What counts toward the $30

Only purchases that earn cash back count, from one store or several. Returned, exchanged or cancelled orders are removed from the total, so keep some margin above $30.

Rakuten, formerly Ebates Canada, pays cash back when you shop at partner stores through its website, app or browser extension. The 90-day window and eligibility rules come from Rakuten Canada's referral program terms, checked September 27, 2026.
