“Looks like a Total Scam”

Bart J.

11/27/21

Decided to check out their site and not recommending it at all. „Payable" funds dissapearaed magically from my account a week ago with info „You have received Paypal payment". Of course nothing arrived to Paypal. Reported this to customer service - not responding totally even once. Looks like a dead site to me - AVOID.

“9 times out of 10, codes are worthless”

May 5th, 2022

I'm pretty sure they purposely add fake codes as click bait so it sends you to the site with their affiliate link and make money off you anyway. 9 times out of 10 the codes are bogus and there is no way to report bad codes.

“Misleading at best”

June 29th, 2020

Went on this website to find discount codes before purchasing on Target.com and not only were the titles of the codes to click on misleading, but none of them even worked. Avoid this scam and look elsewhere for legitimate coupon codes.

Thank you

“Waste of Time”

December 12th, 2018

Been using this a few weeks, and have made about 15 different purchases since, all said cashback activated and yet nothing happens. The coupons don't work or are expired, and also, it doesnt give qualifying criteria. I don't know why I still struggled so long using this extension...

Thank you

“Coupons do not work”

December 8th, 2017

I have been trying for over an hour to use ANY of the Giving Assistant listed coupons for Gettington. There are dozens. None work. When used at checkout, they ALL say "coupon not valid" or "coupon does not apply to your order"

Thank you

How does upgrading the membership work? is the $5.99 a one time payment, or is it monthly or annual? How does upgrading the membership work? is the $5.99 a one time payment, or is it monthly or annual?

Answer:

Upgrading to our Power Shopper membership means that for $5.99 a year, you get DOUBLE cash back rates on all of your cash back purchases. That's a lot of savings! Your $5.99 membership fee will be automatically removed from your first cash back payment. Don't want to pay? No problem!
