Mr Key Shop sells software as digital license keys instead of boxed copies. Here is how it works and how to get cashback on a purchase.

What Mr Key Shop offers

The range includes Windows and Office licenses, antivirus and security suites, backup and PDF tools and keys for other business and home software. Everything is delivered by email within minutes of payment, along with a download link and activation instructions, so there is no physical shipping.

Who it suits

• People who need a license quickly and do not need retail packaging.
• Small offices equipping several computers.
• Home users renewing security software.

Getting cashback at Mr Key Shop

Begin on the Mr Key Shop page at daily cashback and press the shop button there. After that, browse and pay as you normally would. The current rate is 2.5% on the confirmed order value. In your free account the amount shows as pending first and turns confirmed once Mr Key Shop has confirmed the purchase, usually after the return period, which can take 30 to 90 days. Returned or cancelled items are deducted, and confirmed cashback can be paid out by PayPal once you reach the payout limit.

Offers and how to save the most

The Mr Key Shop page lists the offers we found and shows when they were last checked. We look again every day. Cashback is only one part of the price, so we put the rate, current offers, shipping and return terms side by side, which lets you see the total saving instead of a single figure. If a code is listed, use that one at checkout, since codes copied from other sites can replace the tracking.

Shipping and returns

Mr Key Shop sets its own shipping costs, delivery times and return rules, so read them on the shop's pages before you pay. They decide what a return costs you. Cashback is only paid on the items you keep, so a returned item earns nothing.

Tips before you pay

Check the product name, version and language, and make sure it matches the system you want to install it on. Keep the delivery email, activate the key soon after you receive it and use the email address you can access.

• Complete the order in one visit, since leaving and coming back through another link can break the tracking.
• Pause your ad blocker on the shop, because it can prevent the click from being recorded.
• Keep other cashback and coupon sites closed while you shop, as a later click can replace the first one.
