It's a no Brainer. Money back without doing anything. The days where there is a upgrade are excellent. If you've got a holiday coming up, you can get a decent amount back.

The app uses up a lot of space

The app uses up a lot of space, the cashback is tiny, and over all, the experience is tacky and scammy

Sorry it's felt this way for you. We definitely want the app and the Cashback to feel worth your while, not the opposite. We'd love to understand more about what happened on your end, so reach out to us at care@shopback.co.nz and we'll take a proper look.

It’s soo cool that you get back a certain percentage of your spend. I have noticed the prices do vary

Glad the Cashback percentages are working out for you. You're right that they do vary a bit depending on the retailer and offer, so it's always worth checking before you shop.

The game selection has too many ads and is too limited

The game selection is too limited. It doesn't include the games I currently play and the payout a too little for the amount of advertising that is forced into the games. I believe the games available are selected because of the high frequency of advertising in them.

Thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry the games side hasn't hit the mark for you. We totally get that ads and payout need to feel balanced and fair. We'll pass this on to the team, but if you'd like to share more detail, we're at care@shopback.co.nz.

eGift Card usability was unfriendly …

eGift Card purchase was a user friendly process however, trying to access the eCards after the purchase became very problematic. The difficulty arose out of being redirected to the 3rd party holding the eCards. There is no need formation saying all Gift Cards must be opened in Shopback first. As a result, the eCard purchaser is unable to spend the eGift value because the eCard has not been activated

Really appreciate the detailed feedback. Sorry the eGift Card process gave you trouble after purchase, that's not the smooth experience we want. We'd like to look into this properly, so please email us at care@shopback.co.nzwith your order details and we'll help sort it out.
