How to use cashback correctly

Cashback is a system for returning a portion of the money spent on purchases or services. It allows consumers to benefit from their daily spending without making any effort. These are not points that can be redeemed at the next purchase in the same store. It's real money that is returned to a person's bank account and can be used in any way they want.
Proper use of cashback tools can significantly save your budget. To get the most out of it, you need to:
  1. Compare the offers and choose the one that offers the highest percentage of refunds for basic expenses. GlobusPlus has 20%.
  2. Connect the categories in which you spend the most money each month.
  3. Check for promotions for an increased percentage for certain groups of goods or services.
  4. Plan your purchases to get more cash back.

How cashback works

Having figured out what cashback means, let's tell you how it works:
  • you buy a product or service in partner stores;
  • the bank that made this transaction receives a certain commission;
  • part of this amount is returned to the client in the form of cashback.
After accumulating a certain minimum amount, you can withdraw money to your account. 

Advantages of cashback

The process of returning part of the money for purchases has several advantages:
  • direct refunds;
  • Increased purchasing power;
  • convenience and automation of the process;
