    Download Dosh and Create an Account

    ~17s
    Search "Dosh" in the App Store or Google Play and install the app. Open it and create an account using your email address or log in with Facebook. You will set a password and verify your email. Once your account is confirmed, you are ready to link a card.
    2

    Link Your Debit or Credit Card

    ~29s
    Tap "Link a card" and enter your card number, expiration date, and security code. You can link multiple cards — for example, your everyday debit card and a credit card you use for larger purchases. Dosh works with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover cards. After linking, Dosh will monitor purchases on that card for matches with its partner offers.

    Warning

    Only link cards you use for regular purchases. Dosh cannot read your account balance, access other transactions, or move money — it can only detect qualifying purchases at partner merchants.

    Browse Partner Offers

    ~29s
    Tap "Offers" in the app to see which hotels, restaurants, and retailers are currently offering cashback. You do not need to activate individual offers — just pay with your linked card at any of these places and the cashback is applied automatically. Note that offers change periodically, so it is worth browsing the list before trips or big shopping days.

    Quick Tip

    Quick Tip: Dosh often has elevated hotel cashback offers — if you are planning a trip, check the Hotels tab in Dosh before booking to see if your hotel is a partner.

    Check Your Cashback Wallet

    ~18s
    After making a qualifying purchase, cashback typically appears in your Dosh wallet within three to five days after the transaction posts to your card. Open the app and tap "Wallet" to see your current balance and a list of recent cashback credits. Each entry shows the partner name, the amount spent, and the cashback earned.
    5

    Cash Out to Your Bank, PayPal, or Venmo

    ~19s
    To withdraw your cashback, tap "Cash out" in the Wallet section. You need a minimum balance (usually $25) to transfer. Choose your preferred destination — bank account (via ACH transfer), PayPal, or Venmo — and confirm. Bank transfers typically take two to three business days to arrive. PayPal and Venmo transfers may be faster.

    Dosh is a cashback app that works automatically in the background. Once you link your debit or credit card to the Dosh app, you earn cashback whenever you make a purchase at a participating store, restaurant, or hotel — with no receipt scanning, no coupon codes, and no extra steps required. The cashback is added to your Dosh wallet and you can transfer it to your bank account, PayPal, or Venmo when you are ready.

    Dosh partners with hundreds of well-known businesses including national hotel chains, restaurant groups, and online retailers. The cashback percentage varies by partner and changes over time. You can browse the current list of Dosh partners inside the app.

    The automatic nature of Dosh is its biggest appeal. After the initial setup — linking a card — you do not have to remember to open the app before a purchase or check whether an offer applies. If you pay with a linked card at a Dosh partner location, the cashback is credited automatically, usually within a few days of the transaction posting.

    Privacy is a common concern when linking a bank card to a third-party app. Dosh uses bank-level 256-bit encryption for all stored card data and does not store your full card number. The app works by matching your transactions (the store name and amount) against its partner list — it does not have access to your full financial account or any other transactions.

    Dosh is free to download and has no subscription fees. It is available for iPhone and Android.
