✅ What Qualifies for Cashback

Complete your purchase in one session.

Cashback only works when you click through from LoveCashback.ie and finish your order immediately in the same browser session.

Allow cookies and tracking.

Cashback relies on tracking links. Don’t use incognito browsing, ad blockers, or privacy extensions as they can block cashback tracking.

Cashback is usually calculated before VAT and delivery.

Retailers normally pay cashback on the product subtotal before VAT, shipping or other fees.

Shop online only.

Cashback is valid only for purchases completed fully online. In-store or phone orders usually don’t qualify.

Look out for pending cashback.

Your cashback should appear as pending within 30 days. If it doesn’t, you can file a missing cashback claim within 12 months.

Cashback rates can change at any time.

The rate shown when you click through is normally the one that applies. However, retailers can change or withdraw offers without notice.

Tracked amounts may vary at first.

Cashback may track at a temporary rate. Once the retailer confirms your order, the final rate will be updated.

Mixed baskets default to the lowest rate.

If you buy products with different cashback rates, the lowest rate may apply to your entire basket.

Check the latest terms.

We keep rates and terms updated, but they can change. Always check before you purchase.

Contact us, not the retailer.

Cashback is managed by us, not the store. If something goes wrong, get in touch with our support team.

Final decisions rest with the retailer.

Retailers may decline cashback for fraudulent or unusual activity. Always shop as normal.

⛔️ What Doesn’t Qualify for Cashback

Private or incognito browsing.

These modes block the cookies needed for tracking purchases.

Ad blockers or cookie blockers.

These can prevent cashback from being tracked.

Paying with gift cards or store credit.

Buying gift cards themselves.

Gift card purchases are usually excluded from cashback.

Combining cashback with other offers.

Third-party promotions, staff discounts, or student discounts may stop cashback from being paid.

Clicking through other cashback or comparison sites first.

If another site is visited before LoveCashback.ie, the purchase may not track here.

Purchases for resale.

Cashback is intended for personal use, not for bulk buying or reselling.

Excluded items.

Some categories may not qualify, such as medicines, subscriptions, or certain premium brands. Always check the small print.
