- Because cashback is a direct loanword from English, using the Spanish term reembolso can actually be confusing, as it usually refers to a full refund of a product rather than a percentage reward.
- In some Spanish-speaking countries, the concept of cashback at a retail register is often confused with cambio, which simply means receiving the correct change after a purchase.
- The term cashback is frequently paired with the word lealtad in Spanish marketing, as these rewards are viewed as a 'loyalty' tool rather than just a discount.
