Dear OzBargainers,

In the early days of our cashback website, we had a special "Founder Level" membership that gave Ozbargain members a super cashback rate.

As a thank you for the ongoing support of Ozbargain members, for the first time we are releasing a limited number of free upgrades to Founder Level. It’s only available to existing PricePal members (i.e. you need to have joined before today) and is on a first-come first-served basis - so get in quick :)

To register, simply:
1. Login to your PricePal account
2. Go to our contact us page - http://pricepal.com.au/contact
3. Select the Ozbargain Upgrade option and submit

You’ll receive an upgrade notification from us in the next 7 days if your account has been upgraded!

PS - some example Founder Level cashback rates:

  • Hotels.com: Our base White Level 3.00%, Founder Level 5.40%
  • LivingSocial: Our base White Level 3.50%, Founder Level 6.30%
  • DealsDirect: Our base White Level 2.50%, Founder Level 4.50%
  • David Jones: Our base White Level 3.50%, Founder Level 6.30%

    I love priecpal, it's easy to use and track your transactions. However, I still find CashRewards offer better rate with many stores when compared with the founder level.

  • neil on 24/09/2015 - 15:42

    I actually got downgraded from founder to white level (bug I think) when I signed in to Pricepal via Moneybackco/Starthere credentials last year. LOLed at the email:

    You've just been promoted to White level. From now on you'll receive even more cashback on your transactions.

    Full circle. Cheers.

    Reminded me of this

    • AssociatedPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 24/09/2015 - 16:11

      Sorry about that bug Neil - we'll make sure you get back to your original level

      • Neoika on 24/09/2015 - 16:20

        I remember one needs to achieve a certain amount of cashback p.a. to maintain this level.Is it true and what is the amount?

        • AssociatedPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 24/09/2015 - 16:26

          There is no minimum to maintain :) No other catches, just a straight member upgrade.

  • Lancerx on 24/09/2015 - 16:13

    I used to always use pricepal (actually since starthere), then switched to cashreward as everything got higher rebate from cashreward.

    Maybe now I'll jump the ship again ;)

  • ChickenTalon on 24/09/2015 - 16:15

    Not that I can take advantage of this offer, as I'd be a new subscriber. But how are they in-terms of actually paying out?

    Cashrewards is pretty sheit. I've had cashbacks go unpaid for over 8 months until i chase them. They eventually get paid, but it can be a pain emailing every time. Having said that, a quick check has cashrewards paying more (sometimes a lot) than then pricepal, unless you're a foundation member.

    • arcticmonkey on 24/09/2015 - 21:09

      Yeah Cash Rewards are horrendous at processing credit. Greater rates may be one thing but if you have to wait several months, it's worth switching to a more efficient referrer.

  • AshFon on 24/09/2015 - 16:29

    I guess they want to do survey on how many OZBarganiers use pricepal.

    Thanks hope I made the cut

  • MadMaxBargainRoad on 24/09/2015 - 16:40

    Is there a way to find out what the founder rate is for a store?

    • zzyss on 24/09/2015 - 16:47

      I think a general rule of thumb is that it's 20% more than the next level down. So if White is 1.5% then the Founder rate would be 1.8%. But don't quote me on that…

      • MadMaxBargainRoad on 24/09/2015 - 16:56

        Well if that's the case I would just stick with CashRewards

      • AssociatedPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 24/09/2015 - 18:48

        Hey, Founder would actually be 2.70% if White was 1.50%. Black would be 2.25%, which is the next level down from Founder.
        Basically, take the Black rate and multiply it by 1.20 to get the Founder rate :)

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 24/09/2015 - 18:51

          So I would still get the highest rate even if I'm only a white level member?

        • AssociatedPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 24/09/2015 - 18:55

          @maxhu: If you're a white member now and we upgrade you to Founder, you'll get the highest rate (i.e. the founder rate) - think that answers your question?

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 24/09/2015 - 19:00

          @PricePalTeam: yup. Now I just hope that I made it. Thank you for the information regardless. =)

      Pity you didn't "waste" those ten minutes reading the post.

  • zzyss on 24/09/2015 - 16:49

    As with everything, there's no one "best" option - I find that I use Cashrewards exclusively for eBay, but PricePal for most other things. Their tracking is no better/worse than any other, because it still relies on the exact same commission engines in the back end that process transactions for everybody. In my experience customer support has been equally good for both.

    • Charity on 24/09/2015 - 21:15

      what commission engine do they use?

      • zzyss on 27/09/2015 - 11:28

        No idea actually, but I assume they do due to the almost complete overlap in the retailers that they provide cashback for. Most likely candidate is APD Group (previously Commission Monster).

  • mrshorty on 24/09/2015 - 16:59

    is diamond or founder level higher?

    • AssociatedPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 24/09/2015 - 17:01

      Founder is higher - it goes: White, Gold, Diamond, Black, Founder (Founder level is hidden and hasn't been released for over 3 years)

  • pyramid on 24/09/2015 - 17:02

    Whats difference between Black and Founder level?

    • AssociatedPricePalTeam @ PricePal on 24/09/2015 - 17:04

      Cashback rates for founder on average are 20% better than Black - that's not +20% but x20% :) E.g. instead of 7.5% you'd get 9.0%

      • pyramid on 24/09/2015 - 17:05

        How do i know if i have been accepted as founder member?

      Sorry, please check your fact before you post. Yes, ebay still 0.5% lower, but places like strawberryNET where my wife gets her cosmetics all the time is now 13.5% (from 7.5%) compared to standard 8% from cashreward..massive 5% jump! bravo!

      I guess I probably still gonna use cashreward for most of my ebay purchase ( if only pricepal could just increase ebay to 2.5% and It would be so much easier for me) wink wink

    • Neoika on 24/09/2015 - 18:59

    I gotta say although PricePal has a lower base rate than CashRewards, the referral bonus makes it higher, about 1.5x-1.8x the amount of CR. Although it is a hassle to recruit people, I don't think I will be running out of the referral bonus anytime soon.

    • Neoika on 24/09/2015 - 19:37

      Right,and if Ozbers recommend Pricepal more than Cashrewards,more people will join through the referral system which gives the lucky dog bonus.

      Hey - we're sorry about the missing cashback for hotels.com, unfortunately this happens from time to time (it's a common issue for all cashback sites, both here in Oz, and even for the huge cashback sites in the US)… unfortunately the retailers can have tracking issues with their site. But you're able to submit a missing cashback request with us - or email us the transaction details at [email protected] and we'll try to track down the cashback for you.
