Kick vs ShopBack
ShopBack is a Singapore-headquartered cashback platform that entered Australia in 2018. Kick Cashback is the Australian-owned alternative, headquartered in Melbourne, with cashback Available to claim on retailer confirmation, no AUD 10 minimum withdrawal, and direct bank transfer payouts in 1-3 business days.
How Kick Cashback differs from ShopBack
Kick is operated by Kick Pty Ltd (ABN 16 694 893 297) in Melbourne, Victoria. Kick passes most of the merchant commission back to shoppers as cashback, with the cashback lifecycle moving Earned → Pending → Available to claim → Paid out. Cashback becomes Available to claim as soon as the partner retailer confirms the purchase, with no minimum claim threshold and direct bank transfer payouts to Australian accounts (BECS) in 1-3 business days.

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 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.
