TopCashback is the portal for people who check rates before every online order. It lists over 7,000 retailers, from Best Buy and Walmart to Booking.com and Nike, and says it passes 100% of the commission a retailer pays it back to you as Cash Back, funding itself through sponsored ads, promotions and occasional retailer bonuses. A Highest Cash Back Guarantee backs the rates. Cash Back should appear on your Earnings page within 7 days, but it becomes payable only after the retailer's return period ends, or after the trip for travel bookings. Cash-out choices are broad: bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo or gift cards, with bonuses of up to 5% on some options such as the Virtual Visa Prepaid Card and Amazon gift cards. There is a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari and a mobile app. In-store earning exists but is a smaller part of the offer than at Ibotta or Upside.
