How to get PublicLands cashback, step by step
- Open Fluz's PublicLands page and buy a gift card for the amount of your PublicLands order. The rate as we last read it was 6.5%. Instant. The cashback lands in the Fluz balance when the gift card is bought.
- Pay for your PublicLands order with that gift card, the same way you'd use any PublicLands 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 PublicLands, 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

How these PublicLands 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.
PublicLands cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for PublicLands cashback right now?
Fluz, at 6.5%. 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 PublicLands 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 PublicLands, which mostly tracks PublicLands's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying PublicLands's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
