  • Cashback will be used in order of expiry date, regardless of when the cashback was manually confirmed or automatically deposited.

  • Cashback expiry dates can be found in your cashback screen.

  • Refunded cashback expires within 30 days after it is added back to your cashback.

14. What is Maximum Cashback Earned Limit

Keep an eye out for our special campaigns that let you earn cashback as a percentage of your total order. Cashback is calculated based on the order price after discounts. Some campaigns will let you earn a maximum amount of cashback each time you use the applicable voucher code.


Maximum cashback earned is distributed proportionately among the items eligible for the same voucher code, based on the item price after discounts.

SCENARIO 1

Brad wants to use the voucher code CBMAX2359 which gives 10% off + 10% cashback and has a max cashback earned amount of RM 5.


He adds two items to his cart, Item A (price after discount RM 85.5) and Item B (price after discount RM 121.5). Both items are eligible for CBMAX2359.


When Brad applies CBMAX2359 to his cart, his total earned cashback for this order is RM 5 because of the maximum cashback limit. The total earned cashback of RM 5 is proportionally divided between the items in his cart.


CALCULATION:

  • Total Order Price: RM 85.5 (Item A) + RM 121.5(Item B) = RM 207
  • Item A Earned Cashback: RM 2.07 RM 5 total cashback earned x 41.4% (because Item A is 41.4% of the total order price (RM 85.5÷ RM 2.07 = 41.4%)
  • Item B Earned Cashback: RM 2.93 RM 5 total cashback earned x 58.6% (because Item B is 58.6% of the total order price (RM 121.5 ÷ RM 2.93 = 58.6%)
  • Brad decides to return Item A. He forfeits his pending cashback of RM 2.07 from Item A.


SCENARIO 2

Dave now applies CBMAXTJ3V to his cart. His total earned cashback for this order is RM 309.52: RM 5 from CBMAXTJ3V (which Dave manually entered at checkout) and RM 61.90 from CB96YN (which was automatically applied for Dave at checkout).


Dave wants to use the voucher code CBMAXTJ3V which gives 10% off + 10% cashback and has a max cashback earned amount of RM 5.


He adds two items to his cart, Item A (price after discount RM 76.5) and Item B (price after discount RM 98.1). Both items are eligible for CBMAXTJ3V.


Dave then adds Item C to his cart. Item C price after discount is RM 309.52 and is not eligible for CBMAXTJ3V. However, it is eligible for the automatically applied voucher code CB96YN. CB96YN gives 20% off and 20% cashback, has no cashback limit and is automatically added to checkout (no need to enter manually).


The total earned cashback of RM 5 is proportionally divided between the eligible items in his cart, Item A and Item B. In addition, Dave earns RM 61.90 from Item C.


CALCULATION:

  • Total Order Price: RM 76.5 (Item A) + RM 98.1(Item B) + RM 309.52 (Item C) = RM 485.12

  • Item A Earned Cashback: RM 2.19 RM 5 total cashback earned x 43.8% (because Item A is 41.4% of the total order price (RM 76.5÷ RM 174.6 = 43.8%)

  • Item B Earned Cashback: RM 2.81 RM 5 total cashback earned x 56.2% (because Item B is 56.2% of the total order price (RM 98.1 ÷ RM 174.6 = 56.2%)

  • Item C Earned Cashback: RM 61.90

    RM 309.52 (item price after discount) x 20%

  • Brad decides to return Item A. He forfeits his pending cashback of RM 2.19 from Item A.
