Rakuten (formerly Ebates)

Rakuten pays out quarterly via cheque or PayPal; new members typically receive a $10–30 sign-up bonus. The browser extension activates cashback automatically without requiring you to remember to visit the portal. Outperforming #2 TopCashback in store count, Rakuten covers 30% more major retailers, and its average cashback rate of 8% is 2% higher than the typical rival portal.
