    I've got a feeling Shopback wants us to buy a Plus subscription.

  • +25

    back in my day deals like this weren't paywalled. beyond insulting

      • +18

        That's very short sighted. It's how this crap becomes the new norm. Then they put the price up.

        We've seen Ebay plus kill or reduce the offers they started with and only get worse over time.

        • +3

          Enshitification

    • +10

      Whats even more insulting is the $0 confirmed cashbacks from prime day with no opportunity to dispute. Shopback can no longer be trusted. Ill be closing my account with them.

      • Yeah what happened here?

        • +1

          I suspect their upsized cashback offers did not "stick", so an item purchased under an upsized 0.5% cashback reverted to the standard 0% cashback.

          I have dropped them an email and will see what happens next. At least the more significant $3 bonus from $30 Amazon spend tracked for me.

          • @CW66WC: My $3 bonus failed as a result of rejected cashbacks.

            • @GimmeCashback: That's definitely not good. I had 1 of 3 rejected but the 2 that confirmed with $0 cashback just covered the $30 spend.

              • +2

                @CW66WC: Just received an email from SB they are honouring the rejected Amazon purchases and bonus thankfully.

  • +1

    +5% or just 5%? It is very meh if its just 5%, especially considering its paywalled

    • +1

      Just 5% from the looks. Essentially the same rate that we used to get without a subscription wall

      • Extremely disappointing. I remember the rep said they had "something great" coming for plus members and that's it? lol

        • I wasted my $4.99 for nothing too. At least I could put it towards a gift card that I needed urgently

      • Just 5%

        That Just 5% works out better value than the deal you posted a few minutes before me. Yours works out to be 4.878% off face value

  • +20

    Shopback going further down the shitter with a paywall.

    • There is an AliExpress offer up to 15% cashback (capped at $50 per transaction) for Plus members.

      • +16

        Or just go to TopCashback US who often have 15% uncapped for free.

        No US phone or address required either.

        • +1

          My last AliExpress order didn't track with TopCashback AU. Had to submit a claim for each item. I'm a regular AliExpress shopper with TopCashback AU and Cashrewards. It's the first time tracking was an issue. Will not be using TopCashback US or ShopBack in case of any issues. Will stick to TopCashback AU as TA is the rep.

          There are heaps of upsized cashbacks for Plus members today. It would be a test of how accurate ShopBack's tracking is. Already having this issue today: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15756413/redir
          Plus members are meant to receive priority customer service. Lol

    No hate to OP, neg vote isn't aimed towards OP, but to ShopBack.

    Crazy how rep support has deteriorated, now charging ShopBack Plus route for cashback?
    That's just increased methods of earning even more profits on top of the commissions that they don't pay out / reject from mine and other people's experiences. ShopBack doesn't live up to their name anymore, and with this paywall like @lachlantula stated, this is just getting out of hand! Ridiculously crazy, don't bother with ShopBack, trust me…

    • +6

      Second this. To my surprise almost all my amazon prime day purchases were tracked at $0. Cant be trusted.

    • +1

      agreed what a rubbish deal

  • +6

    Think I’ll be switching to TopCashBack. SB Plus looks like the new SB.

    • +2

      That's the plan.

  • No offer available to a standard user, surely they could at least offer 1% less. SB becoming a haves (paid subscriber) vs have nots site.

  • +1

    Could purchase only 1 x $100…

    • +1

      Huh i just thought good deal will buy $1000 worth for a new laptop…

  • +1

    Says I've reached max qty even though I have not made a purchase…

    Edit: works now. Don't press the back button on your app when you are about to make payment or the system will think you made the purchase.

    • I accidentally just did that and got blocked, how did you get unblocked?

      • +1

        I Signed out of account and force closed the app, then sign back in again.

        • Thanks so much! It worked. So much for priority customer service with plus, just got faced with a chat bot wanting to tell me about plus benefits when I was trying to ask for help on a plus exclusive deal…

        • +1

          Facing the same issue but signing out + force closing isn't working :( If anyone has any other fixes, please share!

          Edit: Restarting phone worked

          • @pacman21: Actually force stopping the app in the settings page, not just kicking it from the app tray.

  • +3

    Has Shopback have stuffed up again? My Swap giftcard is showing as a Mothers Day Smart egift card
    Edit: was able to swap for the card I wanted, so all good.

    • I also got a Mother’s Day card lol

    • I was able to swap in prezzie to coles so I’m happy

    • Same lol

      What the heck!!

  • I only see 1.75% cashbsck, do I need to first subscribe to shopback plus

    • Yes, if you see [Shopback Plus] wrapped in square brackets in the deal title it means you need to join that membership to qualify

      Note only the $100 denom has the promo.

  • +1

    Does this stack with the Westpac promo $75 to get an extra $5 cashback?

    • Will see ordered 30 mins ago…

      • I did the same now and received a mothers day gc on prezzee. Wtf?

  • How long does it take to get the bonus $5 cashback for joining shopback plus after buying a $5+ gc?

    • instantly, can be used right after joining the plus member

      • -1

        well I haven't got the $5 plus member cashback for the $100 prezzee I just got. only the tracking $5.

  • +1

    Am I missing something why so much neg comments? Pay with existing shopback cash per month to get plus member and $5 giftcard value to cancel the monthly fee sounds like no brainer. Not sure where are all the hates coming from.

    • and then what happens next month?

      • I normally got $5-10 cashback monthly from online purchase, so the monthly fee can be easily covered by that, no out of pocket spends

        • So what we usually got is now getting taxed…

    • +3

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15756897/redir

      Right now, as you mentioned, it's basically free. Better than free, even ("give us $5, we'll give you that $5 back AND extra cashback on top!"). ShopBack is trying to lure in customers with an unsustainably good deal.

      And then, after they've gotten a good amount of subscribers, something interesting starts happening. They start upping the price ever so slightly. The cashback offered slowly starts getting worse and worse. Good features that used to exist are now gone. It happens gradually enough that you don't really notice it up until it's too late. By that time, you've already given ShopBack a bunch of money, and they've given you much less value back.

      It's called enshittification, and it's already begun. It may be a good deal right now, but it will turn to crap later. That is why people do not like this.

      • then I will move to another cashback company…lol plenty fishes out there

  • do the Shopback Plus $5 promo code comes on 1st day of the month or every month on the day we join?

    • I checked with GYB and it's on the day you join or renew.

      • Thanks mate

    • the $5 is a promo code?

  • +1

    @sintro When you join ShopBack Plus or renew each month for $4.99, you will receive $5 back to spend on gift cards.

    When you add the gift card, at the checkout, underneath the amount, there is an Apply Promo. When you click on it, the $5 will be there to apply to your order. Once used, it will disappear.

    • Thanks @trixieb…
      I'll have to use it next time then

  • Ordered for hours now but none of the challenges are complete.

  • +5

    @gotyourback what is going on at Shopback?

    -Your random Up to $50 bonus Cashback has not been tracked yet! (Waiting for the expected 10 cents)
    -Your ShopBack Gift Card Challenge has been tracked but not in the challenge and I got a Mother's Day Prezzee Gift Card instead of SuperSwap.
    -ShopBack Gift Card challenge ($5 for $75 Giftcard with Westpac has not been tracked

    You have to Upgame if you want to win the trust of the OzBargain community back.

    • +1

      @gotyourback yes, that's exactly what happened to me too.

      • +2

        They have implemented their new ShopBack Plus subscription instead of attending to existing problems with tracking. Now we have even more issues with them. I have cancelled my Shopback Plus subscription and will not sign up again.

    • Westpac $75 gc spend challenge now tracked.
      Still waiting for the random bonus challenge to track.

      • Same

    • +1

      Shopback don't care what OzBargain thinks as the majority of their customers aren't OzBargainers anymore.

  • My Econnex switch to Red Energy deal hasn't been tracked correctly on 1 July 2024 (instead of $130 showed $0), then later Rejected. It is over 90 days since I accepted the offer and the money has to be redeemable by now.

    Informed @gotyourback and Shopback support team a week ago - no updates since then, radio silence.

    I definitely won't be joining this "Plus" $5 donation program and will discourage others.

    • Better experience in cashrewards for Econnex switch. Althongh still need to contact cashrewards rep to move the status from tracked to comfirmed. I think Econnex never comfirm cashback actively. Pass 3 cashback I only have with them always need to contact cashback company to validate cashback, 2 in cashrewards and 1 in shopback. shopback took a long time.

    • I switched to dodo through econnex and it tracked without issues.

  • +1

    I removed my negative vote. My $100 has been tracked plus the Westpac Challenge. In the end, I got 10% Cashback.

    • dayum, I bought twice separately

  • +5

    Managed to buy twice, restarting my phone gave me access to the deal again (battery ran out).

    Got $5 cashback for both straight away, still waiting for the Westpac and Bank $5 bonus challenges to complete.

    Added both to Prezzee. Like others here have said the first card came through as a Mother's Day GC but the second was a SB Super Swap GC, weird (but it doesn't matter, both cards can be swapped for the same stores).

    • Saw your comment, bought another one with St George and had the $5 tracked 😂. Hopefully the $5 bonus challenge will come through.

    • +1

      +1 Amazing work.
      Looks like anyone who got the mother's day card can do this.

    • Both challenges completed.

      • I bought the 2nd one following this, the giftcard itself still pending, already about 15 mins, so maybe no longer work?

        • I think Prezzee is just a little slow at the moment, earlier I had trouble accessing my wallet. It should be fine.

          • @Hiphopopotamus: Thanks. Hopefully just as you said, already almost an hour and still pending :(

            • +1

              @hanofee: Yes it's still pending here too

              • @sintro: Seems it won't resolve by itself, at least tonight. Might need to reach out helpdesk tmrw :(

        • Bought a second one, used the $5 off promo for joining SB+, been pending for an hour or so.

          • @GimmeCashback: Still pending 11 hours later.

            • @GimmeCashback: @gotyourback with many of us didn't get the giftcard (still pending the next day), let alone getting the $5 cashback (+$5 bank bonus), will it be investigated for all, or do we have to open ticket individually?

              • @hanofee: Update: Just got notification, got the gc and the normal cashback ($5 for superswap) but no bank bonus yet

                • @hanofee: I got all tracked. for bank bonus, did u pay full (not minus $5 promo) by bank card?

                  • @test8888: I did pay in full with correct bank card, already used my $5 promo a few days back

                    • @hanofee: You should be fine, if you look at my time stamps the challenges took ~3 hours to complete after tracking.

                      • @Hiphopopotamus: Still no bank bonus, hate it when we have to keep raising ticket for something that should be straighforward like this. Even giftcard tracking doesn't work well these days :(

            • @GimmeCashback: Has come through now.

  • +2

    What the hell is this shopback plus crap. These deals were for normal shopback customers. We supported and let them thrive and this is the payment we get.

  • I ordered one and money has departed from my Westpac account but GC is nowhere to be seen 💸🤷🏻‍♂️

    • Something is wrong, mine is still pending after 3 hours, oh well, can't do much I guess

  • Got $5 and another $5 from St George debit card. Not bad for 10% off on Amazon GC

  • +2

    Purchased at 11pm hoping to use for eBay but GC is stuck on pending, reluctantly signed up to Shopback Plus and won't be renewing.

    • All fixed up now. We got more than what was offered. That's a +1 for me.

      • Mine were ready around 10am today but I'm not removing the neg, just frustrating cause the longest it has taken before for a GC to ready to use is 30 mins.

        • I ordered an Amazon gift card last night , took 12 hours lol
