KNOW YOUR CASHBACK RATES LIKE A PRO

First, stop guessing which stores give the best cashback. 5898 Verdadeiro BR partners with hundreds of retailers, but the rates vary wildly—and some are temporary. Right now, during the holidays, many stores boost their cashback percentages to attract shoppers. For example, electronics stores like Fast Shop or Americanas might offer 5-8% cashback instead of the usual 2-3%. Fashion retailers like Renner or Zattini could jump to 10% for a limited time. Even supermarkets like Pão de Açúcar sometimes double their rates on gift cards or holiday essentials.

Here’s how to find the best rates:

1. Open the 5898 app and tap “Stores” at the bottom.

2. Use the search bar to type in the store you’re considering (e.g., “Magazine Luiza”).

3. Check the cashback percentage next to the store name. If it’s higher than usual, it’s likely a holiday promotion.

4. Bookmark the “Promotions” tab in the app—this is where 5898 lists limited-time cashback boosts.

Pro tip: Sort stores by “Highest Cashback” to see the best deals at a glance. Don’t assume the first store you see is the best option.

STACK CASHBACK WITH OTHER DISCOUNTS (THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS)

Cashback alone is good. Cashback plus coupons, sales, or loyalty points? That’s how you maximize savings. Many people don’t realize 5898 Verdadeiro BR lets you combine cashback with other discounts—you just need to know how to layer them.

Step 1: Start with a sale.

Before you even think about cashback, look for stores running holiday sales. For example, if you’re buying a TV at Casas Bahia, check if they’re offering a 20% discount on Black Friday. That’s your first layer of savings.

Step 2: Apply a coupon.

After finding a sale, search for coupons. Sites like Cuponomia or Promobit often have codes for free shipping, extra discounts, or gift cards. For example, a “FRETEGRATIS” coupon could save you R$20 on shipping, and 5898 will still give you cashback on the total after the coupon.

Step 3: Pay with a cashback credit card.

If you have a card like Nubank, Inter, or Santander Free, use it to pay. These cards often give 1-2% cashback on top of what you’re already earning from 5898. Just make sure the store accepts your card—some cashback cards have restrictions.

Step 4: Click through 5898.

This is the most critical step. Always access the store through the 5898 app or website before making your purchase. If you go directly to the store’s site, you won’t earn cashback. Tap the store’s logo in the app, and it’ll redirect you—now your purchase is tracked.

Example: You’re buying a R$1,000 smartphone at Americanas.

– Sale price: R$800 (20% off)

– Coupon: R$50 off with “PRIMEIRACOMPRA”

– Payment: Nubank card (1% cashback = R$7.50)

– 5898 cashback: 6% of R$750 = R$45

Total savings: R$250 + R$7.50 + R$45 = R$302.50

That’s 30% back on your purchase—without doing anything extra.

USE THE “CASHBACK BOOSTS” BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR

5898 Verdadeiro BR often runs “cashback boosts” during the holidays—short-term increases to cashback rates for specific categories or stores. These can double or even triple your earnings, but they expire fast. For example, last year, 5898 offered 15% cashback at Netshoes for 48 hours. People who missed it were stuck with the usual 5%.

How to catch these boosts:

1. Turn on app notifications. Go to “Settings” > “Notifications” and enable “Promotions.” This way, you’ll get an alert when a boost goes live.

2. Check the “Promotions” tab daily. Boosts usually last 24-72 hours, so you need to act fast.

3. Follow 5898 on Instagram or Twitter. They often tease upcoming boosts a day or two before they start.

4. Plan your shopping around
