Temperatures are heating up across the country this week — and so are our cash back opportunities here at RetailMeNot!
With the kids home from school and your PTO queued up for summer fun, why not take every opportunity to earn some “free money” for the purchases you were planning to make anyway? RetailMeNot has thousands of cash back opportunities from all of your favorite retailers — and plenty of lesser-known brands that are sure to become your new faves, too. Some of these cash back opportunities are particularly good, offering as much as 20% cash back up to $50! Plus, you’ll automatically get $5 in your account just for signing up for your RetailMeNot account, if you haven’t already.
This week, we picked out five of RetailMeNot’s best cash back opportunities that’ll come in handy when shopping for all things summer. From stylish swimwear and sunglasses to summer reads and hobby-honing classes, you’ll earn a little money back for every purchase. Plus, you can stack these offers with any deals or coupons the brands are currently offering customers. So let’s dive in!
How Does RetailMeNot Cash Back Work?
Earning cash back with RetailMeNot is super easy, and all you need to do to get started is sign up for a free account. Once you’re logged in, you’re just a few short steps away from earning cash back:
- Activate. Find an offer you like, then tap to activate and add it to your account.
- Shop. When you activate a cash back offer, the retailer’s site will open in a new tab, so just shop and checkout as you normally do.
- Redeem. After your purchase is complete, you’ll get an email to let you know that your cash back reward is headed your way. (It can take about 45 days for the money to appear in your account, so hang tight!) Once you have at least $5.01 cash back in your account, you can redeem your rewards and send the cash straight to your Venmo or PayPal.
Once redeemed, you can spend your cash however you want — because it’s not like real money, it is real money!
The 5 Best Cash Back Offers at RetailMeNot This Week
13% Cash Back at Vilebrequin

Make a splash this summer in stylish swimwear, rash guards and apparel for the whole family from Vilebrequin. While the brand is best known for their luxury swim trunks for men (you may have spotted them at Neiman Marcus), they also make stylish bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, beachy dresses and coverups, and lots more for women, as well as beachy gear for boys and girls, too. Aside from swimwear and apparel, you can also shop sunglasses, sun hats, beach towels, beach bags and other sunny-day accessories for fun in the sun.
Now for the elephant in the pool: Yes, Vilebrequin’s swim trunks are pretty pricey — but they’re super high-quality and crafted with the expertise of artisans from Italy, Spain and France. They’re tear-resistant, fast-drying and treated so the sun, chlorine and saltwater don’t wear them down like cheaper brands do. They really are made to last. Plus, their designs are just so colorful and fun! We could see them making a really awesome gift for a sun-and-surf-loving dad this Father’s Day. Best of all, you can really bring the price down significantly by being a savvy shopper.
Before you buy, be sure to sign up for Vilebrequin emails to score 15% off your first order — and stack that with 13% cash back (up to $50!) when you shop Vilebrequin through RetailMeNot from now through June 30.
14% Cash Back at Target Optical

As someone who has worn glasses for decades, I know that correcting poor eyesight can get expensive — especially when you like to have options. But did you know that one of your favorite discount department stores can also save you money when it comes to eyewear?
Target Optical offers affordable prescription eyewear and contact lenses as well as stylish sunglasses to keep your eyes protected through all of your summer adventures. Shop stylish frames from top brands like Ray-Ban, Emporio Armani, Coach, Oakley and Ralph Lauren, and top contact lens brands like Acuvue, Biofinity and Target’s own up&up.
Target Optical has several money-saving offers running right now, like 50% off designer prescription glasses, 50% off contact lenses, 20% off non-prescription sunglasses and the opportunity to use your vision insurance benefits, too. Plus, you can stack your on-site savings with 14% cash back when you shop Target Optical via RetailMeNot the entire month of June.
15% Cash Back at Magazines.com

If you’re looking for some light summer reading — the kind that you don’t care about getting splashed with chlorine water or covered in sand at the beach — then let us introduce you to the ancient art of magazines from Magazines.com! Kidding (kind of), but print magazines have become a lost art in the digital age, and there’s just something to be said for casually thumbing through their pages on a lazy summer afternoon. Instead of doomscrolling through your phone or getting your Kindle near large bodies of water, keep it easy and breezy with up to 90% off top titles like People, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, Southern Living, Reader’s Digest, Smithsonian, Time, Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure.
Maybe you’re looking for some food and beverage inspiration for your everyday meals or your next dinner party. Or maybe you’re looking to pick up a new hobby like quilting, woodworking, watercolor painting or golf. There are also plenty of options for screen-free fun for kids like the iconic Highlights and Ranger Rick.
Browse hundreds of magazine options for every interest — many of them at a great discount — and stack your savings with 15% cash back when you shop Magazines.com through RetailMeNot, now until June 30.
16% Cash Back at U Beauty

U Beauty is all about simplifying skincare without compromising results. As their first celebrity brand ambassador — The White Lotus‘ Michelle Monaghan — puts it, their products are perfect for minimalists who want maximalist results with science-backed technology and superior ingredients.
The luxury skincare, makeup and fragrance brand is perhaps best known for their top-selling suncare-primer hybrid: the Multimodal Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 25. The ultra-lightweight formula provides science-backed sun protection and doubles as a blurring primer with airbrush-like effects. Other bestsellers include their Resurfacing Compound, a product that claims to replace as many as eight of your typical skincare products, and The SUPER Hydrator, which locks in hydration across multiple levels of skin for up to 48 hours.
They’re currently offering free shipping for all orders, and a free travel-sized PROEM Eau de Parfum, SUPER Hydrator and PLASMA Lip Compound for orders totaling $200 or more. That’s not a difficult threshold to hit at U Beauty, so we absolutely recommend activating your 16% cash back offer through RetailMeNot, available now through June 30!
