No single Textbooks.com cashback rate wins outright; the table below shows what each portal offers.
Textbooks.com cash back rates by portal
Every rate below was read from that portal's own Textbooks.com page, and every row shows when we last looked. Where a rate has a catch, the catch is printed next to the number rather than underneath it.

How to get Textbooks.com cashback, step by step
No portal we track pays a flat everyday rate on Textbooks.com right now, so there's no single portal to send you to. Pick one from the table above, open its Textbooks.com page from the source link, and the steps are the same as on any other merchant page here: click through from the portal, shop in that same session, and check out without leaving for another coupon site.
Getting paid, portal by portal
Each portal's own help pages, as written there. The source link on each row goes to the page it came from. These are the portal's terms, not Textbooks.com's.

How these Textbooks.com 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.
Textbooks.com cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for Textbooks.com cashback right now?
No portal we track pays a flat everyday rate on Textbooks.com 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 Textbooks.com 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 Textbooks.com, which mostly tracks Textbooks.com's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Textbooks.com's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
- MyPoints: No confirmation window we have verified. Payout: On redemption. Some rewards are delivered immediately; others may take up to 10 business days to process.
- BeFrugal: Verified cash back sits in the account for 30 to 90 days, set by the retailer's return policy and its payment cycle with BeFrugal. Store pages say cash back is typically available for payment 15 to 60 days after purchase. Payout: On request. Most payouts are sent on the next business day after the request.
- 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.
- TopCashback: No fixed window. Cash back goes pending, then confirmed once the retailer reviews the order, then payable once the retailer's network is invoiced. TopCashback prints an estimated payout speed on each merchant's page. Payout: On request, once the cash back is payable. Adding bank, PayPal or Venmo details puts a 72-hour hold on the account first.
