You can see your cash back earned on the dashboard of the RBC Launch app, and it will be identified as either “pending”, “confirmed” or “paid”. Select the cash back tile to take a look at your full earnings dashboard.

Pending cash back refers to cash back earned that is subject to a holding period based on the merchant's return policy. If you return your purchase, for example, you won’t receive the cash back. Once the holding period ends, your cash back will be confirmed and deposited to your eligible RBC Royal Bank account by the 10th business day of the following month.

Your confirmed cash back on an eligible purchase will be automatically deposited into your RBC Royal Bank Canadian dollar personal deposit account by the 10th business day of the month following the expiry of the holding period for that transaction, which is based on the merchant’s return policy and when the merchant funds the offer.

Yes, you can. The coupon will lower your purchase price at the time of checkout and the cash back will be earned on this lower purchase price.

Note: If you check if the coupons apply to your purchase, we will automatically activate the cash back offer as well if you haven't done so already.

Simply download the latest version of the RBC Launch app, follow the onboarding steps, and use Safari on your mobile iOS device to visit your favourite brand's website. You’ll get an alert if there’s an offer available at that store.

Make sure you have iOS 15 and the latest version of the RBC Launch app installed. You also need to have an RBC Royal Bank Canadian dollar personal deposit account to use this feature and we are currently only testing it with our RBC credit card clients..

If a cash back offer is available at a particular retailer, you’ll get an alert at the bottom of your screen as you’re shopping within the Safari browser on your device. The offer is only available at the time it is presented to you. Simply click it to activate and if you make an eligible purchase, the cash back will be deposited into your eligible RBC Royal Bank account by the 10th business day of the month following the expiry of the holding period, which is based on the merchant’s return policy and when the merchant funds the offer.

Coupons is a new feature in the Cash Back Deals safari extension that will notify you, when you are browsing a participating merchant’s website using the Safari browser on your device, if there are coupons available for that website. If coupons are available, you can check if the coupons apply to the items you are purchasing on the checkout screen. If so, we will test the coupons and apply the coupon with the greatest discount for you at the time of check out.

If you are browsing in the safari browser, we have a new feature called alternative merchant alerts that will notify you if there are offers available at other merchants with similar products and/or services, if the merchant website you are on does not have an offer available.

If you no longer want to receive the alert for a specific merchant website, you can disable it at the bottom of the alert and you will no longer receive the alternative merchant alert at this website again.
