How to get Hickory Farms cashback, step by step
- Open RetailMeNot's Hickory Farms page and click through to Hickory Farms from there. That click is what ties the order to your account, so start every Hickory Farms order this way rather than from a bookmark or a search result. The rate as we last read it was 20%.
- 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 RetailMeNot itself shows for Hickory Farms. A code from somewhere else can void the cashback on many stores.
- Wait for it to confirm. In about 45 days the cash back lands in the RetailMeNot account as redeemable. Returning part of the order, or cancelling it, changes what gets paid.
- Get paid. RetailMeNot pays by: PayPal or Venmo, from the RetailMeNot account. Minimum: A minimum approved balance of $5.01 is required for a redemption. Timing: On request, once the cash back is approved in the account.

How these Hickory Farms 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.
Hickory Farms cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for Hickory Farms cashback right now?
RetailMeNot, at 20%. 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 Hickory Farms 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 Hickory Farms, which mostly tracks Hickory Farms's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Hickory Farms's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
