Hi all. Another nice offer from Cashrewards. You must click through this link or the main link in the post and exit via Shop Now. Do not leave the Microsoft page until your purchase is complete. Please note that tracking for Xbox/Microsoft is notoriously slow. I made a test purchase on Friday and received the tracking email today (48 hours) so please be patient. Further, if you wish to purchase more than once (with multiple cashback) ensure you click back through Cashrewards Shop Now with each new purchase. Offer ends 11:59PM AEST July 31. And thank you for your ongoing support. Enjoy :)

There is no discount on purchase when you buy as gift, although cashback still applies.

A small education piece:

Please always ensure your last click before purchase is from Cashrewards. Simply click Shop Now and complete your shopping without leaving the Microsoft site. A lot of untracked claims come from the fact members have other tabs open and/or are using Google or comparison sites to review their product/s before purchase. All cashback/rewards sites work off a simple principle - last click. The winning affiliate is always the one that receives the last click. Also turn off any AdBlock/uBlock/Ghostery as well as Safari (mobile and/or desktop) Cross-Site Tracking. Finally, you must return and click through from Cashrewards to the store every time you make a new transaction/purchase.

    Is it a code that's sent or does it get applied straight to your account? Asking as I am buying two lots, once for 2 consoles with my account and another for our 2 kids who share and gifting removes the discount.

    • aussman on 29/07/2018 - 12:10

      Click buy as gift to get code

      • MaximumEffort777 on 29/07/2018 - 12:11

      Straight to your account.

    • vickers on 29/07/2018 - 17:20

      Have you tried setting up family sharing? I have 2 consoles and only 1 subscription on the parent account. We can play online together and any downloaded games can be installed on both consoles. For games installed from disc, each console needs the disc so I tend to download instead

      • MaximumEffort777 on 29/07/2018 - 17:25

        I already have that set up between two consoles but in the next two weeks another two consoles will be added.

  • pw2002au on 29/07/2018 - 12:10

      I think the 3mth discount will only apply to new accounts, not accounts that have ever had a Live sub previously.

    • dins on 29/07/2018 - 13:02

      If you have gone through CR properly the $15 should show up in your CR account. From there you can withdraw it to your bank account or PayPal.

      Note that it isn't an instant $15. You'll probably be waiting around until end of October for the cashback to be available for deposit.

    Anyone tried buying "as a gift"? Price jacks up to RRP when I do this.

    If you don't buy as a gift, do you get issued the code or does it go directly onto your Xbox Live account?

      Applied directly to your XBL account

    Cash rewards hasn't tracked anything I've bought through their links. Just a waste of time.

    • Scab on 29/07/2018 - 14:40

      Then you're doing it wrong.

      All my purchases have tracked and the only ones that didn't were Uniqlo, which are always slow, and I contacted CR and they immediately credited my account.

      • Peanutbutterjelly69 on 29/07/2018 - 15:05

        That's just been my experience with Microsoft store. Just realised you can submit an inquiry. Hopefully my experience is similar to yours.

    • Clear on 29/07/2018 - 14:42
      +1

      Really? Everything has always tracked me for me. I guess you're doing it wrong. The easy trick is click through from CR, search for the product, add to cart, checkout and pay.

      Making sure not to click on other tabs, clicking on other websites or even clicking out of the browser to another application.

      Most of the time it's because of adblock, so be sure to disable browser extensions including uBlock, Adblock, noscript and Ghostery. AVs blocking/removing tracking cookies will block the tracking too.

    • prxy on 29/07/2018 - 15:35

      Don't know why you're being negged.

      In the last 3 months or so i'm experiencing the same issue. Every 4th or 5th transaction isn't being tracked. I wonder if they've changed something at CR?

      I'm a cash-back veteran and don't make any rookie mistakes re multiple tabs open, always click out re cash-rewards, don't pre-load shopping carts, only use approved coupon codes, don't click out of the browser or ads, have a browser without any extensions ie ad block just for cash-back sites etc.

      Prior to the last 3 months everything tracked fine.

      To their credit after providing proof CR have always re credited my account but this process is getting old fast!

      I've been experimenting with Shopback lately and every single transaction has been tracked like CR used to for me, but their long redemption times put me off.

      • Clear on 29/07/2018 - 16:48

        I wonder if they've changed something at CR?

        Tracking is done by the affiliate network the merchant is using. So there would be no difference in going CR or SB.

        • prxy on 29/07/2018 - 16:59

          Well something is different as all the Shopback tracking is working without fail.

          As i mentioned i'm not a rookie and the system is the same: same OS, browser, and click procedure I outlined above etc.

          The only variable or difference is whether i'm clicking out from Cashrewards or Shopback.

          And also only in the last 3 months or so?

        • Clear on 29/07/2018 - 17:04

          @prxy: Retailers switched affiliate networks perhaps. The one Groupon use are very bad at tracking.

        • prxy on 29/07/2018 - 17:15

          @Clear:

          Could be but i'm also going to the same retailers like eBay etc.

          I'll complete one transaction with cashrewards and then a couple of minutes later do another one (different item) with shopback at the same retailer as a test.

          In the last 3 months or so the same result. Shopback is always tracking and Cashrewards misses every 4th or 5th transaction without fail.

        • Clear on 29/07/2018 - 17:16

          @prxy: So basically in your test the last click is becoming Shopback and that's where the commission is going.

        • prxy on 29/07/2018 - 17:27

          @Clear:

          No I told you i'm not a rookie two separate transactions.

          Open Browser.
          Delete browser data: cache, cookies etc.

          1) login to Cashrewards click out to eBay, add item A to cart complete purchase.

          This should have completed the tracking procedure for Cashrewards!

          Delete browser data: cache, cookies etc.

          Close browser.

          Open browser.

          2) login to Shopback click out to eBay, add item B to cart complete purchase.

          This should have completed the tracking procedure for Shopback!

          And it doesn't matter which order either.

          Even if I use Shopback first then Cashrewards I still get the same result.

          Every 4th/5th transaction is not tracked by Cashrewards but all transactions are tracked by Shopback.

        • EnALup on 29/07/2018 - 17:39

          @prxy: TBH, I didnt have too many issues with both CR and SB.

          This is what I do. I normally use CR for most of my purchases in Chrome. For SB, I use Firefox or Edge. I do sometimes open SB in Chrome, but do not start new transaction.
          SB has more offers sometimes like file a cashback and get $5 back or similar which CR does not have.

          I don't have any Adblocker extensions installed as well in both Chrome and Firefox.

          Support for both CR and SB is good. if rates are same or close, I prefer CR over SB due to being OZ business now.

        • EnALup on 29/07/2018 - 17:42

          @prxy: I dont delete cookies mostly and dont have issues. Not sure what is happening at your end.
          If you feel CR is having tracking issues, go to your account and see your click history, see if CR recorded your click on that merchant say eBay. If it has recorded, there is some other issue. Try contacting CR support with your invoice and they can record it. If it is a small purchase, dont bother.

          Edit: Wish I had great Gold prices like this in the past. I dont do online gaming via XB1 anymore and is mainly used by kids.

        • prxy on 29/07/2018 - 17:45

          @Gaggy:

          Up until aforementioned 3 months or so time period I used Cashrewards exclusively.

          I've only started using Shopback because of these tracking issues.

          Cashrewards have been good reimbursing me the credit it's just becoming a PITA to have to go through the procedure especially because it's happening so often/regularly.

          My clicks are always recorded, it's the tracking that's the problem. Hence why I am able to get Cashrewards to reimburse.

        • EnALup on 29/07/2018 - 19:51

          @prxy: Got it. It is painful to send invoice and emails for less than $10 cashbacks, I understand. Use what works for you.
