ShopBack Highlights
Direct Link to ShopBack (this link contains my referral code)
ShopBack is a cashback portal and extension – click through the portal or the extension and earn cashback on purchases at hundreds of retailers.
Here a few interesting offers that I see right now; these offers will change over time. You should be able to see many of the current boosted deals at this link.
- Amazon (portal link)- ShopBack is offering
$1 back for each and every purchase you make on Amazon1.5% cashback on Amazon purchases, up to $5 per order and up to 5 purchases each month. Maximize by only clicking Shopback on your large Amazon purchases. Note: The terms exclude purchases paid with your Amazon gift card balance. For the Amazon cashback you need to click through the extension, whereas for other retailers you can click through the online portal without the extension. ShopBack does insert their affiliate cookie on the Amazon purchase which will supersede any other affiliate you clicked from. Walmart (portal link) – currently they are offering 20% back on Walmart purchases in select categories. Max $15 cashback.Doordash (portal link) – 10% back, up to $10 back on an order.Uber EATS – earn $4 on each order (not limited to first order like on other portals).
Referral Bonus $15 & More
ShopBack has a nice signup bonus of $15 for new members who sign up using a referral link. The $15 will reflect immediately in your ShopBack. Within 180 days, the new member has to earn $15 in Confirmed Cashback. The $15 referral bonus will then become available if you’ve confirmed your Paypal withdrawal details.
There’s also a $15 bonus for the referrer. After signing up, you’ll be able to find your referral link on this page.
If you ever wanted to buy me a drink, here is my ShopBack referral link. Thanks. 🙂 (You’ll see the referral bonus reflected when clicking through the link. You can also go directly to Shopback.com and enter referral code 9f41g1 during signup and you’ll see the $15 signup bonus reflected on the page.)
$5 Extension Bonus
They also typically have a special offer for new members to get $5 for adding the Shopback browser extension and using it once. These offers vary, but keep a lookup on your Quests.
$6 Shipping Bonus
New users typically also have an offer to get $5.98 in bonuses via two $2.99 shipping rebates if you shop through the Shopback browser extension. You have to apply the rebate at checkout and then the cashback shows up in your account afterward. Some report getting those shipping rebates even when there was no shipping cost. YMMV. New users should see this shipping rebate offer on their Quests page. It only works at select retailers (including Walmart, Best Buy, eBay, Petco, Temu, DoorDash, Newegg and more), and only when using the extension. Easyish $5.98 in bonuses.
Quests Bonus
You can also get various other bonuses on Shopback by going to the Quests tab at the top of the page, or use this link. Be sure to ‘Join’ the Quests and then afterward ‘claim’ the bonus. You might be doing some of these activities anyway and these are easy additional bonuses.
Here are some of the Quests bonuses, these bonuses will change over time; I’ll leave these here just as examples:
- $10 bonus for shopping any 3 brands
- $20 on first purchase with a minimum spend of $10 or more
- $20 for spending $250 on travel brands
- For Ulta and Bed Bath & Beyond: shop $100 and get $10 (that’s on top of the regular portal rates)
Note: Quests are sometimes shown only to selected users, and they also have a quota which runs out; it can run out until you ‘Claim’ it so do that as soon as you can. Click on each Quests offer separately to find additional details and terms of the offer.
Cashout
ShopBack offers Paypal to cashout. $5 minimum required to cashout.

Our Verdict
This looks to be an easy $15 with the initial signup referral bonus if you can get $5 in cashback earnings (e.g. five Amazon purchases or any other merchant). And hopefully you’ll get a few Quests bonuses or other increased offers which can spruce up your earnings further.
Other than the initial signup bonuses, the portal can be useful for the cashback earn on Amazon and for some of the other boosted cashback offers as well. Always compare rates against other shopping portals on Cashbackmonitor or another aggregator.
ShopBack has a Wikipedia page and has apparently been around since at least 2015. They seem to be an established company in other countries and are now expanding into the U.S. (We have no direct relationship with ShopBack.)
The Shopback platform has a sleek and professional feel. I also like that the terms are spelled out clearly for each retailer. Hopefully this will turn out to be another useful shopping portal/extension. Feel free to chime in below with your experiences.
