Bowflex Cashback: Every Portal's Rate, Compared

Bowflex cashback FAQ

Which portal pays the most for Bowflex cashback right now?

BeFrugal, at 10%. That's the rate a returning shopper gets, which is how the table ranks: an "up to" ceiling or a new-customer rate never takes this spot over a lower rate everyone gets.

How long does Bowflex cashback take to pay out?

On a click-through portal there are two waits, one after the other: the portal has to confirm the order with Bowflex, which mostly tracks Bowflex's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Bowflex's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.

• BeFrugal: Verified cash back sits in the account for 30 to 90 days, set by the retailer's return policy and its payment cycle with BeFrugal. Store pages say cash back is typically available for payment 15 to 60 days after purchase. Payout: On request. Most payouts are sent on the next business day after the request.
• TopCashback: No fixed window. Cash back goes pending, then confirmed once the retailer reviews the order, then payable once the retailer's network is invoiced. TopCashback prints an estimated payout speed on each merchant's page. Payout: On request, once the cash back is payable. Adding bank, PayPal or Venmo details puts a 72-hour hold on the account first.
