Cashrewards closed with immediate effect

All my pending Accor was approved this morning - I received an email. Some of these bookings were for travel Dec to Feb 2025/2026.

I still have some referrals and Virgin Australia rebates Pending.
 
I've still got a few to be approved, but I'm guessing their database servers are going to be spending the whole day (and probably some of the night) churning through these transactions moving them into Approved, so I'm not worried, still plenty of time, I'll check back in on it tomorrow afternoon.

I too just received an "approved" email this morning for accommodation bookings not yet completed.
Suffice to say I immediately went through the withdrawal procedure just in case things change. $$$ coming my way!

I must say I think this all a bit strange given the clear opportunity to game this. But I guess they did their sums and decided paying out when they might not collect was less costly than the costs of running the company in run down mode for 6 months!
 
All mine and partner's outstanding pendings approved and cashed out. I even had a hotel booking that I had cancelled last week that was paid out...
 
been favouring TCB and SB in recent times because CR geoblocked the site which is not helpful when you spend long periods overseas.

Yes I was annoyed whilst travelling through the USA last year in the pre-Fuhrer Felon era, that the daily hotel bookings etc and domestic airlines tickets were all geo-blocked so zero cashrewards.

I never bother with VPNs, so a nuisance.

Was a good run domestically tho.
 
So to clarify, all these are still 'pending' in there?

Does one need to hit SEND A CLAIM button for each one, to speed things up?

If they didn’t automatically track, yes, you need to claim. If they did track, they should be on your list already as pending on the my rewards screen. All my pending moved to approved today.
