Cashrewards Max Ultimate Guide

Cashrewards has launched Cashrewards Max, exclusively for eligible ANZ cardholders. The program offers cashback with more than 1,700 brands, and if you have an eligible ANZ credit or debit card, you’re already halfway there.

Cashrewards Max is a premium version of the Cashrewards experience, offering access to all the standard benefits plus bigger cashback deals and faster approvals when you pay with a linked ANZ card. It’s free to join and offers cashback when shopping with leading brands such as Apple, Amazon, Cotton On, THE ICONIC, Rebel, Uniqlo and Uber.

How Cashrewards Max works

To get started you’ll need to link your eligible ANZ card to a Cashrewards account (more on that later). From there you will earn cashback every time you shop instore or online with a Cashrewards partner and use your linked ANZ card to pay.

Cashback accumulates in your Cashrewards account and can be sent to a bank account or PayPal after earning at least $10.01 cashback.

The difference with Cashrewards Max is that ANZ cardholders receive offers with higher cashback rates and faster approvals compared to the standard Cashrewards program. Plus, it’s free to join and offers huge cashback deals with hundreds of retailers, so there’s not much to complain about.

Too good to be true?

You might think that a program offering free money is to good to be true, and normally it is. But the Cashrewards business model runs on tried and tested affiliate marketing. Basically, when a member shops with their favourite brand, Cashrewards earns a commission on the purchase. Part of this commission is then shared with the member as cashback.

Cashrewards Max: T&Cs

Cashrewards Max is offered by Cashrewards and not ANZ. Cashrewards Max members may access higher cashback offers and faster cashback approvals for selected retailers, compared to the standard Cashrewards program. A Cashrewards account is not an ANZ account. ANZ business credit cards and ANZ business debit cards are ineligible for membership to Cashrewards Max. T&Cs apply.
