CashBack+ Pay: Your Winter Break MVP

Published: December 14, 2025

Winter break is finally here—aka the season of fuzzy socks, snow angels, and answering the classic question from relatives: “So…what’s your major again?” While you’re on winter break, the last thing you want is for your wallet to be as drained as your energy after finals week. 

But here’s the good news wrapped in a shiny bow: you don’t have to let a tight budget freeze your fun this winter. Thanks to CashBack+ Pay, you can earn money just for doing what you already find fun—excursions, eating out, and finding any reason to get out of the house. 

With a little creativity, your best pals, and the magic of CashBack+ Pay, your winter break can be merry and money-smart!

Trade in Streams for the Big Screen

Let’s be honest: winter is peak movie season, Wicked: For Good, Zootopia 2, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. And sure, streaming on your laptop under a blanket fort is a vibe, but nothing beats reclining seats, surround sound, and a bucket of popcorn big enough for two! 

Grab your crew (and CashBack+ Pay) and head to: 

AMC Theatres
 

Regal Cinemas

With CashBack+ Pay, you can earn up to 20% when you book movie tickets or grab a few emotional support snacks on your way into the theater. Those cashback savings can stack up faster than you can say “large popcorn, please,” and by the time school rolls back around, you may just have enough saved for a whole other movie night!

Score Big This Winter!

Every college student hits that moment in winter break when staying in just won’t cut it. That’s your cue to round up your friends and hit a place where the only goal is to have fun (and maybe win some bragging rights). 

Level up your break with CashBack+ Pay by visiting places like: 

Dave & Buster’s—where arcade domination awaits.
 

Topgolf—because everybody loves a little “athleticism.”
 

Build-A-Bear—yes, adults can and should build an emotional support stuffed animal.

CashBack+ Pay helps you earn rewards just for getting out of the house and doing something fun. Plus, winning a round of air hockey feels even better when you’ve secretly earned cashback for the trip. 

Comfort Food on a College Budget

The holidays are an annual excuse to eat good food with good people. Whether you’re grabbing dinner with your hometown friends or treating yourself after surviving finals, comfort food always hits harder this time of year. 

And thanks to CashBack+ Pay, each bite works in your favor at spots like: 

Chili’s—chips and salsa really heal the soul.
 

Red Robin—bottomless fries...need we say more?
 

Texas Roadhouse—the rolls deserve their own fan club.

You go out to eat anyway, so why not earn while you do it? By the end of winter break, CashBack+ Pay may have earned you enough rewards to cover your next round of fries (which, honestly, is the dream). 

Time to Turn Winter Break Into a Win-Win

CashBack+ Pay isn’t about spending more; it’s about earning while you do what you already love. Movies, dining, shopping, even a little friendly competition, it can all add up to serious rewards. 

So grab your friends, your favorite scarf, and your CashBack+ Pay perks, and make winter break memorable—minus the chilly price tag.
