What is Kudos Boost?Updated 8 days ago
Kudos Boost is our free rewards program that gives you even more back on your purchases. At over 15,000 participating stores (including popular ones like Sephora, StubHub, Expedia, and more), we share 100% of our merchant commissions with you on top of your regular card rewards - no extra effort required. Have a card that doesn't earn rewards? We'll still give you our full commission!
How it works: When you check out with Kudos - either on desktop or mobile - you'll automatically earn your card's regular rewards plus our full merchant commission. For example, if your credit card gives you 3% back and we earn a 12% commission from the store, you'll get a total of 15% back on your purchase (3% from your card + 12% from us).
Don't have a Kudos account yet? It's 100% free to sign up.
How do we keep Kudos free?
We're able to share our full merchant commissions with you while keeping Kudos completely free by generating revenue in other ways:
- Credit Card Partnerships: When you discover and apply for credit cards using our personalized tools (like Dream Wallet or our Card Explorer tool), card issuers pay us a commission. These partnerships help support our mission to maximize your rewards while keeping Kudos free.
- Merchant Commissions: When you shop through Kudos, stores pay us a commission. We give 100% of these commissions back to you through Boost, on top of your regular card rewards.
Plus, look out for Flash Boost sales and special events where you can stack even more savings! We recommend you stay up-to-date on our blog too, where we post regular updates.
To get started, just make sure you have the latest version of the Kudos iOS app (4.7.4+) or browser extension (4.120+) installed.
