the Cashrewards website, it has Tools at 3.5% and Home Improvement & Home at 3.5%. Which one is correct?

    • +3

      Gee, nice spotting! I stupidly copy/pasted from previous post, and the eligible categories have obviously since changed. I've updated the screenshot now. Thanks so much!

      • What would fall under "Tools" (3.5%) but not "Home Improvement"(0%)? Unless I'm missing something, it looks to me that tools are all found under "Home Improvement" e.g. Home Improvement›Power & Hand Tools›Hand Tools

  • +2

    Thanks TA. Bought something for $50.50 as work expense and pocketed the $5. Can't say no to free money.

  • Sorry if it's been covered before but for Aliexpress it says to have an empty cart before clicking through. If we add the items to the cart from our wishlist is that fine or do we need to search for them and add them that way?

    • In my experience adding to the cart just before clicking through or from the wishlist is fine.

      Alternatively if you want to search for an item the easy way is getting the item code and searching for that.

      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005254384421.html

      Searching for 1005005254384421 will take me directly to the product.

      • That's an awesome tip searching the product code, thanks! Seems so obvious when you think about it.

  • Nice arse, this should work with the Addiesdive 40mm Quartz Dive Watch.

  • @tightarse Sorry if this is a silty question, but what's the go with "temporarily out of stock" items such as https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07SN6PC5K/ref=ppx_od_d… ? I bought one of these last week and need to get a few more, as well as a reference book I need, but am concerned that if the notebooks remain OOS for a few weeks or longer, that the order won't qualify for the bonus cashback - and imagine that would certainly be the case if they didn't come back into stock at all and that part of the order is cancelled! Thanks.

      Hi SimbaGirl, hope all is well. As per the terms for cashback on Amazon, this is all I can offer:

      https://www.cashrewards.com.au/amazon-australia

      Cashback is eligible for - Pre-orders of products in an eligible category, but only if the item is scheduled to be shipped within 60 days of purchase.

      • Hi TA - yes, very well, thank you :) Hope all is well with you too!

        Thanks for that information - don't think I'll risk it, might look and see if I can find something else. Cheers :)

  • Tanks… but I have no idea what I have to buy…
    Almost I needed items are 0% CB…

  • @tightarse would like to know if this would work if I buy 2 things from amazon in one transaction?

    1. if both item are under eligible category?
    2. if one item out of 2 is under eligible category?
    • @tightarse, would like to know too

      1. Yes
      2. Only if the eligible item meets the $50 threshold. But then again you would be ordering that item seperatly and not combined with a non-eligible category item just to be safe.

        @cute as ducks, thanks for answering

  • Will this work if I use the CR app then get redirected to the Amazon app?

    • Not really sure. Sometimes they do advise to not use apps. It's safe just to use a browser. But, how come you are being redirected to the Amazon app? I tried to go to Amazon via Cashrewards app now, and it is just opening up Amazon within the Cashrewards app. (I am using an iPhone)

    • +1

      Yes. I have a 100% success rate for when the Amazon app opens up from redirection from the CR app

  • What's good to buy, lol

    • I ran out of things to buy a long time ago.

      In saying that, this time I bought this gym bag

      Ultimate Gym Bag 2.0: The Durable Crowdsource Designed Duffel Bag with 10 Optimal Compartments Including Water Resistant Pouch, Green, Medium (20")

      • Just bought some waterproof exercise pants. Now waiting for it to track!

  • ordered more physical books from Amazon, let's see if that tracks

    • @tightarse
      the $5 bonus is showing on my cashrewards bcz I have activated the $5 bonus offer, however the transaction still have not tracked
      cashback rate for Amazon physical books is 1.4%

  • Will ebay be included even if it doesnt have any cashback at the moment? Thanks!

    • Good question. I'd like to know for sure too - but I would assume it is not included

      • I didnt end up buying with Ebay last night. My thinking is that Cashrewards will not be able to track anything since I didn't click any "Shop Now" button inside Cashrewards.

        @tightarse - Is this something you can confirm so we can plan next time? Many thanks!!

  • Just grabbed a set of half price RayBans (+14% CR) hopefully they will track…

    I had to report a missed tracking last time, then they claimed I had returned the sunglasses….so I am still waiting for the last RayBan CR. Anyone else had issues with RayBan?

      • My purchase with kitchenaid still no CR tracking as well. I think kitchenaid is problematic because my last purchase from kitchenaid did not track for me. I have to liaise with CR team to resolve the cash back.

  • Ordered lift top up coffee table.
    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B0BSN3SCNN?ref=ppx_pt2_mob…
    It's category is Furniture(3.5%), howevere, furniture is under Home(0%) category on Amazon. Is it eligible? It's very confused.

    • Looks very functional.

  • Does anyone have experience with how long Amazon takes to track?

  • @tightarse I spent $53.62 AUD before taxes and shipping on AliExpress. It tracked this morning as $34.19 USD spent and $2.21 AUD in cashback. I converted that back to AUD (2.21 ÷ 0.045), it would appear I spent $49.11. Did I just miss out here?

    • +1

      Hi. It should be fine. However, keep an eye on the bonus. If it declines, just let me know and I'll sort it. Thanks.

  • I spent AUD$127.20 on Kitchen Aid, still not track yet but it showed in the click history. Should I email Cash Rewards?
