No worries - yes, Cashrewards is usually paid when using codes, though if not then there's not much one can do as officially it "may not be eligible"

Perhaps better, since I posted this morning, is to instead buy them from My Wine Guy who now also have free delivery this weekend, where whilst there's no cashback, you can receive $30 off instantly (and the minimum spend is $99 instead of $100, which is helpful when wines are $49.99) - besides the above:
 
for those not in Sydney, MB96 $58:

Domaine Buronfosse Marcus Chardonnay 2018

Beautiful Jura-ssic wine from Peggy & Jean-Pascal Buronfosse, with fruit coming from approximately 4 ha of organically-handled vines. This lovely cuvée comes from a limestone plateau, with only four barrels made. It’s elegantly fruited with a salty minerality and a refreshing acidity.

Perhaps my favourite chardonnays below $40-$50:
  • 2017: Bay of Fires, Dexter, Kumeu River Estate
Click to expand...

Kumeu River's 2019 estate and single-vineyards have recently been released, and like Felton Road's 2019 pinot noirs (My Wine Guy still have some Block 3 via phone), are meant to be one of their best ever vintages (also 2020 apparently) - Prince Wine Store have virtually sold out of last month's offer, but Randall's came out cheaper on the weekend - check out Farr Vintners' reviews (video), whose website now also has Jancis Robinson's (2018 Rays Road)

They are considered amongst New Zealand's (and the world's) top chardonnays - I first encountered them last year, when not only was I lucky enough to find the 2008 and 2016 on clearance at Dan's, but also attend a vertical tasting of fourteen going back to 2010
 
Leeuwin Estate Art Series 2017 - JH99, HH/RJ98, CM(WF)97, JO/NS96 - $81.29 delivered in 3pk @ Vinomofo eBay Plus using PARTY21 for 21% off - ends this Saturday (free eBay Plus trial available)
