Cashback Not Honored and No Real Customer Support
I’ve been a RetailMeNot user for years, but this experience completely changed my opinion of the service. I made a purchase after activating a cashback offer and followed the process as intended. The cashback was never credited, and when I reached out for support, I was told there was no record of activation. From that point on, it was nothing but copy-and-paste responses. No real investigation, no effort to review the transaction in good faith, just repeated scripted replies about tracking and eligibility. Even after escalating the issue through a BBB complaint, I received the same generic responses with no willingness to take accountability or offer a reasonable resolution. They claim manual payouts are possible, yet refuse to apply any discretion when their own system fails to track properly. I have never had this issue with other cashback services, which makes this even more frustrating. If the tracking fails, the customer is left with no support and no recourse. I’ve lost trust in this platform and will be using other cashback services going forward. If you’re expecting reliable cashback and actual customer service, I would strongly reconsider using RetailMeNot.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced with your missing cash back, and we understand how disappointing it is when a transaction doesn't credit as expected. Please know that our team did conduct a full investigation into your purchase, but unfortunately, no record of an offer activation was detected in our system. Because we are bound by strict tracking requirements from our retail partners, we cannot manually honor a payout without validation. We previously reached out to request a copy of the activation confirmation you received when clicking the offer to help us bypass this tracking issue. If you can locate that receipt or screenshot and forward it to us through your open support ticket, we will gladly review your case again to find a resolution for you.
