Spring is here, and so are some of the best cashback rates of the year. Through March 31, 2026, Kudos has elevated cashback rates at top travel, shopping, and lifestyle merchants as part of its monthly promotional boost. These rates stack directly on top of your existing credit card rewards, so there's no trade-off. Just more money back on purchases you were already planning to make.
Here's exactly where to shop in March to maximize your cashback.
What Is Kudos Cashback?
Kudos is a free browser extension and mobile app that helps you earn more on every purchase. When you shop at any of 15,000+ partner merchants, Kudos adds a cashback layer on top of whatever your credit card already earns. Every month, select merchants offer elevated promotional rates. March's lineup is one of our strongest yet.
Kudos Premium members unlock additional features including unlimited AI bill negotiation, credit card offer auto-activation, advanced benefits tracking, and more.

Kudos AI sits on hold, navigates the transfers, and handles the entire negotiation for you. Tikue Anazodo, our CEO, saved $840/year on his T-Mobile bill without touching his phone. See how it works →

Stack Even More: Auto-Activate Your Card Offers 💳
Promotional cashback rates are just the first layer of savings. Your credit cards are loaded with card-linked offers (CLOs) that most cardholders never use because they're buried across separate issuer portals and require manual activation before they expire.
Kudos handles this automatically. With the Kudos extension installed, visit your issuer portal and Kudos detects and activates all available offers across your cards — no manual clicking required. When you shop online, Kudos then surfaces your active offers at checkout and recommends the card that gets you the most back.
The result: promotional cashback + card-linked offers + your card's base rewards — all stacked on a single purchase.
Kudos Premium members get unlimited auto-activation across all cards.
