What Should I Bother with ShopBack?
You can easily get up to 12% (or even more!) of your online expenditure back via internet banking. If you book for flights and hotels or if you shop online (e.g. Taobao, RedMart, Zalora and Asos), you could be missing out on a hefty cashback.
What Do I Need to Do?
For starters, you need to sign up for a free ShopBack Singapore account in order to even start earning cash backs.
After you register for a free ShopBack account (and get S$5 credited inside), all you have to do is to search for the store you want to buy online and from and then just click through ShopBack to be redirected to the website of your choice. Complete your purchase online and your transaction will be logged, processed and you will receive your rebate shortly. It is that easy!

So I have got your interest now and you want to see it in action? Let's take RedMart for example - we all know that they do complimentary delivery if you spend above S$49 (actually it is just S$30 minimum spending now for a limited time only) and they have really competitive prices. For the sake of illustration, let's assume that you would like to purchase an item that is currently selling for S$100 on RedMart. You will be faced with the following scenario:
SCENARIO ONE
Just Purchase the Item on RedMart
- Go to www.RedMart.com
- Add S$100 item to cart
- Checkout with a random payment method - Pay S$100
Total Savings = S$0
SCENARIO TWO
I want to Use my Miles/Cashback Card
- Go to www.RedMart.com
- Add S$100 item to cart
- Checkout with a specific credit card - Pay S$100
- Citibank Rewards/UOB Preferred Platinum Visa - Earn 400 Miles
- OCBC Frank Card - Earn S$6 Cashback (with minimum spending of S$500)
Total Savings = S$6 OR 400 Miles
SCENARIO THREE
I want to be Smart and Save!
- Go to ShopBack
- Search for RedMart and go to the site via ShopBack
(at the time of writing, RedMart is offering 9% rebate on ShopBack ) - Add S$100 item to cart
- Checkout with a specific credit card - Pay S$100
- Citibank Rewards/UOB Preferred Platinum Visa - Earn 400 Miles
- OCBC Frank Card - Earn S$6 Cashback (with minimum spending of S$500)
