Cashback can be earned by making an eligible purchase at a select merchant.

Most of the time, yes. Many of the offers available exclusively to Zolve users include cashback on online purchases. However, each offer is different and the offer details must be viewed thoroughly to see if a specific offer includes cash back on online purchases.
"We're glad you want to know. Let's simplify it for you. Dosh offers are found in the Zolve app and will earn you cashback when you pay with your Zolve card. This is applicable only if the online offers are completed through the Zolve app. To earn cashback, visit the offer, and tap on the "Shop" button. You'll be redirected to the merchant's app or website, where you can complete the purchase with your Zolve Card to be eligible. There's one other way to earn cashback. Simply transact with local businesses in your area. They will appear in your app when that particular business location is participating in a cashback offer. Simply visit the local merchant you found listed in the app at the specific street address, pay for your purchase only with your Zolve Card, and stand eligible to receive cash back after your purchase."
Good things come to those who wait, isn't it? A pending purchase will show you the estimated cashback earned in your account summary. However, the amount is not final until the merchant completes the entire charge. Once the transaction is completed, any earned cashback will be automatically applied to your account. These transactions typically complete within 1-5 working days but can take up to 90 working days depending on the merchant. Don't worry! We keep our promises.
Unlike jam, your cashback doesn't come with an expiry. This is actual money that gets credited to your account. Once the merchant completes the charge, you will receive it.
Sky is the limit - for your dreams and ours. But when it comes to cashback, they do have limits. Some offers have limits of cashback that can be availed.

We need a reliable, 100% secure and a gratifying friend! Meet Dosh. It empowers Zolve Rewards. Once you make a transaction with your Zolve card, Dosh checks to see if it is eligible for a cashback reward. If the transaction is eligible for a reward, Dosh will send cashback to your Zolve account after the merchant completes the charge. A true friend indeed!
We take your privacy and data security seriously. We take precautions at every step to ensure the security of your data. We do not share personal information like your name, address, etc. with any vendor. We only securely share transaction details to check for cashback availability. They do not sell any of your data.

Uh oh! We didn't mean for that to happen. In case you are missing cashback, contact us, and we can help out. We really want to. However, just a quick reminder: if your transaction is still pending, you’ll need to wait until the merchant completes it before you can receive and view your cashback.
