IMPORTANT: Please click the link below to ensure you have activated the offer prior to shopping:

https://www.topcashback.com.au/bonus/sept-2025-optin-5-new/

I initially provided the "opted in" link in error for the first two hours of the promo, so please check again and ensure you're actually opted in to the bonus, even if you already shopped after my post. Thank you as always!


Hi everyone and happy Monday! If you haven't joined TCB, do so today to enjoy the most generous everyday cashback rates and a highest cashback guarantee! We have heaps of awesome increases on and plenty of new ones coming up, so please browse the site prior to buying.

Today we're offering a $5 bonus when you shop and spend at least $20 in a single transaction at any of our online retailers (*excluding VPN retailers). Ensure you first activate the bonus, then check the terms for your retailer of choice prior to clicking/tapping the pink cashback button as each may have specific conditions around code use, purchase or use of gift cards, product exclusions etc. Some examples here:

  • Amazon has all categories eligible for cashback & bonus (see terms on retailer page).
  • Use of any eBay coupon codes will be ineligible for cashback & bonus (see terms on retailer page).
  • AliExpress affiliated products only are eligible for cashback & bonus (see terms on retailer page).
  • Retailers like BIG W & Woolworths have minimum spend requirements (see terms on retailer page).

Promo ends 23:59 AEST Tuesday (09/09/2025).

Thanks for your support as always 🙏
Stay safe, and enjoy 😊


Please read the following terms & handy tips carefully:

1. To participate in the $5 bonus cashback promotion, you must first be a member of TopCashback.com.au and must activate the offer prior to making a single eligible transaction of $20 or more through one of our retailers.
2. After activation, transaction must be made between 18:00 AEST (08/09/2025) and 23:59 AEST (09/09/2025).
3. Cashback is eligible at any retailer advertised (*excluding VPN retailers) on TopCashback, provided the terms for that retailer are adhered to. Use of any codes not listed on TopCashback will invalidate the offer.
4. Your order must be made in a single transaction and may contain more than one item, but the order total must be at least $20 (inclusive of GST, and excluding shipping). Some retailers report orders excluding GST so the amount shown in your TopCashback account may be less than $20 (this is acceptable). Multiple items in an order may report as separate items in your account for retailers such as Amazon & eBay (this is acceptable).
5. The bonus cashback will show as a separate entry in your TopCashback account once your order tracks, and will be payable once your order is payable. Tracking is not instant and may take up to 7 days to report.
6. The bonus cashback is over and above any retailers' advertised cashback rates.
7. Tell-a-Friend, sign-up bonuses, free cashback retailers and new member deals will not count as a purchase towards the bonus cashback.
8. Only one TopCashback.com.au account per person is allowed, and bonus cashback is limited to one per TopCashback member.
9. The bonus cashback may not automatically apply to purchases where a missing cashback claim needs to be lodged. If this is the case and your claim is successful, you may need to raise a separate support ticket to be awarded the bonus.
10. Do not lodge a missing cashback claim until at least 7 days have passed.
11. TopCashback will not be held responsible for any technical failure or otherwise which prevents participation in this promotion.
12. Where a contradiction exists between the offer terms & conditions and TopCashback terms & conditions, the offer terms & conditions take precedence until the offer expires.
13. Any fraudulent activity will result in rewards being forfeited and accounts closed.

Handy tips:

Tracking can take anywhere up to 7 days, depending on retailer. For tracking success, disable/remove all 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 TopCashbackAU as tracking will be lost. TopCashbackAU must be the very last click/tap prior to purchase. Try our iOS/Android mobile app for improved tracking results. Use our contact form here for any questions or issues. Claims can be submitted here.

    feeling any schadenfreude today my cheek clenching friend?

      I've just seen the email from Cashrewards. Perfect opportunity to snaffle their members.

      • Must be a targetted email. I still have not received such communication.

      I suspect to the tune of $5…not complaining though 😂

      I think we all need to remember there are real people (and friends) affected and hurting from today’s news. Having spent so much time at CR, I feel for every one of them and wish them nothing but the best.

      • What happened at CR? I was so shocked when I logged on actually.

        • +37

          ANZ happened. They bought cashrewards with no idea of what to actually do with it. It faded into irrelevance because it was ignored by it's owner.

          Rather than fix something that they had no idea how to operate and grow in the first place, they just moved on and closed it.

            • +3

              @King Steuart: Pending cashbacks will be approved Thurs Sept 11 if you read the emails.

              • -1

                @scrimshaw: Pending cashbacks will be approved or declined by Thu 11th Sep, any still pending after that will be automatically approved.

                  @wavesgreen: @scrimshaw

                  Pending cashbacks will be approved or declined by Thu 11th Sep

                  How hard is it to actually read these days? It's quite clearly stated:

                  Recent transactions will continue to track and be approved or declined in the next 3 days. All transactions that are pending as at Thursday, 11 September 2025 will be approved and then you will be able to withdraw your cashback.

                    @KangaDrew: This is not the thread for ongoing debate of this topic, I was pointing out that CR can decline all pending cashbacks before Thu 11th Sep if they so desire. This possibility gets overlooked when people just post the 'approved' part.

                      My bad, I wasn't aware you were the self-imposed Thread Captain 🫡

                      Bottom line, you tried to correct someone with incorrect wording… and were then corrected yourself. Move along Capitan.

              • @scrimshaw: Wait and see then

          The nature of capitalism 🤬 companies are worth close to nothing yet are valued excessively and then money just seems to materialise into an owners pocket from somewhere. - any one who negs this comment with a non genuine ideologically response will pay! …

  • What if I bought Amazon gift cards? Even if it tracks 0, would I get the bonus?

    • You mean buying Amazon gift cards at Amazon, right?

      • Yea. I think this would work at sb. But idk about top cb

        • +2

          From the Amazon page T&C: 'Cashback is ineligible on purchase of gift cards'

    • +1

      Cashback is ineligible on purchase of gift cards, vouchers, Kindle Unlimited, Audible, mobile apps, Amazon Prime subscriptions & renewals, Amazon Haul purchases, bulk orders, commercial or reseller purchases.

  • +1

    Subscribe and save at Amazon eligible?

    • +2

      Second and subsequent Subscribe & Save orders are ineligible for cashback (only first Subscribe & Save orders in eligible categories are eligible).

  • +1

    Cashrewards who?

  • +1

    Somehow I can see why CR is closing.

    Thanks TA!

    pls bring Patagonia to Topcash back. Started to be listed at CR last month and not listed on SB yet.

    • myprotein any good ? aminoz getting too expensive for me

      • +1

        i been using them on and off for few years and have no cause for complaints. I usually consume Unflavoured WPI and have ordered the same from both Aminoz and MyProtein in past and got similar results from both.

    Pour one out for our old homie CR

    Hollow Knight Silksong (Steam Key) is $29,50 on Loaded.com (used to be called CDkeys.com), so if you were planning to buy the game on steam but can't wait for a sale, get this to complete the $5 cashback challenge.

    • Nothing like a cheap grey market (or black market via cc fraud) key :p

    The plot thickens

    Looks like TA was responsible for delivering a world of hurt on CR, at least 97 people believe so

    What a way to make an impression. Eofy bonus and pay rise earnt!

  • Thank you TA, we <3 you TA!

    Amazon makes these easy, toilet paper anyone?

    • +1

      Toilet paper is expensive today. Don't give in to the euphoria over the dead corpse of CR.

      • +1

        It's the normal sale price, this bonus ends tomorrow so if you have nothing else to buy it's an easy option.

        I don't think anyone is happy we have less competition.

    Welcome back TA :)

      Back from where?

    Celebration by TA and TCB?

    Very sad to hear about CR. Their cashback approvals were insanely quick compared to TCB and SB. Oh well.

    For the folks asking what happened to CR, have a look at /r/auscorp on any thread discussing ANZ

    No way CR was going to survive that

    I suspect this may have been asked before but would this work on an UberEats pre-order for the weekend?
    and then what if UberEats has a promotion like $15 off $50 for a specific store, but no specific coupon code is entered?

  • Oh well, another Aliexpress 'Bundle-Deal' order on the way, lol

  • +5

    @tightarse please add booking.com, it's still a glaring omission from TCB. Thanks!

  • Thanks TA love the Bonus

  • Lost some confidence in TCB - last AliExpress sale has been a debacle with claims (despite being valid) missed, being disputed and/or responses from customer support not forthcoming after over a week. Caveat Emptor.

    • +1

      I have some good news for you.. i had the same issue… i submitted a missed claim and it took 1 month for a reply saying it was found and a request was sent to AliExpress.. and another 3 months for Aliexpress to accept and amount showed up in my account.. $28 cashback from buying a AMD Ryzen 7700 for $220 it wasnt pending and was eligible for withdrawal right away. I did not like that it took forever and i thought i was never going to see it but to my surprise it one day just popped up. I had to submit the proof with invoice and everything on the online missed cashback form. Was easy !

      • Cheers…. that does give hope! Due to the hassle of ordering multiple items (or more to the point… raising claims for them), I think I'll keep it to a single big ticket item in future… it should have been about $50 over a bunch of items, but I've focused my efforts on at least getting $35 for the 2 most expensive purchases.

  • Any upgraded referral promo @tightarse?

  • +4

    I previously used opted in link and made purchase at Amazon. I have now activated the promo after seeing the updated post - hopefully the cash back will be honored.

    • +7

      Please don’t worry. Any issues, we’ll fix them. If your bonus doesn’t trigger after the order tracks, just message me. Please do make sure however that your bonus has since been activated as stated in the OP.

      • Cheers TA, expect nothing less from you. You have set your standard quite high 😁

      • In the same boat as @IMadeYouReadThis (order from Amazon, activated after reading the revised post) so this is reassuring to hear.

        • Now tracked correctly.

      • Lucky I happened to view this post again.. Had also clicked the original link yesterday (did think it was odd we didn't have to click an activate button) and purchased from Amazon today before seeing it again.

        Activated now, will see how it goes once it's tracked overnight. Thanks TA.

        • Bonus tracked ok

    • Yes in the same boat. I have activated the promo now few after clicking on opted in link and placing my order, hopefully it works

  • TA Any chance of new deals on VPN cashback?

    • +1

      Private Internet Access is currently 100%, but please note this bonus cannot be used for any VPN purchases.

      • Yes sir, not looking to bundle this with that, just hoping for Nord or ExpressVPN deals

  • +1

    Are there any retailers where you can buy giftcards?
    Looks like Amazon is a no go.

  • +2

    what you all buying?

    • +1

      i bought a book
