Yes, you must earn $20 cash back in your account or for a given pay period, prior to receiving a cash payment. Cash credits from sign-up, referrals and purchases all count towards the minimum.

What happens if I return or cancel an order?

Returns are subject to the return policy of the store from where you purchased. If you return or cancel and item, we will reverse any discount from that sale. Returns (and exchanges) make the purchase cash back ineligible. In the process of an exchange, the store will typically cancel the old order and place a new one. When this is done, BargainBetty.com's commission gets reversed and a new commission is not established since the store placed the order directly. Because of this, the stores will not pay BargainBetty.com a commission, and we cannot pass on a cash back discount to you.
