How Boosted Cashback Is Applied
Important: Winning Rock Paper Scissors unlocks the opportunity to earn boosted cashback. To receive it, you'll need to make eligible KAST Card purchases during your active reward window.
How Boosted Cashback Works
If you win a Rock Paper Scissors round, your boosted cashback window starts automatically at 00:00 UTC after the daily reveal and lasts for 24 hours. You don't need to activate anything after the reveal.
Make your pick before the daily cutoff at 23:30 UTC. Winners are revealed at 00:00 UTC.
During this period, eligible KAST Card purchases can earn cashback at your boosted rate.
For this campaign, your boosted cashback is calculated as 2x your usual cashback rate for your membership tier.
Which Purchases Qualify?
Rock Paper Scissors is available to eligible verified KAST users who meet the campaign requirements.
To receive boosted cashback, your purchase must:
- Be made during your active reward window.
- Be completed using an eligible KAST Card.
- Qualify for standard cashback.
- Meet the current campaign requirements.
- Be successfully completed and settled.
Note: Winning the game alone doesn't generate cashback. You'll need to make eligible purchases while your reward window is active.
Which Purchases Don't Qualify?
Boosted cashback isn't available for transactions that don't qualify for standard cashback.
This typically includes:
- ATM withdrawals.
- Cash advances.
- Money transfers.
- Wallet top-ups.
- Fees and interest charges.
- Cancelled, declined, failed, or pending transactions.
- Refunded or reversed purchases.
- Chargebacks.
- Transactions that don't meet the campaign requirements.
Some merchant categories may also be excluded. Check the campaign details in the KAST app for the latest eligibility rules.
When Will I Receive My Cashback?
Boosted cashback isn't credited immediately after you make a purchase.
Cashback is processed after:
- Your payment has settled.
- The transaction has been reviewed.
- The standard cashback processing timeline has been completed.
If your transaction is still pending, your cashback may not appear until processing is complete.
What Happens if My Purchase Is Refunded?
If an eligible purchase is refunded or reversed after cashback has been credited, your boosted cashback may be adjusted or removed.
For example:
- Full refunds usually remove the cashback earned on that purchase.
- Partial refunds may reduce the cashback amount.
- Chargebacks and disputed transactions may be reviewed before cashback is finalized.
Reward Caps and Limits
Boosted cashback may be subject to campaign-specific limits, including maximum cashback amounts, purchase limits, or per-user reward caps.
If a cap applies, only eligible purchases within that limit will receive boosted cashback. Any spend above the cap may receive standard cashback, if applicable, or may not earn additional cashback depending on the campaign terms.
Reward caps and limits can vary by campaign, membership tier, region, or other eligibility criteria. Check the campaign details in the KAST app for the latest limits before making a purchase.

What Happens if I Make a Purchase Before My Reward Window Starts?
Only purchases made during your active reward window are eligible for boosted cashback.
What Happens if My Reward Window Ends Before My Purchase Settles?
Rewards are calculated at the time of transaction authorization and may be updated if the settled amount is lower than the authorized amount.
