Waiting on a reward and wondering if anything is actually happening? The most common feedback we hear from our members is that the wait feels long and quiet. But that quiet stretch is normal, because there are many steps and processes happening in the background to confirm and track your transaction. Here is what to expect so you know your reward is on track, and where to look if you want to check on it.

How long does a Finder Reward take?

First, we need to confirm you're eligible. This means we need to liaise with our partner to make sure you've met all the terms and conditions, like being a brand new customer.

Once Finder confirms you are eligible, the reward is usually processed and made available within 120 days of the qualifying transaction. Some offers give a more specific fulfilment date, so it is worth checking the terms of your particular offer.

In practice, many rewards take around 3 to 4 months end to end, and some offers take longer. Think of that as a realistic expectation rather than a guaranteed date.

What affects the timing of getting my Finder Reward?

Each offer has its own confirmation period, but it will always involve a processing of our team at Finder liaising with our partners to confirm your eligibility..

Many rewards take around 3 to 4 months end to end, and some take longer. For example, an offer may require you to keep a plan or account active for a set period before the reward is confirmed. Some telco offers can run to around 6 months of staying connected before that happens.

Always check the offer's terms for its specific timeframe. When the reward is available to claim, Finder emails you, and you can check the current status in your Finder member dashboard at any time.

Is my Finder Reward being tracked yet?

You usually will not get an instant confirmation that your visit or transaction was recorded, and tracking can take a week or two to show up. That quiet period is normal and does not mean it has failed, even if your status shows something like awaiting sign up or confirmation for a while. You can check the current status any time in your Rewards dashboard. See Article 7 (find and manage your rewards / check status) for how to do that. If your status has not moved and the offer's confirmation period has passed, see Article 8 (my reward did not appear).
