I've been looking at various tickets for travelling etc. Found the ones we wanted through klook at USJ went to go through cashback app and all charge heaps more using cashback even with getting cashback it works out your paying more than going through the site without cashback!? How is this allowed?
I don't know how to add screenshots but through cashrewards total was $561.76, through top cashback $578.68 and straight through the website $535, through shopback $543.80

there is no such thing as free shipping
What if the government ships it? /s
What if the government ships it?
Then the taxpayer is over paying for the shipping!!!
This has been going on for years. Nothing new here.

Ok, thanks, its the first instance ive come across it, ive probably never looked to compare either
Another reason I gave up on cashback websites. Between this and not having purchases tracked, I'd rather just wait till whatever I need is on special at a price I'm happy to pay.
This approach feels like leaving money on the table…
wait till OP finds out about incognito tab searches!
Different sites can offer different pricing, different conditions can offer different discounts. Cashback isn't 'free' money. Someone is paying for it at the end of the day.
Like booking direct with a hotel is cheaper than using a 3rd party website that takes a cut or free shipping, which there is no such thing as free shipping. Someone is paying for shipping costs.
Ok, so forgo the cashback and book direct.
