Cashback websites referral programs

MrD · June 11, 2022

When you purchase from any websites listed on these portals, you will immediately receive 1%-10%+ back on every purchase. You can also enjoy a signup bonus and a referral bonus when you refer a friend, which in turn will benefit from the 1%-10% of cashback as well! Here are some of the most common cashback portals and what they offer for referring a friend.

Rakuten, $25

Rakuten is a cashback portal that focuses on online shopping. It’s probably the most popular cashback portal out there, with 2000+ stores available to shop from. Rakuten offers $25 for you and a $10 signup bonus for your friend when you refer a friend. The company will pay the bonus after your friend makes a qualifying purchase of at least $25 through their Rakuten account.

BeFrugal, $15

BeFrugal has the highest bonus for referring a friend ($15 extra) for you and a $10 signup bonus for your friend after making a $25+ purchase through the portal.

ExtraBucks, $5 + 5%

Yet another excellent cashback platform to get money back when shopping. Extrabux is pretty similar to the other platforms, but their referral program makes them unique.

That’s because Extrabux will pay you $5 for every person you refer to their platform, and they will match 5% of the referrals’ earnings for the first year and give it to you! The referral will also get the $5 bonus for signing up to Extrabux through your referral link. Signup to ExtraBux and start making money.

Dollar Dig, $2.5

Dollar Dig is not as famous as Rakuten or BeFrugal, but it’s another excellent option for earning cashback. Their program will pay you $2.50 for every friend you refer, and your friend will also get $2.50. You’ll need a balance of $25 (minimum) to cash out by PayPal or check.

Slide, $20

The Slide cashback app will pay you up to $20 for each friend you refer, and your friend will also get up to $20.

TopCashback, $10

Another great cashback portal, TopCashback, offers a $10 bonus for you when a friend joins and earns $10 in cashback.

Mr. Rebates, $5 + 20%

Mr. Rabates is the gift that keeps on giving. Although the initial referral payout is not as high as some other sites, you get LIFETIME referral fees of 20% for as long as your friend uses Mr. Rebates.

Rebaid, $10

Rebaid is a rebate site that offers deep discounts through rebates at websites like Amazon. Your friend will be able to get free products and deep discounts with their own free RebateKey account. In addition to some fantastic deals, you can earn $10 per referral for telling your friends about Rebaid.

Ibotta, $5

Ibotta is an excellent coupon app that allows you to get cashback for your regular purchases in the store – such as $0.50 for buying bread or $1.00 for trying a new brand of chips. Savings build up fast, and you also earn $5 for every referral while giving your friend $10 when they join through your link. The bonuses are added to your Ibotta balance. You must install the app through a referral link to receive both bonuses.

Giving Assistant, $5

This cashback site allows you to donate your cashback to non-profit organizations, or you can keep it for yourself. They’ll pay you $5 for each friend you refer, and your friend will also get $5 as a bonus. Your referral bonus will be applied to your balance after your friend earns cashback.

Shopkick, $1

Shopkick is a cashback app, but with a twist. You can also earn points (they call them kicks) for walking into stores and scanning items. You and your friends will get 250 kicks ($1) when they walk in or scan within seven days of installing the app.

Drop, $5, US & Canada

This is a cashback shopping app that features a lot of big brands. It works differently from the cashback apps I have already mentioned. With Drop, you have to connect your bank cards to the app, and then you will automatically earn cashback when you purchase at a partner merchant. There is a signup bonus of $5 to get your friend started.

Drop is available in the US and Canada.

Ampli, $5, Canada

I’m a massive fan of Ampli and was one of the first users on the platform. I like it because it is the definition of a passive income! Like Drop, with Ampli, all you have to do is link your bank cards, and you will automatically be paid cashback.

There is a referral bonus of $5 for any friends you get to sign up for Ampli. This is a Canada-only site.

Fetch Rewards, $2, USA

Fetch Rewards is a US-only cashback app that you can download by texting the number on their site. With Fetch, you upload your receipt to earn points that you then cash in for gift cards.

Once you have signed up, you can get your referral link and earn for referring friends. Both you and your friend will get 2000 points once they sign up and upload their first receipt to the app.

Caddle, $1, Canada

Caddle is a shopping app for Canadians. It works the same as Fetch, whereby you upload your receipts and earn cash (10 cents per receipt). There are also opportunities to make through surveys and bonus offers.

The nice thing about Caddle is that your friend doesn’t even have to spend money for you to get your referral fee – even completing a quick survey qualifies.
