Shopback SMS Verification

Before your first cashback lands, there is the ShopBack SMS verification; a virtual number handles it without putting your personal line on marketing lists.

ShopBack is a cashback rewards platform founded in Singapore in 2014 and active in a number of Asia-Pacific markets. When you shop at partner merchants through ShopBack, part of what you spend comes back to you; it also offers coupons, QR payments and buy-now-pay-later. Accounts are verified with a one-time code sent by SMS, WhatsApp or call, and earned cash can be withdrawn to a bank account.

When verifying with a virtual number, enter it in the requested format and confirm the code quickly, as it is only valid for a short time. This suits people who want to keep their personal number away from marketing messages, or expats shopping on the ShopBack site of the country they live in. If the number is already registered to another ShopBack account, verification will not go through.

Cashback accumulates in your account, and withdrawing it requires bank details in your own name. Linking the account to a number you can keep protects your balance if re-verification is requested later. Trying to claim promotions with several accounts can get them closed, so stick to one account per person.
