Cashrewards was built on giving back
As the leading Australian cashback platform, Cashrewards provides over 2 million members with a broad array of cashback offers from 2000+ merchant partners and rewards them with cashback on every purchase they make via the Cashrewards platform. Since launching in 2014, Cashrewards has paid more than $100 million in cashback to its valued members.
At the heart of Cashrewards beats a passion for giving back. Cashrewards believes that you don’t need to choose between doing good and doing well. While results are important, the company believes that the way results are achieved are important too.
Cashrewards partnership with The Starlight Children’s Foundation is deeply personal. When company founders, Andrew and Lorica along with their son, Sam, experienced first-hand the positive impact of Starlight's programs, they knew they wanted to give back to The Foundation. Their experience led them to integrate this spirit of giving into the very essence of Cashrewards, making Starlight the obvious choice as their charity partner.
Cashrewards began their partnership with Starlight in 2017, with a pledge to donate the equivalent of 1% of cashback redeemed by Cashrewards members to The Starlight Children’s Foundation and have since donated more than $1.8 million to Starlight, helping over 46,000 sick kids and their families.
Giving back is in our DNA. It is one of the core values of the Cashrewards business and is the reason Cashrewards was born. Starlight is a core part of Cashrewards and we are proud to be Starlight Platinum Partners, working closely with the Starlight team to further integrate Starlight into our activities across the business and raise their profile with our members, merchants and partners.” - Anthony Seymour-Walsh, Cashrewards CEO
Cashrewards’ dedication doesn’t stop at donations. The staff are actively involved in various initiatives and fundraising events supporting Starlight. These include Kick for Kids, Thank-a-Thon, SuperSwim, and their proprietary event, Joyathon, a month-long event focused on the joy of giving back. In May 2021, Cashrewards launched the annual Shop4Starlight campaign, pledging a $1 donation from every approved transaction to The Starlight Children’s Foundation. In 2022, Cashrewards was also a major sponsor of the annual Star Ball.
"Cashrewards is an absolutely authentic organisation. Their desire to give back, while creating an incredible customer focused culture from day one is palpable. This alignment contributes to our partnership being so strong. A great culture with great people committed to Starlight’s purpose… brightening the lives of sick kids when they need it most. We are truly thankful for this support" - Louise Baxter, Starlight CEO
