How the ShopBack referral program works
ShopBack states only that it rewards you with an incentive for every qualified referral, without naming a figure. The qualification is published precisely: the friend must sign up through your link, spend at least S$20 in total, and have S$10 of cashback confirmed, all within 180 days, or both bonuses expire.
ShopBack runs a program but does not publish the amount
That is a finding, not a gap. The mechanic below is published; the value is not, and any specific figure circulating for this brand comes from third-party sites rather than the company.
What makes this program different
A long pending window. The bonus sits in a pending state for up to 180 days and can flip to rejected at the end of it. ShopBack only pays once the referred user's cashback has been confirmed by the merchant, long after the referral itself.
Why it works
Waiting for merchant-confirmed cashback means ShopBack never pays a referral bonus on a transaction that later reverses.
Excluding bonus cashback from the S$10 threshold stops the qualification being met with ShopBack's own promotional credit.
Withholding the figure keeps the programme out of coupon-site indexing while the rules stay fully transparent.
What to copy
- Align your payout timing with when your own revenue is confirmed, not when the referral happens.
- Exclude your own promotional credit from qualification thresholds, or users will meet them using money you gave them.
- ShopBack does not publish the reward amount anywhere on this page. Any figure circulating comes from third-party sites.
