They literally have the worst offers ever. They have no idea how to do business! Don't waste your time. And if you will you wont be able to thank me later (;

Just use Ebates or TopCashBack

RETAIL ME NOT IS TRASH
November 29, 2018

I RECENTLY SIGNED UP FOR THIS APP/COMPANY AND USED IT I BELIEVE TWICE, ONCE FOR GIFT CARD MALL AND ONCE FOR AMAZON. TODAY, ON A DAY I NEED THIS TRASH THE LEAST, I RECEIVE AN EMAIL STATING I WAS IN VIOLATION OF THEIR TERMS. IT DOESN'T SAY HOW, IT'S VERY GENERIC AND THEY STATE THEY ARE SUSPENDING MY ACCOUNT AND I'M NO LONGER TO PARTICIPATE. THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS USING IT TOWARD GIFT CARD MALL AND GIFT CARD MALL TAKING IT UPON THEMSELVES TO CANCEL MY ORDER. IF THAT'S HOW YOU'RE GOING TO TREAT CUSTOMERS, THEN SO BE IT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER WAYS TO SCORE DEALS AND WHAT NOT. YOU CAN USE EBATES, SHOPKICK, DROP... ALL WAYS TO SAVE. I'M NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON TO COMMIT FRAUD OR CHEAT AND I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING ACCUSED OF SUCH A THING.

Save lots of money here!
January 30, 2016

I ALWAYS go to this website before purchasing something online or ordering food through places like Pizza Hut. They usually have some type of coupon code that you can use for shopping online, but some of them are invalid. However, that's not the site's fault! Users can enter codes into the site themselves, and some enter invalid codes just for the sake of doing it, one-time use codes so they get credit for someone using it, or referral codes so that they can make money off of them. All you have to do is down-vote the code if it isn't working and it'll be taken off the site! It's not that big of a deal, and it only takes a few minutes to check a few codes to see if they're working so that you can save some money!

As for codes that you can use in-store, be sure that you have the right information before taking the coupon in! I once went to B&BW with a RetailMeNot coupon pulled up on my phone, but they refused to honor it and I ended up paying full-price for the items I bought. However, when I called B&BW customer service, they were nice enough to give me free credit to use online totalling the price of the coupon.

Not going to use again
September 17, 2019

I am not going to use their site anymore. Many coupons that shows "verified", are actually not verified because most of them are not valid. This is just a waste of time.

Hello Jordan! We're so sorry to hear that you had troubles using offers that were posted on our site. Many of the offers that are displayed on the site are submitted to us by users and community members. While this allows us to receive a lot of great content to share with our customers, this can mean that sometimes a coupon is submitted to us without the expiration date or restriction details as an example. If you come across an offer that you are having trouble using, please contact us at support@retailmenot.com and we would be happy to help with that offer!

The Nike coupons on this website may be fraudulent -- they did not accept them when we tried to use them (and, to make it worse, we had a TERRIBLE experience with the Nike employee in Utah when we tried to use them - he was so HORRIBLE and treated us badly when we tried to use what we thought was a legit deal).

In response to RMN's comments
May 27, 2019
Updated review

No, that was not the reason. Maybe those are the limits now, but not when my review was written. I've used all the cash back sites for years and know how to use them. I went over the rules with your support. When pinned down they simply told me it must be my cookies aren't enabled and it was on my end. I showed them many other sites during that time period where I had no issue, only with your site. How did any offers at RMN get activated ever then? Even with purchase confirmations your staff refused to manually adjust the offers that were activated and not past the store/monthly limit. I'm also not the only person commenting on this same problem with your cash back site. I will say I have used it a couple times since the first review (therefore the two stars upgrade) when absolutely no other cash back offers were available on other sites and I have been paid, but only about half the time. Better than it was. Still, if you're factoring the cb into your purchase price, don't utilize this site. It's payout rate ratio for offers is not impressive.

Hi Linda, While we do have limits on the number of rewards per merchant and rewards per month. It seems that you might be running into other issues preventing you from earning cash back correctly. I would love the opportunity to review your cash back activations along with the purchase information that you did not get credit for. If you would kindly send us an email at customercare@retailmenot.com, so that I might look into this further.


I'm going to quit using them

Previous review

When I first started using them they honored their cashback offers. Lately there seems to be a problem with every purchase I make although you can very clearly see that I activated the cash back promo. I've supplied them with order confirmations verifying my orders. I absolutely do not have cookies blocked, in fact they're enabled specifically. No problem "activating" the cash back, but boy there's a problem "receiving" the cash back. When purchasing I factored in the price expecting to get the cash back. I've gotten the bogus "you've done too many offers" when one offer out of five eligible went through but more were activated so I should have been eligible for four more. The not enough days when more than enough time has passed according to their deadlines. Send us the confirmations, did that. Then the we have manually applied it. No, they didn't. I'm done with them now. I'm guessing my recent cashback percentage about 5% honored. Goodbye.

I bought a macaroni grill gift card last year. The same day I went to use it and got to the restaurant and they were closed down, no other one even within a few hours of me. So I ended up giving the gift card to a family member across country because they have a macaroni grill in their town. She went to use it and it had NO MONEY on it, it had a $0.00 balance! Retailmenot emails me back stating it was used the day I bought it last year and again the day my aunt tried to use it, but it had NO funds on it. There's NO WAY AT ALL THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN USED LAST YEAR THE SAME DAY I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE THE COMPANY IS NO LONGER NEAR MY CITY AT ALL! This company steals your money and are thief's! I should have read reviews before purchasing, but the company will be hearing from my attorney soon! Anyone else have this same problem we need to all come together and go after this company for stealing money from us!

Hello Kristin! We are sorry you had an issue with your gift card purchase. We do have review team that does research any card that is reported to have an issue. Please be aware we do have a 100 day guarantee on all of our cards, meaning you have 100 days to report any and all issue you may have experienced with this card.

I've always liked RetailMeNot, but I have constructive feedback for the company and I hope this is actually taken into consideration.

The cash back system is majorly flawed and needs to be updated. Whenever I use it (quite frequently), I feel like it's always a gamble for whether or not the cash back will actually come through. More times than not, it doesn't come through. It will tell you that you need to wait a REALLY long time (like 45 days) to see if the retailer let RetailMeNot know that you made a purchase and that you need to check back then. I online shop pretty much daily... who the heck is going to remember to check back a month and a half later on every single purchase? This is bad user experience.

We shouldn't have to keep track of every single purchase we made to ensure RetailMeNot did their job.

They need to optimize the system so the user can clearly keep track of every purchase that was made immediately after it happened like how Ebates (now Rakuten) does. This would be VERY helpful!

Thank you.

Hello Jessica! We are sorry to hear about your experience. I understand having to remember purchase information for 45 days can be frustrating. Unfortunately, we are unable to edit or add purchase information into our system prior to this processing time passing. We are always looking for ways to improve the customer experience and truly appreciate your feedback. Again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused, and encourage you to reach out to Customer Care if you have any questions on how to use our offers. We would love to provide some recommendations to ensure you are receiving these rewards automatically!

One of the better coupon sites around - like that I can find coupons on even some of the smaller, more obscure mountain biking and outdoor sites. Usually one of the first places I check for coupons.

Hi Julie, we're sorry to hear that you were not able to access the Venmo option when choosing to redeem your rewards. We did experience a temporary outage with Venmo earlier this month however, that has now been resolved. Also, if you are using an older version of our mobile app, that option will not be visible to you so we do recommend downloading the newer version of our app or visiting your RetailMeNot profile through your mobile browser so that the option is visible to you. If you have any other questions, please contact us either at https://help.retailmenot.com/s/ or directly at support@retailmenot.com.
