ShopBack - Withdraw All Your Money ASAP

Purchased $100 Deliveroo gift card from Shopback as part of that 25% deal last year before it went down.

Shopback posted they will refund all in-used credits.

  • Submit my request and didn’t get any money back and heard nothing.
  • Late Nov 2022 - submitted my credit card dispute and got $100 back in pending.
  • Shopback disabled my account saying I’m conducting a “fraud”, heavy words. Then asked if I close the dispute, they will reactivate my account.
  • EDIT: I will be out of pocket $100. Don’t even know if $25 Shopback cash back even came through eventually as the account is deactivated, no way to check

Anyways, still have some pending credits, luckily I withdrew all my money from Shopback as soon as it reaches withdrawable amount.

Lesson learnt - always withdraw from Shopback as soon as you can.

    How did you submit it? Was it via their google forms? I remember the rep was collecting information and eventually they moved to the form which not a lot of people would have seen.

    @gotyourback any assistance?

      Via google form

        Oh, didn't see you submitted a credit card dispute, yeah that's not a good sign then.

        Late Nov 2022 - submitted my credit card dispute and got $100 back in pending.

        Something is definitely not right with your dates:

        16/11 Deliveroo went into Voluntary Administration
        29/11 I received the email from shopback with google form link

        Did you submit chargeback before filling in the google form?

        I will be out of pocket $100 - $25 (Shopback) = $75 since Shopback hasn’t refund anything from my initial request.

        But right now you have your $25 from shopback AND $100 from chargeback. You can't have both, and since you submitted a credit card dispute, you've made the decision for shopback.

            @Tuspecial:

            Submit Shopback in late Oct, heard nothing.

            10/11 25% off deliveroo on shopback

            16/11 Deliveroo AU Has Been Placed into Voluntary Administration

            29/11 I received the email from shopback with google form link

            Crazy how you bought gift card and submitted case to shopback before the deal was even posted.

            • Tuspecial on 28/02/2023 - 12:47

              @CodeXD: Good pick up. I was mistaken with the credit card transaction, it showed in Oct

                @Tuspecial: Could you have disputed a different shopback gift card transaction if it was in Oct then?

                Sounds like you bought a gift card, spent it, and disputed it with your credit card company.

                If that's the case Shopback has every right to disable your account.

                • Tuspecial on 28/02/2023 - 13:10

                  @CodeXD: Nah. It’s $100 flat.

                  Anyways, don’t think it’s worth anyone’s time.

                  The message is take money out when you can, and avoid they deactivate your account for whatever reason and you can’t withdraw, that is all.

                  I’m not here to get my account re-activated or anything. There’s always Cashrewards.

                    Anyone reading the comments will see that deliveroo went into VA mid Nov, and you filed a dispute late Nov. You didn't even give SB the time to investigate and see what they can do from their side.

                    deactivate your account for whatever reason and you can’t withdraw, that is all.

                    the whatever reason is you raised a credit card dispute not even 2 weeks after deliveroo went into VA and your account got flagged in shopback.

                    It honestly sounds like you made a mistake and then point finger at shopback for this. Now that you've realised it, you are refusing to admit to it.

            For example, I once got cashback of ~$400 on a single laptop purchase.

            $5k isn't inconceivable at all.

          The message is take money out when you can, and avoid they deactivate your account for whatever reason and you can’t withdraw, that is all. I’m not here to re-activated my account, there’s obviously a better way for Shopback to deal with this.

          For example, cancel your disrupt and we process the claim. Happy days. Instead of just de-activate your account without any notifications, have to reach out to them and find out what happened.

    This is not the first time I've seen complaints from people stating a retailer blocked their account after a card dispute.

    It costs the retailer both the transaction amount and the dispute admin fees charged by the institusion when you file a dispute, and you're successful. So IMHO a dispute should be the last resort, and you should not be expecting to do further business with that company/retiler after filing one. Not just Shopback, but anyone really.

    Shopback disabled my account saying I’m conducting a “fraud”, heavy words. Then asked if I close the dispute, they will reactivate my account.

      OP said the credit card transaction was in October, which means it wasnt even deliveroo since 25% GC deal off was in November.

      My guess is they purchased a gift card, spent it, and disputed it and got their money back. Which SB flagged.

      Glad you said it mate.

      I can't believe you're placing any blame on Shopback. They've fulfilled the deal and supplied you with the $100 Deliveroo gift card. Yes Deliveroo went into administration, soon after but your claim should be as an unsecured creditor as part of the Deliveroo administration arrangement.

      That being said, I'm impressed Shopback are offering any sort of financial compensation for people impacted. Nice work.

    Man world is so complicated, I do agree SB support is a little difficult to reach, and does take some time.

    Anyways if I was in your shoes I would have rather
    0. Not have bought the Delivery giftcard if I wasn't going to use it within a week or so (it ain't amazon or woolies GC which I might be comfortable holding onto).
    1. Tried to contact rep here
    2. Live Chat on SB website
    3. consistent email queries
    4. If still nothing timely, then try to redeem it via Menulog.
    5. Not be making a rant about it, definitely wouldn't have done a chargeback (because at the time of purchase, you got the goods instantly that you wanted).

    Anyway My advice now is, Not be saying to SB "that I am not here to reactivate my account", if they offered you to reopen the account, with close CC chargeback, then Do it on condition that they listen and fix up anything that went wrong, may be You apologies to them about any offensive language you might have used (I dont know what you said them).
    And if you get the $100 from Chargeback then you email SB that you will be happy to pay them that $100 again, (since they would be fixing that issue for you).

    If it was some other major company I really doubt they would even be offering you to have account reopened/ reinstated.

    • Tuspecial on 01/03/2023 - 08:20
