How to get E-File.com cashback, step by step
- Open RebatesMe's E-File.com page and click through to E-File.com from there. That click is what ties the order to your account, so start every E-File.com order this way rather than from a bookmark or a search result. The rate as we last read it was 30%.
- 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 E-File.com. 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 E-File.com 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.
E-File.com cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for E-File.com cashback right now?
RebatesMe, at 30%, tied with TopCashback at the same rate. 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 E-File.com 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 E-File.com, which mostly tracks E-File.com's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying E-File.com's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
- RebatesMe: Cash back becomes available after the 90-day return window.
- 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.
- Extrabux: Usually tracked within 1 to 7 days of purchase, then held through a 90-day window for returns or cancellations at most stores before it becomes available. Payout: On request.
