How to get Home Chef cashback, step by step
- Open Fluz's Home Chef page and buy a gift card for the amount of your Home Chef order. The rate as we last read it was 11%. Instant. The cashback lands in the Fluz balance when the gift card is bought.
- Pay for your Home Chef order with that gift card, the same way you'd use any Home Chef gift card.
- Buy only what you'll spend. The cashback is paid when you buy the card, and a card balance you never use is money parked at Home Chef, not savings.
- Get paid. Fluz pays by: Bank transfer (ACH), PayPal or Venmo, or spent in the app on more gift cards. Without a US bank account, PayPal or Venmo. Minimum: $15 in lifetime earnings once, then $1 per withdrawal. Timing: On request; 2 to 7 business days. Fluz charges no fee, but passes on any transfer fee it's charged.
Getting paid, portal by portal
Each portal's own help pages, as written there. The source link on each row goes to the page it came from. These are the portal's terms, not Home Chef's.

How these Home Chef 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.
Home Chef cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for Home Chef cashback right now?
Fluz, at 11%. 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 Home Chef 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 Home Chef, which mostly tracks Home Chef's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Home Chef's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
- Fluz: Instant. The cashback lands in the Fluz balance when the gift card is bought. Payout: On request; 2 to 7 business days. Fluz charges no fee, but passes on any transfer fee it's charged.

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.
