HAMPTON Park internet shoppers rank as some of Australia’s most savvy, with recent data revealing Victoria leads the way in bargain hunting.
The findings by postcode from cashback website, Cashrewards, found that Hampton Park sits at number nine out of the top 25 spending postcodes in the country.
Cashrewards searched consumer spending on more than 1000 retail sites across 1591 postcodes Australia-wide, and 17 Victorian postcodes made the cut.
Hampton Park residents are surfing the net and getting cash back for their purchases at a higher rate than Balwyn North, Frankston and Doncaster residents who also made the top 25.
Eight postcodes in NSW made it into the top 25, but no Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania or Northern Territory suburbs made the list.
Last year Hampton Park homeowners secured more than $49,450 in cashback savings.
Spokesperson for Cashrewards, co-founder Lorica Clarke, said Victorians were well ahead of Sydneysiders when it came to finding ways to spend online with cash back.
“In particular, the suburbs of Brandon Park, Glen Waverley and Wheelers Hill are the ones we can proclaim as the biggest bargain hunters,” Ms Clarke said.
“Given that they are savvy enough to not only save by shopping online for deals, but also stack the savings by receiving a percentage of cash back with every purchase they make.
“We feel this may be because they are more switched on too, generally speaking, from what we know from eBay and Google trends there are more spending happening in Victoria than NSW in e-commerce.”
