Many small purchases add up
A single garment may not give much back on its own. But most people buy clothes several times a year, a jacket here, shoes there, a couple of purchases for the change of season, and then the cashback starts to accumulate into something noticeable over time.
The point is not that each purchase should give a lot, but that you get something back on shopping you were doing anyway.
Click via Sparebørsen every time, not just now and then
Cashback depends on your click from Sparebørsen to the shop being registered before you buy. Go straight to the shop's website the next time you want something, and the cashback does not appear, even if you shopped at the same shop last time.
The easiest thing is to make it a habit: check Sparebørsen first when you are going to buy clothes, whether it is a well-known favourite shop or a new one you want to try.
Returns and exchanges affect the cashback
Clothes are among the most returned and exchanged goods in Norwegian online retail: wrong size, wrong colour, or the item simply did not match expectations. Worth knowing: cashback is calculated on the purchase that actually remains after any return.
Send back all or part of the order, and the cashback is adjusted or gone for that part. It is not a penalty, it is simply because cashback follows the real purchase, not the original order amount.
Sales, clearance and cashback can be combined
Cashback comes on top of the shop's own discounts, so you do not have to choose between the sale price and cashback: you can usually get both, since the cashback is calculated from what you actually pay anyway.
Be a little more careful with discount codes you find outside the shop itself. In some cases they can mean the purchase no longer counts as having come via Sparebørsen, and then the cashback disappears along with it.
