About Canada Cashback Monitor

Canada Cashback Monitor is your trusted source for comparing cashback rates across Canadian cashback sites. Our mission is to help Canadian shoppers save money by finding the best cashback deals available.

What We Do

We monitor and compare cashback rates from multiple Canadian cashback sites including Rakuten, Great Canadian Rebates (GCR), TopCashback and Swagbucks, plus loyalty programs like Aeroplan and Blue Rewards. Our platform makes it easy to find the best rate before you shop.

How It Works

• We scrape and monitor cashback rates from multiple Canadian cashback sites
• We consolidate and compare rates for thousands of stores
• We show you the best rate available so you can maximize your savings
• Click through to your preferred cashback site to start earning

Our Commitment

We are committed to providing accurate, up-to-date cashback information. While we do earn commission from referrals, we always show you all available options so you can make the best choice for your shopping needs.

Our Methodology

Cashback rates change constantly and differ from one portal to the next, so a rate you saw last week may no longer be the best one today. Our entire reason for existing is to remove that guesswork. Here is exactly how we collect, verify, and rank the data you see on this site:

• Sources we track: We monitor the public rate listings of Canada’s major cashback and rewards portals — Rakuten Canada, Great Canadian Rebates (GCR), TopCashback, Swagbucks, the Aeroplan eStore, WestJet eStore, CAA Rewards, and Blue Rewards (formerly AIR MILES Shops) — alongside credit-card referral sources such as creditcardGenius, FinlyWealth, and Frugal Flyer.
• How often we refresh: Our automated collectors re-check every tracked store across every portal on a daily schedule. Each store page shows an “updated” date reflecting the most recent time we confirmed its rates, and rates that disappear from a portal are removed rather than left to go stale.
• How we match stores: The same retailer is often listed under slightly different names across portals (for example “Apple” vs “Apple Canada”). We normalize and merge these into a single store page so you can compare every portal’s rate for one retailer side by side.
• Normalizing points vs. percentages: Some programs pay a percentage of your purchase, others pay points or miles per dollar. We display each in its native unit and clearly label the type, rather than inventing an artificial conversion that could mislead you.
• How we pick the “best rate”: The highlighted best rate is determined purely by the mathematical value of the return for that retailer — never by which portal we happen to earn a referral commission from.
• Editorial independence: We earn referral commissions when you click through to some portals, but that relationship never changes the rates we show or the order we rank them. Every available option for a store is shown so you can decide for yourself.

Why You Can Trust Our Data

We are an independent Canadian comparison tool, not a cashback portal ourselves — we don’t hold your account or pay out your cashback, which means we have no incentive to favour one program over another. Because rates change frequently and special terms (category caps, exclusions, in-store vs. online differences) vary by retailer, we always recommend confirming the current rate and terms on the destination portal before you shop. If you ever spot a rate on our site that looks wrong or out of date, please let us know— reader reports help us keep the data honest.
