FAQ

Here are answers to common questions we receive regarding our FlyerFunds credit card and bank account rebate program.

• I’ve been approved for my credit card or bank account application. When will I be paid my FlyerFunds?

  You will be sent payment soon after your application is tracked and confirmed on our affiliate dashboard. This can take up to 12 weeks.

• What payment method do you use to send FlyerFunds?

  We send payment using PayPal, which will allow you to withdraw the money straight to your bank account. If you don't have a PayPal account at the time of payment, you will be prompted to create one.

• I was approved for a FlyerFunds offer. Can you confirm that I will be getting my FlyerFunds cash back?

  If you have followed the appropriate steps listed below and on this page, you should receive your cash back within 12 weeks. If after this time you have not received your FlyerFunds, you can submit a ‘Missing Funds’ form on the individual application page. Please do not submit before this.
  Step 1. Apply for the Offer by completing the form including your First Name, Last Name, Username (email) and PayPal email address. Upon submitting you will redirected to the bank’s website.
  Step 2. Complete and submit your application for credit card or bank account on the institution’s secure website.
  Step 3. Verify your email address. You will receive an email from us confirming your email and also prompting you to login and view the status of your FlyerFunds application. At this time you can enter whether you were approved for the product and the corresponding reference number provided by the institution.
  Step 4. Receive your FlyerFunds. If your credit card or bank account application is completed and approved, Frugal Flyer will email you within 12 weeks a confirmation and a transfer will be completed via PayPal.

• I used a different link than yours to complete the application. Can I still get FlyerFunds?

  No. You must use our special unique link to be eligible. You cannot double dip on cashback from multiple cashback sites.

• How does Frugal Flyer make money from this offer?

  Frugal Flyer is paid an affiliate commission from the issuer of the product. We pass on a portion of this commission to you. This is the same model as other cashback/rebate websites like Rakuten.ca, GreatCanadianRebates, and so on.

• Why should I use Frugal Flyer and not other cashback websites?

  There are several reasons why you should consider using Frugal Flyer for your credit card and bank account applications, including:
  - Frugal Flyer aims to consistently provide the most competitive offers on credit card and bank account rebates. You can confirm this by using our Rebate Comparison Tool.
  - Frugal Flyer provides payout of rebates on a rolling basis, not a quarterly basis like some other rebate sites like GreatCanadianRebates or Rakuten.ca.
  - Frugal Flyer is the only rebate site that specializes in travel hacking and credit card rewards content. By using FlyerFunds you are supporting us to create more quality content to help you save money on travel.
