Cashrewards vs TopCashback

If you’re looking for a new cashback site after Cashrewards’ closure, check out this page to see just how much you could save with TopCashback.

What happened to Cashrewards?

On 8 September, Cashrewards announced that they were closing and would no longer offer cashback rewards to its members. They would continue to track cashback claims until 11 September, and members can still withdraw cashback until 10 October, but they were ceasing operations.

If you love a bargain, like most Cashrewards members, then you don’t need to miss out on savings just because their website has closed. With TopCashback, you might even be able to save more.

Flexible Payout Methods

If you were an avid user of Cashrewards, you know that they had multiple ways to withdraw your available funds. You could withdraw your money directly to your bank account, or via PayPal or gift cards. There was no cost associated with any of these methods. Withdrawal as gift cards or to a bank or PayPal account was always free.

TopCashback cashback offers are almost as flexible, and gaining more options all the time. When brands pay out, you can have your funds sent to a linked bank account or a PayPal account.

Top-rated by consumers

The Cashrewards app and website boasted 4.8 on Trustpilot, reflecting how many shoppers approved of their service.

TopCashback are only slightly behind them with a 4.4 Trustpilot score, with almost all customers cheering on our cashback rates and the way we make shopping more affordable. This is ahead of other competitors, like Shopback on 4.2.

How does TopCashback work?

If you were familiar with Cashrewards, then you likely know about cashback sites in general, such as how to track your transactions, access your earnings page, and withdraw straight to your account.

However, if you have more specific questions about our website, find them below.

How does cashback work?

Cashback works because online shops pay us to direct customers to them. When you buy from one of our 1,300+ brands, they pay us. We then pass 100% of that money on to you as a cash reward for shopping with us.

All you have to do is log in to your TopCashback account, click a link on one of our brand pages, and shop like normal. Browse over a thousand top brands, including hotel bookings, homeware brands, your favourite fashion sites, and takeaway places like Uber Eats.

When on their website, add items to your cart and go to checkout like you would with any online shop. You can even make use of sales, promotions, an on-site reward program, and other money-saving tricks and still get your cashback..

How does TopCashback make money?

We don't make money directly from your brand purchases, which is why we can offer 100% of the money paid to us as cashback.

However, we do have thousands of members browsing our site looking for a great bargain. We have deals with hundreds of brands to display their best offers to customers and make them aware of the savings they could be making.

In effect, we're simply supported by sponsored adverts with no additional charges whatsoever to you or our other Australian members.

How fast are TopCashback vs Cashrewards when it comes to tracking and payouts?

All cashback sites have to wait for brands' websites to track transactions and pay out. There might be other delays dependent on the retailer's returns period or other factors. However, these tend to relate more to the brands rather than cashback providers. If a problem with a transaction hits us, it likely would have hit Cashrewards as well.

We can't offer a strict deadline for when cashback becomes payable. Assuming you don't have any issues due to using a promo code or similar, it should make its way to your account within the suggested timeframe. If it doesn't, contact our customer service team!

Why should I join TopCashback?

Cashrewards had over two million loyal members. They were one of the most beloved money-saving sites in Australia. With Cashrewards closed, you don't need to go back to paying full price for your favourite items online.

Here at TopCashback, we’re trusted by 25 million members worldwide to offer the best cashback rates on the market.

TopCashback is quicker, easier, and more flexible than Cashrewards were in some key areas, such as minimum payouts. We also offer Australia's most generous cashback deals thanks to our highest cashback guarantee. You will not get a better payout anywhere else if you send us the rate to match.

In areas where Cashrewards had the advantage, we're working every day to make up the gap. Before long, we hope to have thousands of top brands, with every retailer featured offering unbeaten cashback anywhere else.
