 What is Yub.com? [ back to top ]

Yub is an online mall where people meet, hang, and get up to 25.00% back for shopping.
# of products in the mall: 5,921,625
- Like a real mall, you can shop, hang out with friends, meet others, and people watch.
- Unlike a real mall, we personalize your shopping and pay you for it.

 Why use Yub? [ back to top ]
First of all, people use Yub because it's fun. All users can meet others who have interesting ideas, pictures, tastes and experiences to share. The site has a strict 18+ policy and a member-base who are some of the coolest, smartest, and funniest people you can meet- we love them and you'll probably find being a Yub member opens up new worlds.

Secondly, there are the cash-backs rewards. We believe that friends, colleagues, and people who will share insight into their broad range of tastes and hobbies can give you the better and more honest product recommendations that any salesman or advertiser (or anonymous reviewer). We also know from experience that there are groups of online shopping sites out there who are reputable, honest and offer their customers the best possible value. By bringing access to the catalogs of all these merchants under one Yub roof while also securing you the best possible cash-back rewards when you shop through Yub, we aim to provide the best possible value to our Yub members.

In short, we try to make online shopping social and give you the best deals.

In all the cases above, when the person buying (buyer) buys thru a profile of another person (the recommender) or reports a recommender in our post-shopping survey, the recommender receives Yub Points too. We call Yub Points acquired in this manner, Expert Points or EP, and the more EP you earn for a category of goods, the more we'll showcase the recommender in areas related to those product categories, which means the opportunity to earn even more EP and eventually become the expert for that category!

How can we do this?

Yub earns commissions from our partners when you shop. Then, depending on how much we can afford based on your membership level, we give it back to you.

How do I earn from shopping? What are Yub Points? [ back to top ]

Yub.com gives you cash back in the form of Yub Points when you shop at our partners by visiting our qualified cash back links. Yub Points are rewarded after the product ships and the retailer contacts Yub to let us know this. This usually occurs within 48 hours of the ship date. Yub Points can be redeemed for cash after more than 1000 points have been received ($10) and after all the products that these points are awarded for pass the retailers return window without being returned.

 Am I buying products From Yub? [ back to top ]
No. Yub is the place to visit before you buy; it is the place where you can find the best products, read a broad base of reviews about those products, do research on the price at different retailers, and discover what Yub cash-back rewards gets for you. When you are ready to buy, Yub links you directly to the right place in that store. The products cost exactly the same when you buy them as they would if you had gone directly to that retailer- but we give you cash-back rewards when you shop through Yub. We get commissions from the sale, but we give all we can spare back to you. If you want to earn the cash-back rewards, be sure to visit Yub first, log-in and then follow one of the Yub links to the online store at which you wish to shop. Yub only knows to reward you if you follow one of our Buy buttons to the retailer.

 How do I get my cash-back rewards? [ back to top ]
You accumulate rewards when you shop through Yub as a logged in, registered member of the site, with cookies enabled. In addition, Yub MUST be the last site you visit before visiting the site you want to shop at and you must visit that retailer's website using a link on Yub.com. After you shop, the retailer reports the qualifying sales to us on an hourly or daily basis and we automatically add your earned Yub Points to your account. It can take anywhere from 6 hours to 30 days for eligible rewards to show up in your profile- it usually take between 30 and 90 days for each reward to be verified in full so we can pay you- this window is so that members who return products are not paid rewards.

When you have accrued enough verified rewards, you can redeem it very easily- we will either send you a check or you can automatically transfer the cash rewards into a PayPal account.

 How does Yub select stores for the Yub Mall? [ back to top ]
We listen to our users. We don't want every online store under the sun to be in the Yub Mall; instead, we look for stores who offer great products and who can exceed their customers' expectations. We're always trying to discover great new stores that we think our members will want to know about, and to improve the products offered through the Yub Mall.

If you want to suggest a store you shop at (or one you work at), please let us know.

If you can't find your question, or you need more information, email us and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks for your input!
