Hi all. Today we're proud to announce the official launch of VISA in-store card linked offers. This is something completely new for us which hopefully resonates well with the community. Right now we have 24 stores secured, but there will be many more added so keep your eyes peeled. Simply link your VISA to your Cashrewards account, activate the offer/s, shop in-store, and pay in-store with your linked VISA. Ensure you check the participating outlets (stores) when you activate an offer, as not all outlets relating to the brand may be eligible.

Please note Cashrewards does not see or retain any VISA details. These are collected and stored directly by VISA. VISA allows us only to retain the last 4 digits of your card. Further, we don't request expiry date, name, or security code. Tracking is pretty close to real time around 90% of the time. Strangely, delays can occur when merchants use the same bank as your VISA card, as there is no priority for VISA to cross-check details immediately. Under these situations, tracking can take up to 14 days.

These in-store offers are totally separate from the online ones, and cannot be combined. Most will have a minimum spend and expiry date. We hope you all jump on board with this, as it's an extremely exciting time for us here. We're also pretty close to launching our new Mobile App which will further strengthen the brand. Thanks for your support as always. Enjoy :)

              So, I was #channelingjv (just don't put the hash at the start of the line, so that it doesn't look like a markdown title).

              • robinCTS on 21/09/2019 - 01:21

                Actually, you can put the hash at the start of the line. You just need to escape it like so: \#channelingjv.

      • omblygombly on 19/12/2019 - 16:52

        In South Aus there are 2 sizes of pints. The ubiquitous pint which is actually the size of other staes' schooner and the metric plint which is the same as a pint in other states. So yes, you can get a larger pint, but only in SA.

      In-store rewards via cashback sites is not a new concept. I suspect they modified the concept used by cashback world https://www.cashbackworld.com/au as they don't have an dedicated app or card 💳 to use so they use the visa card to track your in-store purchases

      It's a legit deal if you bothered to read. My Visa debit card has never earned me points or any rewards of any kind. Now I can link it up and receive cashback aka… free money. It's the very definition of a deal.

            One reward is from VISA, the other one is from affiliate channel, assuming both parties do not disclose it to each other.

            Ummm because that’s what the description is for.

            But you are right let’s just let TA use it to announce a new feature of a business they work for.

            • Clear on 15/10/2018 - 20:58

              @ciab: Title has an example of a deal as per OzBargain's requirements. The description then describes how the entire process works so people don't need to ask the same question repeatedly in the comments. Makes sense to me.

              If TA didn't post this or another rep did there wouldn't be these comments. He's always had a hate club years before even joining CR.

      Are you serious?

      There are 24 different stored with decent enough deals.
      Not everyone has amex, neither amex does cashback on most of them. Where you can earn decent cashback on debit cards? Unless you are in India or SEA where cash is king and govt encourages digital transactions.

          There's a few things to iron out with the way the Google/Apple Pay token is passed onto VISA from the POS terminals, and because there are many different types of POS terminals, it complicates it further. Once that's been sorted it will work 100% of the time across all stores. So at this stage, rather than say Google/Apple Pay will work at such & such stores, it's safest to take the blanket approach and say no across the board. Simply present your VISA for now :)

          • GaryG on 16/10/2018 - 12:09

            @tightarse: What about bank apps?

            Though I am using Google Pay, I also have the NAB app with my card.

            TBH there is nothing in the list of shops now where I might go so not too fussed but this has a lot of potential.

            • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 16/10/2018 - 12:29

              @GaryG: It all depends on the how the bank’s app is sharing card details with the POS terminal. If tokens are used to authenticate transactions and VISA has separate & different processes to resolve these, it could lead to transactions being missed. Again, using a physical card is always the safest option.

    For those without a VISA card (maybe also those who have?), there are Account Opening Cashback offers (when you open a Transaction Account and make a deposit of certain amount) from Bank of Melbourne, St George, Bank SA which issue VISA debit cards.

    Go with Bank of Melbourne if you are interested in opening an account for the VISA debit card, as it offers $50 cashback while the other two are only $40. See this post here by ricardigan for terms and conditions.
