Q. What is my Username?
Your username is contained within the email communications that you receive from us. Please check your registered email account for messages from cardservices@info.pluxee.uk. We recommend adding this address to your safe senders list to avoid these messages being placed within your junk/spam folders.
If you are unable to locate any emails, you can request a reminder of your username here.
Q. How do I load additional funds on to my card?
You can do this online or via the app, as an instant top-up from a debit card. There is also the option to set up a monthly load on a monthly date of your choice via the website.
Q. How do I earn cashback?
After receiving, activating and topping up your card with funds you will be able to start spending online or in-store at our retail partners to accumulate cashback. Our retail partners offer you specific savings when you use your card with them. You can view your cashback on your online account. When you next top up anything you have earned previously is automatically credited to your account. It usually takes about 5 - 7 days for your purchases to be processed so please don't worry if not all your cashback appears immediately after you have spent. Sainsbury's is the only exception to this due to their process for calculating cashback, meaning the credit can take 6-7 weeks to process. Where possible, we will always credit your account as soon as we are advised of the cashback to be awarded.
Q. How do I renew my TOTUM Cashback card?
Cashback Cards expire every 12 months; you will have the opportunity to renew you current TOTUM Cashback card as soon as you have 30 days or less remaining on your current account – TOTUM will contact you directly to let you know as soon as you're eligible!
To renew, all that's needed is to reconfirm your details at https://cashback.totum.com/ and pay the £3.99 annual fee.
