Earning cashback through standard purchases on your Fluz account is treated as a rebate, not income. Due to this, Fluz does not issue a 1099 for cashback.
Why cashback is generally not treated as income
In most purchase-based rewards programs, cashback is tied to a transaction, and is treated as a discount on that purchase, not as separate taxable income. In practical terms, that means the cashback lowers the effective cost of your spending instead of creating a new income event.
