About Kona
The cashback platform built for the modern shopper.
What is Kona?
Kona is a cashback rewards platform that gives you money back on every online purchase from over 1,600 partner merchants. We partner with the world's biggest retailers — from Nike and Amazon to Sephora and Booking.com — to offer cashback rates of up to 10% or more on qualifying purchases.
What makes us different? Kona is the first cashback platform that lets you withdraw your earnings as USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin — directly to your Coinbase, MetaMask, or any crypto wallet. Of course, if you prefer traditional methods, we also offer PayPal, Venmo, direct bank transfer, and gift cards with bonus value.
Our mission
We believe your cashback should be as flexible as the way you spend. Whether you're a crypto enthusiast who wants earnings in USDC, a Venmo user who prefers instant transfers, or a savvy shopper who maximizes value through gift card bonuses — Kona gives you the choice.
Our mission is to make every online purchase more rewarding, while giving our members the freedom to choose exactly how they want to get paid.
How we make money
Transparency matters to us. Here's how our business works: when you shop through Kona, our retail partners pay us a commission for sending them a customer. We share the majority of that commission with you as cashback. That's it — no hidden fees, no selling your data, no catches.
You shop, the retailer pays us, we pay you. Everyone wins.
Why crypto payouts?
Traditional cashback platforms force you to wait days for a PayPal transfer or weeks for a mailed check. With USDC payouts on the Base network, your cashback arrives in your wallet in under a minute — and Kona covers all gas fees, so you receive exactly what you withdraw.
USDC is a regulated, dollar-pegged stablecoin, meaning 1 USDC always equals $1. It's not a volatile cryptocurrency — it's a digital dollar. We chose USDC because it combines the speed and flexibility of crypto with the stability and familiarity of the US dollar.
