Sparks

How Sparks Work

You can collect Sparks from certain quests or eligible activities on ShopBack, then use them to unlock bonus rewards like bonus Cashback, Vouchers, or other ShopBack perks. 

Sparks is designed to help you earn more rewards as you shop!

How to earn Sparks

You can earn Sparks by completing:

  • Daily Sparks collection (Collect Daily Sparks)
  • Sparks-rewarding quests
  • Other ShopBack activities where Sparks are offered

     

Not all quests give Sparks - some may reward bonus Cashback, Vouchers, or other bonuses instead.

The number of Sparks you earn from each activity may vary, and new Sparks opportunities may appear throughout the year.

 

What you can do with Sparks

You can use Sparks to unlock rewards, such as:

  • Bonus Cashback
  • Vouchers
  • Surprise rewards
  • Other promotional perks offered in-app

     

All available rewards and Sparks costs are shown in the Use Sparks tab.

Rewards and Sparks requirements can change over time.


Flip a Card and surprise rewards

In the Use Sparks tab, you may see options like Flip a card.

  • Each flip reveals a random reward
  • Rewards vary - some may be higher than others
  • The reward you unlock will automatically apply to your next eligible purchase
  • Only one reward can be used per purchase
  • After unlocking, the reward may expire if you don’t use it in time (expiry is shown on the reward itself)

     

 

Bonus rewards (guaranteed)

Some rewards are fixed (e.g. “+2% bonus on next purchase”).
For these rewards:

  • The Sparks cost is shown upfront
  • You’ll unlock the reward instantly
  • It will automatically apply to your next eligible purchase
  • Expiry dates are shown on each unlocked reward

     

Sparks expiry

Sparks will expire at the end of the 3rd calendar month after earning.

Within the Use Sparks tab, you’ll see:

  • How many Sparks you have available
  • How many Sparks will expire
  • The exact expiry date
     

    Expired Sparks cannot be reinstated or exchanged for rewards.

 

Important things to know

  • Sparks cannot be purchased, transferred, or exchanged for cash
  • Sparks and rewards may be cancelled if obtained through fraud or misuse
  • Rewards are subject to availability
  • Sparks are issued at ShopBack’s discretion
  • Unlocking a bonus reward is final and cannot be reversed
