You can earn cashback on Klarna App purchases, but the reward is not guaranteed — whether you actually receive it depends on the store's approval, your browser cookie settings, and other factors Klarna says it cannot control.
Your Klarna cashback reward can be withheld if merchant cookies are blocked, if you combine offers, or if the store simply doesn't approve it — and cashback funds are locked inside Klarna's ecosystem and cannot be transferred out.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The conditional nature of cashback issuance implicates FTC Act Section 5 (15 U.S.C. §45) prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices, particularly FTC guidance on misleading reward program advertising (FTC Dot Com Disclosures, 2013). The closed-loop nature of Klarna Balance (funds usable only within Klarna) may implicate state unclaimed property/escheatment laws. If cashback is characterized as a financial incentive tied to transaction data sharing, CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.125) financial incentive disclosure requirements may apply to California residents.
