Hello @ccoastsilk,

Welcome to the Community. I can help you record cash rewards in QuickBooks Online.

2. Select Chart of accounts under Your Company.
3. Press the New option.
4. Choose Other Income below Account Type. 
5. Under Detail Type, choose Other Miscellaneous Income. 
6. Enter the necessary information.
7. Hit Save and Close.

Once done, you can proceed with recording the cash rewards. Please follow these steps:

1. At the top, click the Create menu (+) and select Credit Card Credit.
2. You can leave the payee field blank.
3. Select your checking account.
4. Go to the Account details section.
