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:

1. Activate. Find an offer you like, then tap to activate and add it to your account.
2. 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.
3. 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!
