About Kona

Kona is a cashback rewards platform that gives you money back on purchases at 50 partner stores, including Surfshark, NordVPN and E-file.com. Rates vary by store and are shown on each store's page.

We're also building payouts around how people actually want to get paid: USDC, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, sent straight to your Coinbase, MetaMask or any crypto wallet, alongside PayPal, Venmo, bank transfer and gift cards. Withdrawals aren't open yet. Cash back you earn now is tracked and kept in your account until they are.

We believe your cashback should be as flexible as the way you spend. Whether you want your earnings in USDC, in Venmo, or as a gift card, Kona is built to give you that choice once payouts launch.

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.

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 pass a share of that commission to you as cashback. That's it — no hidden fees, no selling your data, no catches.

You shop, the retailer pays us, and we pass your share on to you. (Withdrawals open soon; until then your cash back is tracked in your account.)

Traditional cashback platforms make you wait days for a PayPal transfer or weeks for a mailed check. We're building USDC payouts on the Base network so your cashback can reach your wallet in about a minute, with Kona covering the gas fees. USDC payouts aren't live yet.

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.
