Which Mother's Day gifts earn cashback?
The core gifting categories all earn: flower and gift delivery, beauty and fragrance, jewelry, fashion, and home. Because the holiday is concentrated into one weekend, flower and gift-delivery merchants often run their strongest rates of the spring in the days before it.
Cashback follows the account that clicked through from ShopBack, not the recipient, so a gift shipped straight to mom still earns you the percentage. Gift cards remain the exception: they do not earn at almost any merchant.
How do you time the order?
Order in the week before, not the day before. Standard delivery keeps fees down, and delivery fees typically sit outside the cashback calculation anyway, so rush shipping is money spent on the non-earning part of the bill.
Rates at gifting merchants move in the run-up to the day. A quick check of the live rate on the merchant page at <a href="https://www.shopback.com?utm_source=discover">shopback.com</a> before ordering catches an upsized week; the boost reverts once the holiday passes.
Mother's Day coupons and promo codes that stack with cashback
This site does not publish Mother's 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 Mother's Day order's cashback never tracks. The safe Mother's Day promo codes are the ones listed on each merchant's page at <a href="https://www.shopback.com?utm_source=discover">shopback.com</a>, 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 Mother's 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.

Mother's Day cashback FAQ
Do Mother's Day flowers earn cashback?
Yes. Flower and gift-delivery orders started with a ShopBack click-through earn on the qualifying product subtotal. Delivery and service fees usually do not count toward the calculation.
Does a gift shipped to someone else still earn me cashback?
Yes. Cashback follows the account that clicked through from ShopBack, not the delivery address, so gifts shipped directly to the recipient earn like any other order.
Are cashback rates higher before Mother's Day?
Often, at gifting merchants: flowers, beauty, and jewelry retailers frequently upsize in the week before. The live rate on the merchant page at shopback.com on the day you order is the number to trust.
