Want to stretch your Walmart shopping budget further? RebatesMe members now earn up to 6% cash back on Walmart purchases! This hands-on guide walks you through how to claim your cash back, maximize your savings, and get paid faster when shopping at America's largest retailer.

What Exactly Is Walmart Cash Back Through RebatesMe?

When most shoppers think about "Walmart cash back," they picture requesting extra cash at the register when paying with a debit card. RebatesMe offers something completely different – and potentially much more valuable.

RebatesMe Walmart cash back rewards you with actual money back on your online Walmart purchases. Instead of the fixed $20 or $40 you might get at checkout, you'll earn a percentage of your entire purchase – up to 6% depending on your purchase.

Answers to Common Walmart Cash Back Questions

Is there a maximum limit to my potential Walmart cash back?

Unlike the $100 cap at Walmart registers, RebatesMe places no upper limit on your potential earnings. Whether you're buying a $50 grocery order or a $2,000 television, you'll earn the advertised percentage on the entire purchase amount.

How quickly will I see my cash back in my account?

Most Walmart purchases appear in your RebatesMe account within 1-3 days with "Pending" status. The confirmation process typically takes 30-90 days, depending on the product's return window.

Can I earn cash back on Walmart grocery pickup orders?

Yes! When you initiate your Walmart grocery pickup or delivery order through RebatesMe, those purchases qualify for cash back at our standard grocery category rate.

What if I forget to click through RebatesMe before shopping?

For the best experience, always start at RebatesMe.com or use our browser extension. However, if you occasionally forget, our extension can sometimes help attribute very recent purchases – though this isn't guaranteed.

Will using Walmart promotional codes affect my cash back?

Official Walmart promo codes typically work seamlessly with RebatesMe cash back. However, third-party coupon codes or cashback extensions occasionally interfere with proper tracking. For guaranteed earnings, stick with Walmart's promotions.

Does RebatesMe cash back count as taxable income?

Cash back is generally considered a purchase incentive or rebate rather than income. However, we recommend consulting your tax professional for specific advice.
