In Australia (Afterpay's home market), credit card merchant fees are tightly regulated (<1% for most transactions AFAIK), so 'cash-back' offers like the US don't exist.

Airline/Frequent Flyer point conversions similarly got nerfed, so much so it's better to cycle cards (credit worthiness permitting) every year to get a point bonus up front (e.g 200K points for spending $X000 in the first 3 months) than trying to earn that amount.
