Shopping Anyway? 7 Cashback Apps and When Each Pays

1. BeFrugal, and you can withdraw from just one cent

Every basket counts: our easiest cash back pick pays out from one cent. Number seven: BeFrugal, and you can withdraw from just one cent. You earn real money back on everyday shopping across thousands of stores. You log in, pick a store and click Shop Now first.

Any coupon or deal marked for cash back counts too. Cash back is added to your account within seven days of buying. It's worked out as the net sale times that store's percentage. The home page shows 6% at one pet store.

Membership is free. By our count, a hundred dollar order at 6% sends $6 back. It's payable once the store pays, typically thirty to ninety days after buying. Next, see how a single pound unlocks your cash back.

2. Quidco, where one pound is already enough to get paid

Number six: Quidco, where one pound is already enough to get paid. Shop through it instead of going direct, and part of your spend comes back. Each retailer sets its own rate, and most skip delivery charges. By our count, fifty pounds plus five for delivery earns cash back on fifty, not fifty-five.

Cash back is paid once the retailer confirms your order and pays Quidco. No payment date is fixed; the app shows an estimate. It works in one country for now. Next, turn online purchases straight into gift cards.

3. Capital One Shopping

Number five: Capital One Shopping, with gift card rewards from $5. By our count, its home page's 5% on a $40 order is $2. Subscribe now to catch every exact payout breakdown and save on your upcoming purchases. Every rule in this video comes straight from each app's own pages, linked below.

You add its free browser extension and click Activate when it asks. Rewards have no cash value; you redeem them for eGift cards. An eGift card can take up to three business days to issue. It works in one country for now, for adults at least eighteen.

Next, see which site pays you when you hit $10.

4. Mr Rebates, which pays out once you have ten dollars

Number four: Mr Rebates, which pays out once you have $10. You log in, click a store's link, and buy as you normally would. You get a set percentage of the order, minus taxes, shipping and fees. One example in its rules: 2% on a hundred dollars earns $2.

The home page lists one big store at 1%. Say Maya's order there is a hundred dollars of household supplies. By our count, that's a dollar back for each hundred-dollar order. New rebates stay pending for ninety days, then checks go out once a month.

Then you can ask for a check, PayPal, Venmo or an Amazon gift card. Membership is free, for adults at least eighteen. An account idle for over a year may be charged $2 a month. Next, unlock cash back directly from simple grocery offers.

5. Shopmium, which pays out once you reach ten pounds

Number three: Shopmium, which pays out once you reach ten pounds. You download the app, pick an offer, and buy it as usual. Then submit your receipt to claim the cash back. Each offer adds the cash back credits it describes to your balance.

A claim is processed within two business days. You withdraw to your bank or PayPal, and you choose when. Say Maya picks two offers on her weekly shop. By our count, two offers a week is eight claims a month.

The service is free of charge. Claim an offer every hundred eighty days to avoid a small monthly fee. It works in a few countries for now. Next, get your store receipts approved within forty-eight hours.

6. Checkout 51, which pays out when you hit twenty dollars

Number two: Checkout 51, which pays out when you hit $20. You add offers in the app, shop at the store, and keep your receipt. You tap Redeem, pick the items you bought, and upload one receipt at a time. Each offer shows its own cash back in the app, and some conditions apply.

Receipts can take up to forty-eight hours to be approved. Say Leo adds three offers to his weekly list. By our count, three offers a week is twelve redeemed items a month. At $20, you're paid by PayPal or a mailed check.

The account is free, and it works on a phone or a computer. Stay active: a long-idle account may pay a small monthly charge. It works in two countries for now. Next, turn almost any paper receipt into reward points.

7. Fetch, where most rewards start at three thousand points

Number one: Fetch, where most rewards start at 3,000 points. It gives points for receipts from groceries, fast food or clothing stores. You open the app, tap the orange camera button, and snap the whole receipt. You'll earn at least twenty-five points for any physical receipt you snap.

Offers also reward points for buying certain items or shopping at certain stores. Say Maya snaps her grocery, fuel and café receipts, three a week. By our count, three receipts a week at twenty-five points is seventy-five points. Snap each receipt within fourteen days of the checkout date.

Rewards are mostly electronic gift cards, and they process within seventy-two hours. No credit card is needed; you sign up with a phone number. It works in one country for now. Cash back takes weeks?
