CASH BACK VIA WU SHOP

Generating Cash Back.

A. You may generate Cash Back by signing into your My WU Account and accessing a Partner’s website using the shopping links available at WU Shop to make a Qualifying Purchase. We may ask you for proof of purchase to finalise any Cash Back rewards.

B. You can only generate Cash Back on purchase transactions which meet our eligibility criteria (each a Qualifying Purchase) and do not violate applicable law (they are not made fraudulently). A Qualifying Purchase is a purchase whereby a user either (i) connects to the Partner via a designated link from WU Shop; (ii) opening the Western Union app; (iii) clicking on a link in an email from Western Union that goes directly to a Partner site; or (iv) any other method applicable at the time of the purchase. You must complete your purchase during the same shopping session you started after clicking on the shopping link. If you visit other sites before completing your purchase, your purchase might not be associated with the Programme and you might not earn Cash Back.

C. Should you miss any purchases, please report them by completing the Missing Purchase form (which can be found in the Cash Back Overview page in WU Shop) for further investigation by the Partner. You are obligated to produce documentation or information in order to verify (i) the purchase, (ii) eligibility and/or (iii) compliance including but not limited the actual date of purchase, proof of purchase via Store-generated receipts, invoice, ID copy etc. and present them upon request. All claims must be made within ninety (90) days from the date of purchase.

D. You may earn Cash Back on your net purchase amount, which excludes taxes, fees, shipping costs, giftwrapping, discounts, credits or extended warranties. Other restrictions/limitations may apply, including the following:
(i) You may not earn Cash Back on travel services until the travel is completed.
(ii) You may only earn Cash Back on subscription-based products or purchases that are bundled to subscription-based products in the first month of the subscription and only on the core component of the bundle.
(iii) You may not earn Cash Back for the purchase and/or redemption of gift cards.
(iv) For purchases made in foreign currencies, the Cash Back awarded may be subject to currency conversion fluctuations when the amount gets applied to available Cash Back from the customer to withdraw.

E. It may take some time for the Cash Back to be added to your My WU Account – please allow up to 120 days from the date of your Qualifying Purchase.

Cash Back Payout.

From time to time, you may request that we payout Cash Back to you (a Payout) – each Payout is not guaranteed and shall be fulfilled entirely at our discretion, subject to fulfilment of various conditions (including confirmation from the relevant Partner regarding your Qualifying Purchase). You may request a Payout via your My WU Account. The minimum amount of Cash Back eligible to be withdrawn, depending on applicable account currency, is provided in the FAQ section at mywu.com. Balances below the applicable minimum amount shall remain in your My WU Account until paid out or expired. You can request
a Payout of Cash Back through (i) cash pick-up at a Western Union agent location; or (ii) any other available payment method in your Programme country as we may make available from time to time (each a Payout Method). Available Payout Methods may change without notice. We may from time to time require you to verify certain information about yourself (for example, e-mail address or mobile phone number) or provide us with your bank details before we can process a redemption. Each Payout Method shall involve the remittance by us (or another licensed Western Union affiliate) of funds to you in accordance with your instructions. You may be charged a transaction fee to withdraw the cash. The amount of time it takes to process a payment as well the transaction fee varies by the Payout Method.

Important Information about Cash Back.

Cash Back does not represent a deposit or any other kind of stored value; where Cash Back is generated through Qualifying Purchases, funds are paid to us and shall only be paid out to you (at our discretion) and in accordance with these Terms. Cash Back will not earn interest and the funds will not be insured by any national or supranational compensation scheme against our insolvency. Cash Back cannot be purchased, sold, combined or transferred in any way.

Dormancy.

Your Cash Back expires in the event of inactivity, i.e., no Qualifying Purchases occurred for a period of 2 years (24 months) or more or earlier if we terminate this Agreement

Partner Terms.

We are not the supplier of the goods and services listed by our Partners on WU Shop. We provide a link to the Partner but you will conclude a purchase contract directly with the Partner. The identity of the Partner as well as its terms and conditions are available on the website of the selected Partner. Cash Back amounts vary by Partner’s store and product category and may contain exclusions in the exclusions in the terms of the offer and the applicable store page. A product purchased via WU Shop is covered by the applicable Partner’s return, exchange and shipping policies. Please review these terms carefully. You acknowledge that Partners or its tracking agency’s decision is final in relation to the payment of any commission to us and in turn, our decision is final in relation to generating the Cash Back to you. We will make all reasonable endeavors to secure the payment of commission on a transaction, but we do not and cannot make any guarantee in this regard. In the event we do not receive the expected commission for a transaction for whatever reason, we will not be liable to pay the relevant Cash Back to you. We are also not responsible for changes to, or discontinuance of, any Partner, or for any Partner withdrawal from the WU Shop, or for any effect on accrual of Cash Back caused by such changes, discontinuance or withdrawal.

Partner Liability.

We are not liable for any losses which you might incur in connection with any failure or breach with respect to the safety, quality or delivery of goods and services purchased via the Programme. Cash Back offers may also be subject to separate Partner terms and conditions.
