How zero-cut works
Most cashback sites keep 30–50% of what merchants pay them. We keep none of it.

Questions
What is a commission, and why does the merchant pay it?
Merchants pay a referral fee to whoever sends them a new customer. For phone plans, insurance and subscriptions it's often $100+ per signup. On this deal it's $150.
Do other cashback sites really keep part of it?
Yes. Most keep 30–50% of the commission and only show you what's left, so you never see the full amount. Knewd shows the whole number and keeps $0.
Why no browser extension or app?
Because you shouldn't have to hand over your browsing history or put up with pop-ups to get paid. Knewd adds a SubID to a regular merchant link and gets out of your way, on desktop or phone.
Why only one deal?
Endless deal lists are mostly noise. We pick one offer worth your time and put everything into it.
Why do you keep 0%?
We feature one offer at a time and are paid a flat placement fee by the merchant, separately from the commission. So the per-sale commission can go entirely to you.
What is a SubID?
A unique code attached to your click, like 3K9QX1-NWM150-LZ8A2-4F1C9E. The affiliate network sends it back to us when you buy, which is how we know the sale was yours.
How long until I'm paid?
Merchants hold commissions for 30–60 days to cover cancellations. Once confirmed, we pay out within 7 days.
Why might tracking fail?
Ad blockers, private browsing, or switching devices can drop the SubID. Disable blockers and finish the purchase in the same browser.
What if it's rejected?
Usually because of a cancellation or an existing account. You'll see the status in your dashboard and can contact us to investigate.
