Why Instant Cashback Changes the Game

Most cashback platforms make you wait weeks, sometimes months—for a payout.

Basket is different. When we say cashback, we mean right now.

You’ll see the money land in your account as soon as you buy a card. You can use it to save even more or cash out when you hit £10.

And when a brand is offering extra cashback, we make it easy to spot. Just look for the pink button, that means the rate has been boosted.

What Can You Do With Your Cashback?

Once you reach £10 cashback, you can:
‍

• Withdraw it to your bank account, or
  
  
• Spend it on another gift card and earn cashback again — we call this the double bubble
  
  

It’s a smarter cycle of spending and saving that puts you in control.
