      My Opera now says (after changing many times) up to 1,2% cashback. I'm unfamiliar with this notation. Does that mean 1% or 2%? Why are two numbers listed?

          A typo? 1.000 is a very accurate one. 1,000 is a thousand. It's called a decimal point, not a decimal comma.

            @hucker Nope, just a difference in how each country separate the decimal places. Here, for example, 1.000 is one thousand and 1,000 is one.

              @leocg Not good to do things like that differently to everyone else, that's how NASA crashed a spacecraft. As I said, it's a decimal Point And since the program functions in English, it should perhaps use English notation? Anyway we're all on the SI system, here's the official explanation:

                @hucker Usually Opera uses the system parameters for that. Since we are talking about an extension, I guess they are using the most common one.

                  @leocg Most common where? The only people using the comma are those <disgusted expression>EU lot</disgusted expression>.

                    @hucker Several countries in South America, Central America, Africa, Asia use comma as a decimal separator.

                      Ah, the dominions of the 3rd... no I'd better not say that. The EU.

                      The EU uses the SI standard don't they? So why mess up the .?

                        @hucker: Opera operates out of Norway, hence the different notation. Stop the whining and get used to it. It isn't that difficult.

                          I will not get used to what is wrong.

                              @setho The lack of a recorded transaction may be related to both the terms of the affiliate program and the way you made your purchase. Check here what steps you should take to minimise the risk of losing your cashback reward when shopping online. If you have already contacted support, your issue will certainly not be overlooked by our staff. Every report is thoroughly investigated and you will surely not be left without an answer.

                                @katarzynamos Reply from the support as much as it was polite and informative didn't bring much to the problem. I Made sure that the cashback was active, made the purchase within one session, didn't use any other cashbacks, there was a pending cashbacks from adobe at the time I made the purchase (I was checking if cashback is set properly). Support said there is no history of me visiting any store with cashback which is odd. I mean I'm not saying that in the end it might have been something I overlooked but for an feature that seems to be (while logged in to opera cc on your opera browser) click and done, it did fail me greatly, considering it was a quite a big purchase too.

                                  @hucker: I agree, I'm from Poland and I also hate the inconsistency with commas and dots, especially in spreadsheets, where it makes a huge difference, and a spreadsheet from abroad can contain errors due to that.
                                  Anyway, that Opera Cashback seems like a scam, never got anything from them, even though my history of visiting online stores was saved, but the purchases were not.
                                  Also should I use the built-in cashback feature, or this extension? The built-in feature disables the extension and vice versa. One way or another, it doesn't work.

                                    @katarzynamos: Opera Cashback doesn't work, never got any cashback from you, even though:

                                    1. My history of visiting online stores was saved (but the purchases were not)
                                    2. Cashback was enabled accordingly to Opera instructions (before adding products to the cart)
                                    3. Selected products were from categories that qualify for cashback

                                    It is also not clear whether to use the built-in (dify) cashback extension or to install this external extension? I've tried both and none worked: with installed extension the built-in dify cashback can't be enabled and doesn't see the cashback. When the cashback is activated in the built-in dify extension ,then the installed Opera extension is disabled by it.
                                    Yet none could bring me any money back to my account.

                                    Why should we install an extension then, when it's built-in? What option should we use then? Should cashbacks in Opera settings be enabled or disabled, when using this external extension?
                                    Can Opera stuff finally explain this?

                                      Not sure why some countries use a comma for a decimal point. We say "fifty three point seven" - how can a comma be a point?

                                      Yeah I was also annoyed at having two methods of cashback, both pestering me at once. I was told in here to turn off the extension. Mine works every time on Ebay (not tried anywhere else), I just use the built in little one on the left of the address bar. Although it would be better if it just stayed on all the time, like my Nectar points do. It does take quite a while (about a week?) for the cashback to come through, but you should be able to see pending things in your account after about a week.

                                        Seit Monaten nutze ich es für Lieferando und andere Shops, bisher kein Cent bekommen. Wenn man es melden will, muss man sehr viele Dinge vorweisen um sein Geld zu bekommen. Sehr enttäuchend. Als ich meine Addons auflistete sagte der Support es liegt nicht an diesen. Ich habe es mit aktiven Addons und ohne probiert. Das Cashback symbol war grün ich kaufte, bekam aber die 2% Cashback nicht. aber wurde aufgelistet als "Einkaufstour" absolut useless.

                                          @makunia It works ok for Ebay, if I remember to turn it on every single time!! It should stay on permanently, I probably lose half my money this way. I wonder if Opera still collect the money from Ebay when I forget?

                                          Es funktioniert ok für Ebay, wenn ich daran denke, es jedes Mal einzuschalten !! Es sollte dauerhaft an bleiben, ich verliere damit wahrscheinlich die Hälfte meines Geldes. Ich frage mich, ob Opera immer noch das Geld von Ebay kassiert, wenn ich es vergesse?

                                            Bom dia, gostaria de saber, o porque a minha compra de cashback esta em dolar e o valor de cashback esta em real? sendo que minha compra foi feita em real a moeda de meu país.
                                            ou seja, se a porcentagem for calculada no valor real de meu pagamento em real, o valor do cachback tem que ser proporcial ao valor pago em real e não em dolar.
