Drumroll, please! RetailMeNot is excited to formally announce the return of its sixth annual Cash Back Day event (Nov. 7-9) – another full three days of stackable savings and featuring thousands of exclusive deals and deep cash back offers (up to 20% cash back!) from your favorite brands. Don’t miss this opportunity to score throwback discounts on the latest brands to help you kick off the holiday season!
This year’s lineup includes Walmart, Samsung, Pandora, Lowe’s, Best Buy, Carter’s, Old Navy and many more. Stay tuned for the full list of brands that will be participating. You can expect to be able to earn cash back on numerous shopping categories like apparel, tech, home decor, entertainment, travel and more.
What Is Cash Back Day?
Cash Back Day is an exclusive online shopping event that rewards shoppers with up to 20% cash back on purchases made at hundreds of their favorite stores. The online event was created by RetailMeNot in 2019 to kick off the holiday season with some of the biggest cash back offers of the year.
By shopping through participating stores and activating cash back offers, shoppers can get paid to shop! For example, say your favorite store is offering 10% cash back. If you activate a RetailMeNot cash back offer and spend $100 at that retailer, you’ll get $10 back within 45 days of your purchase. Better yet, RetailMeNot automatically stacks codes and cash back offers onto your purchase to maximize your savings every time you shop! So if you activate a coupon code on RetailMeNot, you can trust RetailMeNot to automatically apply available cash back offers to your cart – no effort needed.
Cash Back Day’s early-November timing is by design! According to our holiday survey (see methodology), we know that 76% of American shoppers plan to start their holiday shopping before Thanksgiving this year. Financial strain also remains a concern, with rising prices (50%), budget constraints (39%), and the hunt for the best deals (31%) adding to holiday stress, making Cash Back Day the perfect time to score your holiday must-haves and at the best price.
Cash Back Day isn’t the only time shoppers can earn cash back from RetailMeNot. In fact, the site offers cash back year round from up to 3,800 of your favorite retailers (and to-date has paid its cash back members $85 million and counting). What makes Cash Back Day special, though, is the richness of the offers — shoppers can earn up to 20% cash back during Cash Back Day.
Cash Back Day 2024: Curbing Holiday Budget Worries
Cash Back Day is perhaps the best way for shoppers to overcome some of the challenges they’ll be facing this season, with budget worries impacting holiday shopping habits:
- Over half of shoppers (50%) noted increasing prices as the top holiday shopping stressor. With Cash Back Day, shoppers can ease that burden by taking advantage of stackable savings to offset higher costs.
- Although rising prices remain a big concern for shoppers, our survey found that consumers still plan to shop this year’s holiday sales events and plan to spend an average of $1,069 this year (+14% vs 2023): $717 of this budget is planned to be spent on others and $353 on themselves.
- Cash Back Day shoppers plan to shop for the following items and shopping categories:
- Electronics, 66%
- Clothing including shoes and accessories, 65%
- Food and beverage, 32%
- Experiences and services (e.g., massage, concert tickets), 32%
- Home goods and decor, 29%
