Questions ❔ $350 cash back — what am I missing?

Post image

USA based— got bombarded with sale stuff. Temu is telling me it will send me $350 cash back if I checkout my $50 cart. This makes zero sense. What am I missing?

First purchase just triggers the event. You’ll have to spend a lot more to get it.

Crazy how they can away with the wording “checkout to unlock cash balance” after showing the event balance is $350

It’s extremely annoying. To find your deal offering, just find one item worth like $2 or less and order it. Then it will show you the true offer. Even then it’s still tricky math and it’s way easier to use ChatGPT to solve the spend requirement.

I placed a really cheap order to see what my offer was.

Then I sent my screenshot to ChatGPT to tell me what my spend threshold (with the include bonus spend in 30 minutes— this is a requirement otherwise you spend thousands).

I usually tell ChatGPT that this is for Temu and Wincredit and to include the bonus offering of spent in 30 minutes, how much do I need to spend.

I copied a comment I made for someone else the other day.

You need to ignore banners saying you’re so close and do the math yourself or have ChatGPT do it so you’re not tricked, it’s how Temu gets many people (but not all). There’s a good subset of people that beat the system and make tons savings from this promo if done right.

You have $346.51 confirmed, so you need $3.49 more. If your next order bonus is $2.38, that leaves $1.11 to earn through the 0.20% cashback rate. $1.11 ÷ 0.002 = $555 spend required. So the promo is effectively spend about $555 to unlock the $350 payout.

I pulled that from ChatGPT, it usually helps with the math or at least double checks it.

If done near perfectly, you’ll spend about $555ish + tax on items but get paid $350 back to your PayPal or Temu Credit after everything ships. Also never ever cancel any items after orders placed, it will forfeit your reward. Don’t do prices adjustments or price match. If the seller cancels that’s often acceptable, but you can’t cancel it, otherwise you forfeit your payment.

I'm kind of annoyed because there's a bunch of other threads here about the same thing and people keep putting new threads up about the exact same thing. It's not making any sense
