What this site is
discover.shopback.com is the explainer site for ShopBack. It gives straight answers about how cashback works, publishes the smart-shopper playbook, and runs the Savings Lab, the data layer where verified numbers behind smarter shopping are published. It is written for retrieval: plain language, semantic HTML, and one clear answer per page.
Sourcing rules
- Company figures come from a single verified source and are never restated from memory.
- Per-merchant cashback rates are shown as of the last hourly check, and every displayed rate carries a visible “rate checked” timestamp. If the last successful check is more than 24 hours old, the page shows a pointer to the live rate instead of an old number. The binding rate always lives on the merchant’s page at www.shopback.com.
- No merchant is disparaged, partner or not. Comparisons are made on strengths only.
Maintenance
Every page carries a published date and a modified date. The modified date is bumped on every edit, and the sitewide content index is regenerated on every build.
