TA's comment on how to determine the category of an item.

What will stop me getting my cashback

  • You must empty your Amazon cart prior to clicking from TopCashback. Failure to do so will result in an untracked purchase, and claims will not be approved.
  • Cashback is ineligible on purchase of gift cards, vouchers, Kindle Unlimited, Audible, mobile apps, Amazon Prime subscriptions & renewals, bulk orders, commercial or reseller purchases.
  • Cashback is ineligible if using any Amazon credit as partial or full payment. However cashback is eligible if using Amazon gift cards or gift card balance as payment.
  • Second and subsequent Subscribe & Save orders are ineligible for cashback (only first Subscribe & Save orders in eligible categories are eligible).
  • Cashback is ineligible if using any codes entered manually in the 'Promo Code' field.
  • Cashback is ineligible on use of any codes not approved and posted by TopCashback.

What else is essential

  • Cashback is eligible if using a gift card or Amazon gift card balance as payment.
  • You must start with an empty cart prior to clicking through to Amazon.
  • Pre-orders are eligible for cashback provided they are scheduled for shipment within 60 days of purchase, however they may not track to your account until shipped.
  • Engaging with plugins such as Honey, AdBlock, uBlock, Pi-hole, VPNs, and browsers such as Brave may prevent your order from tracking.
  • You must always return to TopCashback and click the pink cashback button through to the retailer's website for each new transaction. Ensure the TopCashback link is the last one used to visit the retailer's website prior to completing your purchase.
  • Any accounts that engage in fraudulent orders/activities to game/cheat the cashback system will be banned and cashback forfeited.

Good to know

  • 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.
  • Purchases from Amazon US/UK are ok, provided you navigate & make the transaction via Amazon AU.
  • Most retailers calculate cashback based on purchase amount excluding GST, other taxes, and delivery fees. Your cashback may report lower than expected due to this.
  • If an order is cancelled / returned / exchanged / modified, it will no longer be eligible for cashback and will be declined in your account.

TA's Tips:

  • Amazon tracking typically takes 24 hours (but can take up to 7 days) to report into accounts (Amazon tracking is not instant).
  • For tracking success, ensure you disable 3rd party plugins (AdBlock, uBlock, Pi-hole, Honey, etc), VPNs, and avoid browsers such as Brave.
  • Close any additional browser tabs, and don't click away to other sites after clicking from TopCashbackAU as tracking will be lost. TopCashbackAU must be your last click (not 3-Camels etc).
  • Try our iOS/Android mobile app (https://www.topcashback.com.au/app/) for improved tracking results.
  • Use our Help Centre & Contact form here (https://www.topcashback.com.au/help/) for any questions or issues.

  • Looking at getting an ecoflow power station, would that be categorized as electronic?

    • I'm not sure. I picked a random Ecoflow power station and it seems to show up as "Home Improvement" at 10% cashback. Amazon doesn't always follow the category on the page we see so it's a rough guide and not a certainty. Hope it won't be "other" at 0.5% cashback.

      Amazon doesn’t always get the categories right. If this tracks incorrectly probably best to cancel the order.

      • Thankfully the one I wanted was home improvement, I picked another and it was automotive.

      • +1

        I fully agree with if this tracks incorrectly or doesn't track at all, just return it. Don't bother with open a case and dispute running for months. It's a waste of life.

  • Is a computer desk categorised as Home improvement?

    • Sorry no. It seems to be under "Home" or "Other" at 0.5% cashback.

  • +1

    Amazon + TCB is a disaster zone. No thanks. All kinds of problems.

    Case 1: I have kept screen shots of cashback rate, category, to dispute a incorrect track. But still can't win the case. In fact TCB don't even dare to send me a email to inform they have closed the case.

    Case 2: Still ongoing. Black Friday buys wasn't tracked.
    Too late to return all the Black Friday stuff isn't it.

    I have discontinued using TCB until the outcome of case 2.

    • I've had similar issues with TCB - transactions not tracking at all (even with major retailers).

      Recently, I disputed an untracked transaction and they said it was "on ice". Meaning it had tracked behind the scenes but until I noticed and actively chased it up I wouldn't have known what was going on.

    • Yeah same - Black Friday 29th Nov with Amazon

      TCB declined the cashback when it tracked at $144.50 - case lodged and now pending.

      Will be moving back to Shopback, not once have I had an issue yet, touch wood!
