Troubleshooting Common Issues


Issue 1: Product or Category Exclusions

  • Check for Excluded Items:

    • Merchants may exclude certain items, categories, or brands from cash back eligibility. To resolve:

    • Visit the “Terms & Exclusions” section on the cash back activation page before shopping.

    • Ensure your desired item is not excluded.

Issue 2: Different Cash Back Rates by Category

  • Review Store-Specific Categories:

    • Merchants can set varying cash back rates for different item categories. To verify:

    • Visit the merchant’s page on Rewardsweb.

    • Check the listed cash back rates for your specific product category.

Issue 3: Using Non-Partner Coupon Codes

  • Stick to Rewardsweb-Approved Codes:

    • Using coupon codes from outside sources can void your cash back. To avoid this only apply coupon codes provided through Rewardsweb.

Issue 4: Canceled Orders or Returns

  • Order Adjustments:

    • Cash back is voided for canceled orders or adjusted for returns. To maintain accurate tracking:

    • Double-check return policies and ensure your returns align with cash back terms.

Issue 5: Browser Interference and Tab Switching

  • Avoid Multi-Tab Browsing:

    • Completing a purchase in a different tab from the one you started on can disrupt cash back tracking. To prevent issues finish your purchase in the original tab opened via Rewardsweb.

Connectivity Tip: Re-activate cash back if your session has been idle to refresh tracking.

Issue 6: Browser Compatibility and Settings

  • Ensure Proper Browser Configuration:

    • For seamless tracking, check that your browser settings are up to date:

      • Use a compatible browser (Chrome for now).

      • Clear cache and cookies, and enable cookies for Rewardsweb.

      • Adjust ad blocker settings or install the Rewardsweb filter list to avoid tracking disruptions.

Issue 7: Processing Timeframes

  • Understand Confirmation Delays:

    • Cash back confirmation times depend on the merchant’s policies. For example, travel bookings may only confirm cash back after the travel date.
