Most shopping loyalty programmes are designed to disappoint you — tiny points, short expiry windows, complicated redemption rules. Shoppingflo's YOLO Coins are different. Here’s exactly how they work, how much you can earn, and why they never expire.
What are YOLO Coins?
YOLO Coins are Shoppingflo’s unique reward currency that gives you cashback on every order you place. Unlike traditional loyalty points that often come with confusing rules and expiration dates, YOLO Coins offer a straightforward way to earn value back from your purchases. Each coin represents a small amount of cashback that accumulates as you shop, making it easy to track and redeem.
YOLO Coins are designed to be simple and rewarding. You earn approximately 5% cashback on every order, which means for every $100 you spend, you get about $5 back in YOLO Coins. These coins can be saved up and used on future purchases, giving you more flexibility and control over your rewards.
How Do You Earn YOLO Coins?
Earning YOLO Coins is automatic and tied directly to your shopping activity on Shoppingflo. The more you shop, the more coins you collect. Here’s a clear breakdown of the earning rates:
| Purchase Amount (USD) | YOLO Coins Earned | Approximate Cashback Rate |
|----------------------|-------------------|---------------------------|
| $0 - $50 | 2.5% | $1.25 per $50 spent |
| $51 - $100 | 5% | $2.50 per $50 spent |
| $101 and above | 5% | $5.00 per $100 spent |
For example, if you spend $80 on a single order, you will earn 5% back in YOLO Coins, which equals $4. These coins are added to your account immediately after your purchase is confirmed.
How to Redeem YOLO Coins
Redeeming YOLO Coins is just as simple as earning them. When you check out on ShoppingFlo, you can apply your accumulated YOLO Coins to reduce the total cost of your order. Here’s how it works:
At checkout, select the option to use YOLO Coins.
Choose how many coins you want to apply (you can use all or part of your balance).
The equivalent cashback value will be deducted from your order total.
There are no minimum redemption amounts or complicated rules. You can use your coins whenever you want, making it easy to save on everyday purchases or larger buys.
Do YOLO Coins Expire?
One of the biggest frustrations with loyalty programmes is the expiry of points. YOLO Coins never expire. This means you can accumulate your coins over time without worrying about losing them. Whether you shop frequently or occasionally, your coins remain safe and ready to use whenever you want.
This no-expiry policy encourages you to shop at your own pace and redeem coins when it suits you best, adding real value to your shopping experience.

How to Stack Coins with Group Deals
Shoppingflo offers group deals that let you combine your purchases with friends or family to unlock even bigger savings and earn more YOLO Coins. When you participate in group deals, your YOLO Coins earnings increase because the platform rewards collective buying power.
For example, if a group deal offers 10% cashback on a product, you earn your standard YOLO Coins plus an additional bonus from the group deal. This stacking effect means you can maximize your rewards by shopping together.

YOLO Coins vs Other Cashback Apps
Many cashback apps promise rewards but fall short in delivery. Here’s why YOLO Coins stand out:
No Expiry: Unlike many apps where points expire after months, YOLO Coins stay valid indefinitely.
Simple Redemption: No confusing tiers or minimums; use your coins anytime.
Consistent Cashback Rate: Around 5% on every order, which is higher than many competitors.
Stacking Opportunities: Combine coins with group deals for extra savings.
Transparent System: You see exactly how many coins you earn per purchase.
These features make YOLO Coins a more user-friendly and rewarding option compared to other cashback platforms.
Bonus Coin Opportunities
ShoppingFlo occasionally offers bonus YOLO Coins through special promotions, seasonal sales, or by shopping with select creators on the platform. For example:
Creator Storefront Bonuses: Earn extra coins when you shop from featured creators. Learn more in the Creator storefront guide.
Limited-Time Events: Participate in flash sales or holiday events to earn double or triple YOLO Coins.
Referral Rewards: Invite friends to ShoppingFlo and earn bonus coins when they make their first purchase.
Keep an eye on ShoppingFlo’s announcements to take advantage of these bonus opportunities and boost your coin balance faster.
