  Where can I find Cashback offers?  

There are two types of cashback offers: online cashback offers and in-store cashback offers.

Online cashback allows you to browse the cashback offers in the Employment Hero app and purchase from the merchant's online store via a tracked link using your Hero Wallet Visa debit card.

In-store cashback offers allow you to register your Hero Wallet card and then shop in-store.

You can find offers near your location or address by following the instructions in this article.

  How long does it take to receive my Cashback?  

For purchases made in-store, you should see your Cashback immediately. Purchases made online via the Swag app may take 30-90 days before the cashback is deposited into your Swag Spend account.  You can check the status of a cashback at any time in the Swag app.

  I need to return what I purchased - will I get to keep my Cashback?  

Returning or exchanging items on a Cashback order will void any Cashback earnings.

  Where are my card details stored?  

Your card details are encrypted on the device and securely sent to our Cashback partner. Card details are only ever displayed in part to identify cards in the Swag app. Swag does not store your card details in any form. Any information is handled in accordance with our data and privacy policies.

  How do I find businesses offering discounts?

  How do I know which purchases are eligible for Cashback?  

All of our Cashback-eligible offers are found in the Cashback section of the Swag app. Access this by following the below instructions.

  • Open the Swag app. If you do not have the app yet, click here to download the Swag app.
  • Tap on the Benefits.
  • Tap on Cashback.
  • Scroll through the Cashback offers.

  How is Cashback calculated?  

Cashback amount is calculated once GST and delivery fees have been deducted.

  What are the eligibility rules for Cashback?  

You may not be eligible for Cashback in these situations:

  • If a gift card is purchased or used as payment
  • If your order is not fully completed online
  • If your order is cancelled, exchanged or returned
  • If your purchase did not comply with the offers' terms and conditions.

  Why is my spent amount different from the qualifying amount for cashback?  

GST, delivery costs and products that are returned do not contribute to the purchase amount that is eligible for Cashback.

  Can I use Swag's cashback program in conjuction with other cashback programs ?  

No. If your card is currently enrolled with other cashback programs using Pokitpal, you will not be able to use that card to enrol in Swag's cashback program. If you would like to enrol a card for Swag's cashback program, but the card has already been enrolled in another program, you will need to unenrol from the existing cashback program and then enrol the card into the Swag cashback program for Swag's cashback benefits.
