Adults. This age group applies to members aged 18+
Mixed. This age group applies to members in all other age groups with or without a parent or guardian

In this view, you can select the text Subgroups and you'll then receive a list of all the subgroups you are a member of.

Cashback (only shown in mobile app)
⚠️ Cashback is only available in Norway
This view will take you to the Cashback page. Cashback is a popular way for consumers to save money while shopping. When you take part in a Cashback programme, you receive a percentage of the purchase price back.
For example, if you buy something for NOK 1,000 in a store that offers 5% Cashback, you'll earn NOK 50 back. This sum accumulates over time and you can spend it as you wish. Cashback is particularly attractive because it gives you a reward for purchases you already plan to make, at no extra cost.
On the Cashback help page you can read more about how Cashback works and how to activate it.
