WHAT SHOPBACK IS ALL ABOUT

It is currently partnered with over 1,300 brands from all over the world, including online giants Amazon, Booking.com, eBay, ASOS, Zalora, Woolworths Online, Lazada, Uber, Grab, Shopee, Tokopedia, Blibli.com and Alibaba.

SO IS SHOPBACK LEGIT?

Indeed. I was hesitant to try Shopback at first knowing that scamming is very rampant nowadays. Exploring the application later on, I then realized that there's nothing to lose and nothing at stake anyway. Since I do online shopping more than dropping by at the actual stores, I think earning a little something from it is a smart move. I am sharing this blog to you, as we all know that technology is a widespread idea and a lot of people spend their time doing transactions online. If you are like me who places orders through websites, I guarantee that you will enjoy having Shopback installed too, in your phone.

The app isn't hard to utilize if that's what you think. It's free and convenient in a way that every time you shop at your favorite e-commerce sites, all you have to do is open their websites via Shopback and you will automatically get cash rebates once you successfully did a purchase. Now, please be advised that it would normally takes months before they release the cashback. I think this is to ensure that the purchase doesn't include any fraudulent activities and is completely successful (meaning no cancellations/return/refund).

HERE'S HOW SHOPBACK WORKS

First, you have to download the application from the App Store. You can sign in with your Facebook account or sign up with just your regular e-mail.

Every time you are planning to shop online, make sure to open the partner merchants through Shopback's platform to ensure getting rebates for every purchase made. You'll get notifications within 72 hours about the status of the rebates earned. You can check all available balance by clicking on the profile button on the upper right hand corner of the screen (see photo above). You will be redirected to the page that gives you information about the exact balance that is withdraw-able. 

You can click on the 'Check Cashback History' to display available balance, pending earnings,  withdrawn cash as well as the points earned from the purchase made. Available balance (are the approved transactions), pending earnings (are the unconfirmed rebates) and withdrawn (successfully transferred money to your bank account).

When using Shopback, you have to be patient because it takes months before partner merchants and Shopback confirmed that there weren't any cancellations made. Yes, if you cancelled/returned any order placed through the platform, cashbacks shall be considered null and void. Only successful transactions will be honored.

Shopback requires a minimum amount of P200 available balance before a withdrawal can be made. Yes, it would take several purchases to reach 200-peso threshold. Upon accumulating that much amount for the first time, Shopback will reward you an extra P100.

Now that we reached the required threshold, we are now ready to withdraw the available balance as real money! How?

You can opt for cashouts through Paypal or bank transfer. When opting for bank transfer, you have to add a bank account and verify it through e-mail. Shopback supports several banks like BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Chinabank, East West, Globe Gcash, PNB, RCBC, Security Bank, Union bank and UCPB.

You just have to navigate to your e-mail and click the link to verify the new cashout method. I encounter error verifying the bank account through my phone so if it happens to you, use your desktop instead. I guess this feature is only available for desktop use.

Proceed to withdrawing the money and you may have to enter an OTP code sent to your registered phone. This is an additional verification step. Lastly, you may also have to verify your e-mail address by checking your mail again.

You will then receive another e-mail confirming the cashout request.

And that's it! You will receive a notification e-mail once money was successfully transferred to your preferred cashout method. You can also simply monitor your bank account to make sure it gets credited! I received the money after exactly 7 days! Other times, it would just take a business day or two.

Using Shopback is really a smarter way of shopping online, don't you think? They run promotions too from time to time wherein you could earn more by completing tasks. During sale season, there's usually an increase in the percentage of cashback that you could get, so you may want to watch out for that too.

If you have further inquiries, you may just drop it on the comment section and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Happy shopping!
