Tracking checklist

Start from the cashback provider and complete checkout in the same browser journey.
Avoid voucher codes, saved quotes, or basket changes unless the provider explicitly allows them.
Review the provider conditions because eligibility can vary by product and customer type.

Bank Boost's Guide to AO.com

Maximise your savings with our expert tips, seasonal sale guides, and reward stacking strategies.

Pro Tip

Always check if AO.com offers a free loyalty scheme (like 'Perks' or 'Rewards'). You can almost always earn loyalty points at the same time as earning cashback through our tracked links!

Seasonal Sales

Watch out for massive rate spikes during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Boxing Day. Retailers often double their cashback rates during these periods.

Price Matching

If AO.com offers a price match promise, you can secure the lowest web price *and* still claim the cashback rate on top for a double-discount.

Click & Collect

Save on delivery fees by using Click & Collect. In-store collections still track perfectly as online purchases for cashback purposes.

Voucher Watch-outs

Never use a discount code you found on another website (like Honey or StudentBeans). It will override the tracking cookie and your cashback will be declined.

How to claim cashback at AO.com

Follow these three simple steps to ensure your purchase tracks correctly and your cashback is securely credited.

Shop

Compare the best rates for AO.com here on Bank Boost, and click through to the provider using the Claim Offer button.

Earn

Shop as usual and the cashback provider will do the tracking. Once the retailer confirms your purchase, they'll pass the cashback straight on to you.

Cash Out

Build your balance and cash out your earnings to PayPal, your bank account, or a gift card directly from the provider when you're ready.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about tracking and earning cashback at AO.com.

How does cashback work with AO.com?

When you click through to AO.com from a cashback provider like TopCashback or Quidco, they track your purchase using a special link. Once AO.com confirms your transaction, the provider receives a commission and passes it back to you as cashback.

Can I use discount codes and still get cashback at AO.com?

It depends. If you use a voucher code that isn't explicitly listed on the cashback provider's page, your AO.com cashback will likely be declined. Always check the provider's specific terms for AO.com before applying any promo codes at checkout.

How long does it take for AO.com cashback to pay out?

Tracking usually appears on your cashback account within 24-72 hours. However, the time it takes to become "payable" varies—often taking a few weeks to several months depending on AO.com's returns policy and payment cycles.

Why hasn't my AO.com cashback tracked?

The most common reasons are active ad-blockers, coupon browser extensions (like Honey) overriding the tracking, or leaving the checkout page mid-purchase. To ensure your AO.com cashback tracks perfectly, use a fresh incognito window and complete the purchase in one go.

Does the cashback rate apply to VAT and delivery charges?

Usually, no. Cashback is typically calculated on the base purchase price of your items. VAT, delivery fees, and other extra charges added by AO.com are almost always excluded from the final cashback calculation.
