Can I get cashback on Click & Collect or in-store purchases?

Category: Portal Cashback (1,000+ Stores)

Click & Collect orders earn cashback when the order is placed online through your Kick Cashback portal — picking up the order in store doesn't change anything. Pure in-store purchases (walk in, choose products from the shelf, pay at the counter) almost never earn cashback, because the partner network has no online click to attribute the sale to.

Click & Collect: yes, the same as a normal online order

Click & Collect, BOPIS (Buy Online, Pick up In-Store), reserve-online-pay-in-store, and similar hybrid models all qualify for cashback as long as you start the transaction online by clicking through your Kick Cashback portal. The fulfilment method (parcel delivery vs in-store pickup) is irrelevant to the cashback tracking — what matters is that the click, the cookie, and the order all happen in the same online session.

This works at most major Australian chains and online retailers that offer Click & Collect. Cashback is calculated on the order value the retailer charges you online (less any gift cards or store credit applied), not on the delivery method.

Pure in-store purchases: usually no

If you walk into a store, pick up something from the shelf, and tap your card at the counter, there's no online order, no portal click, and no tracking cookie — so the partner network has no way to attribute the sale to Kick. The retailer's point-of-sale system doesn't pass any "this customer came from Kick" signal because there isn't one.

This is the case at the vast majority of Australian retailers. There's no workaround that involves logging into the retailer's app at the counter, scanning a portal QR code, or showing your phone — none of those signals are visible to the partner network.

The narrow in-store exceptions

Outside these narrow cases, treat in-store as a no-cashback channel and use your Kick Cashback portal for online and Click & Collect orders. More on portal click tracking.

How to maximise your in-store cashback

If a retailer offers both online and in-store, default to online (with delivery or Click & Collect) when there's a meaningful cashback rate — the small inconvenience of waiting a day for delivery or making a separate trip is usually worth more than the cashback you forgo by walking in and paying at the counter. Browse the stores directory to compare today's online cashback rates before your next shop.
