EyeBuyDirect Cashback: Every Portal's Rate, Compared
No single EyeBuyDirect cashback rate wins outright; the table below shows what each portal offers.
EyeBuyDirect cash back rates by portal
Every rate below was read from that portal's own EyeBuyDirect page, and every row shows when we last looked. Where a rate has a catch, the catch is printed next to the number rather than underneath it.

How these EyeBuyDirect 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.
EyeBuyDirect cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for EyeBuyDirect cashback right now?
No portal we track pays a flat everyday rate on EyeBuyDirect right now. What each one shows, including ceilings and flat amounts, is in the table above with its catch next to it.
How long does EyeBuyDirect 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 EyeBuyDirect, which mostly tracks EyeBuyDirect's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying EyeBuyDirect's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
