Indeed ….. what an exciting time to be alive.
I gave my reason the last time I negged. For exact same bargain. I can repase if needed
I can't believe mods aren't unpublishing these as joke posts! 75c per $100 is a minuscule discount, not a bargain.
Even the rep sees this is affecting his OzB royalty status and is too embarrassed to post these as deals.
Yeah he got pummelled last time they raised it.
dont forget its ebay who cut back the affiliate payment rate, nothing to do with cashrewards
Just bought something on eBay an hour ago @1.25% cash rewards, then I saw this… What a great year, 2017!
I feel your pain man.
What would you have spent that extra $0.75c out of $100 given to you in 2 months time on?
You'd find more cash looking in the glovebox.
I wouldn't bother if I just paid $100 and the rate went up 0.75%! You gotta think bigger, mate.
Btw, mathematically, it's 75 cents out of $100 NOT $0.75c! LOLAgain, you'd find more in loose change in your glove box than you'd get from CR, plus you have the money right there and then and don't have to wait 2 months for it.
Btw, mathematically, it's 75 cents out of $100 NOT $0.75c! LOL
Sorry, next time I'll write it and won't add in the 'c' at the end, was just trying to emphasis how little the amount back is, but should have known someone would be pedantic.
My bad! Stupid idea to argue with you! You have a good day!
What would you have spent that extra $0.75c out of $100 given to you in 2 months time on?
I'd spend $200 on something I was going to buy anyway, and buy 2 soft serves.
@Porthos:
Yeah I wouldn't. It would go towards my next egift voucher on discount to be used for opal topups, groceries and fuel..
Families are doing it tough. I can't have any avocado, let alone smashed.@cwongtech: You need to shop around more then if you think some discounted Woolies gift cards are the be all and end all of affording food and fuel.
An increase of .75%? That's far too generous.
There's nothing I need but for that pay back I'll have to find something!
Can someone please explain to me why this a deal?
Someone got CR's marketing email and then wants to get some credits from the community by posting it.
Same reason as last time. This is not a deal.
if any other store offered up 0.75% discount there would be uproar on here. How about we stop promoting mediocrity and get back to proper bargains. Or shall we all start posting 2% off deals and see how this site fares then?
I agree completely. It seems to me cashrewards gets a lot of "promotion" on here.
Hear hear. The previous fanbois must all be on hols.
sorry got no money

No way this is a deal. Let alone the extra 0.75%! Once transaction untrack (which happen often on ebay). then you already lose.

comment to just neg this deal
Shhhh, don't say CR doesn't track eBay purchases… if the CR shills hear you they'll rant on about how it can never miss and how it must obvously be your fault.

That's eBay's doing, not CR. If eBay allowed it then CR or any cashback site would most likely allow transaction enquiries for eBay. It's eBay that makes everyone jump through hoops.
Take a look at any other site you buy from through CR, the vast majority are tracked without issue and if it is not an enquiry is followed up successfully (100% success rate for me for enquiries) and your cashback is recorded.
So can you perhaps now open your eyes and see that EBAY IS THE PROBLEM HERE

comment to just neg this deal
Inappropriate use of a neg vote. But I guess you'd know that being a member since 2011? Oh, you don't.
Also, when did you last post us all a deal? Oh 2015.
Sign of another 15% eBay storewide coming? :D
15%?
I'm waiting for the 20% Good Guys :D
I'm still waiting for the 20% on Masters…
I appreciate finding out when Cash Rewards increases its eGift and eBay cashbacks, but it's beginning to look like a cheap way to get on the front page of OzBargain on a regular basis. Just keep increasing and reducing the cashback on a regular basis. Bingo. Top post and 100 comments every couple of weeks.
The politics of OzBargain. Isn't the original CashRewards OP a big poster of deals though ?.
Cheap advertising
0.75% increase again? It's starting to look more like spam/advertising at its regularity. Perhaps not a deal because it's 2% every other day.
And the $50max per transaction. So be sure not to spend over $2500 in a single transaction. So for all of you that upvote that this is an awesome deal on your gift cards, I'm still not convinced that an extra 75¢ off each $100 card is worthy of this floating to the front page.
And this will be interesting, as last time I said TA posting it sent it to front page. This is the same deal not posted by a well known OzB'er… let's see how it goes this time.
That's peanut discount. I'd rather have a 20% coupon code.
Not even a peanut
hmmm.. just spent 1400 yesterday and another 30 bucks today on ebay.
Same here with a lot more money spent, I can feel the pain.
Not really a deal
Cash rewards burnt me on a lenovo purchase but fair enough
The tables have turned now, when Cashback was a deal back then, but these stupid new users are all like "it's only 2% blah blah blah no discount blah blah not a bargain because I'm an idiot and can't realize a deal even when it's right in my face blah blah" Gosh, I hate these new users on the block who think that 2% back is not a deal, on some items you barely get discount.
It's 75 cents - 0.75%
0.75% is not a bargain. Spend $100, get an bonus 75 cents discount. Disgraceful.
What sort of person + votes on this deal? Why have you voted positive? So far, 3 hours after the deal has been posted nobody has given a reason why this is a deal? Why haven't any of the posters who have + voted this deal, commented?
Probably all new users who think this is Reddit.

What sort of person - votes on this "deal"? Circlejerkers?

eBay is known for being one of the largest places to find cheap prices on random items. Not sure how a tiny discount warrants a negative vote.
If eBay consecutively raised prices (like scumbag kogan always does during their participation in 20% off sales), then we should grab the pitchforks!!
But they haven't raised prices..Why haven't any of the posters who have + voted this deal, commented?
Most likely because they get negged to oblivion.
Guys, ease off with the negativity, OzBargain is about saving money.
That's 50 cents man. 50 cent a lot of money!No. OzBargain is about bargains. As in actual bargains. Not saving 75 cents when you spend $100. Otherwise there will be a new deal posted everytime IGA discounts a product by a few cents.
Well if its something that I would use (rice) or something everyone HAS to use with no choice and NEVER goes on discount, I would like to see it.
For example, wish egift cards.
I can use those to pay for opal topups, pay for food, groceries, fuel.
I can further wait until the desired items I need to buy go on special.
ANY discount is welcome on that. That of course is going to affect my life much more in savings over this deal, but that doesn't make the cashback increase any less relevant to me.
Your comment does not justify your neg vote. Perhaps you should read Neil's post.
Also, you're quick to neg everyone else, when did you last post a deal since you joined OzB because I certainly cannot see one.
Is this being begged because TA isn't the poster this time?
Lol TA gets negged too but positively spammed to compensate and then some. Feel sorry for OP tbh.
If it was TA he would get negged significantly more. Jumping on the bandwagon is a popular hobby for many people here.
I wonder why TA did not post this… Or maybe he did!
@stemcell:
Obviously he chose not to do it.
He would have known about the emails being sent it.
Duh.
No, TA didn't, another user did.
More to the point, let's focus on the deal rather making this personal.
If it was TA he would get negged significantly more.
Sheer numbers alone yes. But in terms of ratio he'd still come out way ahead.
Nonsense. TA has a large store of goodwill which most acknowledge, even those who negged his similar immaterial "deal". Ozbargain shouldn't be spammed with insignificant offers of .075c in the dollar. They are a dime a dozen as someone has pointed out. I see the same apologists have returned to this thread. Question - have you and would you upvote a deal saving 40c on say a $50 slab of beer?
Question - have you and would you upvote a deal saving 40c on say a $50 slab of beer?
Clearly not. Have I upvoted this deal?
@Clear: And yet you upvoted the same deal when posted by TA. A rethink on what conmstitutes a deal on OzB?
@Clear:As I said previously if saving 75c on a $100 is significant perhaps at least some of those people should rethink their discretionary purchasing and keep their hands off their wallets. We could have a thousand deals a day saving more than this with the result that Ozb would become a joke site.
@Clear: Lol, you may have confused yourself. TA posted both deals separately. The 15% off GCs was a significant deal, like most of his posts. His cashback post, like this one, was worth a ludicrous (in the context of Ozb deals) 0.075c in the dollar. Deja vu all over again.
@Possumbly: No confusion at all. His 2% cashback deal was good inconjuction with the gift card deal leading to a better saving.
very large Gift Card purchase.
Well over $100. There is no gift card deal so the 2% deal is no use for me.
So if there was a giftcard deal now which stacks on this then you would upvote this? Isn't the upvote on the giftcard deal alone enough based on principle that you're only voting on the deal itself not a combined deal? But anyway, at least you didn't neg is what it comes down to tbh.
The ebay cashrewards cashback is a joke. This increase to 2% is more of a joke. Stop advertising it please.
Members are reminded of the Voting Guidelines.
You can also block seeing stores such as Cashrewards by clicking the Hide button at the top of the deal.
So what you are saying is if you don't like it then Hide it because you are going to allow this thinly veiled advert to continue :(
You must have missed the link above, so again
Voting Guidelines.
If the deal doesn't apply to you, you don't like the company or you want to leave a warning for people about the business or deal, you can leave a comment and then not vote.
It's not up to moderators to determine what is a bargain and what isn't. This has been our policy for 10+ years.
The negativity seems to affect the same small group of vocal neg voters.
Maybe just don't participate in things that you don't like.
That's what the "no vote" action is there for. (although your neg vote related to untracked sale is possibly the ONLY valid reason to neg vote in this entire thread!)
This is why the CR rep didn't post it this time:
If the negative votes are cast against a deal posted by a rep, this will increase the time period between their next subsequent post.
Also mods, if you are going to quote the guidelines, why not enforce this:
Any negative vote that falls into any of these reasons will be revoked by a moderator. Negative votes for any other reason will not be removed by a moderator.
No explanation of the vote
“Not a bargain.”
“Agree”
“SPAM”
“I don't like this deal”
“I don't think it's a good deal”
“Ditto”
“lol”
“No deal”
“No Thanks”
“Not much of a bargain, a mere promotion.”
“This is marketing” or “Marketing”
“Weird looking website” (Nothing to do with the deal)
+1
“What's good about this”
“This is an awful deal”
2% not worth the hassle for puny return.
This is not a bargain, this is not special, this is just stupid. Free advertising once again for a dodgy company.
it's usually 1.25% so a hop to 2% could be enough to persuade some buyers to just buy even though it's small haha. Look on the positive side OP is trying to help ozB community
It's 75c per $100, if you are struggling for that amount of money, then maybe you shouldn't even have internet access to access eBay.
lol you negged me because you are looking at the upfront gains and not what the OP is trying to do. I hope the neg you gave to me and the OP made you feel like you have a purpose in life
So do you want to see 75c off on $100 purchase deals on ozbargain? You may still argue that OP is trying to help the community.
I dont think so.well if you added the usual 1.25% to it, that would make $2 off on the $100 purchase. it's not much but every bit counts when you are an online shopaholic. i prefer to see the positive side of what people have to offer. some people just want to see the world burn ;)
You may still argue that OP is trying to help the community.
I dont think so.Maybe someone was going to buy something off eBay, and this gives them a tiny bit of money back?
Not sure how OP isn't trying to help the community..It's a neg of the deal.. it's not a personal thing. Stop being so sensitive and attempting to ruin the voting system.
Used to be 2% normally.
So what's the current market best cashback rate for eBay apart from CashRewards that has been proven to work?**
Fuel used to be 90cpl 10 years ago. But I get excited when I see e10 for 114cpl in 2017.90 cents/L in 2006/2007 would've been a bargain, considering the national average was around 125 cents/L. What's your point?

90 cents/L in 2006/2007 would've been a bargain, considering the national average was around 125 cents/L. What's your point?
Don't ask for things that were "normal" in the past and use them for benchmarks in the current situation, where clearly we can't obtain 2% as a constant rate?
Used to be 2% normally.
4 sometimes 5%
So? Does that justify your neg vote. No it doesn't.
I think it does. If you're not convinced, let the community decide.
I think it does.
The appropriate uses of negative votes are as follows as defined by the mods:
-Cheaper price elsewhere
-Defective product
-Major issue with retailerNo deal should be a "No vote".
Do you guys even read the voting guidelines?You selected reason one. Where's your evidence?
If you're not convinced, let the community decide.
What community? The same neg voters from last thread? Casting negative vote on comments from everyone who attempts to bless us with some common sense, and positive vote other negative voters? Not exactly an open community now is it?Relevant

Same mob everytime. I bet if the rules were changed so that negative vote casts on comments were not anonymous, we would see the same users downvoting comments in this page.My vote would fall under "Major issue with retailer".
I'm sure you've been around long enough to know the history of Cashrewards eBay rates. Previously, 2% was considered normal; then it was raised to 4%; then it dropped to 1%, claiming that it wasn't viable (even though other competitors were offering higher rates). All of this would've been understandable; they're a business and businesses strive for profits.
A month later, they tried to generate positive PR by raising it back to 2% (which sounded permanent), saying crap like "our ultimate goal is to make you happy" but then decided to quietly drop it back to 1%.
Happy Friday!
We’ve been listening to everyone who’s been in touch with us - we love hearing all your feedback. We know you're upset about eBay, and so are we.
Our goal here at Cashrewards is to offer the best cashback rates on everything you buy online – we’re very passionate about this!
We’ve had a big chat and believe the best thing to do is up the eBay cashback to 2% from 6pm AEDT tonight.
This isn’t what we had initially planned, but our ultimate goal is to make you happy and offer the best cashback rates in Australia! This will cost us money in the process but we figure you're worth it!
Cashrewards has brought our game face back for 2016. It’s not even the end of January and we're already working extra hard to make the community super happy.
Keep on clicking on!
From the Cashrewards team
Get paid to shopNow, every time they raise the cashback by 0.25%, a deal gets posted. It's hardly a bargain but yet they gain a lot of publicity from the deal. Doesn't that sound like what we would consider as spam?

That happened eventually with other competitors, they were just slow to adapt.

Not if it helps OzB Members and visitors save money.
(which sounded permanent), saying crap like "our ultimate goal is to make you happy" but then decided to quietly drop it back to 1%.
Yet, this is how most companies do business now. Chip packets getting smaller, same box, less contents, sound familiar?
Because someone posts a woolies deal that it's 25% off, someone goes "oh wait, but it was at X price in 20XX.
Questions you should ask are: What's the current market best attainable price/rate?
Not what the historical low is. Otherwise we should be comparing current prices to firesales every time a woolworths owned/ex-owned company collapses.You'll be seeing my neg vote in any cash rewards so called deal, my explanation is in this thread, but thanks for trying to name and shame members which I might add is a new low.
Is this where the forum is going where you are tracked and grouped with others then targeted as a trouble maker of you don't go along with the sheep?.
If you are going to stalk me you could at least offer me some lollies.
Yet, this is how most companies do business now.
Does that really justify Cashrewards going back against their words?
Is that not neg-worthy?
Does that really justify Cashrewards going back against their words?
You guys really like silver spoons hey.
Is that not neg-worthy?
I think it warrants a no vote, not a neg.
The deal did not apply to me this time (last time I bought 15% off gift cards, look at the pitchforks in THAT thread before things were sorted), I don't think it's a deal for me.
I don't upvote it.
I also don't downvote itWe all have different opinions, that's why we're entitled to votes and comments, right?
Just because you don't agree with us doesn't mean we have to change to suit you.

We are entitled to comments.
Votes have a guideline to be followed.
Deal that doesn't apply to you, does not warrant a negative voteJust because you don't agree with us doesn't mean we have to change to suit you.
I don't agree with the pitchforks OzBargain members are always reaching for now. Just because you don't like CashReward deals - as mentioned by neils comment here
You can hide them so it doesn't annoy you. It's a small vocal minority.
I'm not sure why mods are not as strict as they should be, as 90% of the negative votes are related to "advertising" or "not a deal", they're extremely lenient these days with negative votes.Read the negative voting guidelines
Read the negative voting guidelines
I have. Read my comment.
My vote would fall under "Major issue with retailer".
I have. Read my comment.
So the issue is they dropped their rates because they couldn't keep the high cashback initially offered due to ebay reducing their cut?
And that they tried to generate positive PR by doing what everyone else does?It's hardly a bargain but yet they gain a lot of publicity from the deal. Doesn't that sound like what we would consider as spam?
Not sure how the above constitutes a negative vote.
If you said the tracking didn't work like stemcell says, then that's a different story.@cwongtech: I think the main fumes sometimes is that such deals sometimes get over 200 votes most of the times few like, "I saved $10 after buying $1000 gift card. Thanks OP". This times, few members were prepared to negg and Positives were missing due to the Poster being someone else.
I do agree that many of the -ve votes are not relevant. Best thing is that leave such deals without +ves. Though the trend recently on OZB has been strange where below ordinary deals will have huge hype and will show on 1st page.
