How it works

1. Click through from a store page. Turn on click receipts once in your account. From then on, every click from a store page here out to a portal saves a click receipt automatically: the store, the portal, the rate we showed and the time.
2. Track the purchase. If you bought something, open its click receipt and tap "Track this purchase". Add the order total and number, and up to 5 screenshots of the confirmation.
3. See pending and paid in one place. Every tracked purchase sits in one list, whichever portal it went through. This part is manual: portals don't tell us when they pay you, so you set each status yourself when the portal shows it.
4. Get a reminder before the deadline. If a tracked purchase hasn't paid and its portal publishes a claim deadline, we email you once in the last 7 days before it closes. That email is on every plan.

Checking rates is free, no account needed, and the portals are free to join too. A free account adds a rate alert and saved point values. Premium gets you more alerts with instant delivery, the full rate archive, exports, and premium on our sister site PointAuctions.com (switched on from your account page), for $5/mo, $50/yr, or $150 once.

No - nothing here is pay-to-play. We list all portals we can, hard stop, and portals cannot pay us to hide or obfuscate their rankings. If we ever highlight or feature a portal, it will be clearly labeled as such. Some portal links earn us a referral bonus when you join through them; that's disclosed everywhere it applies and never touches the numbers. The full story is on the disclosure page.

Whichever is paying the most at the store you want to make a purchase at. Joining portals is free, and most people have accounts at more than a handful of them. The one caveat is that if you sign up, and make a purchase through a new portal, you have to make sure you actually cash out once cashback posts. An account on CheckBeforeYouShop helps with just this: click receipts give you a bird's eye view of every portal shopping trip you start here, and if cashback goes missing, the purchase tracker keeps the purchase, your screenshots, and the portal's claim deadline in one place.

It's one dashboard of the portal purchases you're waiting on, whichever portals you use. You add the order details, set each status as the portal shows it, and if a portal publishes a claim deadline, we email you before it closes. It doesn't file claims for you or check what portals pay. Free accounts get 1 new tracked purchase per month, and premium has no monthly limit.

Depends on what you'll actually use. Cash is simple: a dollar is a dollar. Miles can be worth well more than the cashback rate on the same purchase, but only if you actually redeem them. We show each in its own units and let you decide.
