1Install

Add BUCKS to Chrome in 30 seconds.

No account required to install. No credit card. No setup screens.

📦
Download from the Chrome Web Store (or install manually from our /install guide).
📌
Pin the BUCKS icon to your Chrome toolbar so the popup is always one click away.
✅
The extension is immediately active on Amazon.com — nothing else to configure.
💡

BUCKS requests exactly one browser permission: access to https://*.amazon.com. You can audit this in Chrome's Extensions page at any time.

2Shop

Shop on Amazon exactly as you always have.

No codes, no coupons, no clicking through special links. Just visit Amazon.com.

🛒
Browse products, read reviews, and add items to your cart as normal.
🔄
When you land on an eligible product page, BUCKS automatically appends an affiliate tag to the URL.
💳
Check out through Amazon's standard checkout. You pay the exact same price as any other shopper — always.
💡

Affiliate tags never change the price you see or pay. They are a signal to Amazon that you arrived via an affiliate, which is what generates the commission.

3Activate

Cashback activates automatically.

You don't need to do anything. BUCKS runs in the background on every visit.

🔍
BUCKS monitors every Amazon.com page load and detects product and order pages.
🏷️
Eligible pages have the affiliate tag appended to the URL automatically — no pop-ups, no confirmations.
📊
The popup badge updates to show "Cashback Active" with the estimated rate for the current product category.
💡

Not every Amazon visit generates a commission — only confirmed purchases through an affiliate-tagged URL count. Returns and cancelled orders are excluded.

4Track

Watch earnings move through the Reward Rail.

Your dashboard shows every purchase at every stage, from first estimate to final payout.

💛
Estimated — we show a cashback estimate immediately based on the product category rate.
🔵
Pending — Amazon has reported the click but the return window is still open (typically 60–90 days).
🟢
Available — the return window closed and Amazon confirmed the commission. Ready to request payout.
✅
Paid — the payout was processed and funds sent to your PayPal.
💡

Cashback amounts change between Estimated and Available because Amazon's confirmed rate may differ slightly from the published rate schedule we use for estimates.

5Get paid

Request a payout when you're ready.

Once your Available balance reaches $5.00, you can withdraw at any time.

💸
Go to your BUCKS dashboard and click "Request Payout". Enter the PayPal email address you want paid to.
⏱️
Payouts are processed within 1–3 business days. We send a confirmation email when funds are dispatched.
🔄
Your balance resets to zero after each successful payout. New commissions continue to accumulate from your next Amazon visit.
💡

There are no fees on payouts. The $5.00 minimum exists because PayPal charges flat fees on small transfers that would eat into the cashback amount.

Questions

Common questions about the process.

Do I need to click anything before each Amazon purchase?
No. BUCKS runs automatically every time you visit an eligible Amazon product page. You never need to activate it, click a button, or remember to turn it on before shopping.
Why is my cashback "estimated" at first?
Amazon takes 60–90 days to confirm commissions (to allow for returns). Until then, we show an estimate based on the category rate. The confirmed amount may be slightly different.
What happens if I return something?
Returns cancel the associated commission. If the commission was already in your Available balance, it will be reversed. We will notify you if this happens and update your balance accordingly.
Does BUCKS work if I'm already an Amazon Prime member?
Yes. Prime membership does not affect how affiliate commissions work. You still get your Prime benefits (free shipping, Prime pricing) and BUCKS still earns the affiliate commission on eligible purchases.
Can I use BUCKS alongside other cashback extensions?
We recommend not running multiple affiliate/cashback extensions simultaneously, as they may conflict over which affiliate tag to apply. Only one affiliate commission can be attributed per purchase.
When does the $5.00 minimum payout apply?
The minimum applies to your Available balance at the time you request a payout — not to individual purchases. Once your cumulative Available balance hits $5.00, you can request a payout for the full amount.
