The rate depends on how much you used
The more traffic you use in a month, the higher the percentage you get back.
The whole month falls into one band. You are not paid a different rate on different portions of your usage.
Cashback starts at 1 GB. A month in which you used less than that earns nothing.
Worked examples
When it arrives
Cashback for the previous month is credited on the 3rd of each month. Traffic you use in March is credited on 3 April.Where your cashback appears
There are two places to see it. The Bonus traffic button at the top of the dashboard, next to Traffic left, opens a panel showing your current bonus balance, the six tiers, and how much you are on track to earn this month. Expected cashback is a live projection based on the traffic you have used so far, so it moves up as your usage crosses each band. The Get FREE traffic page in the left navigation shows the same balance alongside your referral bonuses, plus the full Bonus History table.Bonus traffic never expires. It sits in your bonus balance until you use it, however long that takes.
