Dear Users, It is with a heavy heart that we announce the shutdown of Cashbig.in. Since our inception on February 26, 2018, we have been dedicated to bringing valuable cashback opportunities to our community. What began as a vision to create a seamless and rewarding cashback experience has grown into a platform where 7,685 users registered and benefitted from over 7 lakh rupees distributed in cashback rewards.
The journey of Cashbig.in was fueled by a deep passion for technology and innovation. As a software engineer, I built this platform using WordPress, crafting numerous lines of code during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision to separate the cashback module from Bigtricks was a strategic move aimed at refining and enhancing user experience, and it allowed us to focus on providing exceptional value to our users.
The main idea behind creating Cashbig was to provide cashback instantly or with minimal delay. I was often frustrated with other cashback websites where tracking transactions could take up to 72 hours, leaving users uncertain if their orders were tracked. Even once tracked, it could take more than three months to finalize the cashback status, with many instances of cashback being declined by the client. I solved this problem with the help of technology, enabling instant tracking of purchases or transactions. As soon as the return period was over, users received their rewards directly in their Paytm wallet or bank account. For most of our offers, such as gaming, account opening, demat accounts, and credit cards, which generally did not involve returns, we rewarded users as soon as the transaction was completed. With a user-oriented community and active Telegram groups, users could connect with me directly, and I would help them get their cashback as soon as possible.
However, despite our best efforts and the support of our community, we have made the difficult decision to shut down Cashbig.in. As a working professional currently employed as a software engineer, the increasing demands of my role made it challenging to manage both Bigtricks.in and Cashbig.in. I tried to hire more people to run Cashbig, but building a team proved difficult. Financial constraints made it hard to pay employees, and my natural inclination as a techie made team management challenging. Additionally, the affiliate marketing landscape is risky; we faced fund crunches due to delayed billings and occasional instances of zero billing due to fraud. Market fluctuations and reduced marketing budgets from companies further compounded these challenges.
Ultimately, I realized that my true passion lies in developing software and technology. I find fulfillment in creating and optimizing tech solutions, and I have decided to focus my efforts full-time on this path.
Throughout this journey, I have learned immensely and had the privilege of establishing partnerships with numerous brands and networks. These relationships have been invaluable, contributing to the growth and success of Cashbig.in.
While it is difficult to say goodbye, I am grateful for the support and engagement of our users and partners. The lessons learned and the connections made will continue to inspire and guide future endeavors. I’m not closing everything down. While our cashback module is shutting down, we will continue to provide heavily discounted deals, cashback offers, and exclusive loot deals through our Bigtricks Telegram channel. Our community remains active and connected, and you can stay involved too by joining our Telegram Group . Although I’m stepping back from cashback, I’m still passionate about online shopping discounts and deals. It’s just that managing everything has become challenging.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
With sincere gratitude,
Sonu Gupta
