Is Payback down right now?
Reports suggest Payback is running normally for most users right now. The Payback status on this page is built from live user reports. A quick rise in Payback down reports would signal a service side fault.
Most shared reports name the same faults: coupon points miss, the PAY code will not scan, or the login locks. If your error looks like these reports, you are not alone with it.
Is Payback down for me or everyone?
Try the website when the app fails, or ask another member to sign in. If theirs opens fine, the fault is on your side, in your phone or account. If the same error hits many users together, that points to a wider Payback outage. People ask is Payback down for me when the app opens but the points page stays blank.
Which coupon wins when several coupons fight for one slot?
At some partners, all active basket coupons fight for one slot. The system books the strongest one and the rest expire unused. Product coupons can still stack with it. Activate only the coupons for that one shop.
Coupon points also land late: base points in a day or two, coupon points up to three weeks after the buy. Extra points sit locked first and free up weeks later.
Why does PAY fail at the till?
Some PAY scanners read the code only at one angle and distance; the goods scanner cannot read it at all. Three wrong PAY PIN entries lock the payment until you set a fresh PIN in the app. A card that asks for an SMS code mid pay can break the run.
When does a locked login open again on its own?
Seven wrong login tries lock the account, and the lock lifts on its own after a day. Security spot checks can lock an account too, while points stay safe. The two step approval push for a new device can also fail to arrive. People ask: is Payback down, or is my account locked?
What breaks the points chain on online buys?
Online buys count only when you start from the app or site with tracking allowed. Blocked cookies break the chain and the points never land. Big promo points wait until the promo run ends. Keep the receipt until points show.
Common Payback Problems and Fixes
Most Payback faults sit in the coupon rules, the PAY scan or the login lock. Run through the fixes below first.
Coupon points still missing
Wait out the booking span first: base points land fast, coupon points take weeks. After the span, ask the service centre to add the points.
PAY code will not scan
Hold the phone over, under and in front of the PAY scanner and vary the gap. Ask till staff to use the hand scanner, never the goods scanner.
PAY PIN locked after wrong tries
Set a fresh PIN in the app under Services, PAYBACK PAY, forgot PAY PIN. The app then asks for your app password and one more account confirm.
Login lock after wrong tries
Stop after three or four wrong tries and reset the password instead. A full lock lifts on its own after a day. If it stays shut, call the service centre.
Approval push never arrives
Open the app and fetch open login requests by hand from the menu. Keep app alerts on in the phone settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which coupon wins when several coupons fight for one slot?
At some partners the system books the strongest basket coupon only, and the rest expire. Product coupons can still stack. Activate just the coupons for that one shop.
How do I fetch a login approval that never came?
Open the app on your trusted device and pull open login requests from the menu. The push does not always land. Approve the right request there.
What happens after seven wrong login tries?
The account locks for safety after seven wrong tries in a row. The lock lifts on its own after a day. Your points stay put meanwhile.
Does PAY work without internet in the shop?
Yes, PAY works offline at the till. The sum and points reach the app once the phone is back online.
Can I add missing points later on?
Yes, missing points can be added after the normal booking span. Keep the receipt from the buy. Send it to the service centre with your customer number.
When do coupon points land on my account?
Base points land in a day or two. Coupon points can take up to three weeks, and promo points wait for the promo end.
