RebatesMe works on the same principle as dozens of other cash-back portals. When you navigate to a store's website using a referral link provided by RebatesMe, the store pays them a commission. Part of that commission is shared with you in the form of cash back.<\/p>\n
RebatesMe isn\u2019t the most widely known portal, but it\u2019s actually one of the better-established players in the cash-back space, with more than twelve years in business.<\/p>\n There's a reason to pay attention to this. Newer portals can be less reliable at tracking purchases and making prompt payments. And many go out of business before they get established. On the other hand, RebatesMe has had ample time to hammer out all the kinks.<\/p>\n RebatesMe members can earn up to 40% cash back with over 10,000 merchants. Per RebatesMe, the average member earns 5% cash back per order and $128.40 cash back annually. That cash back stacks with credit card rewards, giving decent returns on your online purchases.<\/p>\n Check out our beginner\u2019s guide to shopping portals<\/a> if you need a detailed refresher on how these sites work.<\/p>\n In terms of ongoing cash-back rates, RebatesMe isn\u2019t always the most rewarding, but it\u2019s typically among the top few portals, along with TopCashBack<\/a>. Cashback Monitor<\/a> is an excellent tool to compare the rewards you\u2019d get from different portals when buying from a given merchant.<\/p>\n Usually, the best strategy is to check Cashback Monitor to see who's offering the best rate, and then use that portal's link to claim the biggest reward. But don't be afraid to accept a slightly lower percentage rebate if it helps you earn a welcome bonus.<\/p>\n One unique way RebatesMe stands out is in how it pays out your cash back earnings. In addition to requesting your cash back via PayPal, you can have the funds put on your credit card. Alternatively, get paid through Alipay, a platform primarily used in China.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, you can join RebatesMe and receive a $5 bonus<\/a> after making $15 in eligible purchases within 30 days. New members can claim the sign-up bonus only once per email address.<\/p>\n When you sign up for RebatesMe, you will also receive an exclusive bonus from many retailers for your first purchase. In other words, get additional cash back on your first purchase when spending $15 to earn the $5 bonus as a new member.<\/p>\n RebatesMe runs a referral program<\/a>, although the bonuses are a fraction of what they used to be. Currently, members can earn a $10 referral bonus for every new member they sign up. To earn the bonus, the new member must earn $10 or more in confirmed cash back within 90 days of joining.<\/p>\n You can find your unique referral link or a 6-digit referral code in your dashboard. Only new members who have never previously registered with RebatesMe are eligible. Some merchants and purchases are excluded from the $10 cash back requirement that the new member must meet within 90 days. Orders of gift cards do not qualify for the activation of the sign-up and referral bonuses.<\/p>\n From time to time, RebatesMe offers promotions with enhanced referral bonuses, such as $30 or $40 per new member, plus a bonus for the referrer. Typically, Black Friday has the best promotion each year. Without a promotion, the base referral bonus is $10, and the new member can only claim the usual $5 new-member bonus.<\/p>\n Anyone who violates these rules will have their referral bonus reversed.<\/p>\n RebatesMe may not be the flashiest shopping portal, but it consistently delivers competitive cash-back rates, quick payouts, and solid reliability. Members can earn up to 40% cash back at over 10,000 stores, although the average cash back per purchase is 5%. The average RebatesMe member earns $128 cash back annually.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for an easy way to stretch your online shopping budget and stack rewards, RebatesMe is well worth a look.<\/p>\n Page Contents<\/p> RebatesMe stands out among many online shopping portals for earning extra rewards on purchases you were already planning to make. The site has quietly built a reputation for reliable tracking, frequent flash bonuses, solid cash-back rates, and occasional referral bonuses, especially for frequent online shoppers who like to compare before they click.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":148987,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":null,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"default","_twitter_share_type":"default","_linkedin_share_type":"default","_pinterest_share_type":"default","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"default","_medium_share_type":"default","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[12054],"tags":[13888,12621],"coauthors":[36385],"class_list":["post-67846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips","tag-deals","tag-earning-strategy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67846"}],"version-history":[{"count":39,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":252404,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67846\/revisions\/252404"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67846"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=67846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"RebatesMe](\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/RebatesMe-Information-750x205.jpg\")
