While a "Pending" status doesn't mean the transaction itself is pending, it does mean your cashback reward is. Here’s why:

Every Cashback Offer has a “finalization window” set by the merchant. This is the time the merchant takes to confirm that your purchase is final, which also allows them to account for any returns. During this window, your cashback reward will remain in a "Pending" state. Your reward will be finalized and deposited to your Rewards account once this period has passed.

The finalization window can vary from merchant to merchant depending on their return policy, but it is usually between 0 and 75 days. There are a few special cases with travel purchases, such as flights or hotels, where the finalization window is based on the travel dates i.e. up to 75 days after completion of your trip.
