Good things are meant to be shared. Share the wins with your friends by referring them to ShopBack. You’ll also earn a bonus when for each friend that joins and meets the bonus Cashback requirements. Everyone wins!
How to refer a friend
Your friend needs to sign up using your:
- Unique referral link
- Or unique referral code
Make sure your friend uses your unique link or code to sign up or you won’t be able to receive the bonus.
To find your link or code, scroll to the bottom of your ShopBack app. You can directly copy the code by tapping on the Referral code or share the link via social media.
If you’re using ShopBack from a browser, click on Refer a friend that’s always available at the top of the website, next to your Cashback status.
You can share your invite link or enter your friend’s email address and we’ll share it for you.
What you both get
If you’re the referrer
First, make sure you add your Cashback withdrawal details to your ShopBack account.
You’ll then get a $5 bonus for every qualified referral. A qualified referral means your referred friend has completed all of the following:
- Sign up using your unique referral link or code.
- Spend a minimum of $20. This is recognised when Cashback associated with all the relevant purchases is confirmed.
This confirmed $20 can be spread out through multiple purchases and excludes bonus Cashback earned. Your referral bonus status will initially appear as Pending in both accounts once your referred friend signs up. It’ll change to Confirmed not more than 48 hours after your referred friend meets all the requirements.
If you received a referral
You’ll get a $5 bonus once you’ve completed all of the bonus requirements. You need to:
- Sign up with your friend’s unique link or code.
- Join the new user challenge, make your first online purchase and spend $20 via ShopBack.
- Accumulate $10 of confirmed Cashback (excludes bonus Cashback)
- Add withdrawal details to your ShopBack account.
It is only upon completion of all of the above within 180 days from friend sign up date that a referral will be considered "qualified", and the referral bonus for the referrer and referral will be paid out. The referral bonus for the referrer and referral will expire if all of the above is not completed within 180 days from the friend sign up date.
What to do if you’ve received a referral link or code
Once your friend shares their unique link or code, make sure to sign up using that link or code. This is the only way we can track cash bonuses for both of you.
- If you’re received a link, tap the link to open ShopBack. It’ll redirect you to your app store if you haven’t downloaded the app yet. If you have, we’ll apply the code for you so you can continue with your sign-up process as normal.
- If you’re received a link, open the link and go through the sign-up process.
- If you’ve received their code, make sure to enter their referral code before creating a new account. Click I have a referral or reward code to enter the code
