FatWallet Cash Back
Recently, I asked What is Your Favorite Cash Back Program? A reader, Simon, pointed out that I forgot FatWallet!
I often mention the FatWallet Finance forums as one of my favorite places to hang out. But, as Simon reminded me, FatWallet also has a special place in my heart for earning cash back!
Let’s explore the FatWallet cash back program for Free Money Friday.
How to Earn Your FatWallet Cash Back
- Sign up for a FatWallet account.
- Shop for products using FatWallet Shopping.
- Redeem your cash back by PayPal or a check.
FatWallet Cash Back Details
Minimum Redemption. If you want to cash out your account by check, there is a $10 minimum. Paypal doesn’t require a minimum.
Payments. Cash back payments are processed weekly; it’s one of the quickest cash back programs.
Attach a Note. My favorite feature at FatWallet is the ability to attach a note. When you click on a cashback offer, you can put the details of the purchase. I usually put a high level description of what I’m buying and who it’s for so it will jog my memory down the road.
Finding Deals
In addition to the cash back, I also find that FatWallet is a helpful place to shop and research online. Between Today’s Top Deals, the Coupon Search, and the Hot Deals forum, the savings add up!
- Hot Free Money Deals: Chase Sapphire $100 | Chase Freedom $100
- Investing Bonuses: optionsXpress $100 | Lending Club $25
- Make your money work harder.

Thanks for the reminder about the PayPal payouts. I had $5 sitting in my account that I never thought I’d get up to $20 with. But thanks to your post I remembered I can PayPal it out (and no fees, too!) and get it now.
The time value of money. Excellent.
A while back you suggested arbitraging new 0% intro periods of credit cards by buying dollar coins from USMint.gov. Just wanted to report that I finally got a box of 250! They apparently kept rejecting orders that were more than 1 box.
