Love snagging a good deal? Then you’ll want to check out ShopBack. This popular rewards platform lets you earn Cashback on your purchases — both on-site and online.

Simply sign up for a free ShopBack account and begin shopping with merchants like Shopee, Dyson and more. Each purchase earns you Cashback rewards that you can either accumulate for future splurges, or cash out to your bank account or e-wallet once you hit $10. 

CSC staff member, Shikin spills the beans on how you can save even more during a day full of ShopBack-fuelled shopping adventures, all while enjoying exclusive CSC perks.

Morning: Buy and save on breakfast, brunch or bubble tea

Shikin starts her day with a delicious bang. “I love using ShopBack at my favourite spots like bakeries, Food Republic, Subway and, of course, Koi,” she says. “I’m not exactly thrifty, but who can resist a good discount or Cashback?”

What’s her top ShopBack deal? “It wasn’t a purchase, but a redemption — I bought a Koi bubble tea for just 10 cents after using my Cashback rewards. Who wouldn’t love that?”

Using ShopBack Pay amps up the rewards even more. Look for the ShopBack logo at your favourite stores, scan the payment QR code with your ShopBack app, choose your payment method, and apply any available promos before you finalise the payment. 

Love online shopping? ShopBack’s got you covered with browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge. These handy tools automatically sniff out and display Cashback opportunities as you surf your favourite online stores.

Lunchtime: Indulge in lunchtime shopping

A self-confessed “pain to shop with” shopper, Shikin advises doing your homework before splurging. Her top tip? Research, research, research! “For example, if I’m eyeing a new pair of shoes, I first try them on in-store to check if they’re worth it. Then I hop onto Shopee Mall to find the same pair and wait for double-digit sales like 7.7 or 8.8, or whenever the price fits my budget,” she explains.

Another tip from Shikin? Forget traditional shopping seasons and stay ready to pounce on great deals all year round. “I find myself shopping the most based on the amount of Cashback that I can get during a sale period. Some stores on ShopBack offer upsized Cashbacks from time to time, so you’ll have to diligently check the app for them.”

Afterwork hours: Saving on big ticket items

When it comes to planning trips and activities, Shikin counts on ShopBack to get great savings on Klook and Agoda. “CSC members enjoy 8% OFF Klook, which is which is huge,” she enthuses. Combine that discount with ShopBack Cashback, and you’ve got significant savings – and a bigger budget for travelling. 

She also recommends checking out other CSC members-only deals by merchants such as bakery Wunderfolks, where you get 10% OFF a range of products until 31 December 2024. “The tarts are not just pretty, they’re delicious too!” she raves. And, of course, don’t miss out on ShopBack.

“Don’t forget to join ShopBack’s monthly challenge to earn extra Cashback just by spending via ShopBack.” she says. “CSC members can get up to $5 in Cashback, and Public Service Officers can earn up to $1. And the best part, it refreshes monthly!” 

Her final tip? “If you’re a Public Service Officer who is always on the hunt for fantastic deals at food and beverage outlets or while shopping, remember that CSC members get even better savings and offers! For more details, check out the full list of merchant partners on the CSC website.”
