Does anyone have experience with the cashback claim for TEMU from Shopback? Is it better to return the order or wait for the outcome?

The word you are looking for is an "acroynm," not slang… but nice try👍
- I didn't want to confuse the cool kids with big words like acronymn.
- They don't sound as cool if they're using acronyms versus slang.
I wonder what the unpublished comment was
@Downvoter: I think it was something about managers being too lazy to use short words so they use an acronym, or similar to that.
How do you do, fellow kids?
It's technically an initialism because there is no way you can say the word and not sound like you're having a stroke.
The board has rejected your acronym for failing to adhere to the 7 letter guideline.

I think I can safely speak on behalf of the OZB community when I say that nobody uses that acronym
I've never shopped Temu.

Best to read the payment timeframe and make sure it was tracked for your particular cashback site.
OK thanks
Is it better to return the order or wait for the outcome?
WTF? Return the over over a missing few dollars from the cash back?
No wonder we can't have nice things.
It is 41% cashback, not just a few dollars. I placed the order because of the cashback, which is about $70. Temu is not good at tracking cashback, so Temu has to pay for their tracking system, not us. In the cashback deal, you can find many people who get their missing cashback claim rejected after a few months.
If you did everything correctly and your missing cashback claim is rejected by Shopback then contact AFCA. They will give Shopback a kick up the proverbial.
I just found out my cashback claim from Temu got rejected last year. I did everything correctly. I definitely will return this order. I contacted shopback. I only got an auto-reply
We understand it can be frustrating when Cashback doesn’t track as expected. To resolve this issue, we’ve sent your claim to the merchant, and they’re currently reviewing it.
For now, no further action required from you, we’ll close this ticket
41%
Ok… well 41% isn't a 'normal' cashback rate…. So are you sure you meet all the special terms?
In the cashback deal, you can find many people who get their missing cashback claim rejected after a few months.
So lots of hoops to get it then?
I am sure I meet all the special terms. Last time I used Topcashback. And didn't track. They approved my cashback a few months later.
You can check any Temu cashback post and search track you can find lots of orders didn't track
for example:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/892630they have the worst tracking, 3 out of 4 times I’ve used them it didn’t track
Temu wont track. Need to file claim manually each time
Me too, used temu with topcashback 4 times previously. Only 25% success rate.
another example of why a cashback should not be the main reason for a purchase.
plus, what makes you think Temu is going to refund you for change of mind???
yeah Temu has change of main refund
Message their support and ask?
shopback is very hard to contact support. not phone number and no email, only online chat with robot
I opened up a ticket successfully recently regarding a missing cashback that ticked over the 90-day threshold and didn't have an issue, that was through the chatbot and no I'm not a Shopback Plus member (Which apparently gives you 'Priority' support if you are!)
I am plus member but what is priority support?
@RichardF89: This is one of the 'Rewards' as part of being ShopBack Plus member, what that actually means is anyone's guess… Maybe someone with a ShopBack Plus membership that has taken advantage of the 'Priority' support can chime-in here and elaborate

I have had a number of TEMU orders not track or get rejected. I am done with shopback. The CS is non-existent. There is one user here on OzB that works for them, that is lovely. But good luck dealing with the company directly.
I have given up on Temu - nothing ever tracks regardless which cashback site you use.
I'm in the same boat with Temu. Had a $60 cash back missing. Put in request and had it rejected 2 days ago. Will be cancelling Shopback account.
I just found out my cashback claim from Temu got rejected last year.
After many correct cashbacks…
We did some largish purchases at high cashback and
$600+ worth of them have been rejected.I am giving ShopBack a few days to correct the situation
otherwise AFCA will be informed. Hopefully they'll deal with
them suitable.Also, particularly annoying after I explained/complained
and quoted their own fine print to them.
They changed the fine print. (yay for https://web.archive.org/)Mine just got approved after about 2 months. About $70 so I'm happy.
did yours tracked at beginning?
Nope, did a claim, which then got the status waiting for Temu, and was stuck like that for 2 months. It did automatically calculate how much cashback I'm supposed to get so maybe it did track.
OK, mine also shows how much I can get. But my claim, which was rejected last year, also shows how much I can get. I think the amount is based on the cashback rate and the amount of money you entered.
In B4 all the cool kids start using slang…
