Nominate Someone You Care About
Some months aren’t just about winning — they’re about giving.
In the Ruutos Cashback Giveaway 2026, every second month (February, April, June, August, October, and December), if you are selected as the winner, you won’t keep the cashback prize for yourself…
Instead, you get the beautiful opportunity to nominate someone else to receive it.
It could be:
- A friend who’s always supported you
- A mom who puts everyone else first
- A hairstylist or assistant trying to make ends meet
- A student, a daughter, a neighbour, or someone who simply deserves a little love
All you need to do is send us their name, contact details, and banking details, and we’ll make sure the prize reaches them safely.
This is more than a competition — it’s a chance to honour someone, uplift someone, and make their month unforgettable.
Win it. Share it. Gift it.
Because at Ruutos, generosity is always in style.
Nomination Months:
- Every second month—February, April, June, August, October, December—the winner must nominate any individual (with full name, contact, and bank details) to receive the cashback.
- In non-nomination months, the winner receives the prize directly.
