Why do offers have different reward rates?

Learn how rewards are set in Forage.

Reward rates can vary from offer-to-offer in Forage. This is normal and expected, and the rate you see depends on how and where you shop.

How reward rates are set

The default reward rate in Forage is 1% back, but rates can be higher for a few reasons:

• Temporary boosts. From time to time, special promotions can increase reward rates.

• Checkout options. Some checkout options offer higher rates.

  • For example, Receiptless checkout options usually pay more because Forage earns a small processing fee from the store and shares part of that with you.

• Store-funded rewards. Some stores choose to fund extra rewards themselves to encourage shopping or promote specific offers.

You'll always see the reward rate before you shop, so you can choose the option that works best for you.

Still have questions?

If a reward rate ever looks unexpected or confusing, check the offer details in the app. You can also contact Forage Support from the app and we’ll be happy to explain how it works.
