Hey guys. So proud to share that after eight incredible years at Cashrewards and a well deserved three month break with family, I've joined the amazing team at TopCashback as its first full-time Aussie-based employee in the role of Customer Ambassador for its local conglomerate, TopCashback Australia. Established over 19 years ago, TopCashback is the leading cashback site in the UK with presence in many countries including Germany, France, USA, China, Spain, Italy, and now in its infancy in Australia. My goal is to support TopCashback as a global cashback leader and certainly help establish it as the most trusted & generous cashback provider in Australia.

I'll endeavour to negotiate and harness the best local rates, deals, and offers for its members, and provide second to none customer support. Apart from bringing you great deals, I will also be the eyes and ears as your store rep here on OzBargain. I established an enormous amount of good will and trust with members during my time at Cashrewards, and I'll do everything in my power to ensure this continues with TopCashback. I want to help make your cashback journey as seemless as possible.

So if you're not already a TopCashback member, join today, refer friends, and get ready for some fun & exciting times. All I ask is to please allow me a few weeks to settle into the new role. There's going to be a lot to learn and many new people to meet & talk to. In the meantime, please continue to reach out to TopCashback AU Rep for any queries you may have.

I'm pumped with anticipation & excitement for this new chapter in my life. Thank you as always for your support. TA.

    Am I the only one who's curious to know what kind of salary you can earn working as a cashback rep?

    Congrats TA. I still remember reading your introductory message to CR 8 years ago. Time has flown by indeed.

      That's why we are a Living Wage Employer, meaning we pay our team a meaningful wage to cover the demands of modern-day living.

      Source. Based on that I'm going to say about $120k because ain't no way you could live on less than that.

      • Neoika on 14/05/2024 - 06:19

        A Living Wage Employer means it may pay an employee in India at $12k p.a.

      I would assume it's commission based to a large extent so the better the deal, the more TA deserves!

    • Fobsessive on 13/05/2024 - 23:31

      I assume the role is similar to a Business Development Manager which pulls a decent salary. Glassdoor has a $130k average

      @idonteven @amsaini15 @Muzeeb @Neoika @DKC @Fobsessive

      I had assumed TCB's rep was in Aus until I saw this UK ad a few months ago. Explains the timing of replies.
      One of the cons in GlassDoor for TCB is low salary.

      • trixieb on 14/05/2024 - 00:37

        Thanks for the kind offer TA.

        I haven't been using TCB recently but posted their deal last month for new members. TCB didn't plan well (limited stock) and orders also didn't seem to track correctly. I didn't want to waste anyone's time again and decided not to post anymore. It would be the previous rep's responsibility.

        Now that you are the new rep, it's a different story, moving forward :)

  • King Tightarse on 14/05/2024 - 00:14

    Congrats TA!

  • easternculture on 14/05/2024 - 00:58

    Congrats on your new journey.

    Just curious how the non compete and NDA (if you were required to sign before leaving CR) would affect your role at TCB

    I was honestly expecting you to start your own CB startup but you might be bound by a 3 to 5 year non- compete clause

    • toasty on 14/05/2024 - 01:26

      Non-completes and other post-employment restraints are often difficult and expensive to enforce in most Australian states, with the exception of NSW, as our courts frequently find them to be unreasonable. The Restraint of Trade Act 1976 (NSW) makes them somewhat more enforceable in NSW.

      • easternculture on 14/05/2024 - 01:30
        +1

        But we are talking about a Bank (owner of CR) who has plenty of cash and teams of solicitors 🤔

        Can already anticipate ANZ lawsuits against TCB just because they think they can.

        • toasty on 14/05/2024 - 01:51
          +1

          Even so, with the exception of roles involving national security, 3-5 year restraints are considered completely unreasonable and effectively unenforceable in almost any court no matter how much money was spent nor how many lawyers were involved. Three months might be enforceable, depending on a number of other factors.

          It is generally accepted in advanced economies that researchers have published enough evidence showing post-employment restraint clauses harm productivity, competition, and employee mobility. The trend is now to look at ways to further limit their effectiveness or outright ban them in countries like the US, UK, and Australia.

          • easternculture on 14/05/2024 - 08:29

            @toasty: I totally agree with you.
            However that wouldn't stop them from chasing the former employee and new employer if any breach of agreement.
            But I guess is the legal threats, wasted unproductive time, solicitor expenses and court hearings that you have to go to that would bother me. Which is why most people just honour the agreement.

            • toasty on 14/05/2024 - 11:27

              @easternculture: Generally, except in the employment contracts of senior executives where enforcement is still more likely to succeed, these days post-employment restraint clauses are largely included in an attempt to control the masses of poorly informed employees through the unjustified fear the clauses create.

              The Federal Government is still accepting submissions from the public on whether reform is needed until he end of May 2024: https://treasury.gov.au/consultation/c2024-514668

                @toasty:

                Generally, except in the employment contracts of senior executives where enforcement is still more likely to succeed,

                If I'm not wrong, TA was part of senior management as the chief customer officer (CCO), hence my initial question lol

  • cashless on 14/05/2024 - 09:40

    Great news TA, can't wait for the deals to come flooding in.
    Weirdly I just joined TCB the other day as it now seems to be the best option here in AU.
    I assume it will only get better now…..

    • easternculture on 14/05/2024 - 09:46
      +1

      I think SB is the best option at the moment. They have a better tracking backend and are backed by multi-billion dollar ventures.

      TCB is still in its infancy in Australia. They have issues with the tracking backend, even in the UK parent company according to reddit posts. And I believe they have no investors backing them which is not necessarily a bad thing.

      But regardless who they hire and the deals they offer , if they dont fix the small issues, they won't be sustainable in Australia

      • trixieb on 14/05/2024 - 10:13

        In my short experience, SB seems to be the best for gift cards and currently has the best deals (with the bank bonuses). However since the restructuring recently, SB has more tracking issues, still waiting to be resolved.

        CR probably has the best tracking but very few good deals since the change of gift card provider and absence of TA.

        TCB is new in Australia. I made very few purchases but still had tracking issues that were resolved slowly. Hopefully the company will evolve and TA can help to improve.

        • easternculture on 14/05/2024 - 10:19

          However since the restructuring recently, SB has more tracking issues, still waiting to be resolved.

          That doesn't make sense assuming that tracking is managed by software on shopback backend and affiliate network.

          I found that SB tracking is somehow correlated with the app not being updated (as they have frequent updates) and the wireless network you are using (some Router firmware acts like adblock software).

          • trixieb on 14/05/2024 - 10:32

            @easternculture: Yes, it's odd. Both tracking and T&Cs have been inaccurate with the change of staff.
            E.g. T&Cs on BWS offer. New GYB was alerted. They couldn't copy and paste accurately

            • easternculture on 14/05/2024 - 10:39

              @trixieb: Maybe next time try updating app beforehand and using mobile data to purchase. That seems to resolve all my tracking issues

              • trixieb on 14/05/2024 - 10:43

                @easternculture: Thanks, will keep that in mind. Usually use mobile data.
                One of the recent incidents (eBay) seem to have affected a lot of people and not easily fixed. GYB has replied the team is still looking into it.

      • HamBoi69 on 14/05/2024 - 10:23

        Bit weird coming from someone who is the top poster for the site.

        • easternculture on 14/05/2024 - 10:27

          Like I mentioned before in my comments and TCB rep, I still support TCB and my comments are my feedback to them so they hopefully they see it as constructive and improve but I still have mixed feelings so will see.

          I have limited my posts for TCB too until I see an improvement . For example, I was aware of the BWS 20% CB yesterday but didn't post it, offered it to a few other ozbargainer via pm but didn't make it to ozbargain

        • trixieb on 14/05/2024 - 12:03

    One thing I would like improved is viewing store clicks on mobile or the app (I believe the app just uses the web html view). On mobile you have to enable desktop mode to see the store clicks. You only get the tracked transactions on mobile/app.

      Not being sarcastic, but it's a Bandaid fix to bigger issues the company has with cashback tracking and customer support.

      It is a strategic move to make topcashback popular on ozbargain but I would be investing in network infrastructure to make tracking more reliable and your business sustainable in Australia.

      Anyways, hopefully we will see improvement, I still have faith. Will continue to support you guys in the background
