Editorial, not from the source
Works when
- You already use a cashback program with rates that change periodically.
- You care about a specific category or country's rate, not just a general average.
- You're fine with a periodic check rather than instant notification.
Does not work when
- The program's rates are only visible after logging in somewhere the agent can't reach.
- You want it to actually claim or redeem the bonus, not just alert you to it.
- You need real-time alerts rather than a periodic check.

The source case
On X, @AyushAggarwal94 replies to a post about a cashback offer, noting that the program ('TCB' in their shorthand) frequently releases additional cashback, as high as 18%, for certain countries or activities such as eSIM purchases, and says they've asked Instinct to track it and report back. The post describes a standing monitoring request rather than a completed result; no specific alert or outcome is mentioned. Checked on 2026-10-09 as a single report.

Name the program and what counts as a change
The report behind this page describes a program that releases extra cashback periodically, as high as 18%, for specific countries or activities like eSIM purchases. That specificity matters: a general instruction to 'watch for good cashback deals' is much harder to act on than naming the exact program and the categories you personally care about. Before setting this up, identify the program's offer page, and list the categories or countries where a rate change would actually matter to you, since the same program can run different bonuses for different activities at the same time. Without that detail, a monitoring task tends to default to the broadest possible interpretation, which can mean missing the narrow, short-lived bonus windows that are usually the most worth catching in the first place.
A standing watch isn't a one-time check
The original report describes asking the agent to track the offer and report back, which is a recurring task rather than a single lookup. Decide how often you want it checked, daily or weekly depending on how often the program tends to update, and how you want to hear about a change, such as a message when the rate actually moves rather than a constant status update. A watch that checks too rarely can miss a short-lived bonus window; one that alerts on every visit to the page, whether or not anything changed, becomes noise you will start ignoring. Treat the check frequency as something to revisit after the first few weeks, once you have a sense of how often the program actually changes its offer.
Separate watching from claiming
Spotting a higher cashback rate and actually getting the benefit of it are two different things, and the reported task only covers the first one. Many cashback programs require an opt-in, a specific purchase window, or a linked card to be active before a bonus rate applies, and none of that is guaranteed just because a page now shows a better number. Once an alert comes in, treat it as a prompt to go check the program's own terms yourself, rather than assuming the higher rate is automatically yours. This keeps the agent's role narrow and verifiable: it watches a page and tells you what changed, and you decide what, if anything, to do about it.
Open Instinct to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
- One short report describing a standing request, with no confirmed alert or result yet.
- The exact program is only referred to by a shorthand in the post; this task generalizes to any cashback program with a visible offer page.
- A cashback rate changing is not the same as it being easy to actually claim; check the program's own terms for how a bonus is applied.
- Monitoring frequency and how promptly a change is caught depends on how often the page is checked, which the report doesn't specify.
Editorial, not from the source
- Before it starts watching: name the exact program and the categories that matter.
- After the first alert: confirm the reported rate and category match the source page.
- Periodically: confirm it's still actually checking, not just assuming no change.
Editorial, not from the source
- An alert fires for a rate that hasn't actually changed
- Double check against the program's own page; a monitoring error is easier to catch early than late.
- No alert comes even though you know the rate changed
- Confirm the check frequency and whether the specific category you care about is actually being watched.
- The bonus is hard to claim even after the rate rises
- That's a separate step from monitoring; check the program's own terms for how to actually apply the bonus.
Common questions
Can Instinct track a cashback program for me?
One user reports asking it to track a program's recurring bonus rate and let them know when it rises. This directory has not confirmed an actual alert from this setup.
Does the rate vary by category?
In the reported case, yes: the bonus differed by country and activity, such as eSIM purchases. Name the categories that matter to you specifically.
Will it claim the bonus for me?
No, as scoped here. It watches and alerts; actually applying or claiming a bonus is a separate step with its own program-specific terms.
How often should it check?
The report doesn't say. Match the frequency to how often the program tends to update its offers, and adjust if you're missing or over-notified.
What if the alert is wrong?
Check it against the program's own page directly. A monitoring task can misread a page just as a person can.
