FatWallet Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of FatWallet reflects a mix of customer satisfaction and significant concerns. Many users appreciate the potential for cash back and the variety of deals available, noting positive experiences with customer service, particularly in resolving issues promptly. However, a prevalent sentiment highlights frustrations with the reliability of cash back processing, often requiring lengthy follow-ups and leading to perceptions of the company as untrustworthy. Additionally, the quality of deals and the community atmosphere have reportedly declined, with complaints about spam and inconsistent moderation in forums. This duality suggests a need for improvement in service consistency and community engagement.

After teaming up with Ebates, they lost alot of users i think. Or maybe it's been on a downward slide for a while. I'll never know.

Since they were bought by ebates they are only interested in deals from their sponsers. To prove my point you just have to look at the promotion they are currently running where you get a free t-shirt if you post a deal by one of their sponsers. They don't care about real deals anymore, only deals that make THEM money (referal money kicked back to them). Deals are now poor or late after having been posted at another board hours earlier (They even give credit to other boards for the posts, why not just go to the other boards?). They favor a few posters and don't apply the posting rules to them so it has become a very poor site for people to post at and the board reflects this. Not what they used to be and going downhill from there Look at all the reviews of this place (here and other review sites) and you will see almost all negative reviews for 2012 since the changes

Hot deals have gone downhill since top poster left. Ssite purchased by ebates and now they push the deals that give them the most return. Seems everything is either a Sunday sale item or copied from slickdeals.net a few hours after it is posted there. Free stuff section is terrible.
Not close to what it used to be

Been shopping at this website for a while. This is a pretty cool and easy to use website. You basically get all the deals out there in one place plus they will sometimes give you cash back. Remember to click through fatwallet to directly transfer you to other discounted websites like groupons or tigersdirect to get your cash back.

I love this site, I always check there first before buying something and the financial section in the forum is priceless.

Fatwallet is the best place to find up to the minute ongoing deals on everything. I highly recomend it for anyone looking for a deal on anything. The only problem I have is that I end up buying somehting that I didn't plan on because it was such a great deal.

This site is pretty decent

This site is pretty decent. I like the clean format, you don't see too many items jamming up your view. That helps add authenticity feel to your site. I would post the safe forms of payment that you accept. This will help people feel a little more compelled to buy. Also consider posting some expiration dates for deals. As this will make shoppers feel impelled to take advantage of shopping opportunities. Smart logo too!
