RetailMeNotReviews of community.retailmenot.com

Every single time I ever attempt to use ANY code from their site, it ALWAYS comes back with a sorry invalid code response. I can try every code for just 1 site and they all say the same thing even though they list x number of uses today. The site is a scam and it should be shut down or at the very least be hijacked with a massive virus to wreck their servers. They serve absolutely no purpose to anyone for anything other than cookie tracking.

I have used Rakuten (was Ebates) for years with great success. They credit my account nearly immediately and send quarterly checks without fail. I cannot say this about Retailmenot. I have received zero cash back. Like other reviewers, Retailmenot has stated that the vendor did not approve my purchase and that I would have to submit receipts and proof of purchase. Who has time to do this? What a fraud. Do yourself a favor and use Rakuten. And, no, I am not affiliated with them in any way. But I abhor companies like this who abuse consumers trust and clearly have no intention of paying out what they promise. UPDATE: Retailmenot just replied to my review that their service works 99% of the time. However, of all of the many shopping trips I opened (approximately 10-20 before I gave up and stopped using their site), literally 0% paid any cash back. So I'm not sure where they get their numbers. I'm guessing they pull them out of thin air or some other less mentionable location...

Get lots of emails from them. Ignore all my attempts to contact them.

ONE STAR TOO MANY! Not an honorable company. You have to wait 45 or more days before you get your cashback. If you wait the 45 days before you contact them, I hope you kept ALL emails from the company to want to get cashback from. You have to keep all the emails until you get your cashback. That can be 45 days or more. If you have to write in for your refund, you have to attach the confirmation email from the company you did business with, even if you use *their* confirmation email which has all the same information. If you send them their email you still have to send the confirmations. Their site acknowledges that you made a purchase through one of their sponsored merchants, but you still have to fight for the cashback. I have had problems with a few different purchases, written in with proofs and they promised that they would manually add my cashback. I trusted them to keep their word and got rid of all the backup. Only to find out later, no added cashback. I have lost probably less than $10 cashback, but I can use that. Please!! Do not trust them. I cannot speak for other cashback companies, but I know that this one in not honorable. 11/20/2020 update I would like to change my review of RetailMeNot but cannot. I got a reply from them stating things that were already on their site. “It’s not our fault. It’s theirs. Or yours. Or anyone else’s but ours.” I have already canceled my account with them, first making sure that I got my cashback due me. If other cashback companies can give you cashback in less than 45 days without the hassle, I still can’t understand why they have such a problem. Has anyone else read all the reviews? More negative than positive. As one reviewer stated – GO TO RAKUTEN. There are no problems with them.

I havent got a single deal that works but yet it says theres 100s of people who used it today. Stop capping those numbers are fake and i think the whole thing is fake too

I received an email from Retail Me Not saying my rebate account has been red flagged. When I contacted them I was given a generic answer of there was suspicious activity on my account. I was very concerned that my account had been hacked because I hadn’t used the rebate account in over 2 years. I sent all the info to customer service that was asked of me and was told again my account was suspended and I would no longer be able to qualify for rebates. I continued to ask why and was never given an answer and now they have ignored my emails.

What a waste of a site. I have for a few years been referring to this site while shopping online to see if there are any available coupons. They have coupons for all sorts of sites/retailers, large and small, but I have only ONCE found a code that actually works here. I also dislike that every time a visitor clicks on the button to See or Copy a code, the site is programmed to open the retailers site in a new tab (I'm assuming pay-per-clicks or affiliate marketing is to blame for this behavior), while also reloading the page and popping up a modal/box where visitors must click a Copy button, again. Garbage site set up simply for selling ads and tracking visitors. Don't let them waste your time. You'd do better just setting up a garbage email account to sign up for a discount code directly from a retailers site.

Will not let me collect my cashback! So they got paid for my clicks, but they won’t give me the money that I earned. They keep telling me to put in a valid phone number and then get the text validated and it still will not let me move on to collect my money that I’ve earned. I will be contacting the attorney general right away!!!!
