Update 5/7/25: A few interesting cashback rates this week: May 7-8 get 10% back at Walmart (capped at $10) and $4 per UberEATS order; May 9-11 get 15% back at eBay (capped at $10), 10% back at Giftcards.com (capped at $30), and 10% back at DoorDash (capped at $10). (You can combine these with the $20 signup bonus or potentially the $10 Quests bonus as well.)
Update 5/1/25: The $20 signup bonus (when using a referral link) has been extended through 5/19/25. There’s also now a Quests offer (for new and existing members) to get $10 when shopping $150+ at two separate merchants. And some newer users are seeing an offer to get $5 with first purchase from the portal extension.
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 purchase on Amazon. 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. Note: 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).
- Temu – 20% back
Referral Bonus
ShopBack has a nice signup bonus of $20 for new members who sign up using a referral link. The $20 will reflect immediately in your ShopBack. Within 180 days, the new member has to earn $5 in Confirmed Cashback. The $20 referral bonus will then become available if you’ve confirmed your Paypal withdrawal details.
There’s also a $30 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 an expensive drink, here is my ShopBack referral link. Thanks. 
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 will hopefully to be around through April 11, 2025:
- $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.
Update History
- Update 4/28/25: There’s a new Quests bonus you can join and get $5 when spending $30+ at two merchants from 4/28 – 5/4.
- Update 4/21/25: The $20 signup bonus for signing up via a referral link has been extended through April 30th.
There is also a $10 Quests bonus for shopping at any 3 brands (and some other deals there as well) – these are for new members and existing members. - (Updated 4/8/25: Through April 11th, sign ups should be eligible for three bonuses: $20 referral link signup bonus, $20 first purchase Quests bonus, $10 with 3 purchases Quests bonus. Total $50 bonus on top of the regular cashback earn. More details below.)
- Update 4/7/25: Actually it appears that the ‘Quests’ for $20 back on your first purchase tracked for me separate than the initial signup bonus. And so I think this will be $55 for signing up and meeting a few requirements: $20 for signing up with a referral + $20 if you activate the Quest for first purchase and then claim it + $10 for making 3 purchases + $5 for first browser extension purchase. Note, some of these bonuses end tonight 4/7/25 11:59 PT.
- Update 4/6/25: A reader points out there are also Quests which you can do which will help you earn more (some of the things you’re probably doing anyway). It should add $15 on top of the $20 referral signup bonus; see details in the new Quests section, below. Be sure to ‘Join’ and opt into each Quests offer. If you already met the signup bonus requirement, you can still opt in and do these bonuses pretty easily for an added $15 for a few purchases and a browser extension added.
Our Verdict
This looks to be an easy $20 with the initial signup referral bonus if you can get $5 in cashback earnings (e.g. five Amazon purchases or any other merchant). It should be easy enough to also get the $20 Quests bonus when shopping $10+ on your first purchase, and also the $10 Quests bonus with shopping at 3 merchants between March 31 and April 15th. I’d try to make my first purchase $10 or higher in order to trigger the $20 Quests bonus, and then claim the bonus after it tracks.
Other than the initial signup bonuses, the portal can be useful for the $1 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.)
I only learned about ShopBack today and browsed around their site a bit. Overall the entire platform has a sleek and professional feel. I also like that the terms are spelled out clearly for each retailer. Hopefully this will be another useful shopping portal/extension. Feel free to chime in below with your experiences.
