Reviewers frequently describe the customer service team as top-notch, with many successfully earning significant cashback over time.

NOT HONORABLE! DO NOT TRUST

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.

Thank you for your feedback. Cash back approval does take 45 days from the date of your purchase. However, once the rewards are approved they are immediately available to be redeemed via Paypal or Venmo.

Cash back rewards are intended to work automatically. We do see 99% of purchases reported back to us and the rewards correctly issued. Unfortunately, when we do not receive your information automatically from our merchant partners we may need to ask for your order information to make sure that we issue the correct rewards.

We would be happy to look into any issue you've experienced. Please reach out to our customer care team via the link below.

I received an email from Retail Me Not…

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.

We do intermittently review our user base. As we see more history and data, your account could potentially be reinstated. Please keep in mind you may continue to take advantage of any coupon codes and/or sales offered on RetailMeNot, and we hope you consider doing so.

None of the Discount Codes Actually Work

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.

Thanks for your review CK. Happy to help and maybe explain a bit how RetailMeNot works and how the offers get listed.

We do everything we can to validate all content that comes in to make sure we have as many coupons available as possible so that we can help you save money when you shop, but sometimes user submit offers to us without expiration or much detail.

Cash back

This review is for the % cash back offers. I have found that about 50% of the time, I have to contact their customer service to receive the cash back. At that time, you need to provide proof that you actually made a purchase so keep your email confirmations. Also, they usually blame me for not following their link (which I always make sure to do) or the company for not notifying them of the purchase. They also make you wait 45 days before they will do anything. I guess they are counting on many people not remembering after 6 weeks especially since it's just a few bucks.

The retailmenot extension always finds me more discounts than manually scavenging through coupon codes. I am quite impressed by their coupon codes and cash back! I don’t know why people are posting negative reviews for invalid coupon codes...that’s going to happen! Done coupon codes will work, some won’t because they’re either expired or user-submitted. People also need to realize that some websites don’t really have coupons so you’ll be less likely to find coupons for then even with the extension. I’ve only had positive experiences with the extension. Keep those coupons coming!

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!!!!

Hi there, thank you for your feedback! With H&R Block, they set the prices of their products on their site. With store retailers, they might be able to offer a lower price based on their agreements as they are selling their products to consumers as a third party. We apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused with purchasing the H&R Block product on their site but if you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at support@retailmenot.com.

complete fraud!

They initially kept their promise and gave cash back for ~80% of the offer activated. But lately (last 2-3 months), they completely stopped processing any activated offer. I contacted their customer service, but they said 45 days are needed to process a cash back, but in reality more than 90 days have passed and never got cash back for any purchase. Turned out to be a complete fraud!

RetailMeNot displaying NON Existent Offers

RetailMeNot displayed a promotion for $50 off at HotTubWorks. When I contacted the company, they new nothing about it. RMN should back up any offers they display on their site. Wont use it anymore because who knows if the offers are legit or not. BAD business practice, trading credibility for traffic. Need to contact FTC. re false advertising...

How many other fake ads are on the site I wonder.

Hi Jock, we're sorry to hear about this experience that you had with using an offer for Hot Tub Works that you found on RetailMeNot. At this time, we do not have a direct partnership with Hot Tub Works so the codes on our site have all been user submitted. When we receive user content, the code or offer may be valid at the time of submission however, there are often no expiration dates with those offers. That does not allow for the invalid offers to come down when necessary. We will have our moderation team review this page and remove that invalid content. If you have any other question or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly at support@retailmenot.com.

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.

I installed the extension today and was SUPER excited as I often use Chewy.com and have more than one pet so I always end up spending SO MUCH MONEY THERE. I ALWAYS LOOK UP CODES TO use as I am always on the hunt to save money and I noticed that on the Retailmenot website, there was several very good coupons for Chewy.I did not hesitate to get the extension and login in all just to COMPLETELY WASTE MY TIME. This is exactly like HONEY who also claims they find all the codes and apply them. I have never gotten neither to apply the codes right so I am getting ready to delete both of these pieces of PURE GRADE A CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**In response to the thieves- yet again a typical generic BS response as I clearly did not use my actual name for them to know who I am! They don't even respond to BBB complaints that speaks volumes! Disgusting! Steer real clear of these frauds!!!

RetailMeNot seems like a scam (REVISED)

AFter writing this review below, CS team finally resolved the issue, it was glitches in their software. Several months ago, CS team was so slow in responding and not helpful...something changed, and responses truly were within 24hrs, and they were very helpful. I upgraded my review from 1 star to 4 stars accordingly. The system still has glitches though, for example, I bought a bunch of stuff at Lowes, and one item was defective, I went into store and exchanged it for a new one. RetailMeNot showed the entire order was returned, and therefore would not give me my credits. They said I had to give them all receipts for review. but who can go through all this for $10? So beware, there will prob. always be some gltiches like this, but if the compnay continues on this path, hopefully it will be succuessful.... CS means everything when things go wrong.

RetailMeNot seems like a scam
I followed the rules perfeclty. I based my purchase decision on the cash back they offered... waited the 45 days, and NEVER got ANY of the cash back on the 3 purchases I tested the service on. Customer service takes forever to email you back, and so far, they cant resolve anything, despite them saying they could...
