Akamai Basics cashback becomes payable after the retailer confirms the order and any return, cancellation, or verification period has passed. The exact timeline depends on the cashback portal and the retailer’s confirmation process.

**Can I use a coupon code and still earn Akamai Basics cashback?**
You may be able to use a coupon code and earn Akamai Basics cashback, but only if the code is listed or approved by the cashback portal. Unapproved codes, promotional vouchers, or codes from another website may cancel or reduce your cashback.
