We provide support to our members via this help desk. This system is a better way of keeping track of things. You should normally get a response to your ticket within 24 working hours, most of the time much quicker.

Payments are sent through BACS. We require your BACS details for doing so.
You also need to fill in your valid UK address so we may prevent people from outside the UK (mis)using our site.

We usually send out payments on or around the 7th of every month.
During our monthly payment, we will pay the members who have reached an approved cashback balance of £25 or more.
Payment threshold is set at £25, but if you would like to save this amount for a bigger cashback, you can change the payment threshold by updating your profile.

To provide you with the best deals, reduce administration costs, promotions, marketing costs etc. we can only pay when a member's account balance reaches the minimum of £25

Considering the amount of cash back and discounts you can get from our site, this limit should be easy to reach. This is also to stop people from joining repeatedly in different names

Whether you earn this limit in one day or six months, you can take your time and watch extra cash grow in your account without spending an extra penny.

You need to complete the transaction wholly online while you are logged into our site.

If you complete the purchase over phone or by any other means, the retailer may not track the transaction or may even decline it.
We will not be able to do much about their decisions on these, so to make sure you get the cashback, please login to our site and use our links to complete the purchase.

It is not difficult to make sure you get your cash back. Most people will get their cash back just by logging into our site and using our links; and do not need any special software or settings on their computer. But please read the following to make sure you get the cashback everytime. 1. You must be logged in to www.psdiscounts.com/nhsstaff and click on the links for the retailers from our site before you purchase everytime. Otherwise the retailer will not pay and you will not get your cash back. 2. Please make sure cookies are enabled on your browser. Don't worry, its nothing too complicated. Most computers and internet browsers under normal settings do have them enabled. 3. You should complete the purchase online in the same session after you click through from our site to have the maximum chance of your transaction tracking. If you make the purchase over the phone or from other websites you will not get any cash back from Staff Discounts Portal. 4. If you use other shopping sites or other people use your computer, please make sure you clear your cookies before you make any major purchase through our site. Sometimes some other websites can plant cookies or software on your computer which may lead to the commission being paid to them instead! (We have only had one or two incidents of these so far amongst thousands of transactions)

To enable cookies, please visit http://www.google.com/cookies.html and follow the instructions given for the browser version you are currently using.  

No, our links cannot be used externally. In order to earn through Staff Discounts Portal you must be logged into your account and visit the merchants via our site.

Thousands of transactions go through everyday without any problems. We update your account as soon as we hear from the merchant, on a daily basis.

If you have made a purchase and the cashback is not showing in your account, it can mean one of two things; either it is still early days, and the merchant hasnt reported to us yet; or very rarely, that the transaction didn't track.

The usual reasons for orders not tracking are:

1. Our member was not logged into our site so didn't use our links to make the purchase. They may not have cookies enabled in their browser or have some other security settings preventing the tracking.

2. The purchase was not made wholly online. If the order was completed on the phone or by any other means apart from using our links and completing the purchase, the retailers will not pay.

3. Rarely, merchants may have issues with tracking links. If they do, providing we give them all the relevant details of the order, they will verify it and usually pay the cashback.

On all occasions of untracked sales or missing transactions, we will do our best to assist you get your cashback by contacting the relevant shops.

Although most purchases will show in your account within a day or two, occasionally some of our partners process transactions in batches and report to us only a few times a month. So please do wait for one or two weeks before deciding that the transaction has not been tracked.

Your transaction will show as soon as we get the details from the merchants, as we update members accounts at least once a day.

Yes, as you will understand it is impossible to chase up any missing transactions that are too old. Therefore, if you have any missing transactions you must report this to us within 2 months. Simply submit a ticket to our helpdesk with all the relevant details of your transaction and we will chase it up with the merchant concerned.

Even though most purchases should show in your account within a day or two, occasionally some of our partners process transactions in batches and report to us only a few times a month. So please wait for at least two weeks before deciding that the transaction has not tracked.

If your account is not updated within this period and the cash back doesn't show, please send us a support ticket and provide us with as much details as you can about the purchase (order number, date, membership number, merchant etc) which will help our merchants to investigate.

We will chase it up with the retailer concerned and do our best to get you the cash back for the purchase. Please note that the merchants may take several working days to respond and investigate. We will keep you updated on any issues and chase up with the merchant if they cause delays.

We would like to, but the merchants will not be able to investigate and locate your transaction. So they will not take any queries from us if we do not supply the details of the purchase.

Usually minimum essentials are the name of the merchant, the product you bought, price, the date and the order number/membership number/reference number.

Please try and find the email they sent you when you purchased the product, a receipt or some paperwork with the details. Sometimes it will help to call the merchant and ask them for the details if you have lost it.

If you do not know what the various transaction statuses that show in your account means (pending, approved and paid) see this article We have more than 1200 merchant partners and they do take different times to approve transactions. This can take anything between 2 weeks to 3 months depending on the merchant, with an average time of about 2 months. This is the usual time frame the merchants take and we do not cause any delays from our side.
We update payments reported to us at least 2 or 3 times a day, so please be assured that we will approve the pending transactions as soon as we hear from the merchants.
Unusually, if merchants delay approval a bit longer, we will chase them up even before you ask us. We do keep a track of every transaction and do whatever we can to get your cashback as soon as we possibly can.

We offer cashback on every purchase you make through our site. The amount you earn is dependent on the amount of commission we receive from the online retailer. Initially, you will need to earn a minimum £25 amount of approved cashback (which is the threshold limit), after which, the accumulated cashback will be sent to you through BACS. It is completely free to register with Staff Discounts Portal.

No, there is no minimum purchase required by you to receive your cashback. Cashback is credited to your account from your very first purchase onwards. However, before cashback is paid to you, you need to have a minimum approved cashback amount of £25.00.

This happens when our partner retailers analyze the sale/lead and decided not to pay us. This could be due to one of the following reasons:
1. You have returned the goods or cancelled the services during the returns period.
2. Your transaction was not fully completed online.
3. Your credit/debit card was rejected.
4. You did not satisfy the conditions of the merchant.
Only a handful of merchants have conditions. In these cases, we will describe the merchant description or put a "conditions" link on site where you can see the conditions attached to the offer. Please note that gaming and betting merchants can decline or fail transactions if they suspect the user has registered only to get the cashback and not play on their site.

If your transaction shows as "reversed" or "failed" it means that the merchant has failed the transaction and refused to pay the commission. The common reasons for the merchants to fail transactions are:
1. Your order was not valid (i.e. invalid or incorrect details etc.)
2. The goods were returned/order cancelled during the returns period.
3. You did not adhere to the terms of the offer or purchase. Please read the conditions and the merchant description carefully on our site before making a purchase. This is vital for free offers and gambling merchants. Merchants can fail transactions if they suspect fraud or misuse.
If you suspect that the merchant may have failed the transaction inadvertently (which is quite rare), please submit a support ticket to us with the required details of the purchase (order number/reference number/membership number, date, product, price etc.) explaining why it should not have been failed.
We will immediately get in touch with the merchant and request them to investigate, but please note that the merchant’s decision is final.

There is no limitation for the cashback you can earn, and the more you purchase through our site, the more you can earn. Sometimes you can also earn cashback by participating in free trials, applying for quotations etc. Remember that you get £10.00 FREE cash, if you recommend your friends or family members to join psdiscounts.com/nhsstaff

Please note: if you use any discount or voucher codes found elsewhere (other than on psdiscounts.com/nhsstaff), the merchant may not track the transaction and therefore you may not be paid cashback.

Our relationship with our online partners is based on us monitoring members and creating quality business to them, and we will be answerable to them if any of our members misuse accounts.

The status showing in your account is an indicator of what stage your transaction is at.

Pending: The merchant has tracked your transaction but not yet validated it. Merchants usually report a transaction as pending initially, before they check your payment details, returns etc.,

Approved: The merchant has approved the transaction and Cashback has been added to your account.

Reversed/Failed: The merchant has reported to us that they will not pay for this transaction (goods returned, payment failed etc). Sometimes merchants can reverse or fail transactions if their terms are not being adhered to, or they suspect fraud. If you think a transaction has been failed by the merchant by mistake, please submit a ticket with all the details of the transaction. We will contact the merchant and ask them to investigate this.

Paid: We have paid you the cashback through BACS.

Of course you can cancel your membership at anytime. We are confident that our members will continue to earn cash back and use our free service, however if you do want to cancel your membership, you can do this at any time by sending us a support ticket.
