About Mr. Rebates
Mr. Rebates is one of the longest-running cashback portals in the US, founded in 2002. Two structural advantages set it apart: cashback balances never expire, and the lifetime referral program pays a 20% bonus on the cashback earned by every member you refer for as long as that member remains active. Mr. Rebates does not run frequent flash bonus events, but the consistent base rates often beat better-known competitors at long-tail and B2B retailers.
Payout method
PayPal or check after the cashback balance clears the $10 minimum threshold. Cashback typically posts as pending within 3-10 business days of a tracked order and clears to payable after the retailer's published return window closes.

How Mr. Rebates stacks with promo codes
Cashback through Mr. Rebates is paid on the post-discount, pre-tax subtotal in nearly every case, which means a working DealTrackr promo code reduces the dollar amount of cashback but does not disqualify the order from the cashback program. The correct order of operations is: load the retailer page from a fresh browser tab, copy the promo code from DealTrackr, click the Mr. Rebates merchant tile to open a tracked session, complete checkout, and confirm both the discount line and the Mr. Rebates tracking confirmation are visible before submitting payment.
