No. This is a free cashback service that we offer you. You do not have to pay anything for using our cashback site.

You can contact us by sending a quick message via this contact form or by email. Our Customer Support team is available Monday - Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. IST. We ensure a 48 hour response time, though hopefully will get back on your request sooner than that.

Returns and cancellations are subject to the returns and cancellations policy of the store from which you purchased from. If you return or cancel an item, we have to reverse any cashback earned from that sale. Exchanges also reverse cashback earned. During the process of an exchange, the store cancels the old order and replaces it with a new one. When the store creates the new order, it fails to capture the referral from ALPINIST WORLD and thus will not credit ALPINIST WORLD with a commission. To avoid losing cashback on an exchange, we recommend cancelling your order and making a new transaction.

Submit a missing cashback request or forward your order confirmation email to us.

"Simple, just follow the easy steps below to earn cashback: 1. Login to ALPINIST WORLD website 2. Search for the retailer you want to shop on 3. Click-through to their website via the link given on our site 4. Shop and pay on the retailer's site like you normally do 5. Retailer now pays us a commission for this sale. We pass that to you as 'cashback'. Initially your cashback remains in Pending status. Once the return period of your product is over, retailer pays us in the next monthly payment cycle. Your cashback then becomes Confirmed 6. When you have earned a minimum amount as Confirmed Cashback, we can pay the money to your Indian bank account via NEFT or by cheque (admin charge of will be deducted from your Cashback amount).

Pending Earnings are those that we have tracked as valid transactions and have been acknowledged by retailers. However, since they are still within the Return or Cancellation period they cannot be paid out to you yet. Let’s take an example. You make a purchase from Jabong.com for Rs. 500. Within 1-3 days you shall receive an email from us acknowledging that you have Pending Earnings of Rs. 30 (at 6% cashback rate). Now once the cancellation/return period is over, Jabong.com shall confirm this to us and pay us in the next monthly payment cycle. We shall then move Rs. 30 to your Confirmed Earnings. However, if your plans changed and you had to cancel your order, the transaction is cancelled and the cashback is removed from your Pending Earnings.

Confirmed Earnings are those that have been approved as valid sales from retailers. When you collect a minimum amount in Confirmed cashback we can pay the money to your Indian bank account by NEFT or by cheque (admin charge will be deducted from your cashback amount). You need a minimum amount as Confirmed cashback for each payment request.

This varies between retailers and the type of purchase. Normally after you do the transaction you would get an email from us within 72 hours stating the cashback due to you. This is called Pending cashback. Once the return period of your products is over/travel is completed, the retailer knows that the Sale was genuine, and then pays us in the next monthly payment cycle. The status of this transaction shall then automatically move to Confimed. From the time of your purchase it could take between 1-3 months for your cashback to get Confirmed.

Once logged in, you can always see your headline cashback earnings in the top right navigation bar. You can click on My earnings to see details of all cashback earned. This is also visible on the homepage after you sign-in to your account.

Purchases you make are only credited if you start your shopping session at ALPINIST WORLD and click on a merchant’s store. After being redirected to the merchant’s site, do ensure that you stay on that page all the way till you complete your purchase so that the "last click" to the merchant’s site is from ALPINIST WORLD. Doing so allows us to verify that you shopped through your ALPINIST WORLD account and lets us give you cashback accordingly. To ensure successful cashback: 1. Do not click on coupon websites 2. Only use coupons that we provide 3. Use the same device throughout (eg. Mobile, Tablet, Desktop) 4. Enable cookies on your device.

Virtually all items you purchase through ALPINIST WORLD qualify for cashback, with the following exceptions: Taxes, shipping, or any portion of a purchase that is paid for with gift certificates or store credits. Any purchase of products or services that is not completed via ALPINIST WORLD’s merchants’ links. Certain stores place minor restrictions on cashback eligibility. We do out best to maintain an up-to-date list of store-related exceptions on our website. Note that store exceptions change regularly and ALPINIST WORLD reserves the right to cancel or delay cashback payments when merchant partners alter their policies or refuse to pay ALPINIST WORLD a commission.

When you shop at retailers via us, retailers pay us a referral fee. Rather than keep this referral fee we pass this back to you as cashback. This referral fee comes from the retailers advertising and customer acquisition budgets.

The retailer holds sole discretion in determining the validity of the cashback query. While our Collections team shall try our best to resolve your cashback query favourably, in some cases your cashback may be declined.
