A cashback reward program is an incentive program operated by credit card companies where a percentage of the amount spent is paid back to the card holder.

In marketing, a coupon is a ticket or document that can be redeemed for a financial discount or rebate when purchasing a product.

A rebate is an amount paid by way of reduction, return, or refund on what has already been paid or contributed.

It is a type of sales promotion that marketers use primarily as incentives or supplements to product sales.

The mail-in rebate (MIR) is the most common.

A MIR entitles the buyer to mail in a coupon, receipt, and barcode in order to receive a cheque for a particular amount, depending on the particular product, time, and often place of purchase.

Rebates are offered by either the retailer or the manufacturer of the chosen product.

Large stores often work in conjunction with manufacturers, usually requiring two or even three separate rebates for each item.

Manufacturer rebates are sometimes valid only at a single store.

Rebate forms and special receipts are sometimes printed by the cash register at time of purchase on a separate receipt or available online for download.

In some cases, the rebate may be available immediately, in which case it is referred to as an instant rebate.

Some rebate programs offer several payout options to consumers, including a paper cheque, a prepaid card that can be spent immediately without a trip to the bank, or even PayPal payout.
