Can my partner or household have a separate Kick Cashback account?

Category: Your Account

Every person in your household can have their own free Kick Cashback account. A partner, flatmate or family member can sign up with their own email address, link their own Australian bank account for payouts, and earn cashback on their own purchases without affecting yours. What isn't allowed is one shopper opening multiple accounts in different names to claim more than one cashback amount on a single purchase.

One person, one account

Kick Cashback allows a single account per person. Each account is tied to a unique email address and a unique Australian bank account (BSB and account number combination) for payouts. This rule exists to prevent fraud — if someone could open ten accounts and claim cashback on the same purchase from each one, the affiliate networks would suspend Kick Cashback from the programme entirely, and every shopper would lose access. The one-account rule keeps the platform working for everyone.

How household members each get their own account

  1. Each person signs up at kickpay.co with their own email address.
  2. Each person nominates their own bank account for payouts. Joint bank accounts can be used by either of the joint holders, but not by a third household member.
  3. Each person clicks through from their own Kick Cashback portal when they shop, on their own device or browser session.

This is exactly the same as how each adult in a household has their own credit card or their own loyalty programme membership — the accounts are independent, and cashback earned on one doesn't transfer to the other.

Can we share one account across the household?

You can, but it's usually less convenient — only one person has the dashboard logged in at a time, payouts go to one bank account, and household members may shop on devices that don't share cookies with the main account. Two separate accounts is almost always smoother.

What counts as the same person?

The same person is identified by name, date of birth, contact details and bank account combination. If the same person tries to open a second account (for example to bypass claim limits on a new account), the duplicate is closed and any cashback earned on it is voided. There's no penalty beyond the closure — the legitimate first account is unaffected.

Edge cases worth knowing

  • Both partners shop on the same device. Fine — but each partner should sign in to their own Kick Cashback portal in their own browser profile (or sign in/out between sessions) so the cashback tracks to the right account.
  • Children under 18. A Kick Cashback account is intended for adults. A parent shopping for the family on their own account is fine; opening an account in a child's name is not.
  • Business or trust accounts. Kick Cashback is currently a personal-shopper service. Business cashback rules around tax treatment differ — see our cashback and Australian tax note.

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.
