What EXACTLY do I have to do to earn cash back on my purchases? To earn your cash back, simply log into your account, click one of our merchant's links or a "Shop Now" button. You will be taken directly to the merchant's website. Immediately after that, make a purchase on their website as you normally would do if you went directly there. That's it! We will track your steps along the way, and credit your cash back when we receive it from the merchant. You can check the status of the transaction, see your cleared and pending earnings, and recent activity on your Earnings page.
