Can be found under “For You” if targeted. This should be able to stack with 10% Cashback on $50-$500 Uber Eats Gift Cards.

Terms and conditions
This promotion is open to members who have successfully activated the bonus offer within their Cashrewards account (Eligible Entrants). To qualify for the $5 bonus, Eligible Entrants must purchase a gift card from the Cashrewards Gift Cards store between 25 June 2025 12am AEST and 26 June 2025 11:59pm AEST with a minimum spend of $50 (incl. GST) on a single eligible purchase (Qualifying Purchase). A Qualifying Purchase excludes the purchase of gift cards directly from a merchant store. Eligible Entrants may track the progress of the bonus at any time on the For You page in the Cashrewards website or app. Bonus will only appear under My Rewards, and be paid into the Eligible Entrant's Cashrewards account, after the associated Qualifying Purchase is approved by the store. Cashrewards Terms of Use apply to the use of the Cashrewards platform and any associated purchase. Bonus is limited to one per Cashrewards account and is over and above the advertised store cashback rates which still apply to the purchase. Additional purchases do not qualify for additional bonuses. Fraudulent or other activity in violation of the Cashrewards Terms of Use will result in rewards being forfeited and accounts closed.

    Thanks worked.

    Activation Required

    Whenever I visit the direct link to these recent CR promos, they all seem to already be "Active". Confuses me.

    • +1

      Clicking the offer in the For You section to bring up the description also activates the offer.

      When I navigated there it wasn't activated but when I clicked to view terms it was now active.

    Does purchasing a Amazon $50 gift card qualify?

  • Didn’t seem to need activation and already activated somehow. Bought $50 Amazon gc and the $1 cb got tracked but NOT the $5 bonus. Something wrong perhaps? Usually they track immediately

    • +1

      Bonus will only appear under My Rewards, and be paid into the Eligible Entrant's Cashrewards account, after the associated Qualifying Purchase is approved by the store

      • Not expected it to be paid now, but more like being tracked first like in the past. Unless they've changed things.

        • They have changed things. This whole ‘For you’ page has resulted in these sorta Cashback often appearing approved in your account after criteria is met (skips the pending stage).

  • Thank you OP.

    Sorry, you are not eligible for this promotion.

    Bummer :(

    Bought a $50 Amazon gc - only the $1 cb tracked so far :(

      Same here

    • waiting to find out if this has been resolved before buying an amazon gc

    Sorry, you are not eligible for this promotion.

    Woot got it!

    EDIT: I have 2 of these deals? One expires on 26th the other 30th… wonder if they are stackable haha

    • +1

      The one for the 30th for me says in the terms it’s only for Bunnings, JB Hi Fi and AmpolCash. But I do wonder if it doubles up!

      • Good pick up on the selected gift card haha

    Sorry, you are not eligible for this promotion.

    No Coles gift cards anymore? Can't find it under gift cards.

    • +2

      Cashrewards stopped selling Coles gift cards when they changed operators for their gift card portal in late 2023.

      • +2

        Dang, thanks for the info! I must have been getting them from SB.

    • Get the Cashrewards Liquor Gift Card, go to liquorland and use it to buy a physical Coles gift card, problem solved.

      • You have done this?

        • +1

          many times and less than an hour ago as well

    Are there any gift cards for EBay?

  • Thanks OP. This time it worked.

  • Thanks. Got a 7/11 fuel card.

  • +6

    The bonus $5 is not showing under my rewards after gift card purchase, only normal tracking.

    • +2

      Same. Definitely activated but isn't showing up after a qualifying purchase

    • +3

      Has the standard cashback been approved? The terms of this offer says you will not see the bonus cashback at all until after the standard cashback has been approved:

      Bonus will only appear under My Rewards, and be paid into the Eligible Entrant's Cashrewards account, after the associated Qualifying Purchase is approved by the store.

      When I last participated in a bonus cashback offer for gift cards (in May), the bonus cashback did not appear on my account until the standard cashback was approved.

      • +2

        standard cashback is tracked but not approved. In the past they would've showed the bonus as well together with the standard cashback as being tracked at least. Will wait and see then.

      • +2

        Clicked on the email link and bought a $50 card yesterday. As of 5 min ago, the standard cash back now shows as approved. However, the elusive $5 bonus still is not showing up at all. Under the 'For You' section, the bonus still shows as active.

        • +1

          SAME!

        • An Update: Before I could lodge a complaint with Cash Rewards, I received an email today acknowledging a problem and saying that the $5 will be added. It now shows as pending on my rewards page. 😃

    • Same, only normal tracking is showing for me. And if I go to the "For You" section, the bonus is listed under "Ended" but not "Approved." How is it for everyone?

      • yes same, it just says 'ended' :(

  • +4

    The status is still active after purchasing the gift card. It turns to pending approval last time. Anyone have the same issue?

    • +1

      Same with mine.

      • +1

        same

    • +1

      Same, end on 30th is immediately turns to pending but this bonus still in the active.

  • Skip I know it don't bother checking 😂

  • got a CWH card. thx OP

  • Got 7/11 gc but the bonus aint tracked..

  • Same here, original cashback tracked but not the bonus.

    Terms says "Bonus will only appear under My Rewards, and be paid into the Eligible Entrant's Cashrewards account, after the associated Qualifying Purchase is approved by the store.".

  • Bought the 7 eleven gift card and having issue adding to my Google wallet.. Who should I contact? Cashreward or Blackhawk?

    • last time i bought 5 and 2 would not load to my phone and I grabbed my wife's phone, and voila. not sure why!

      • It works! Thanks.

  • Not eligible this time.

  • +1

    Just got UE approved but nothing for bonus $5. Anyone got bonus tracked?

    • Same for me.

    • Same.

    • Same yep. I double checked - the "Gift cards EOFY June Promotion" is active in my account.
      My Amazon gift card purchase is approved but no bonus $5 showing - pending or otherwise.

    • Same the $5 bonus isn't showing. Only the $1 is showing approved but no sign of the $5

    • +1

      I just got an email saying cashback was approved for the gift card, but $5 bonus isn't tracking yet. The For You page still says Active for the offer rather than Pending Approval or Approved

      • +1

        Same here.

        I activated the bonus offer in the email, I also made sure it was activated in the Cashrewards app prior to making the giftcard purchase of $50. The $2 from the PlayStation Store Gift Card worked, but unlike previous times where as soon as I activate the bonus it appears as pending in the account, there's no sign of it this time. The regular cashback has been approved. No mention of the bonus cashback still.

        Still showing "Active" in the For You section of the app.

        Even the email I received about the regular cashback looked weird…

        Yay! Your cashback from your null purchase is now approved.*
        Store null
        Date of purchase 25 Jun 2025

    • Same here

    • I've just purchased Ampol GC and the promo has changed status to "Pending Approval". Hopefully CR will sort it out for everyone.

      • And now status of both (standard and bonus) has changed to approved.

        • The promo says Ended for me and it hasn't tracked it in the My Rewards page.

          • @lint: That's unfortunate. You'll probably need to submit an enquiry.

  • -1

    negative ^

  • i bought my gift card yesterday, approved for normal cashback but till today still no bonus in my account . Anyone still has same issue as mine one day later?

  • I'm pretty sure there's 2 promo.
    1. "targeted" - for any 50 gift cards
    2. "all" - for Bunnings, JB Hi Fi and AmpolCash

    My friend got the email, so she got the targeted promo.
    But that wasn't the case for me.

    That's probs why some people aren't getting the instant tracking after the amazon gift card purchase.

    • some people aren't getting the instant tracking

      No one is getting their transaction instantly tracked

    • +1

      Yeah I'm in Category 2.

  • $1 was APPROVED, but no $5 showing anywhere. Any rep here could give us an explanation of this?

    • Cashrewards doesn't have a rep here for 2+ years.

    • Same here

    • Same, still waiting for the illusional $5 buckeroo.

    • Same, no $5

  • Expire 30th one already approved.
    But this 26th one still in active status.
    I purchased 2 X $50 bunnings gc separately.
    I made query about it yesterday, still waiting answers.

    • same here, bought gift cards yesterday, but no $5 bonus tracked yet.

    • Does your bunnings gift card have pin on them?

      Can I use a Bunnings Gift Card to purchase Bunnings Marketplace products?

      Traditional Bunnings Gift Cards (those without a 4-digit PIN) cannot be used to purchase products on Bunnings Marketplace. Reducing Balance Bunnings Gift Cards (those with a 4-digit PIN) can be used online, including for Marketplace purchases.

      • +1

        No, bring it to in-store then exchange to bunnings plastic GC. Plastic GC has pin number on back side.

        • Great idea. Thanks

  • Yep same. Got the target email. Activated bought card. Got the approved for GC cashback email this morning but no bonus. Came here to see if it was just me - I see it's not 😳

    • +1

      same here with me! still waiting.. got the cashback approved today, but no signs of bonus yet.

  • +2

    NOTHING!!!!

    Th cashback has been approved but no sign for $5???

  • This has been happening regularly with Cashrewards since they changed to this "For You" promotions.
    Give it a couple of days and it usually tracks or if it hasn't by Monday, just contact them.
    I'm surprised I am the first to mention it as this has been a regular occurence for months now…🤔
    I could find a ton of posts with the same flood of these responses in the thread. Its just how it is now, best you can do is go elsewhere or just accept it 👍
    Here is just one example :
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/902201

    • I skimmed through some of the comments there and they had the bonus cashback marked Approved but didn't have it show up in My Rewards. That seems to be a different situation to me and what looks like a lot of other people here, where the bonus cashback never changes status from Active (and now says Ended).

  • Gift card bought and tracked - no bonus yet

  • The normal cashback (2%) was tracked and approved, but not the bonus.

    Previously when I checked if I was targeted, the For You page had the offer as active so I thought it would just be added automatically. I’ll give it 1 more day and then send them a message.

  • +1

    Same here. Standard CB approved but bonus nowhere to be found. Is there a Cashreward rep here we can tag?

    • No rep listed under cashrewards page so will just need to wait and see what happens =/

  • +1

    This is annoying this should have tracked like the old system they had and already been approved. I hate having to keep tabs on this stuff, worse making claims.

  • +1

    Mine has moved from "active" to "expired" with no sight of the $5 bonus. CR has gone from bad to worst.

    And it's so lame you have to wait 7 days before you can initiate a request for help.

    • I also mentioned this above, but similar situation for me. If I go to the "For You" section, the bonus is listed under "Ended" (same as "expired"?) but not "Approved."

      • Same deal here. I've been preferring Shopback over Cashrewards for regular cashbacks if the cashback amount is similar for a while now. Shopback is a lot quicker with tracking a purchase and I've had a lot more problems with Cashrewards either not tracking a purchase or inexplicably denying some that should be eligible.

        It's disappointing to see they can't even manage to track purchases from their own platform properly and further dissuades me from using them in most instances.

        • Yeah I've been having more issues with cash rewards than other the other companies. Also unable to withdraw at the moment because it won't send me an activation code. Had the same issue half a year ago, which was resolved, but the agent this time hasn't done anything since initially replying.

  • My bonus is now approved and available to withdraw.

  • +2

    Cashreward got back to me and said they're investigating this issue.

    • They better do it right, otherwise they are losing many of us here.

  • This is going to get confusing, got targeted with another $5 bonus this time with $20 min spend. I activated offer and it says pending. I hope they don't confuse new bonus with old one…lol

    • I got that new offer too, but I'm not sure I'll bother without a resolution to this one. It's like they sent it as a taunt. Remember your $5 cashback? Do you dare try it again and risk getting burned again?

      EDIT 11:15am 27/06: The $5 bonus for this deal just showed up in My Rewards as Pending. Dunno if it required manual staff intervention for affected customers to get it going, someone here said CR were looking into it. I was going to wait till next week to contact them.

    • Got it as well and certainly won't do anything until this current one gets sorted.

      The $20 min for $5 deal does it apply to buying GCs as well? Didn't say GC is excluded so I assume its ok?

  • Approved and withdrawn already. Didn’t realise others are having issues with this until I read a comment in the new $5, spend $20 deal

  • No $5 bonus this time. Got $1 tracked but no $5 bonus (in for-you, it said ended - not approved).
    What should I do now? Just wait or get in touch with CR.

  • $5 has tracked this morning 👏
