Oxygen Total Rewards

Please take note of the following process for managing your rewards

Cashback rewards, ambassador reimbursement, and referral bonus earnings will be placed in your "Pending Rewards" balance until Oxygen Day, which falls on the 8th of every month.

On Oxygen Day, the accumulated balance in your "Pending Rewards" will automatically transfer to your "Available Rewards" account, making it available for cashing out. You can only cash out your earnings when they are present in the "Available Rewards" account.

For instance, if you earn a $100 referral bonus on October 1st and receive $1.00 cashback from Starbucks on October 2nd, the total earnings of $101.00 will be deposited into your "Pending Rewards" account.

Then, when October 8th arrives (Oxygen Day), your balance will move from "Pending Rewards" to "Available Rewards" and you can conveniently cash out your earnings to your Oxygen deposit account.

How do I start earning Cashback rewards?

You can earn cashback with merchants available by using your Oxygen Visa Debit Card at check-out. To start earning rewards, first you must activate your offer type (such as Starbucks or Shell). To activate an offer, go to the Cashback tab, select the merchant and choose activate this offer. Only one offer can be activated at a time and used as per the frequency applicable.

How much Cashback can I earn?

Depending on your element, you can earn anywhere from 2-6% Cashback (max cashout amount per transaction and minimum transaction amount apply), however, every tier earns $1.00 on Food & Coffee purchases.

Can I cash out my rewards on Oxygen Day?

How do I cash out my rewards?

On Oxygen Day, which is the 8th of every month, the cashback earned rewards for the month are moved to your total rewards account. You will receive a push notification informing you of the specific date. Once your monthly rewards are in your total rewards account, you can cash them by transferring the funds to your Oxygen Deposit Account. Note that rewards earned after Oxygen Day will not be included in the cashback earned account until the following Oxygen Day.

What types of rewards are included in my total rewards account?

The total rewards account is a cumulative collection of various types of rewards, including cashback, reimbursement, Ambassador cash bonuses, and referral bonuses. All these rewards contribute to your total rewards account balance.

Note that rewards earned after Oxygen Day will not be included in the total rewards account until the following Oxygen Day.

Cashback and activation

What reward categories and major brands are eligible for cashback with Oxygen Elements?

Cashback rewards are merchant-specific.

Please find the merchants now available for cashback in the chart below.

*Merchant availability may vary based on your Element tier. Not all merchants are accessible across all tiers. Please refer to your specific tier benefits in the app for the complete list of eligible merchants and associated rewards.

How does the cashback system work?

The cashback rewards are specific to a merchant. Users need to activate each individual merchant, such as Starbucks, each time a merchant promotion is redeemed in order to receive cashback. You can use an activated offer every one to seven days, depending on the specific offer type. Remember to activate a new offer once the previous one has been used.

Do I need to opt into every specific merchant to receive cashback?

Yes, in order to receive cashback from a specific merchant, such as Starbucks, you will need to individually opt into that merchant's offer each time you conduct a transaction with that merchant.

Are there minimum purchase amounts for each cashback category?

Yes, there are minimum purchase amounts associated with each cashback offer. The minimum purchase thresholds have been updated and have changed from what we previously offered. You can refer to the merchant section in the Oxygen app for specific details on the minimum purchase amounts for each category.

How do I activate each individual cashback offer?

Under the system, each individual cashback offer will require separate activation. You will need to activate the offer to start earning cashback for that particular merchant, and once you have conducted a transaction, you will need to activate it again to make another eligible purchase. There are limits as to how frequently each offer may be reactivated.
