How to get Go City cashback, step by step
- Open Mr. Rebates's Go City page and click through to Go City from there. That click is what ties the order to your account, so start every Go City 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 Mr. Rebates itself shows for Go City. A code from somewhere else can void the cashback on many stores.
- Wait for it to confirm. Rebates post to Pending within 1 to 3 business days of the order or ship date, then stay Pending for 90 days from the posting date before moving to Available. Returning part of the order, or cancelling it, changes what gets paid.
- Get paid. Mr. Rebates pays by: A rebate check by mail, or payment via PayPal, Venmo or an Amazon gift card. Minimum: $10 in Available Rebates. Timing: On request, once $10 in Available Rebates has accrued.

How these Go City 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.
Go City cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for Go City cashback right now?
Mr. Rebates, 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 Go City 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 Go City, which mostly tracks Go City's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Go City's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
