Corkcicle Cashback: Every Portal's Rate, Compared

Corkcicle cashback FAQ

Which portal pays the most for Corkcicle cashback right now?

BeFrugal, at 8%. 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 Corkcicle 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 Corkcicle, which mostly tracks Corkcicle's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Corkcicle'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.
• MaxRebates: Pending for 90 days to cover store return policies, cancellations and commission collection; it often takes up to 90 days for cash back to become payable, depending on the product and the merchant. Payout: On request, once the cash back is payable. A PayPal payout should arrive within 7 to 14 business days.
• chirpyest: Not available until the retailer's return period has elapsed, up to 180 days or longer from purchase. Payout: On chirpyest's current payment schedule, which its terms don't date.
