Do not waste your time - they have multiple reasons not to give cash back. Many my orders turned out ''not eligible''. And, to realize that, you have to email CS and provide full orders' info. Stay away

Hi Tati - we are sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience with Giving Assistant. We would really like to get to the bottom of why you might not be receiving cash back from us. Do you mind emailing hello@givingassistant.org and letting us know which stores your shopping at and whether you have the Giving Assistant Button download or if you are going directly from our site? Thanks so much!

I have been with giving assistant for 5 years and constantly earn extra money from shopping online. I compare giving assistant with other earn money websites and giving assistant is always a winner. They offer simplest way to make extra $$. A customer service is also very helpful. Giving assistant also offers discount promo codes and coupons. Keep it up Giving Assistant!

AWESOME website
September 1, 2019

I use Giving Assistant for all my shopping trips. They have the best cashback rates, and that allows me to donate to a worthy charity also. I did have to contact them recently on a saturday. Even though their chat system said they'd be back on Monday, I got a response within 10 minutes and the response was that my issue was resolved. I didnt have to explain, no questions asked. I recommend GA to anybody who asks.

Easy Cash Back!
October 30, 2019

I have been using Giving Assistant for over six months, and I am so glad that I started. I have saved over $200 by making my normal purchases through giving assistant. I also appreciate that Giving Assistant does not ask for any credit card information when making purchases.

Easy to use

Easy to use platform, great for shoppers and non-profits. Great way for your supporters to donate by making purchases they were already going to make. Win-win!

Save AND give back!
January 16, 2020

This is the best site to use when shopping online. It's so easy to search for the store you want and then find all the best deals for that store. And when you purchase online a percentage of your total goes to the charitable organization of your choice. It's a Win / Win!

I stumbled onto the givingassistant.org site and will NEVER re-visit it. It locked up my browser totally so that I had to ERASE the setting on my iPad ( which is still "restoring" 35 minutes later) TOXIC site! AVOID! The site has a pop up that does not allow you to decline the offer to lower your browser privacy settings in order for them to "improve your experience@ with the site. Ye gods!

Hi Tan,

Please send us an email at help[at]givingassistant.org and we'd be happy to look into this for you! It was likely a mixup that can be resolved.

Best,

I previously made a purchase on GivingAssistant that showed 12% cash back rate. When the cash back came in, it was only for 8%. I chatted with the customer service, and they responded by saying that they did not update the rate to 8% when it was supposed to be that, and they honored the higher cashback rate and top-up to make it 12%. I would definitely recommend working with GivingAssistant for all cashback purchases as they are credible and reliable. Thank you so much!

I coulnd't be more thrilled with how seamless and easy Giving Assistant is for getting cash back on so many great shopping sites! Not only they they include many sites I already shop on, but have actively found other places to shop to get cash back. I couldn't be happier!

Actually a scam.
March 4, 2021

Claims to give cash back on online shopping, I've tried it multiple times and it has never worked. Contacted customer support, they were extremely uncooperative, kept making excuses, deflected, and strung me along for more than a week worth of customer support messages. I've also seen real reviews that say their donation system to charities is highly suspect and most likely a fraud. Please avoid this fraudulent extension at all costs. I've used many other extensions that have worked perfectly as advertised. Attaching the email chain their CS strung me along on, for what would've amounted to maybe $5 worth of cash back. Absolutely $#*!ing ridiculous.

Hi Kevin, sorry to hear you had a poor experience with Giving Assistant! Newegg has strict terms on what it offers cash back on and it looks like some of the items you purchased were non-commissionable. If you have any specific concerns about where donations go, please feel free to reach out further! We send quarterly check payments to all nonprofits that receive donations on our site.

Been using it for years
November 3, 2019

It works, it's not a scam. Whenever I had a problem, like cashback not registering for some reason, I write to them and it gets resolved quickly, which is a maaajor plus. It's easy to use and I also like the doneting aspect of it.

The portal adds fake order numbers instead of the real ones and then deletes them. There is no point in participating in this program.

March 2017 coupons
50UNION (50% off transfer fee was not honored by Western Union)

On March 20,2017, I "copied" the 50UNION code and "pasted" it into the Western Union Web site. It would not "Apply." I tried several times. Western Union told me I could call their Customer Service the next day to get it applied. I called Customer Service the same day, but they said they could not apply it once the transaction was sent. I'm not impressed with either Giving Assistance or Western Union.

Hi Vicki - we are so sorry to hear about your experience. If you use the "verified" codes that are on the top of the store pages, they will definitely work for the stores you are shopping at. Also, don't forget about the cash back you can receive by downloading the Giving Assistant button!

Scammers

I ordered 6 months via Giving Assistant and I have PAYABLE EARNINGS.

Great Customer Service
October 3, 2019

Giving Assistant tracks all of my purchase accurately. The payout is usually within a few days after the cash back is posted to your account. Best of all, it is automatic. Highly recommended!

Downloaded the extension, forgot about it, and was reminded of deals when I was about to buy a blender! Sweet. Even better I got to send it to my favorite charity that's run by a friend. Love it GA!
