Paula's Choice Cashback: Every Portal's Rate, Compared
No single Paula's Choice cashback rate wins outright; the table below shows what each portal offers.
Paula's Choice cash back rates by portal

How these Paula's Choice 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.
Paula's Choice cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for Paula's Choice cashback right now?
No portal we track pays a flat everyday rate on Paula's Choice right now. What each one shows, including ceilings and flat amounts, is in the table above with its catch next to it.
How long does Paula's Choice 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 Paula's Choice, which mostly tracks Paula's Choice's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Paula's Choice's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
- Mr. Rebates: Rebates post to Pending within 1 to 3 business days of the order or ship date, then stay Pending for 90 days from the posting date before moving to Available. Payout: On request, once $10 in Available Rebates has accrued.
- CouponFollow: Pending for up to 60 days, to ensure a purchase isn't returned or refunded. Payout: Monthly: paid on the 25th to the linked PayPal account, arriving by month end; rewards earned on or after the 25th roll to the next month.
- Extrabux: Usually tracked within 1 to 7 days of purchase, then held through a 90-day window for returns or cancellations at most stores before it becomes available. Payout: On request. Requests are processed within 3 business days; PayPal and eGift cards typically land within 24 to 48 hours after that, ACH takes about 5 business days, and a check 1 to 2 weeks by post.
- 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.
