JamDoughnut is a cashback app with a difference. A difference that can make a big impact on your bank balance.

Cashback sites are familiar to lots of us now, in fact so much so there’s an almost overwhelming amount to choose from. They all do what they say on the tin. They reward users with cash for doing their shopping or paying for services via the cashback site or app (often by using a referral link). But, usually we have to wait days or weeks (sometimes even months), to get our rewards.

With JamDoughnut you get your cash instantly – literally as soon as you confirm your purchase.
