What Does “Got a Rebate” Mean
Glossary
“Got a rebate” means an affiliate or media buyer received part of their ad spend or traffic cost back — usually as a bonus or cashback from a partner network or ad platform.
What a rebate is:
— A percentage of your spend returned after meeting certain conditions
— Often depends on traffic volume, quality, or partnership terms
— Typically paid out weekly or monthly
How it works:
You spent $1000 on ads. With a 10% rebate, you get $100 back.
Why it matters:
— Lowers your effective costs
— Improves profitability
— Encourages loyalty and scaling
Example:
— How’s your offer going?
— Decent. Got a 7% rebate, so at least part of the budget came back.
