What is Cashback and How to Use it - OCTAPLUS!

       When I went traveling in China in 2018, I was so impressed with its cashless society and wondered how will it be like to do the same in Malaysia. So now, not only that I started using E-wallets, I am more saving-savvy now, always hunting around for new promo codes, cashback programs and so on. Today I’ll talk about the tip of the iceberg, the cashback programs, the concept that you will able to save and on top of that accumulate more “earnings” to shop more. Put your hands in the air if you like online shopping!

Online shopping is the trend now! 

       Not only that it is convenient, well, I mean you don’t have to walk 2 hours from shops to shops to find your ideal prom dress when you can do it comfortably tucked in your bed! It is also full of discount cashbacks and promo opportunities! Welcome to 21 century!

What is this Cashback concept all about?

       Literally means “getting your cashback into your wallet” = cashback. makes sense right? When you purchase something, you get a percentage in return as an incentive. You can treat it like a discount, just that, you will get the money back after the payment. Do pay attention to the different cashback rate Octoplus offering depending on categories!



Octoplus 

       I am quite new to this new platform Octaplus, but after using it a few times, I found it legit. So In this blogpost, I would like to show you how cashback works and why you should use it too!

Step 1: Register 

       First thing first, you need an account! After hitting the send button as soon as you have keyed in your details (or straight away log in with your Facebook account like me!), go to your mailbox and click on the verify link. Now that you are verified, you can customize your profile!
       Plus when you sign up you will get 600 points straight into your pocket! Cool? I do think so!




Step 2: Shop online! 

       Octopus cashback works on a list of more than 100 merchants! Among these are Airasia, Klook, Shopee, Lazada, Nike, JD, Watsons, AliExpress, ezbuy, and many more. Just follow my 3 steps instruction and voila!

(before purchasing, read cashback details, tips, terms, and conditions)
4. start shopping!

       If your cashback is successful, you will receive an email after 2-7 days after your purchase. The delay is for the system to track your cashback. Then your cashback is redeemable in 120 days. To ensure your Cashback is successful, remember to use only promo codes featured on Octaplus!
