More on Cash Back
Cash Back is a new business model in the ecommerce industry, wherein both the product seller and buyer are benefited by using a common platform to make purchases. BonusBay and other cash back portals constitute this platform.
Assume you are going to purchase a new pair of shoes from Amazon; you can directly visit their website and make the purchase along with the discounts and offers which are currently offered there.
Another option is to visit a cash portal like BonusBay.in, and then visit Amazon via their platform to make the purchase. Not only you will receive all the benefits of purchasing the product (discounts offered by Amazon); you will also receive a portion of the paid money back, in the form of cash back. This percentage depends on the purchase, and usually ranges from 1% to 10% of the total transaction value.
How Will Be The Cash Reimbursed?
Unlike other cash back services which converts your reimbursed cash into points and then ask you to shop again from their website, BonusBay gives you hard cash in return, directly to your bank account.
As of now, there exists a threshold of Rs 1000 for the bank transfer – as soon as the accumulated cash backs crosses Rs 1000, you can claim that back.
From Where Does The Money Come From?
Acquiring a new customer is one of the biggest problems which ecommerce portals face on a daily basis. Spending on paid marketing will cost them a fortune, besides consuming much of their resources and bandwidth.
In order to simplify the process of acquisition, ecommerce players are more than happy to tie up with such cash back companies, and ensure steady inflow of customers in lieu of the cash back which they are offering to the end user.
In their Business FAQ section, they have explained the reasoning in an effective way and answers the question: Why should ecommerce firms join their platform?
Why BonusBay?
Although there are several such cash back portals active in India right now, BonusBay stands out in the following departments:
- Clean, neat design and user interface. The sign-up process is simple, and fast.
- Categorization of services is clearly visible, even in the first visit. With only two options to select: Brands or Portals, the decision time taken by a user is less, and he finds himself engrossed with product selection in no time.

Yes , It looks like a sponsored post . the way the article is presented in which they have posted facebook fan page count , it is sponsored !
See the last line of the post. It is clearly mentioned that it is a sponsored post…so where is the question!
These cashback sites are kidding.
1. Either there are high threshold minimum to payout. Bonus bay needs Rs. 1000/- OR
2. More cashback rejects. Sites like cashkaro.com
3. Customers need to wait months to get. If a dispute is raised, add 2 more months. It may be minimum 2-4 months of time.
The article is CERTAINLY not reviewed in a neutral manner. It is indeed presented in a “Sponsored/Paid” way. These cashback sites don’t work on just some referral bonus that get from shopping websites. But also on advertisements on their sites. So irrespective of customer gets cashback or not, the sites will always get their share of money either in the form of clicks or advertisements.
