                @ironworthy: Most likely Westpac's acquisition restructuring is kicking in and they removed this position. One less salary to pay, and less payouts to honour, win-win by extremely myopic bean counters which are the vast majority of PEs.

                This is not a celebration for CR/TCB fans, either. Everyone must follow along with enshitification or their margins/market share will vaporize.

            @G-rig:

            GYB replying to everyone's DM's would be a fulltime job.

            And SB customer "service" is a masterclass in dumbfkery, so the fact that they pulled their OZB rep isn't surprising. They'd rather push everyone to their cumbersome and clunky email support process, only for us to find their support reps doing all they can to prevent SB from honouring a claim.

      • trixieb on 08/06/2024 - 15:22
        +4

        GYB is the name of SB's store account and is still here and contactable. The person/s that operated this account seems to have left and replaced with someone that is probably new and appears unfamiliar with SB's usual T&Cs.

        There have been errors in the T&Cs and tracking in their recent deals. I'm not confident shopping with SB as the new GYB (or staff) doesn't appear to be as helpful or responsive as the previous one.

        I've stopped posting SB deals as there were T&C errors in previous deals. This new Amazon rule of not paying with gift cards could be an error.

          Yes, let's replace someone who was actually on top of it (GYB) with a bunch of intern monkeys that don't have a clue… that absolutely sounds just like a page that's been ripped from Crapback's playbook.

    • CacheHunter on 08/06/2024 - 10:10

      What constitutes a gift card redemption? Is it the process of redeeming a physical or gift card to your gift card balance? (This is how I'd read it) Or is it the process of using your gift card balance to make a purchase?

      • Lucille Bluth on 08/06/2024 - 10:20

        Using gift card balance to pay for a portion of or the entire order.

    Shopback can GTFO if they think they're gonna win the cashback wars by removing the ability to use gift cards. That's going to be a massive bone of contention now for many OzBargainers. It looks like I'll be sticking with TCB and CR until the pull their finger out of their a$$ and go back to the way it was. The amount of restrictions they're imposing now is a joke.

    Amazon + Shopback = 💀

      • ironworthy on 08/06/2024 - 12:29

        it's using a gift card to purchase, not buying gc. you never got cash back for buying gcs

      Simple, just follow @TA. Looks like he joined TCB.

      • KangaDrew on 08/06/2024 - 14:54

        Not sure who negged you or why 🤔 I believe TCB are the way forward when compared to the likes of SB.

        Yeah, TA announced that about 3 weeks back IIRC. And like most here, we're already following the main cashback sites. But SB are clearly paving the way for more skimpflation on their side with a continued decline in their product offerings and reduced cashbacks.

          You can't cancel too quickly. My remaining gift card balance was added back to my order after. You might need to cancel in an hour or two. This happened to another ozbargainer too

          • Lucille Bluth on 08/06/2024 - 19:10

            @cynical17: As long as it is not "preparing for shipping" or "shipping now" you should be able to change payment method including add or remove GC balances.

                @cynical17: I'm assuming you did it in desktop mode/computer? As you can't add or remove GC balances on the mobile app once order is placed. Otherwise, it must have been late in the shipping stage to amend payment method 🤷

        'against common practice' All the other cashback companies allow it.
        We need to confirm it is an intentional rule and not some kind of misinterpretation of 'no cashback for purchasing gift cards'

    Neg for ShopBack mate. I can't be trusting these deals anymore when they revoke access to my account after having hundreds of cashback pending from previous deals.
    Can't trust this cashback provider anymore..

    • trixieb on 08/06/2024 - 21:41

      Sorry to hear 😧. That's terrible. Do you mind sharing what happened?

      • AkuroPlays on 09/06/2024 - 13:01

        I'm not too sure to be honest.. I was logged out of my account a few weeks prior, and contacted customer service. I didn't do anything dodgy or against their terms and conditions (last transaction purchased in May).

        They took around 5 days to reply, stating that my account was permanently banned for breaking their terms and conditions in a way, they did not provide any reasoning behind that, which is quite ridiculous.

        I'm a bit annoyed since I still had cashbacks pending, just shows to go you can't trust a service 100%.

        • trixieb on 09/06/2024 - 13:43

          @AkuroPlays It sucks when they don't disclose. I wonder if it's due to the multiple Boost SIM purchases that are also not paid. Perhaps the system at Boost or Shopback flags when a certain amount is purchased that would be considered as abuse.
          Telstra/Boost are changing their T&Cs with the purchase of SIM cards according to TA at TCB and it's probably the end of profiting from Boost cashbacks.
          Saw your comment: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/824401

          From ShopBack:
          A failure to abide by any terms and conditions, the perpetration of any fraud or abuse, whether relating to the accrual or receipt of cashback and/or other rewards or otherwise, and/or any misrepresentation of any information furnished to ShopBack or its affiliates may result in your ShopBack account being flagged for suspicious activity and suspended or terminated; any cashback accumulated being forfeited; and/or any store credit or vouchers purchased by you being cancelled.

    • DoctorCalculon on 08/06/2024 - 23:01

      Did you do anything dodgy like CC charge back on a gift card purchase?

      • AkuroPlays on 09/06/2024 - 12:58
        +1

        Nope, I rarely really buy GCs unless its super upsized, also I don't use a credit card on ShopBack, just my Westpac Debit Card, and I have not disputed any charges on my account.

        I've had an account with them for almost four years, and had couple thousand confirmed cashback withdrawn already.
        I contacted support, and all they said was I broke their terms and conditions in someway and they are unable to tell me why nor reinstate my account.

        Frustrating as it seems, majority of my pending cashbacks were from Boost Mobile SIMs as well, so yeah.. never touching em again and just sticking to Cashrewards and TopCashback.

  • Low Punt on 08/06/2024 - 22:17

    Confused? Will a deal be eligible if it’s “save x% on any two items” offer from Amazon?
    Is this a store discount etc?

  • s0805 on 09/06/2024 - 07:31

    Made an eligible order but for 0% category, how will it work if transaction doesn't track.

    • Low Punt on 09/06/2024 - 10:13

      Update us for future reference. I have it a miss because we couldn’t even clarify t&c with GYB. :-(

    • 8azinga on 09/06/2024 - 12:52

      0% categories should track as calculating or $0. If it doesnt track at all, bonus wont get paid.
      Not sure if the old comment about 0% categories qualifying for bonus is still relevant though as things can change like paying with GC not be eligible now.

  • Repstar on 09/06/2024 - 14:14

    Anyone’s tracked yet?

    • cuy on 09/06/2024 - 14:33

      No for me. I did it through the shopback mobile app which opened the amazon app.

      Cant remember when amazon usually tracks but I vaguely remember when the orders are sent and money is deducted.

      Shopback says Amazon tracking may take 4 days.

  • Repstar on 09/06/2024 - 18:56

    Mine has now tracked. No gift cards used and STG used for payment. Amazon AU showing as calculating and bank cashback showing as pending. Was a 0% category. If I am not mistaken, the calculating needs to be approved for the $3 bonus to also be approved. Interesting…..

  • Chickenleg on 09/06/2024 - 19:49

    • 8azinga on 09/06/2024 - 20:38

      Gift card payments likely to change to calculating later. That is what happened to mine before i knew they changed the t&c. Not sure if it will affect bonus.

      • Repstar on 09/06/2024 - 21:23

    • Repstar on 10/06/2024 - 06:36

        It's an interesting one - no tracking at all on the any of the 3 items i purchased, but my challenge shows as completed with a notification saying "Congrats, you did it!" and the $3 tracked in my notifications

        • s0805 on 10/06/2024 - 10:31
