Best Practices to Earn Cash Back Everytime You Shop Online
The tracking of your cash back is dependent on several factors:
- Your shopping actions.
- The configuration of your PC.
- Accurate tracking and reporting by the merchant plus one or more third party agents.
In detail, below are the top 10 reasons why your cash back might not be tracked successfully.
1. You do not have cookies enabled on your computer.
2. You do not log onto DealDigs.com with your user name before you click Shop Now link.
3. You go directly to the participating merchant without first clicking on Shop Now link on deal detail page or visiting our Cash Back and Coupon page.
4. You complete multiple transactions without returning to DealDigs.com to start over. (Completing each transaction ends your “cash back session” with DealDigs, and you have to start over to earn cash back on additional items).
5. You type a new address (URL) in the window opened by a DealDigs Stores or Offers page.
6. You click on any “special offers” or toolbars from other websites while shopping.
7. You allow too much time to lapse between linking to the merchant and completing the purchase.
8. You contact the merchant to change an order.
9. You fail to abide by the restrictions imposed by a Participating Merchant.
10. The Participating Merchant fails to transmit to DealDigs the commission corresponding to the transaction.
Because of this, a very small percentage of transactions might not be recorded and so cash back can never be guaranteed. Whenever we get paid for your orders with cash back from our partners, we ALWAYS award you the cash back.
Here are a list of things you should do to maximize the chance of your cash back being tracked and awarded, in descending order of importance:
1. Uninstall any browser toolbar or plugin installed by other loyalty/cash back websites. These websites include, but are NOT limited to, OnceCause, we-care, ebates and upromise. Also, DO NOT click on anything else that pops up or slides out. Examples are “Save Now” from Kazaa, or “Free Shipping, Click Here.”
2. Always clear your browser cookies before visit DealDigs and a merchant’s website.
3. Always login to DealDigs.com and click on the correct cash back link to visit a merchant immediately before every transaction. The correct link on deal detail page is “Shop Now” or the store name link on the Cash Back & Coupons page.
4. Make sure you meet the terms of the offer and complete the transaction online. If not (e.g. you need to call the merchant), you won’t get cash back.
5. Do not use links on other sites (e.g. Google, price comparison sites, other deal/cash back sites) to visit merchants. If in doubt, clear your cookies then use “Shop Now” link to visit the merchants to make the transaction.
6. Finish your order within the same browser window opened by DealDigs “Shop Now” link. Also, try to finish your order within 30 minutes.
7. Ensure that your PC / browser is configured to allow cookies, and is free of spyware, adware and ad-blocking software. Check this article regarding how to configure your PC correctly.
8. Don’t use any special codes (e.g. discounts / referrals), unless we have specifically stated that you can use them in conjunction with our cash back offers.
If you have any questions regarding your cash back, under no circumstances should you contact merchants directly. Please always submit your cash back questions through our support system. We are here for you! We want us both to get paid but the bottom line is this:
