    In addition, ShopBack will have an upsized cashback tomorrow- 10%.

    • QCon on 08/01/2026 - 12:22

      Can ShopBack be stacked with Apple Education savings?

        I’m not associated with them in any way and can speak only from my previous experience.
        Bought an iPad from edu store, got 10% cashback from ShopBack (via the iOS app)

      • aquafaba on 08/01/2026 - 14:24

        Yes. Bought a MBA during the edu discount last year and successfully got 10% from shopback.

        • hummerh40 on 11/01/2026 - 08:06

          How much was your cashback? I purchased the MacBook Air/airpods pro combo. Total came out to $1920 yet tracked cashback at 10% is only $126

          • aquafaba on 11/01/2026 - 10:59

            @hummerh40: You should get 10% cashback on both MBA and APP (before GST). Cashback was tracked separately. I had to get support from shop back as they didn't automatically track the cashback for APP.

            • hummerh40 on 11/01/2026 - 12:37

              @aquafaba: This is what seems to have happened. Thanks I’ll reach out to them.

          • Cheapiesuser on 11/01/2026 - 12:17

            @hummerh40: Same / Similar issue with my cashback.
            I purchased the ipad Air/Apple pencil pro combo. Total came out to $1299 yet tracked cashback at 10% is only $93.04

            Ipad air $1070 ($930.43+ gst $139.57)
            Pencil pro $229 ($199.13+ gst $29.87)
            Total excluding gst = $930.43 + $199.13 =$1129.56
            10% cash back should be $112.97.

            • hummerh40 on 11/01/2026 - 12:38

              @Cheapiesuser: Yeah seems like the same issue. I’ll reach out to ShopBack and report back

              • aquafaba on 12/01/2026 - 10:36

                @hummerh40: You might have to wait for your items be delivered before ShopBack can verify their fulfilment.

                • hummerh40 on 13/01/2026 - 08:53

                  @aquafaba: The AirPods ended up being automatically tracked separately. Didn’t have to contact ShopBack. Good stuff!

                  • Cheapiesuser on 13/01/2026 - 10:51

                    @hummerh40: Yes, mine tracked as well.
                    I’ll attribute the issue to the Apple Store creating two separate invoices on different occasions, not even on the same day.
                    I did raise a ticket with ShopBack, but the issue was resolved before they even had a chance to review it.

  • MrSomeone on 08/01/2026 - 07:35

    I've been holding out for this since Airpods Pro 3 was launched. Exciting!

    Last year the cashback deal maxed out at 15% in late Jan. Hard to know if it's worth waiting in hope, or taking the bait at 10% tomorrow…

  • Divhon on 09/01/2026 - 02:16

    Looks like my route of putting it on GEM will be a pain as it seems I need to call apple to avail the 12-24 months spread out payment. Need to get that 10% cashback

    • pdevonporf on 09/01/2026 - 12:20

      I've done GEM finance a few years ago had no problems only took five minutes on the phone.

      • Divhon on 09/01/2026 - 21:31

        Shopback needs the order to be done online for the 10% cashback.

        • pdevonporf on 09/01/2026 - 22:22

          Yep I see what you mean, GEM finance the order is put through the Apple call Centre.

  • fc6tg87 on 10/01/2026 - 00:21

    Do they verify the eligibility for education? Or anyone can purchase it? I reached the checkout page/payment page and it didn't ask for any student ID, etc.

    • danz on 10/01/2026 - 10:13

      No they do not. Its pretty much a deal for all.

  • danz on 10/01/2026 - 10:14

    Missed the 10%, Shows 4% now.

    • Sun1 on 30/01/2026 - 14:09

      There is a 7% cashback which ends today!

      • darkzek on 30/01/2026 - 19:32

        There's two upcoming 10% I'd wait for instead
