cashback
A system in which customers receive back part of the amount paid after a purchase. This refund is often offered by banks, credit card companies, or retailers to strengthen customer loyalty.
Bei meiner neuen Kreditkarte bekomme ich 1 % Cashback auf alle Einkäufe.
With my new credit card, I get 1% cashback on all purchases.
This word is an Anglicism and is made up directly of the English words "cash" (Bargeld) and "back" (zurück). So it literally describes getting money back.
Das Wort Cashback bedeutet wörtlich „Bargeld zurück“.
The word cashback literally means "cash back."
When you want to express what you receive a refund for, you use the preposition "auf" (on) followed by the accusative.
Du erhältst 5 % Cashback auf alle Hotelbuchungen.
You receive 5% cashback on all hotel bookings.
"Cashback" (cashback) is often combined with the verbs "bekommen" (to get), "erhalten" (to receive), or "sammeln" (to collect).
Mit dieser App kann man bei jedem Einkauf Cashback sammeln.

bonus
'der Bonus' and 'das Cashback' can both describe a financial benefit when shopping. 'Bonus' is broader: it can be an extra, a benefit, points, or also an additional payment. 'Cashback' is more precise: you pay first and then get part of the money back. The words can be confused because both seem like a benefit for customers. If it is really about getting money back after a purchase, 'Cashback' is more precise. 'Bonus' fits when the extra is not necessarily a refund.
Das Cashback wird nach dem Online-Kauf automatisch auf mein Konto überwiesen.
The cashback is automatically transferred to my account after the online purchase.
Als Bonus bekommt man beim Kauf eine kostenlose Tasche dazu.
As a bonus, you get a free bag with the purchase.
