Yes, for many of our retailers we have Cashback offers and coupons. Most retailers pay the same Cashback if you use a coupon code along with it. However, some retailers might pay lesser Cashback and some may not pay any Cashback at all if you use a coupon code.
3) What does Pending Cashback mean?
Pending Cashback/Rewards are those that we have tracked as transactions via GoofyCash & have been acknowledged by retailers. However, since they are still within the Return or Cancellation period you cannot transfer or redeem them yet. For example: If you make a purchase from Myntra.com through GoofyCash you will get an email from us acknowledging that you have Pending Cashback of Rs. 250 within 5 minutes. Now once the cancellation/return period is over, Myntra.com will confirm this to us and pay us in the next monthly payment cycle. We shall then move Rs. 250 to your Confirmed Earnings. However, if you cancel your order, the Cashback is cancelled as well.
4) What does Confirmed Cashback mean?
Confirmed Cashback are those that have been approved as valid sales from retailers. Once you have Rs.250 or more Confirmed Cashback you can transfer this Cashback to your Bank Account via NEFT.
5) How long after my transaction will I get my Cashback?
This varies from retailer to retailer. After you do a transaction you will get an email from us within 5 minutes to 72 hours telling you how much Cashback is due to you. This is called 'Pending' Cashback. Once the return period of your product(s) is over/stay is completed, the retailer knows that the transaction was genuine, and pays us. The status of your Cashback will automatically change to 'Confirmed'. From the time of your purchase it could take between 48 hours to 90 days for your Cashback to get confirmed.

Unfortunately no! To earn Cashback, you MUST visit the retailer via GoofyCash.com. This way the retailer can track that you went to their site through us, and will pay us a commission. We pass most of this commission to you as Cashback.

2) Why do I need to wait 3 days after my transaction before i can submit a Cashback query?
It can sometimes take up to 3 days for a retailer to track a transaction. Hence retailers do not accept any missing tickets before the end of this period.
3) When adding a new Cashback enquiry,why do i not see a certain retailer amongst my exit clicks list?
Our sophisticated system tracks every time you click out from our website to any of our partner retailers. If you do not see a retailer in the exit click dropdown then you have not visited the retailer via our website. Perhaps you forgot to sign in when you visited a retailer, in which case again the visit will not show in your exit click list.
4) What information do I need to submit for a Missing Cashback ticket?
In order to submit a Missing Cashback ticket, you need: retailer name, date, transaction amount, order or transaction reference/ID, and any other details that would help the retailer to track your transaction.
5) What do the various statuses for my Missing Cashback Ticket means?
You can track the status of your Cashback query by clicking on the "Missing Cashback" option from your "My Account" page. The meanings of the different statuses are:
1. Received: This means we have received your query and have passed on the information to the retailer.
2. Sent to Retailer: We are currently awaiting a response from the Retailer.
3. Resolved: This means your Cashback query has been closed. A query is closed when the Retailer accepts your Cashback query. In this case you will be able to see your updated Cashback under your "My Earnings" section. A query is also closed if the retailer refuses your Cashback query and decides that the sale does not qualify for Cashback, we will inform you about this via email.
Unfortunately the retailer's decision is final and we will not be able to reverse it. Remember our incentives are always aligned with yours, so we do our best to get your Cashback approved.

8) What are the reasons for a Cashback to not track or track incorrectly?
Sometimes Cashback is not paid on GST and delivery amounts. Therefore, if you think your Cashback tracked at a wrong amount then this could be one of the reasons.
In some cases, the retailer may decline your Cashback because:
The purchase was not completed in the same session.
You used another site during your transaction (e.g. a price comparison site).
You did not comply with the Terms and Conditions listed on our website and/or the retailer's.
You used a voucher code, coupon or gift code not authorized by GoofyCash.
You disabled cookies on your device and tracking could not be completed.
Generally, sticking to the terms and conditions provided on our retailer page and ensuring you follow the recommended process will minimize the risk of anything going wrong.

The retailer holds the sole discretion of determining the validity of your Missing Cashback query.

Please help us get your transaction approved from the retailer by providing all relevant proofs of purchase. Unfortunately, once a retailer has made a decision it is final and binding.
