Nolo Cashback: Every Portal's Rate, Compared

Nolo cashback FAQ

Which portal pays the most for Nolo cashback right now?

BeFrugal, at 30%. 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 Nolo 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 Nolo, which mostly tracks Nolo's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Nolo's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
