What is Cash Back?

Whether using the Karma app or browser extension, Cash Back is designed to turn your online shopping into real savings. As a registered user, you’ll automatically earn Cash Back on qualified purchases from participating retailers, along with perks like a $5 welcome bonus and exclusive rewards. Your earnings are automatically tracked in your Karma account and can be easily withdrawn to a verified PayPal account once eligible.

How does Cash Back work?

In Karma Browser Extension: Activate the Karma Extension and log in → visit a store that supports Cash Back → shop as usual, your eligible purchases will be tracked automatically.

In Karma Safari Extension (for iPhone): Enable the Safari Extension and log in → visit a store that supports Cash Back → shop as you normally would.

In Karma Mobile App: Open the Karma App and log in → browse and shop at any Cash Back supported store.

Note: You can complete your purchase within the Karma App or through an external browser if redirected.

Purchases made in a retailer’s own app will not be tracked, and Cash Back will not apply.

What is a Supported Store and How to Check It?

Thousands of top brands, including Levi’s, Chanel, and Adidas, offer Cash Back rewards through Karma. You can easily check whether a store supports Cash Back by following the steps below:

On Karma Browser Extension: Go to a retailer’s site → click the K button → if the store supports Cash Back, view the estimated Cash Back percentage.

On Karma Mobile App: Open the Karma App and tap the shop tab → search for the store name → tap the Favorite icon to save it → go to Faved stores and select the store → if it’s a supported store, view the Cash Back section at the bottom of the page.

On Karma Dashboard (Web): Log in to your Karma Dashboard → scroll to the Cash Back section and click See All → use the search bar, scroll through the list, or browse by category.
