Subscription services that require a direct debit will usually ask you to enter into a contract with the service provider. These contracts typically have a minimum term of between 12 and 24 months. You must consider whether you are able to commit to a regular payment for this length of time.
If you cancel, change or switch your subscription before the end of the minimum term you may be charged early termination or other fees by the service provider.

You should contact your service provider(s) directly for details of their specific policies.

The specific conditions relating to your chosen offer will be displayed when you activate it.
The retailers are responsible for the offers you receive, but we’re responsible for making sure the cashback reaches your account. The terms and conditions for Cashback Extras can be found in the Online Banking agreement, and details of how we use your information are contained in our Privacy Statement.
Back to topWe try to ensure the information in all offers is accurate. If there are any errors in an offer, we may withdraw or correct it. This won’t affect any offers we’ve already fulfilled.
Back to topSo that we are able to provide you with relevant offers, we’ll regularly review the information we have about you. This helps us work out which offers you are eligible for and which are likely to be of interest to you.
You may notice that some of the offers we send you are for places you regularly shop at or are local to your home or work. That's because some of the offers may be based on the location of places you have shopped at in the past, or the area you live in. Unless we have your express permission to do so, Cashback Extras will not use your mobile phone location data.
For full information on how the bank uses information about you, please see our privacy policy and check your marketing preferences in Online or Mobile Banking.
Back to topWe will not share your personal information with any retailers or merchants, however to provide you with Cashback Extras we do share data with certain trusted third parties under strict controls and conditions. This allows us to identify and provide you with your tailored offers. Your information is always secure and only used in accordance with our privacy policy.
Back to topCashback will automatically be paid into your account on or before the last working day of the month following your redeeming transaction. For example, if you used your offer in January, your cashback should be paid into your account at the end of February.
Cashback will be paid into your current account on or before the last working day of the month after your second direct debit payment.
If you cancel your new service(s) before your second direct debit payment is collected you will not receive any cashback.
The time it takes for a retailer to set up your direct debit may affect the date we pay your cashback.
Back to topIf you have more than one Halifax account, we’ll pay your cashback into the oldest account. Alternatively, you can change your settings to nominate a different Halifax account for us to pay your cashback into.
You need to remain registered for Cashback Extras to receive your cashback.

Each account holder will then receive their own offers based on their individual spending patterns.
For direct debit offers, if both parties receive and activate the same offer but only one party sets up the relevant subscription service to redeem the offer, the first party to activate the offer will receive the cashback into their nominated account, which may be the joint account or an alternative account.
