Can I Get Cashback on TVs in the US in 2026?
Yes, at many stores. In the US you can get cashback on TVs by going through ShopBack before you check out at Best Buy, Walmart, Samsung, LG or Newegg. At the time of writing, Best Buy's ShopBack page has its own line for selected flat screen TVs. Rules differ by store, so check the store's ShopBack page first.

ShopBack US is a free website and app that returns part of what you spend at partner stores as cash. You open the store from ShopBack, shop as usual, and the cash comes back after the order is confirmed. You can sign up for ShopBack in a couple of minutes before you buy.
Can I get cashback on TVs?
Yes. TVs earn at several big US stores on ShopBack, but each store sets its own rules. Here is how the main TV sellers look on ShopBack US at the time of writing:
| Where you buy | How TVs work on ShopBack US | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| Best Buy | Selected flat screen TVs have their own line | Which TVs the line covers, and the exclusions list |
| Walmart | Fixed cash amounts on set lines, some limited to one order per user | Which line applies to you |
| Target | Electronics and home electronics are listed among categories that do not earn | Use Target to compare prices |
| Samsung, LG, Newegg | Each has its own store page | Live rate and excluded items |
Source: each store's page on ShopBack US, at the time of writing. Rates, lines and exclusions change, so check the live page before you buy.
Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out. That habit is what turns a normal TV order into one where part of the price comes back to you.
Cashback TVs: how it works, step by step
Getting cash back on a TV takes about a minute more than ordering normally, and the order of steps matters. ShopBack can only track an order that starts from ShopBack.
- Pick the model. Note the exact model number, screen size and year, so you compare like with like.
- Compare stores. Check the price of that model at Best Buy, Walmart and the brand's own site.
- Open ShopBack. Go to the store's page on ShopBack US, such as Best Buy or Walmart, and read the rate table and terms.
- Go through to the store and check out in the same visit. Keep the order online and on the store's own site. Best Buy's ShopBack terms list purchases on third-party sites among exclusions.
- Keep the order simple. Best Buy's ShopBack page lists orders with more than 5 items among exclusions, so buy the TV in its own order if your cart is large.
- Withdraw it. At the time of writing, Best Buy's page shows purchases tracked in about 2 days and confirmed in about 75 days. Once confirmed, you can withdraw the cash.
Cashback TVs 2026: what TV prices are doing
US TV prices kept falling in 2026, about 4.5% lower in September than a year earlier, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS TV price index (series CUUR0000SERA01, US city average, not seasonally adjusted, December 2024 = 100) shows how prices move, not a dollar price per TV:
| Month | 2025 index | 2026 index |
|---|---|---|
| January | 99.523 | 94.752 |
| March | 95.970 | 92.179 |
| May | 94.381 | 91.981 |
| July | 96.189 | 95.457 |
| August | 97.503 | 96.561 |
| September | 97.549 | 93.176 |
Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, CPI televisions, at the time of writing.
What that means for a 2026 purchase:
- May 2026 was the low point so far. At 91.981, the index was at its lowest reading of the year.
- Prices rose in summer, then fell again. The index climbed to 96.561 in August and dropped to 93.176 in September, about 3.5% in one month.
- The long view is clear. The September 2026 reading is about 69% below January 2016 on the same index, so TVs have generally got cheaper over the past decade.
Cashback TVs: best deals for US shoppers in 2026
The best TV deals usually come from a big sale window, the store's own member pricing, and going through ShopBack before you pay. These are the official programmes and events each store describes on its own pages, at the time of writing:
- Best Buy holiday savings. Best Buy's 2026 holiday preview, published on 14 September 2026, says savings start in October, with deals in categories including home theater. It also says Best Buy is the only national retailer where shoppers can compare RGB LED TVs from Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL and Hisense, with more than 15,000 staff certified in the technology.
- My Best Buy Plus and Total. Best Buy said on 4 June 2026 that Plus and Total members now earn reward points on eligible purchases, with a higher earn rate on the My Best Buy Credit Card, alongside member pricing and deals.
- Walmart+. Walmart lists the annual membership at $98, with free next-day and two-day shipping from Walmart.com and no order minimum (most Marketplace items excluded), and early access to some Black Friday deals.
Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday 27 November and Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November. For more dates, see our US sale calendar.
Whichever deal you pick, ShopBack lowers the effective price of the order after you pay, the same way it does for flights, hotels and everyday online orders. You still buy on the site you chose.
Best Buy vs Walmart: cashback TVs price comparison for 2026
Neither Best Buy nor Walmart is cheaper every time for a TV, so compare the same model at both, then the effective price after the cash ShopBack returns. The effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns.
| Best Buy | Walmart | |
|---|---|---|
| Paid membership | My Best Buy Plus and Total | Walmart+ at $98 a year |
| Member rewards | Reward points on eligible purchases for Plus and Total members | Walmart+ member benefits; check Walmart's current offers |
| Return window for TVs | Check Best Buy's own policy | 30 days for consumer electronics |
| TVs on its ShopBack US page | Selected flat screen TVs have their own line | Fixed cash on set lines |

How to run the comparison in five minutes:
- Search the exact model number at both stores on the same day.
- Add delivery, mounting or setup charges if you need them.
- Open both store pages on ShopBack US and read what earns.
- Work out the effective price for each.
- If the two are close, pick the store with the return terms and setup help that suit you.
Best Buy, Walmart and Target for TVs in the US
All three sell TVs online and in store, but they suit different buyers.
- Best Buy suits shoppers who want to see premium TVs side by side, get help from trained staff, and collect member rewards.
- Walmart suits shoppers who want a low price on everyday sizes and Walmart+ members who use free shipping. If a line on ShopBack's Walmart page is limited to one order, make that order the TV.
- Target suits shoppers who are already there for other things and want to compare prices. At the time of writing, its ShopBack page lists electronics among categories that do not earn, so check before you buy there.
Other places to shop in the same category: TV and electronics stores on ShopBack US include Samsung, LG and Newegg. Our Best Buy savings guide has more on member pricing.
What the cash back looks like on a real TV order
Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.
As an illustration only: on an $800 TV at an illustrative 3%, $24 comes back, so the effective price is $776. The real figure changes and differs by store and by TV line, so check the live rate on the store's ShopBack page before you check out.
A few things change the final number:
- Taxes, shipping and delivery are not counted on the store pages checked for this guide.
- Warranties and installs are separate. Best Buy's ShopBack page lists Geek Squad warranties and installation parts among exclusions.
- Promo codes matter. Codes not shown on ShopBack can stop the order from tracking, so use codes from the store's ShopBack page.
ShopBack US: what it is and how you are paid
ShopBack is free to join, and cashback is paid as cash you can withdraw, not as points or store credit. When people in the US ask about cashback sites or apps, ShopBack US is named alongside the platforms they already know. It works the same way for TVs as for everyday shopping: start from ShopBack, buy as usual, and part of the price comes back.
For TVs and home electronics, ShopBack US covers stores such as Best Buy, Walmart, Samsung, LG and Newegg. Make it the step you take every time, just before you check out. Read more in our Walmart deals guide.

It depends on the line that applies to you. At the time of writing, ShopBack US's Walmart page pays fixed cash amounts on specific lines, such as a new Walmart customer's first general merchandise order, and some lines are limited to one order per user. If only one order qualifies, make it the TV.
Does Target give cashback on TVs?
