Sittercity Cashback: Every Portal's Rate, Compared

Sittercity cashback FAQ

Which portal pays the most for Sittercity cashback right now?

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