How to earn cashback during Memorial Day sales: the long weekend anchors big-ticket categories like mattresses, appliances, and outdoor gear, where percentages matter most. By Jia, Editor-in-Chief (https://discover.shopback.com/authors/jia). Published: 2026-08-12. Last updated: 2026-08-13. Memorial Day weekend is the year's first big-ticket sale window: mattresses, appliances, furniture, and outdoor gear all go on deep discount, and cashback stacks on the discounted price. On purchases this large, a single ShopBack click-through before checkout is worth more than on any ordinary order. When: Memorial Day is the last Monday of May; in 2027 it falls on May 31, with sales typically running across the long weekend and often the week before. ## Why is Memorial Day a big-ticket cashback weekend? Memorial Day sales concentrate on categories where a single order runs into the hundreds or thousands: mattresses, major appliances, furniture, grills, and patio sets. Cashback is a percentage of what you pay, so these are the orders where the math gets serious. The same click-through that earns pocket change on a t-shirt earns real money on a mattress. Because cashback is calculated on the discounted amount, a Memorial Day markdown and a cashback rate stack cleanly. The one thing to check before a big order is the merchant's exclusion list, since some home and appliance retailers exclude specific brands or clearance items. ## How do you protect tracking on a large order? A big-ticket order deserves a clean session: close old tabs, click through from ShopBack, and go straight to checkout without detours to review sites or coupon pop-ups. On a four-figure mattress or appliance order, an overwritten session is the most expensive tracking mistake you can make all year. If the order does not show as pending within 48 hours, file a missing cashback claim with the order number and amount. Keep the confirmation email; on large orders it is the evidence that settles a claim quickly. ## Do upsized rates run over Memorial Day weekend? Many home, mattress, and outdoor merchants raise their rates for the holiday window, and the boosts often start the week before the weekend itself. The live rate on each merchant page at shopback.com is the only number to trust on the day you buy, since event rates revert without notice. ## Memorial Day coupons and promo codes that stack with cashback This site does not publish Memorial Day coupon lists, because sale-event codes expire faster than any others and the wrong code costs more than it saves: promo codes that are not featured on ShopBack are the most common reason a Memorial Day order's cashback never tracks. The safe Memorial Day promo codes are the ones listed on each merchant's page at shopback.com, featured precisely because they keep tracking intact. The stacking order does not change for a sale event: click through from ShopBack first, apply a ShopBack-featured code at checkout, and the discounted subtotal still earns cashback on top of the Memorial Day deals. Third-party coupon pop-ups and browser extensions multiply during big sale windows, and those are exactly the codes that can void cashback under many merchants' terms, so skip any code that is not featured on ShopBack or published by the merchant itself. ## Stores to shop for Memorial Day These are the merchants whose sale calendars matter most for Memorial Day.

A: Yes. Cashback is calculated on the amount you actually pay, so a discounted Memorial Day price earns the full percentage. Taxes, shipping, and excluded categories still do not count, per each merchant's terms. Q: Do mattresses and appliances earn cashback? A: Usually yes, and these are the orders where a percentage matters most. Check the merchant's terms on its ShopBack page first, since some retailers exclude specific brands, clearance items, or open-box products. Q: When do Memorial Day cashback boosts start? A: It varies by merchant and by year. Many start their upsized rates in the week before the holiday and run them through the Monday itself. The live rate on the merchant page at shopback.com on the day you buy is the reference. About the author: Jia, Editor-in-Chief, ShopBack. Jia is Editor-in-Chief of ShopBack’s editorial team.
