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 — so ShopBack only pays once the referred user's cashback has actually 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.
ShopBack referrals, answered
How much does ShopBack pay for a referral?
ShopBack does not publish the amount. Its page states only that it rewards an incentive per qualified referral, while publishing the qualification conditions in full.
How long does a ShopBack referral bonus take?
Up to 180 days. The bonus stays pending until the friend reaches S$20 of spend and S$10 of confirmed cashback, and expires if that does not happen within the window.
