How soon is Cash Back credited to my account?
Most cash back rewards are credited within 72 hours. However, it is possible for this process to take up to 30 days. Some merchants are able to report your purchase as soon as the product ships. Some merchants, however, cannot confirm your purchase until the return period for the product you have purchased has elapsed.
Once you complete your purchase, Gabbadoo actively requests an order confirmation from the merchant so we can credit your account as soon as possible. Once the merchant finalizes the purchase details, we will immediately send you notification via email and update your account summary.
When using coupons and specials at any of our merchants, we can only guarantee your cash back rewards with the use of coupons that are listed on the Gabbadoo site.
Still wondering about a purchase made more than 30 days ago that isn't showing in your account summary? Contact Customer Care.

Why aren't the merchant links working?

How do I make sure that I am earning Cash Back?
Purchases you make at Gabbadoo merchants are only credited if you start shopping at Gabbadoo and click to the merchant from there. As much as we'd like to give you Cash Back even if you do not start at Gabbadoo, the merchants do not allow us to if you do not click through Gabbadoo prior to entering the merchant site. If you click through Gabbadoo and make a purchase, then surf elsewhere on the Web and return to that store and make a second purchase, your second purchase will not earn a Cash Back reward. (You must click through Gabbadoo every time you shop at a merchant site.) If you use multiple windows on your browser, the window in which you shop at the merchant must have been originated at the Gabbadoo website. Also, while virtually all product purchases at the merchants are eligible for Cash Back, there are a limited number of products that do not qualify for Cash Back -- see store description for details--.

What if I want to return or cancel an order?
Returns are subject to the return policy of the merchant from whom you purchased. If you return or cancel an item, we have to reverse any Cash Back earned from that sale.
Returns (also deemed as exchanges) make Cash Back ineligible. In the process of an exchange, the merchant cancels the old order and replaces it with a new one. When doing this, the Gabbadoo commission gets reversed and a new commission is not established because the merchant has created the new order (thus meaning the order was not completed through Gabbadoo - but placed through the merchant directly). Because of this, the merchant will not pay us the commission, which means we have no Cash Back to pass on to you.
To avoid losing the Cash Back - In future transactions, please make sure all returns are final and that it is not an exchange. Have the merchant refund your credit card, and then re-place the order through us to receive the Cash Back.
