Cashback Questions
Why isn't my cashback showing?

Reasons for missing cashback or unreported sales.

Thousands of transactions go through our system everyday without any problems and member accounts are updated on a daily basis.
If you have made a purchase and the cashback is not showing in your account this means the transaction is still in the early stages and the merchant hasn't reported to us yet or on a rare occasion the transaction hasn't been tracked.

The usual reasons for orders not being tracked are:
1. Our member was not logged into our site therefore our links weren't used to make the purchase.
2. The purchase was not wholly completed online. If the order was completed on the phone or by any other means apart from using our links to complete the purchase, the retailers will not pay.
3. Our member may not have had cookies enabled in their browser or may have some other security settings preventing the tracking.
4. On the very odd occasion, merchants may have a problem with links tracking. If they do, and we can provide them with all the relevant details of the order, they will verify it and usually pay the cashback.

On all occasions of untracked sales or missing transactions, we will do our best to assist you get your cashback by contacting the relevant shops.


When do I decide my cashback is missing?

We update member's accounts at least once a day, so that your transactions show in your account as soon as details are reported to us from the retailers.

Most purchases you make will show in your account within a day or two, but some of our partners process transactions in batches and only report to us a few times a month. So please allow a week or two before deciding that the transaction hasn't been tracked.

If your account has not been updated to be showing your cashback, please send us a support ticket. Please provide as many details about the purchase as you can (order number, date, membership number, merchant etc.) as this helps and speeds up the retailers investigation process.

We will do our best to get you the cash back for the purchase made and chase it up with the retailer concerned. Please note that the merchants may take several working days to respond and investigate. We will keep you updated on any issues and chase up with the merchant if there are any delays in the matter.


What should I do about missing cashback?

Although most purchases will show in your account within a day or two of making them, occasionally some of our partners only report to us a few times a month as they process transactions in batches, so please give it at least two weeks before deciding the transaction hasn't been tracked.

After this period, if your account has not been updated and the cash back isn't showing, please send us a support ticket providing as many details you possibly can about the purchase (order number, date, membership number, merchant etc) which will help our merchants to investigate.

We will chase it up with the retailer concerned and do our best to get you the cash back for the purchase. Please note that some of our partners can take several working days to respond and investigate the missing transaction.

We will keep you updated on any issues and chase it up with the merchant if there are any delays.


What if I have lost my purchase details?

I have a missing cashback but can't seem to find my purchase details. Can you still chase it up with the merchant?

We would like to help you, but unfortunately the merchants are not able to investigate and locate any missing transaction without any details. They will not be able to take any queries from us without supplying the details of the purchase.

The minimum essential details required to chase up missing transactions are the name of the merchant, the product you bought, price, the date and the order number/membership number/reference number.

Please try to find the email they sent you when you purchased the product, or a receipt or other paperwork with these details. Sometimes it will help if you give the merchant a call and ask them for the details if you have lost them.


Is there a time frame for reporting missing transactions?

Yes, as you will understand it is impossible to chase up any missing transactions that are too old. Therefore, if you have any missing transaction you must report this to us within 2 months. Simply submit a ticket to our helpdesk with all the relevant details of your transaction and we will chase it up with the merchant concerned.


Account Questions
Why is my cashback still showing as pending?

How long does it take for my cashback to change from "pending" to "approved" status?

If you do not know what the various transaction statuses that show in your account mean (pending, approved and paid) please click here

We have more than 1200 merchant partners and they all vary on the times they take to approve their transactions. They need to allow time for returned goods and cancelled orders and depending on the merchant, can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months, with an average time of about 2 months. This is the usual time frame the merchants take for approving transactions; there are no delays from our side.

We update all payments reported to us at least twice a day, so please be assured that we do approve pending transactions as soon as we get approval from the merchants.

We do keep a track of every transaction and do whatever we can to get your cashback as soon as we possibly can. If merchants do seem to be delaying approval a bit longer, we chase them up even without you asking.

In the meantime, many thanks for your patience!


Do I have to do anything if my cashback is showing as pending?

If the pending transaction is less than 3 months old, you do not have to do anything. In the very rare occasion that it is more than 3 months old, our system will alert us and we will then contact the merchant to get it approved.

If you wish to contact us, you are always welcome to submit a ticket.


How do I check my account balance?

You can check your account balance by simply logging in to your account at www.cashbacktoyou.co.uk and clicking on the MY ACCOUNT link on the top of the page.


What are the different transaction statuses showing in my account?

There are 4 statuses that can be showing in your account, to indicate what stage your transaction is at.

Pending: The merchant has tracked your transaction but it has not yet been validated. Merchants will usually report a transaction as pending, before they check on payment details, cancellations/returns etc.

Approved: the merchant has approved the transaction and the Cashback has been added to your account.

Reversed/Failed: The merchant has reported to us that they will not pay for this transaction (goods returned, payment failed etc). Sometimes merchants can reverse or fail transactions if they suspect fraud or their terms and conditions are not being adhered. If you think the merchant has failed a transaction by mistake, please submit a ticket with the relevant details of the transaction. We will then contact the merchant and ask them to investigate.

Paid: We have paid you the cashback. We have sent you a payment via BACS.


Is my CashbackToYou account free?

Yes, membership is completely free, we even give you £5.00 FREE welcome bonus to get you started. You will not be charged by us at anytime for using our website, either directly or indirectly. We do not have any future plans to start charging members either.


Can my friends or family members use my account?

No. If you want anyone else to take advantage of earning cashback and other offers, please refer them as your friend and get £5 free cash from us for doing so.

Your account is for your own personal use and no one else is allowed to use it for his or her purchases. We cannot provide support for sales that are completed under a different name to yours, and we cannot process enquiries regarding them as the merchant may not pay for this.

Our relationship with our online partners is based on us monitoring members and creating quality business to them and we are answerable to them for the misuse of accounts from our members.


Why should I login everytime I want to shop online?

Why do I need to log in to www.cashbacktoyou.co.uk every time before making my online purchases?

We need to be able to identify you and to track your purchases, so we can credit cash back to your account.

We will not know who was shopping from our online partners if you are not logged in, and our partners may not know which site you were referred from either. Therefore we may not be able to pay the cashback to you, if you are not logged in.


Can I cancel my membership?

Of course, you can cancel your membership at any time. We are confident that our members will continue to use our free service and want to keep earning cash back, however if you wish to cancel your membership, you can do so at any time by sending us a support ticket.


Can I have more than one CashbackToYou account?

No. Our Terms and Conditions state clearly that each individual should have only one CashbackToYou account.

Our relationship with partner merchants is established on the one member per account basis and we are held accountable for that.

If we find any member operating duplicate accounts or breaching our terms in any way, we will suspend them without any prior notice.


What should I do if I have forgotten/lost my password?

You can get a new password sent to you if you provide your registered email id in the appropriate box in the login page.

Using the new password, you can login to your account and change your password again by updating it on the "my profile" page. If you need any assistance, please do let us know by submitting a support ticket.


Payment Questions
How is my cashback paid?

Payments are sent through BACS. You also need to fill in your valid UK address so we may prevent people from outside the UK (mis)using our site.


Why do I need to earn £25 before I get paid?

To provide you with the best deals, cover the welcome bonuses and promotions, reduce administration and marketing costs etc., we can only pay when a member's account balance reaches the minimum threshold of £25.00

Considering the amount of cash back and discounts you can get from our site, the limit is quite easy to reach. This is also to stop people from joining repeatedly in different names just to receive the £5 free welcome bonus.

Whether you earn this limit in a day or it takes 6 months, you can take your time and sit back and watch the extra cash grow in your account without spending anything extra.


When will my cashback be paid?

Payments are made every month on or around the 7th day.We will pay all our members whose approved cashback balance has reached £25 or more.

We have set the payment threshold at £25, but if you prefer to save this amount for a bigger cashback, you can change the payment threshold on your account by updating your profile to a higher limit.


Tracking and Links
What if my purchase isn't completed online?

For your purchase to be tracked, you must complete the transaction wholly online whilst being logged into our site.

If you start your order online and then complete the purchase over phone or by any other means, the retailer probably won't track the transaction and can even decline it.

We will not be able to do much about the retailers decisions on incomplete transactions, so to make sure you get the cashback, please login to www.cashbacktoyou.co.uk and use our links to complete your purchase online.


Can I use the CashbackToYou links externally?

No, our links cannot be used externally.For you to earn cashback through CashbackToYou, you must be logged into your account and visit the retailers through the links on our site.


How can I make sure my purchases are tracked?

It is not difficult to make sure your purchases are tracked so you can get your cash back. Most members will get their cash back just by logging into our site and using our links, without the need for any special software or settings on their computer. But to be safe and make sure you get the cashback everytime, please read the following.

1. You must be logged in to www.cashbacktoyou.co.uk and click through to the retailers websites from our site before making your purchase everytime. Otherwise you will not get your cash back because the retailer will not pay us.

2. Please make sure that you have cookies enabled on your browser, this sounds much more complicated than it is. Dont worry, most computers and internet browsers under normal settings are already enabled.

3. For the maximum chance of your transaction being tracked, you should complete the purchase online in the same session after you click through from our site. If you make the purchase from another website, over the phone or by any other means you will not get any cash back from CashbackToYou.

4. If other people use your computer or if you use other shopping sites, please make sure that you clear your cookies before making any major purchase through our site. Sometimes, other websites can plant cookies or software on your computer and this can lead to them being paid the commission instead! (So far, we have only come across a few incidents of this nature amongst thousands of transactions)

Is it cheaper to buy directly from the retailers?

No, you pay the same price for products and even less if you use a discount voucher code or special offer from our website.

The retailers do not charge any extra for shopping through our website.


How can you give away free cash? What's the catch?

There is absolutely NO catch at all!

The online retailers pay commissions to websites for sending customers to them. Most of the websites and shopping directories you will find online keep the commission for themselves, but we share it with you,by way of cash back.

Remember that you will not be charged anything extra by the retailer for using the links on our site, and you will not be charged anything from us either.


Do you need my credit card details?

No, we do not require your credit card details as we do not take any payments from you, and we will never ask you for any of your credit card or financial details by email or phone.
