What else is essential?

    • Thanks for the link. I'll take some of those gluten free Corn flakes.

    • +8

      It's not milk. It is Almond Juice.

      • +3

        Or almond sweat, depending on the brand.

        • like pocari sweat?

      • +5

        No, they don't juice the almonds. It's an emulsion^ of ground almonds in water.

        ^History and Etymology
        New Latin emulsion-, emulsio, from Latin emulgēre to milk out, from e- + mulgēre to milk; akin to Old English melcan to milk, Greek amelgein
        (Merriam-Webster)

      • +3

        It's not Almond Juice. It is almond flavoured water.

        • -1

          It is almond flavoured water.

          Are you sure ?

  • +2

    Heads up to those who used SBs upsized Westpac/Bank bonus cashback: if your stuff hasn't shipped yet and you have left over balance in your GC Balance, it will take funds from it instead of your card and you will lose your bonus cashback.

    • Cheers good to know.

      Also noticed yesterday that this happens when you purchase items from say Amazon AU/US/UK together when they split the orders up (ie they'll randomly pick which item/s are fully paid by the GC balance and only one ends up being partially charged on the card).

      So if you're using GCs always better off making seperate orders in that case and double check the orders once they're processed just to make sure.

    • +4

      Yeh it will always use gift card balance first by default. Need to change payment and untick use gift card balance at checkout. Unfortunately while you can change payment method (from available debit/credit cards) and apply gift card balance to an order afterwards you can't remove. I don't know if live chat would be able to do it for you though.

      • think others report amazon goes ahead for some items regardless of whether you've unchecked that box

        be good if someone can clarify

        amazon did something special to my account, needed to buy something on behalf of someone else with their card but later that day it charged my own account, amazon rep said they changed something that will prevent it from attempting another payment method if for any reason the first fails

        • +1

          Ah ok, I can only say I've done it many times and hasn't ever happened to me but yeh if the selected payment method isn't able to be charged for whatever reason (say a debit card normally unused and forgot to transfer in the funds) they will normally try another so I guess if there is GC balance that may become the priority method again.

        • +1

          Makes you think now it was the start of the Crowdstrike incident. Problems charging the Westpac card so defaulted to another payment method.
          My kid was saying they were having trouble logging in to their Microsoft SSO for school that day too, coincidence maybe..

          btw you can turn off backup payments yourself here https://www.amazon.com.au/cpe/yourpayments/settings/manageba…

    • +2

      payment pro-tip: not necessarily

    • -1

      will bonus cashback work with partial gift card payment

      • Yes

    • :( that happened to me. Any way to get around that now instead of cancelling the entire order? It still says on my invoice $0 charged to westpac card.

      • +1

        Best bet would be live chat, depending what stage the order is at.

        So to clarify whats going on, you had unticked GC as a payment method at checkout but its now applied your GC balance to the order anyway?

        • yep.

    • I bought something with wbc upsize 2 days ago close to midnight when the offer expired. I chose my wbc credit card in amazon payment and unticked gift card option which i have balance on.

      My wbc hasnt been charged because not yet shipped.
      Will this be a problem getting the SB wbc upsize offer?

  • -1

    What category is the Toys falls under?

    • Currently under All Other Purchases 1% cashback

  • +1

    Can someone clarify what category this falls under? Is Home same as Home Improvement?

    Limited-time deal for Prime Members: Dreame H12 PRO Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner, Hot Air Drying, Self-Cleaning, Dual-Sided Edge Cleaning, Smart Messes Detection, 35min Long Runtime, Smart Floor Washer for Hard Floors https://amzn.asia/d/0iuYVBLe

    • +1

      This seems Kitchen & Dining.

    • +1

      Home is not the same as "Home Improvement"

      Since there is currently no specific discount rate for "Home", this purchase is most likely to be categorised under "All Other Purchases", which currently only has 1% cashback.

      • That's what I was thinking. Darn it. Cheers

    • +1

      Good question! Actually is there a systematic way to determine which category an item belongs to?

      • I usually go by the Product group listed in the details at the bottom of the camels page for the item.

        • I used to do that, but have been told it was incorrect and notice that sometimes it shows differently on camelcamelcamel

          Eg. Limited-time deal for Prime Members: Segway Portable Power Station Cube 1000, 2200W AC Outlets, 1024Wh LiFePO4 Battery, Expandable Battery Capacity up to 5kWh Solar Generator for Camping, Home Backup, Power Outages, Off-grid https://amzn.asia/d/0gSo7D0l

          Is it Garden or Home improvement?

        • Previously, it was told search open the product in a web browser (with desktop version enabled). The left not category in bold is the category to be considered. I do not know if this has changed later.

      • +1

        Yes - go to the page in a desktop browser and it's the category in bold in the top left of the screen. So that vacuum cleaner is Kitchen & Dining.

        • Wait, what? Isn't this vacuum under HOME? @tightarse can you help confirm this?

          • @armageddeus: The confusing thing is though, and I've been caught by this before (that fortunately TA was happy to still credit when he was still with CR) is that if you click to the item page from search within the Home category, it'll show that category instead of the proper category for cashback purposes. Happens for other categories too. To be sure of the correct category, remove everything after the item number in the url and load the page again.

        • OK, thanks for the reply. How did you get it to show under Kitchen & Dining? Cuz that's 10% category today. Vs 1%

          • @armageddeus:

            remove everything after the item number in the url and load the page again

            Shows in the link you posted above anyway.

  • @tightarse, Can you help confirm if this is under Home Improvement category, and no cap? Thanks.

    https://www.amazon.com.au/Segway-Portable-Expandable-Capacit…

  • Does anyone know if it will work over multiple orders? Conditions doesn't appear to state it must be in one transaction, so I'm assuming it'll be fine?

    • I wonder the same thing, but my guess is that it should be fine given the following line:
      "Amazon reports transactions based on item instead of combined cart value. If you purchase multiple items in one order, they will report as multiple transactions in your TopCashback account."

      • Yeh, that would be logical.

  • Second and subsequent Subscribe & Save orders are ineligible for cashback (only first Subscribe & Save orders in eligible categories are eligible).

    So this is we've never used S&S on a specific product before - not ever used S&S at all right?

    • +2

      No, one could cancel their current subscribe and save and do it again, still it’s considered first s&s.

  • +2

    Through the TopCashback app on IOS I’m unable to sign into Amazon.
    It just logs in and closes the internal browser and goes back to the TopCashback app.

    Any suggestions?

    Edit- If anybody else has the same issue, I was able to login on the mobile browser and it all worked that way.

  • +10

    $82.5 spend for max cashback

  • Quick question, does topcashback track items already in your cart, when you follow the link?

    • +2

      Read the OP

      • Thanks

  • Does tracking work for purchases made with Amazon app?

  • Anyone know when household items will have cashback that isn't 1-3%?

  • +1

    I have heaps of items in cart…. Would be a pain to put them into Wishlist and bring them back afterwards.

    Anyone tried checking out without clearing previous cart items and just deselect them and only check out the wanted items?

    • +1

      you can be the first and let us know :)

    • Would be a pain to put them into Wishlist and bring them back afterwards.

      why not just save for later?

      • Yes. Thanks. I saved them all for later.
        But then ended up checking them all out before I jump on this deal.. seems like I end up spending more again

  • +2

    Brings the 30 pack of Pepsi Max down to ~ $17. Like the good old days.

    https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07XCWG89V?psc=1&smid=ANEGB3WVE…

    • aim lower like 40c a can

      • ha ha. let me know when you find that.

        • haha ain't gonna happen but thought I'll bring it up if we were reminiscing

    • Just did this, thx

  • Also of note, electronics have 5% cashback and computers 2% cashback. Toys ( I assume board games are included) have 3.5% cashback today at Shopback.

    I am hoping for the health category to get an upsized cashback (I haven't seen it higher than 0.7% so far, but I may have missed a day due to be busy). When you are poor, it is worth trying to save a few dollars by working the system. I withdrew about $200 worth of cashback from the past 18 months, recently. There is also 1.5 to 2% cashback on gift cards for Amazon (I can instantly get one through the Shopback cellphone application). I sometimes forget about cashback though. I am only an intermediate level OzBargainer, not an expert bargain hunter/ money maximizer like some people here.

  • Waiting for Amazon to lower the price of Harris coffee…

    • Any idea how long ago the bottle was made? I used to love these bottle of coconut, but after found about plastic liner …

  • Can we do multiple orders and still earning the cash back?

    • I'm trying this hope it works

      • It literally says it's $15 cap per member (account).

        Capped at $15 per Member

        So make as many transactions as you want, you'll only earn max $15 today

        • Thanks appreciate the confirmation 👍

  • Just confirming Non-alcoholic beer/wine is included?

  • Topcashback pays out when using gift cards, right?

    • Yep. Amazon do, for all cashback partners.

      • Great. Thank you.

    @tightarse

    On the Pantry Food and Drinks page, "Health, Nutrition & Supplements" is listed as under "Featured categories" however they did not track at 20%

    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/bestsellers/grocery//ref=fst_h1…

    Vitamins and supplements are also listed as a sub category of Pantry Food and Drinks

    • Hi. Vitamins etc generally fall under "Health & Household" not "Pantry". Use this as a guide. Thanks.

  • I ordered two pantry items in the one order and got cashback for only one of them.

    Edit: Okay, one is delayed. Amazon only informed me that now.

  • No tracking yet. Anyone else having issues?
