Cashback Hive wants to be open with you about how this website makes money. Please read this page so you know exactly how our links work and how we earn.
We use affiliate links
Most of the links on this website are affiliate links. When you click a link and complete a qualifying purchase at one of our 200+ partner stores, we earn a commission from that store.
A portion of that commission is paid back to you as cashback. This is how Cashback Hive works. We share the earnings with you.
You pay the same price you would pay if you went to the store directly. There is no markup, no hidden fee, and no extra cost to using our links.
How we get paid
When you shop through Cashback Hive, the store pays us a commission for sending you to them. We then pass a percentage of that commission to you as cashback. The rest covers the cost of running this site, paying our team, and growing the platform.
This model lets us offer Cashback Hive completely free to members. No subscription. No credit card required. No hidden fees.
Partner brands and networks
Cashback Hive partners directly with brands and through major affiliate networks. We work with 200+ stores covering shopping, fashion, home goods, electronics, food, beauty, and more.
The list of partners changes as we add new brands and as existing brands update their offers. You can always see the most current list on our brands page.
Amazon and other major retailers
When applicable, Cashback Hive is a participant in affiliate advertising programs including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. These programs are designed to give sites like ours a way to earn fees by linking to qualifying purchases.
As an Amazon Associate we may earn from qualifying purchases.
Our promise to you
- We only partner with stores we believe are trustworthy and worth your time.
- Commission rates do not influence which brands we feature on our homepage or recommend to you.
- The cashback rate shown next to each store is the rate you will earn. We do not inflate or fake these numbers.
- You are never required to use Cashback Hive. You can always shop at any store directly.
- All cashback is tracked automatically through our affiliate links. If a purchase does not track, contact our support team.
How tracking works
When you click a store link from Cashback Hive, a cookie is placed on your device. This cookie tells the store that we sent you. If you complete a qualifying purchase, the cashback is added to your account.
Cashback may take up to 90 days to be confirmed by the store. Some stores have specific terms that exclude certain product categories, used coupons not provided by us, or returns from earning cashback. Always check the store-specific terms shown on our brand pages.
What does NOT earn cashback
To set clear expectations, the following typically do not earn cashback:
- Purchases made without clicking through Cashback Hive first
- Items returned, cancelled, or refunded
- Purchases made with coupon codes not listed on Cashback Hive
- Gift card purchases (in most cases)
- Subscriptions after the first billing cycle (in some cases)
Specific exclusions vary by store and are listed on each brand page.
Your privacy
We do not sell your personal data to advertisers. Our affiliate tracking only records that you clicked a link from our site. For more details, please read our Privacy Policy.
