How cash back works

The steps from clicking an offer to withdrawing your cash back, with the real rules.

The short version

Click an offer that shows cash back, buy from the store, and we add the cash back to your wallet once the store confirms your order. You can withdraw it once you reach the minimum.

Step by step

1. Find an offer with cash back. Offers that pay cash back show the percentage next to the store's price.
2. Click through to the store from our page and buy as usual. The click is how the store knows to credit you.
3. We record a pending reward. It shows in your wallet while the store checks the order.
4. It becomes available after 7 days. That hold gives the store time to confirm the order has not been cancelled or returned.
5. Withdraw once your available balance reaches $10.

How much can you earn

The cash back rate is set by each store, so it differs from offer to offer. The highest rate you can earn depends on your membership: up to 8% as a shopper, 12% with Plus and 15% with Premium. The rate shown on the offer is the one that applies.

Things that can stop cash back

Stores can cancel cash back when an order is cancelled or returned, or when a purchase does not follow their terms (for example, using a coupon code from another site). If an order does not show up in your wallet, contact us with the order details.
