How to get Loft cashback, step by step

  1. Open chirpyest's Loft page and click through to Loft from there. That click is what ties the order to your account, so start every Loft order this way rather than from a bookmark or a search result. The rate as we last read it was 7.5%.
  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 chirpyest itself shows for Loft. A code from somewhere else can void the cashback on many stores.
  4. Wait for it to confirm. Not available until the retailer's return period has elapsed, up to 180 days or longer from purchase. Returning part of the order, or cancelling it, changes what gets paid.
  5. Get paid. chirpyest pays by: US dollars via PayPal or Venmo. Minimum: $5.00; balances below $5.00 remain in the account for the next payment period. Timing: On chirpyest's current payment schedule, which its terms don't date.

Loft cashback FAQ

Which portal pays the most for Loft cashback right now?

chirpyest, at 7.5%, tied with Fluz at the same rate. 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 Loft 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 Loft, which mostly tracks Loft's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Loft's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.

Is there a minimum payout?
