Not sure if StG, BoM, BSA have a cap as don't have access to that.
This beats all current offers for hotels that I've found albeit you have to wait a long time (120 days after your trip) for the cashback.
$30 for referrer, $5 for referee after referee qualifies.

Users will need to fulfil the referral criteria within 180 days from referee's sign-up date to unlock cashback. See all terms
Expedia's prices are the same. I believe that happens with Agoda.
noticed it on all of them in the past
OK, have checked and some hotels do have different prices.
Random search for hotels, incognito (1/7-2/7):
Nadi - Fiji Gateway $315 - (Same price after Shopback)
NY - Millenium $379 - ($421 with Shopback)
Sydney - Ibis Styles - $190 (Same price after Shopback)
@neil: done some checking, definitely not as bad as booking & agoda, but always worth checking prior & seeing competitors prices, usually find agoda has best prices but surge the price when using cashback offers
this does happen on expedia 100%
$180 cap ruins it.
I was ready to cancel my booking and reorder at 18%
I think it was 13% uncapped before this deal started which would end up better for bookings over $1500.
Totally agree - I was totes ready to go, no cap.
FYI the bank bonus does not apply for “pay later” reservations (but the standard 17% still does)
where do you see this? I'm looking at one which is non-refundable but says "pay later"
I asked @gotyourback directly
Yes, that’s correct @star-ggg the Bank Bonus doesn’t apply to “pay later” reservations, but the standard 17% cashback still applies. Let me know if you have any other questions!
the cap is per transaction not per account?
Yup, I booked two and had individual cashback tracked.
It might track initially but then not pay out over the total cap after being confirmed. We need to check with the ShopBack rep @gotyourback
Does anyone know whether Westpact charges an international fee for the booking process in AUD via Expedia?
I made a purchase today with my debit card and don’t see any fees (yet). Will report back when it settles. According to this international fees only apply for transactions made in foreign currency.
According to their website, "Transactions made in foreign currency, and the merchant or financial institution is located outside Australia" the second clause that concerns me. Once, Westpac hit me with the international fee after the transaction was clear so it might takes a while for the fee to appear
My understanding is that there are two conditions for the fees to apply:
1. Transactions made in foreign currency, and
2. the merchant or financial institution is located outside Australia
Out of which (1) doesn’t apply here. Though I guess we’ll have to see!
BOM bank bonus capped at $80.
does it track with Expedia app?
Yes but you will need to go from Shopback app store first.
Booked 5 nights but cashback only tracked for 1..
Was your card charged for 1 night or 5?
There is this:
Your Cashback may be tracked at a different rate initially and adjusted to the correct rate when we confirm the transaction details.
I paid for all 5 nights upfront. Have to wait and see what happens, I booked with free cancellation just in case
Great deal. Both bank and standard cashback tracked about 10min after purchase.

always check prices before clicking through shopback/cashrewards, usually they surge 10% once activated, & check competitor sites
