Step One -- Shop

I only managed to put a few links in the "categories" column so far. So please go to A-Z Store List's "0 - L" and "M - Z" pages, and click through the banners and links to go shopping. You'll see some special links to "coupons and promotions" and you'll save money by taking advantage of those promotions.

On top of coupon savings and promotion offers, each transaction you make through these links could either earn yourself cash back (cashback percentage, if any, is described after the store links), or help someone in the world gets to see the world clearly again -- because small cash back amount, if less than $15 (or in the case of you choosing to receive Amazon Gift Certificate, less than $10), goes to Lion's Certified Collection Centers (LCCC.)

Step Two -- Choose

Form of payment:

You can choose to receive

1. a check; or
2. an Amazon.com Electronic Gift Certificate*.

To qualify to receive a cash back check, you need to have earned at least $15 of cash back. To receive an Amazon.com Electronic Gift Certificate, you need to have earned at least $10 of cash back (easier to qualify!) Plus, the amount of your cash back will be rounded UP to a whole dollar amount if you choose to receive a Gift Certificate.

* By choosing the Amazon.com Electronic Gift Certificate option, you agree to return to Cashback Planet and click through any Amazon banners or text links when you are redeeming your Gift Certificate.

Recipient of payment:

1. receiving the cash yourself;
2. donate it to your favorite charity; or
3. donate it to Lion's Certified Collection Center.

The third option is the default. Cash back that does not exceed $15 is donated to Lion's Certified Collection Center.

It's Better to Give Than to Receive -- And Your Charity Will Receive More

Research shows acts of kindness can make your life happier. Cashback Planet wants you to be happy. If you choose the second option (donating it to your favorite charity,) Cashback Planet will match 10% of your cashback amount (not 10% of your purchase amount) and add it to your cash back. So it is even easier to qualify for a cashback check.

For example, if you spend $200 at Drugstore.com and then $50 at Plow & Hearth, your cashback before the charity match is:

($200 x 6%) + ($50 x 4%) = $14

$14 then will be combined with the match of $1.4 so the total is $15.4 and it exceeds the minimum of $15.

And it gets better! If you can get your favorite charity to place a link to Cashback Planet on their Web site, we will match 15% of your cashback! Be sure to let me know if you got your charity to link to us.

Step Three -- E-mail

Simply forward the confirmation e-mail to me at If you shopped at multiple sites, please wait until you receive all the confirmation e-mails, then forward the e-mails to me at one time. So I can add up your cash back and see if they qualify you for a check. I only compute cashback once per day. If I receive your e-mails on different days, your multiple purchases will not be added together.

Please include, in one of your forwarded e-mail,

• the form of payment option you're choosing from step two,
• the recipient option you're choosing from step two and ..
• your name and mailing address, so we know who to make the check to and where to mail it. If you choose to receive Gfit Certificate, we will e-mail it to the return address of your e-mail.
• If you choose to donate the cash back to a charity other than LCCC, we will need the name, address, and e-mail address (if available) for the donee charity as well as your name and address -- unless you choose to be anonymous.

Checks are now issued by Lions Certified Collection Centers.

If you choose the second recipient option, we will mail you the image of the cashback check, showing the line "Donated in the name of ......" in the memo.

And You're Done. Just Wait and Receive Cashback!

Most partner stores implement a "waiting period." This is the time they want us to wait before cash back can be redeemed. The purpose is to ensure there are no issues like product returns. Amazon.com, for example, has a waiting period of two months. Cashback Planet's cashback checks are issued toward the end of a month, after the waiting periods.
