Which stores have the highest cashback rates right now?
Category: Portal Cashback (650+ Stores)
The highest cashback rates in Australia right now are listed live on the Kick stores page — they change daily, sometimes hourly during big sale events. The single best way to find today's top rates is to open the stores directory and sort by cashback. Below is what the typical ranges look like across categories, and how to spot a genuinely strong deal versus one that just looks high.
Typical cashback ranges by category
Travel (flights, hotels, holiday packages): often 4-12% — among the highest in any category. See travel cashback.
Software, web hosting and digital services: 5-25%, sometimes higher on annual plans.
Electronics and tech: 1-5% (lower because retailer margins are thinner) — see electronics cashback.
Groceries and supermarkets: 0.5-3%, rarely higher.
Telecommunications (new SIM plans, NBN sign-ups): often a flat dollar amount of $40-$200 per new connection.
Insurance (health, car, home): $20-$150 flat per new policy.
What "highest rate" really means
A 25% cashback on a $30 purchase is $7.50. A 4% cashback on a $1,500 flight is $60. The headline percentage isn't the whole story — the dollars-back figure is what actually lands in your bank account. For high-value categories like travel, even modest-looking percentages translate into the biggest payouts on Kick.
When are rates highest?
Rates spike during retailer sale events. The four biggest in Australia are Click Frenzy (May and November), End of Financial Year (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (late November), and Boxing Day. Cashback rates are often doubled or capped at higher tiers during these windows, and it's the one time of year when stacking cashback with a retailer-approved promo code compounds savings dramatically.
How to check today's rates
Sign in at kickpay.co, open the stores page, and sort by cashback rate (highest first). The Kick Cashback portal always shows the live rate at the moment you view the page. Don't rely on rates you saw yesterday — affiliate networks update frequently. See all 650+ stores here.
Important caveat
The cashback rate that applies to your purchase is the rate on the store's Kick Cashback page at the moment you click through, not the rate when you started browsing or the rate when you finished checkout. Always click through from Kick Cashback once you've decided to buy, not earlier in your research. More on how cashback rates are set and credited.

Our Experience
We are a first-party cashback platform — we work directly with retailers rather than reselling another company's network. Our team negotiates cashback rates, manages partner relationships, and processes payments in-house. According to industry data published by IAB Australia, affiliate and cashback marketing represented over $1 billion in tracked Australian retail sales in 2024 (source: IAB Australia Online Advertising Expenditure Report). Kick Cashback is part of this growing sector and is committed to passing the majority of retailer commissions back to shoppers as cashback.
Our editorial team draws on direct experience working with major Australian retailers and global affiliate networks. We publish detailed cashback information, retailer terms, and shopping guides based on first-hand knowledge of how cashback tracking, attribution, and payments work. Where industry standards or regulatory guidance applies — such as the Australian Consumer Law administered by the ACCC, or the Privacy Act 1988 administered by the OAIC — we cite the relevant source so readers can verify our claims.
