Tips for tracking success

Always activate first

Start from the cashback provider before shopping at Startup Active. Going directly to the retailer means your purchase may not be tracked.

Keep it one session

Complete checkout in the same browser session after clicking through. Closing tabs, switching devices, or returning later can break tracking.

Use voucher codes carefully

Only use codes shown by the cashback provider. Third-party voucher codes can override the tracking link or make cashback ineligible.

Price Matching

If Startup Active 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.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about tracking and earning cashback at Startup Active.

How does cashback work with Startup Active? expand_more
When you click through to Startup Active from a cashback provider like TopCashback or Quidco, they track your purchase using a special link. Once Startup Active 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 Startup Active? expand_more
It depends. If you use a voucher code that isn't explicitly listed on the cashback provider's page, your Startup Active cashback will likely be declined. Always check the provider's specific terms for Startup Active before applying any promo codes at checkout.
How long does it take for Startup Active cashback to pay out? expand_more
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 Startup Active's returns policy and payment cycles.
Why hasn't my Startup Active cashback tracked? expand_more
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 Startup Active 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? expand_more
Usually, no. Cashback is typically calculated on the base purchase price of your items. VAT, delivery fees, and other extra charges added by Startup Active are almost always excluded from the final cashback calculation.
