How to get Kipling cashback, step by step

  1. Open GoCashBack's Kipling page and click through to Kipling from there. That click is what ties the order to your account, so start every Kipling order this way rather than from a bookmark or a search result. The rate as we last read it was 4%.
  2. 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.
  3. Check out in one go, using only codes GoCashBack itself shows for Kipling. A code from somewhere else can void the cashback on many stores.
  4. Wait for it to confirm. It can take up to 120 days for cash back to become available. Returning part of the order, or cancelling it, changes what gets paid.
  5. Get paid. GoCashBack pays by: PayPal, check, gift card (US only) or Helipay. Minimum: $10 in withdrawable cash back, not counting sign-up, referral or activity bonuses for the first withdrawal. Timing: On request. A payment request is processed within 7 to 14 business days.

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 Kipling's.

Kipling cashback FAQ

Which portal pays the most for Kipling cashback right now?

GoCashBack, at 4%. 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 Kipling 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 Kipling, which mostly tracks Kipling's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Kipling's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
