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.

or you can have the money sent to you via PayPal, at the end of the month or
30 days after your purchases were completed . However, if you want to receive

Why aren't the merchant links working?
Some programs that you may have installed can update the "Hosts" file
of your computer. This may cause problems with the Gabbadoo program.
In many cases, you will not be able to reach our merchant sites if your Hosts
file has been altered.

How do I receive my Cash Back?
You have Two choices:
1) Gabbadoo Cash Back Check: We send a check directly to you at any cost to
you. You can change your personal settings (including your address) on the
Account Settings page. Be sure your settings are updated before we send out
a payment. If no address is present in your account profile, we’ll simply
keep the money in your account, and your total will carry over into the next
quarter.
2) PayPal: We deposit your payment in your PayPal account- at any cost to you
too. Just enter your full name and mailing address into your Account Profile
for verification purposes.

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--.

Can I use special offers and coupons and still earn Gabbadoo Cash Back reward?
We provide you with specials and coupons that you can combine with Cash Back
for maximum savings and earnings. We provide you with an extensive list of
merchant specials and coupons. If you choose to use coupons and specials that
are not listed on Gabbadoo, we cannot guarantee that you will be eligible to
receive an Gabbadoo Cash Back reward on your purchases.
Furthermore, please be advised that coupons and special offers listed on Gabbadoo
are subject to change. Restrictions may apply. Gabbadoo tries to present the
most accurate offers but cannot make guarantees due to the time-sensitive nature
of these promotions.

Can I use alternative payment methods while shopping through Gabbadoo?(Google
Checkout/Paypal)?
We do not recommend using alternative payment methods during checkout, since
we cannot ensure that cash-back will be earned if Google Checkout or Paypal
is used as the method of payment for your purchase.
Back to top
Do all purchases qualify for Cash Back rewards?
Virtually every item you purchase through Gabbadoo qualifies for Cash Back.
We cannot, however, give Cash Back for taxes, shipping, or any portion of
a purchase that is paid for with coupons, gift certificates or a store credit.
Any purchase of products and services in which the transaction is substantially
completed by telephone does not qualify for a Cash Back. In addition, a few
cases where merchants have specifically noted that they will not pay Cash
Back are listed below:
Merchant Related Exceptions
Wal-Mart: Purchases of tires and optical products are not eligible Cash Back.
Prescriptions: purchases of prescription medications are not eligible for Cash
Back rewards in the Gabbadoo shopping program.

Do gift certificates qualify for Cash Back rewards?

with gift cards or certificates. Nor can we give Cash Back for the purchase
of gift certificates or gift cards, with the exception of certain stores.

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.

What are "cookies" and how do I enable them?
