Anyone! it is totally free to open an account and start earning Cash Back!

How much does an account cost?
We never charge any fees at all for an account. It is totally free to set up.

Are there any catches or hidden fees?
Nope, no fees at all. We aren't going to charge you a fee when you get to a certain amount or when you request a check. A Krymus account is Totally Free!

If I sign up are you going to send me junk mail?
No. We hate junkmail and spam just as much as you do. The information we collect will never be given, sold or traded to anyone. Period.

Cash Back Questions:
What is Krymus Cash Back?
Krymus Cash Back is real cold hard cash. It is a rebate that you earn for making purchases through your personal shopping site. It is in addition to and seperate from all other discounts and coupons.

What is a Personal Shopping Site?
When you Sign Up you are given a personal homepage that you can always use to shop from. This page can be bookmarked or set as your home page so that you won't ever have to log in to do your shopping. (You will still need to log in to request a check)

What if I forget my Personal Shopping Site?
No problem. Just Login and you will automatically be taken there.

How do I go about getting Cash Back?
It's simple!
1. Either Login or go directly to your Personal Shopping Site.
2. Find a merchant you would like to shop with and click the link. (Note: This is VERY important. You MUST always get to the merchant through Krymus. If you use any other method to get to the merchant like Google, type it in, Favorite Places, etc, we will NOT be able to track it and give you cash back, so before you buy anything always go through Krymus!)
3. Shop on the website like you normally would.
4. A Cash Back rebate will show up in your account when the merchant reports the sale to us (usually 1 day).
Check out our Animated Demo for more information.

Will I see the Cash Back during Check Out?
No. Remember, Cash Back is done through Krymus, not the merchant. Don't panic when the Cash Back amount doesn't reflect during checkout from the merchant. This is Normal!

How much can I earn? Is there a limit?
There are no restrictions on how much you can earn. The sky is the limit!

How long after I buy something will I see Cash Back in My Account?
Most merchants report the transaction in just a day or two, but they have 3 weeks after all the items ship to report it! A merchant will NOT report a transaction until all the items have shipped, so if something is on back order, the transaction will not be reported until the last item is shipped!

How long after a purchase will it take for my Cash Back to become Available?
120 days. Why so long? Merchants have 120 days to reverse a transaction due to refunds etc. During the waiting time, your transactions will be listed as "reported". We can't pay you until the merchant pays us! When the waiting is over the transaction will change from "reported" to "Available". At this point you can request a check.

How is Cash Back Paid?
Cash Back is paid by check with a minimum payment of $20. When you reach $20 Available Cash Back, log in to your account and click Request a Payment. From here you can confirm or enter your mailing address and see the amount the check will be for. Checks are typically mailed within a week of being requested.

My Account? I have an account?!?
Yes. To get to the My Account page, just login or go directly to your Personal Shopping Site and click the My Account link at the top of the page. From here you will be able to view all of your transactions, change account settings, request a payment and view your support tickets.

Why are you giving me free money?!?
We are sharing a portion of what we earn with you! When you visit Krymus and click on a link to a merchant and then order something, the merchant pays us a commission on the sale for sending them a customer. It's win - win - win! They sell more, we keep the site up and running, and you earn Cash Back!

This seems too simple, Is this legal?
Absolutely! All of the merchants know exactly what we are doing and are all ok with it. Everything is totally above board and legitimate.

Can I visit a store later and still get Cash Back?
This is very important! The only way we can track Cash Back is if you make a purchase in this order: Visit Your Krymus Site, Click on a Merchant, Make a Purchase. If you close the window with the merchant and then go straight back to it, your Cash Back may not be credited. If you make a purchase and then go make another purchase without first going back to your Krymus Site, the second purchase may not be credited. Always follow the 3 step process: Visit the Krymus Site, Click on a Merchant, Make a Purchase.

Can I get Cash Back if I buy from a physical store (not through the internet)?
No. Cash Back is only available for online purchases.

What If I need to make a change to my order?
If you need to make a change to an order (size, color, quantity, etc) it is best to cancel your first order and then go to your Krymus Site, Click the merchant, and Make the purchase again. If you contact the merchant to change the order they will sometimes just input it as a brand new order and will lose the tracking code that reports the sale to us.

Do all purchases Qualify For Cash Back?
Cash Back is never paid out on Gift Cards. In addition to that, occasionally Merchants will make restrictions on a few items. If you make a purchase and it does not show up in your account for 3 weeks after the items are shipped, Contact Us.
REMEMBER: You get paid when we get paid. If we don't, you don't. That puts us on the same side! We want your Cash Back to be reported accurately just as much as you do! If Cash Back is ever not reported after 3 weeks from the time the items shipped, LET US KNOW! We will contact the Merchant for you and find out what is going on!

What if I see a problem when viewing My Account?
Please remember the timeline:
Orders can be reported up to 3 weeks from the shipping date. Your account will not show anything until the order is reported.
120 days after the shipping date, your money will be available
Cash Back payments are usually processed weekly.

If, after considering the timeline, there is still a problem, please Contact Us!

There are no businesses listed. Just business descriptions.
You probably have some sort of Ad Blocking software installed. Please view our detailed instructions for disabling this.

Why isn't <some merchant> listed on your site?
We list merchants on our site as they become available. If a merchant is not on our site, it usually means that they do not have the tracking built in that we require so that we can credit you with Cash Back.

What if I still have questions?
Please Contact Us.
