Hi all. We've increased Amazon Australia Cashback to 12.5%. Increase will end at our discretion 11:59PM AEDT Nov 7. Thank you as always for your support. Enjoy :)

Very Important Notes:

  • Items added to your shopping cart before clicking from Cashrewards will not earn Cashback and will not be eligible for Cashback claims.
  • You must return and click through from Cashrewards to Amazon Australia every time you make a new transaction/purchase.
  • Purchases made via the Amazon App are not eligible for Cashback.
  • Gift Cards, Vouchers, Charity, Non-Profit items, and Amazon Prime memberships are not eligible for Cashback.
  • Cashback will be paid on eligible purchases, excluding shipping/delivery, taxes and GST.
  • Pre-orders are eligible for Cashback provided the item is scheduled to be shipped within 60 days of purchase.

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 Amazon AU. 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.

Other Cashrewards Links:

Referral: random (3852)

$10 for referee and $10 for referrer, after referee makes $20 purchase within 14 days.

      they just keep forgetting to price jack before hand.

        Ebay don't price jack, sellers do. And not for site-wide (because everyone would buy from their competitors).

        Price jacking prices when a sale is limited to select sellers.

        I agree with your minimum spend comment, this is better (except less shit to buy on amazon and no second hand / used items)

      What does a Cashback increase have to do with Amazon getting desperate? Nothing! This isn't a sitewide/store specific coupon that eBay do.

        A 7.5% cashback is a fair amount. Someone is paying for it. Amazon have the funds to take a short term loss for a possible long term gain.

          Perhaps Cashrewards are taking a hit by having this increase? Both cashback companies do it to match each other.

            @Clear: There was a time when cashrewards used to give >3% to 6% on eBay purchases. Ebay then reduced their commissions to cashrewards which caused cashrewards to drop their rates to a standard 1%.

              @idonotknowwhy: None of the Amazon affiliates make more than 10% commission except for apparel which is set at 12%. CR would be making quite the loss on some categories.

              • idonotknowwhy on 07/11/2018 - 10:35

                @Clear: I don't know, I just figured there's no real competition and it's effectively free cash for me as a user.

                You're probably correct though, I'll look into the link below.

                CR and particularly TA are pretty good with fixing issues so I'd probably stick with them anyway in most cases.

                • Clear on 07/11/2018 - 10:37

                  @idonotknowwhy: There have been many cashback startups that have failed (e.g. Shopcred) or haven't quite taken off (e.g. OzVouchers & BitcoinRewards), but the only real competition is SB. Hence these constant cashback wars :)

              @idonotknowwhy: CashRewards is a business, one facing competition. Why wouldn't they consider a loss leader promotion?

              BTW, this page lists the standard Amazon affiliate payouts. While I don't doubt that Amazon runs promos for big affiliates, I'd be surprised if CR weren't taking a hit to get and keep people on their platform.

              • Elijha on 07/11/2018 - 17:39

                @lbft: It's a potential hit.
                Remember this isn't immediate cash back to the user. There is a time for it to be approved from cash rewards to the user which is probably a little longer than the approval from Amazon to CR to allow for adjustments, errors and a little interest to be earned. Then there is the fact you can't take out all the money until you have a minimum amount in your account. I bet a lot sits in accounts under this threshold or for a long period - which again gives them interest on the money held. Then you have the market growth of new users coming in, potential to leverage this user base in some way either through site marketing or leveraging it for better rates / promos / specials. I'm not saying they are making millions - but its not as simple as they are giving out 12.50 for every 10 they get in through affiliate payments.

    • deelaroo on 07/11/2018 - 09:38

      Amazon have a constant affiliate program anyone can sign up for. Cashrewards and others probably have a higher rating or cut some special deal for a higher percentage and they choose to pass some (or all at some times I guess) on.

          What makes you say this? Not affiliated with either site but curious what other peoples thoughts on CR and Shopback are? Also Kerching.com.au which launched this week has a higher rate than both CR and Shopback on eBay but the experience is way behind the others.

          • BargainKen on 07/11/2018 - 10:22

            @MisterMo: My experience with Shopback when I tried them wasnt a good one. Was using CR and its been mostly painless but for a while they were denying payments for no apparent reason until I raised support ticket.

            So I wanted to dip my toe in the water for a small-ish purchase with Shopback as they offered a better rate. Made the purchase, took a few days to track however in that time the rate had reduced from promotional to the regular rate. At which point they only were offering me the cashback at that reduced rate even though I had made purchase on the promotional rate.

            It was only for a small amount of money (~maybe $1?) but I didn't bother pursuing it further as I prefer a service that "just works" and not wasting my time chasing what I was entitled to.

            I've dealt with other rebate sites like befrugal and topcashback with no issues or stuffing about.

    "Items added to your shopping cart before clicking from Cashrewards will not earn Cashback and will not be eligible for Cashback claims.
    You must return and click through from Cashrewards to Amazon Australia every time you make a new transaction/purchase."

    That's a generous rebate, but is going to make for one hell of a convoluted purchase process if we need to exit out of Amazon and click through CashRewards for every item we add.

    I'm sure plenty of people have items in their cart already, or will add multiple purchases without reverting back to CashRewards and be quite disappointed when their rebates come through…

    • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 07/11/2018 - 09:18

      Hi UncleRico. Been the case from day one with Amazon AU, and while it's not something we're happy with, we need to abide by Amazon AU's guidelines or we/you get nothing. Simply clear your cart first, then click through Cashrewards, fill your cart, and buy. If you have more to purchase after this, click through from Cashrewards and repeat. Thanks.

          Hi Zenyatta. Can't say this enough. Please do all your reviewing etc first, or indeed have a separate browser for Cashrewards with no plugins or other tabs open during your purchases. Do not click away from Amazon (or any CR store for that matter) after clicking from Cashrewards until your purchase is complete. Attribution is so easily lost with so many forms of advertising/publishers/links/email marketing/SEO/PPC out there… boggles the mind.

      I find if I save for later, click through from Cash Rewards, then re-add to cart it works. You don't have to do it for every item, just every time you click through to pay and shipping. Plus with so many people on Prime, and no minimum spend for free shipping, some people might buy small amounts more frequently as they think of it.

        My thinking is more along these lines. If you take a physical store advertising say 25% off everything - and customers jump into their cars and drive to the store only to see that it is now 12.5% off - and the manager points to the fine print "25% off will end at our discretion" then isn't that bait and switch. They have diverted sales away from the competition and have buyers at the store. I believe there should always be an end date and time published.

          It's people like you that ruin these deals for everyone. For a start you don't have to drive anywhere and it's unlikely that you wouldn't get the cashback at the higher rate as you clicked through at that higher rate as CashRewards pays based on the click through time (at least that is how it looks in the information that we see on their website). The sale time which also contains the amount has to be within a certain time period to get credited to your account.

          As for the store example, words fail me.

      Amazon usually charges at time of shipping/preparing order, if the increased rate ends before release you may not get the increased rate, but should still get the default rate

        Amazon usually charges at time of shipping/preparing order, if the increased rate ends before release you may not get the increased rate, but should still get the default rate

        What does that have to do with it? CashRewards tracks the click through time and it tracks the purchase time and the amount. How Amazon charge you has nothing to do with CashRewards, after you purchase they wait for confirmation from Amazon that the sale has gone through and you get paid after x days.

      • HelpWanted on 07/11/2018 - 11:43

        I sure that's not how it works. CR is paid on Click through at the rate advertised 12.5%. The Pre-Order has to ship with 60 days to be credited with the CR amount at time of 'purchase' 12.5%. You get charged by Amazon on product release date. That's probably why the time frame from 'Pending' to 'Paid' at CR is soooo long :-).

        I could be wrong, @Tightarse could confirm exactly but that's my understanding.

    If I purchase $2000 of hard drives, reckon they'd honor it?

      No seriously, would they?

    Ok..

    So I have order Smash Ult for $66.10 2 months ago.

    However if I order with cashback at 12.5% off it goes from the price now $69 to ~$60.

    So I should simply be able to cancel the initial order, and re-order with the cashback yea?
