How to get Discount School Supply cashback, step by step
- Open RebatesMe's Discount School Supply page and click through to Discount School Supply from there. That click is what ties the order to your account, so start every Discount School Supply order this way rather than from a bookmark or a search result. The rate as we last read it was 6%.
- Shop in that same tab and session. Don't leave for a coupon site and come back, and turn off any other cashback or coupon extension before you check out: the last click before the order is the one that gets credited, and another extension's click can take it.
- Check out in one go, using only codes RebatesMe itself shows for Discount School Supply. A code from somewhere else can void the cashback on many stores.
- Wait for it to confirm. Cash back becomes available after the 90-day return window. Returning part of the order, or cancelling it, changes what gets paid.
- Get paid. RebatesMe pays by: PayPal, credit card, Alipay, check or gift cards. Minimum: $10 in available cash back, not counting bonuses.

How these Discount School Supply numbers were produced
- Read directly from each portal's own merchant page, never copied from another comparison site.
- A rate we could not read is reported as unread. It is never converted into a zero, and a failed check never overwrites a previously good number.
- "Up to" and new-customer-only rates are labelled as such and are not allowed to win the top spot over a lower rate that everyone actually gets.
Discount School Supply cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for Discount School Supply cashback right now?
RebatesMe, at 6%. 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 Discount School Supply 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 Discount School Supply, which mostly tracks Discount School Supply's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Discount School Supply's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
