They help not-for-profits by offering the opportunity to shoppers to donate some of their cost to their designated charity. Thanks for making a cool platform to help not-for-profits!
It is so great that Giving Assistant contributes to non profits. We really appreciate it. Also think it gives consumers an opportunity to think about supporting non profits.
Thanks Annette for your kind words!
They are the best cashback company - which I trust! I am satisfied and know more of your stuff form the years of cooperation. Every time you respond to me on time. God bless you!
This is by far the easiest app for getting money back while shopping! You get access to it by just a click of a button and it doesn't have the multitude of exclusions other cashback programs have.
Thanks Catherine! Happy to hear you find Giving Assistant easy to use.
While there are disappointments when stores do not honor the cashback, it's not Giving Assistants fault. But I hope they can resolve it. I like getting the income every week. Thanks Giving Assistant1
I and my chosen charity, Basset Buddies Rescue of Texas have each gotten back close to $900 by starting at GA or using the GA button on Chrome. Customer service is great.
I use GivingAssistant.org as one of the ways to raise funds for my non-profit. They are much more successful than other methods I have tried.
Glad to hear it, Robert!
Giving Assistant is so easy to use and people love that they can shop and support us at the same time.
Great to hear Erica!
I received a quick reply that resolved concerns and answered my questions! This is a great site! Thank you!
Glad to hear it Chris! :)
Very good support. Sometimes slow but the results are still as expected, trying to listen to customers more
They care about shoppers. Great communications. I would like to recommend to others.
The payment is very quick and I can print out from home.
Glad to hear it Sachiko :)
The response from the help team is very helpful and always on time. They are always online to solve your problems. Strong recommendation!
Giving Assistant is a great resource to shop from and for nonprofits to raise much needed unrestricted income.
Glad to hear it Melanie!
GIving Assistant is so helpful in raising funds for our non-profit Native American Marriage Enhancement.
They also process their funds quickly.
Glad to hear that Doris!
I am owed money from this website. They gave me half after 3 months and i have to wait another 3 months for the other half. Dont waste your time.
Hi K. M - thanks for your review. Have you had the chance to try out Giving Assistant again since this review? Would love to know your thoughts, we've updated our browser extension and we think you will really like the latest version! As for the cash back you should have received in the past, please be sure to email us at hello@givingassistant.org and we'll get to the bottom of it!
None of the many coupons I tried worked. A waste of time when you consider there are so many other sites.
Hi Shannon, I totally understand your frustration. Our coupon codes are aggregated from all over the internet, so sometimes they don't work. The "verified" deals will show you all of the best savings at that store. Additionally, don't forget you can also save hundreds every year by shopping at stores that offer cash back.
Codes dont work its a scam, they just get you to click through to the websites from their site so that they can earn revenue from sending you over
I've been a member of Giving Assistant for a year now, and I've received over $120 in cash back! ONLY the last payment that shows up on the payment list is missing from my PayPal. I never had any problems before. The initial three months wait until the cash back was released was a nail biter! But then the money loaded in the app early in the morning and transferred to my PayPal in the afternoon! Easy peasy!
I've used other cash back services, like ID.me and Rakutan. But they have limits on what items will earn cash back and have different percentages of cash back in EACH category! MANY items aren't even eligible for cash back! It's very difficult to use them for this reason, you never know if the items you're buying are eligible for cash back nor do you know the exact percentage EACH item might earn! It changes ALL the time in them and MANY items and retailers earn NOTHING, 0%!
You don't have this headache with Giving Assistant! They offer cash back in MORE places and, except for gift cards (which shouldn't have cash back anyway), virtually EVERYTHING in the store is included in the cash back deal! Plus they have an AWESOME program in which you can pay an annual fee of $6 and get a higher percentage (double!) of cash back from EACH store! It's an option you can choose and not mandatory. I just happened to find it while searching through the site! I do a LOT of online shopping and paying $6 a year to double my cash back was a no brainer! As mentioned, I've received over $120 back in the year! So that $6, which they withhold from earned cash back, got me an extra $60! If you don't shop online too often and aren't likely to benefit from paying for the annual membership, no worries! You still get cash back, just a lower percentage!
Now, the one thing that no one else offers is the opportunity to donate to a charity of your choice! Not ONLY are you able to choose the charity, but you can choose how much of your cash back to give them! THAT is the coolest thing! If you want, you can have ALL your cash back go to your chosen charity! It's paid out to them the same way it comes to you! You can see how much they get by looking at the "giving" side instead of the cash back payment. It's the best!
Good percentage of restotring some of what you pay, with a very helpful team, patients in following up with brands
I strongly recommend.
Thanks so much Hesham for your kind words!
