Cashback comes on top of the sale price
Many people assume cashback and discounts cancel each other out, but most shops calculate cashback on what you actually pay. If an item is reduced by 30 per cent for Black Friday, the reduced price is what the cashback is worked out from.
You pay exactly the same sum as every other customer in the shop. The difference is that a share of what the shop normally spends on marketing and commission ends up back in your account instead of somewhere else.
Check before you click through to the checkout
Black Friday is chaotic: pop-up ads, time-limited offers, and a whole day of shopping in a hurry. The only thing that really takes a little planning with cashback is that your click starts in the right place, meaning you go via Sparebørsen first and then continue straight to the shop as normal.
If you have already put items in the basket without clicking through via us, adding cashback afterwards rarely works. Make it a habit to check whether the shop is included before you start shopping.
On large purchases the percentages become real kroner
Black Friday is often the day you buy something bigger: a television, a piece of furniture, electronics costing several thousand kroner. When the purchase sum is high, the cashback is more noticeable than on an ordinary everyday shop, quite simply because it is calculated from a larger amount.
The rate varies from shop to shop and can also change during campaign periods, so it is worth checking what applies where you are about to shop.
Discount codes can spoil the cashback
One thing is worth knowing: if you use a discount code you found somewhere other than the shop itself or Sparebørsen, it can in some cases cancel the cashback. That happens because the sale is then registered as coming from a source other than your click.
If you are unsure, the safest option is to shop without external codes, or to check whether the code is listed directly on the partner page here with us.
