It feels great to get discounts on purchases you make online. But it’s even better if you get cashback from them too. And that’s where the Shopback app comes in.
What is Shopback?
Shopback is a cashback reward program that allows users to receive a percentage of their online purchases.
How does Shopback provide rewards?
Shopback earns from affiliate commissions when they direct users to the online platforms. In return, the users get a small percentage of the commissions that Shopback earns through their cash-back rewards. So it’s a win-win scenario.
So how does it work?
Instead of going directly to the app where you will make your online purchase, you need to open the Shopback app first and locate and open the online platform app where you intend to purchase an item. That way, the online platform will register the link where the user came from (in this case Shopback) and Shopback can track the purchase you’re going to make.
Who are the affiliate partners?
There are a lot of them. Here are some merchant partners:
How do I create an account?
You can simply download the app on your device by going to this Shopback link or by downloading it directly from Google Playstore or Apple Appstore.
If asked for a referral code, put: j9wAMW
Note: using my referral code will earn you Php 100 cashback after spending Php 300 on any of the affiliate shops.
You will need to verify your account via an OTP code that will be sent via SMS.
How much cashback can I earn?
That depends on the online platform and the product/service that you will buy/avail. Sometimes you may just get cents to a peso but there are cases where you can earn more.
Here are examples of possible cashback you can get when you go through Shopback when purchasing from Shopee:
When do I get credit for my cashback?
Once you purchase from an affiliate shop through Shopback, the transaction gets tracked. The merchant will need to confirm that the purchase is valid before you get credited the amount indicated as your cashback.
The confirmation period varies between merchants. Usually for Foodpanda and Grabfood, they get confirmed immediately after the transaction is completed. Whereas for Shopee, it takes 15 days for the transaction to get confirmed while roughly 20 days for Lazada. As for the case of Agoda, it may take 2 months.
Take note that not all tracked transactions will get confirmed. Some of them can get rejected. The reasons for rejection are the following:
- You canceled/refunded the purchase you made
- You didn’t actually proceed with the purchase but the transaction was tracked for some reason
- You haven’t paid for the purchase/service before the confirmation date – this could happen with bookings with Agoda (and other travel merchants) if you use their “Book now Pay later” option.
How do I withdraw the cashback I earned?
Once you have a minimum Php200 withdrawable amount, you can withdraw the said value to your designated bank account or e-wallet.
