If you want cash back on purchases, do not use RetailMeNot.com! I made numerous purchases using the links on this website, and received emails that the retailers verified my purchases and I would receive cash back in 2 months. I went to the website today and all of my pending cash back was marked $0. When I tried to access a cash back offer, I received an error message stating my account was flagged with suspicious activity that violated the site's terms. It is clear that RetailMeNot.com collects commissions on your valid purchases that you make in good faith through their site, and then they accuse you of wrongdoing to get out of paying you what they owe you. I will take legal action not only to right the wrong that has been done to me, but to help the many others who have been wronged by RetailMeNot.com. Just stay away from this website and use more reputable and reliable cash back sites.

Beware!
July 22, 2024

I purchased items from Walmart after activating a cash back offer. Then I received emails from RetailMeNot saying that Walmart notified them of purchases and they issued pending cash back to my account. For some unknown reason however, all the cash back was deleted and my account was suspended - termed "ineligible." There was no further explanation. I did not return any items and bought them in good faith, believing in the cash back offer, which I now know was bogus.

I tried 3 different Krispy Kreme coupons that were "verified" with today's date, 1/2/2024. None of them worked. I made sure I ordered the basic glazed dozen and there were no other discounts. I hate it when supposedly legitimate coupons won't work.

RetailMeNot's unjustified cashback cancellations inflict an emotional betrayal on customers. It's disheartening when a platform we trust disregards our loyalty without any valid explanation. We deserve transparency and empathy. Let's demand better treatment and consider alternatives that value our satisfaction and trust.

The Retailmenot Team has solved my issue and everything is ok

I have redeemable money with RetailMeNot. However, I have no way to access my funds since I do not have PayPal or Venmo. If I do nothing, RetailMeNot will charge me an annual service fee till my money is depleted. I am not permitted to redeem it through another credit card source, and RetailMeNot claims it cannot issue checks. Hum? I wonder how their employees are paid!

No longer relevant
April 21, 2020

Once upon a time you could go to this site, and attain coupon codes would actually work. In two years now I have no longer been able to get a working coupon code. I will no longer even try its a waste. It is unknown if they actually test there codes, I can only guess not. Wayback this site was a go to spot for shopping. They have been gone for several years now. Adios retailmenot, your reputation has been marred over that past years there are other working sites out there...

I've used RetailMeNot for years. In the past I used to find great promo codes but seems like most of the "codes" these days are affiliate money making links that don't actually link you to the offer/deal/code. Unless there's an actual code being shown, I wouldn't waste my time clicking a link. I do find codes from time to time but they are few and far between these days.

Won't Honor Cash Back - Scam
September 23, 2022

My account was "voluntarily" deleted by Retailmenot and now they will not honor my account cash back rewards balance. I had $67 in my account and somehow they "voluntarily" deleted that. They gave no explanation as to why that was. I used the app faithfully for years collecting my cash rebates and they suddenky delete my account with no warning?! This is bull$#*!. Don't use them. There are better apps out there.

Cash Back Offer Scam
January 26, 2019

I signed up for RetailMeNot.com because they were offering a $50 cash-back bonus for signing up with AT&T as a new internet customer. I did exactly that and still am happy with my new AT&T Fiber service, but RetailMeNot banned my account for "suspicious activity" with no pay out. I even read the fine print and followed the procedure to a T. Email correspondence got no where. Complete scam.

Great site - it doesn't always come through for me, but it does often enough that it's my first stop whenever I am going to buy something from an online retailer. Lots of current coupons. A real money saver.
