RetailMeNot

Like many similar sites of this type, posted purchase discount codes for vendor goods/services at the Retail Me Not site work only about half the time, and there is no guarantee you will ever receive an "activated" cash percentage rebate from RMN either. Any inquiries are treated as if RMN customer service is doing you a favor, or as if you are trying to fraudulently obtain a discount on an activated and verified purchase, (I was told they were addressing a concern of mine as a "One Time Courtesy").
No Joy here, and not worth the time/effort.

Be aware of this website coz their website doesn't register cashback often and you could have use other better sites Rakuten.

As soon as I start making larger purchases for cashback on your app, my account gets magically flagged for "suspicious activity" and is under a permanent investigation, one for which you can't even provide the slightest inkling as to how someone could even scam you using your own app through their Chrome browser?

And then I'm referred to terms of use that don't even begin to detail any violations for which I could have possibly even been a part of, all while refusing to accept the receipts from the merchant I used to purchase my hotel stays for my vacation?

And you can't even give me the courtesy as a customer to provide some insight into why my account was locked after refusing to pay me for justified purchases and robbing me of the opportunity to earn cashback from one of your competitors who doesn't treat me like I'm some sort of terrorist?

No wonder why your ratings on Consumeraffairs.com and Trustpilot.com are swirling the drain.

What a $#*!ing joke of a company you are. Time to add two more awful reviews at both sites.

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.

Now I can't view any codes because it wants me to install an app, which I refuse to do. There's a pop up window preventing me from viewing the website. Why do I need an app for everything?

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.

Retailmenot "lost" all records of my cashback. Now my cashback balance is 0. This is a total scam by the company to save money.

It is so shocking to me that this company is still around. As others have noted, years and years ago when the company first came about, the coupons actually worked. Now it's seriously a joke. Every single coupon says expired or invalid and those that don't, are just pop ups and/or links to a sale on a website that don't offer any kind of discount. I live in Austin and I have personally been in their offices, have friends that work there, etc. and it is so shocking to me how they are still around. You should see the office. Full-time free barista's, free food galore, 10 free beer choices on tap, fresh grass shots, etc every perk that you could ever imagine (for scammers, *cough* "employees" - not to mention the nicest office I have ever seen, but it is all Rose tinted glasses because clearly it is just a scam site now. It's really a shame. It shows that companies like RMN care more about pop-up ads and advertisements and couldn't care less about their product/services being legitimate (or any kind of quality) it's a complete BS/scam. People that work there that I know personally even tell me that their entire revenue stream is only advertisement and pay per click. They could not care less about actually providing coupons or discounts for their consumers. These are facts not opinions. Shame on you retail me NOT.

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!

As a coupon site they are bias only putting coupons that they make money on by being affiliates. Not honest site any more used to be great.

I have NEVER found a working coupon / promo code on RetailMeNot. Not ever. In fact, I actually thought I had blocked that site from my search results with a google extension because of it.

Well, this morning I ran a general Google search for codes for Instacart, and RatailMeNot popped up, so I went ahead and tried again - with 12 or more of their so-called coupons - and every single one of them was kicked back as "not valid" or "use exceeded"! I later realized that under some, next to "Submitted by: (Name)", the name oftentimes matched the first digits on the coupons/codes (i. E., Submitted by A. Santana | Coupon Code Sant63F086). This can only mean that some *geniuses* are submitting their one-time-use codes and RetailMeNot is not validating the submissions.

In short, this place seems more like an advertising site than a promo code site. What a waste of time for me.

EDIT: To RetailMeNot Rep.
Thank you for your reply, however, I see you've replied to several reviewers, and yet all of these replies sound more like excuses than anything else, because it is something that is obviously never addressed. Simply: Don't bother responding. Rather, concentrate those efforts into providing coupons which actually work, instead of pages upon pages of coupons that do not. In today's world, very few people have half-an-hour or more to waste in having to do half your work for you (advising YOU of the coupons which do not work).

Every time I try to contact customer service via telephone and leave a message no one ever calls you back. It is extremely unprofessional.

Coupons doesn't work well on buyback websites. It is a waste of time.Its better to use the main retailer websites or other websites for promotions.

This site isn't working and not updated.

Created the first account with them because they had a 10% cashback offer for BestBuy. Followed the instruction step by step and made my eligible purchase in the "TopDeals" section, after I picked up my order a couple days later I got the email from them saying "BestBuy let us know you made a purchase" and it showed the pending cashback balance in my wallet which is good. A few days later when I checked again, I saw my pending become $0.0 went to look at my reward activity and to my surprise, I got marked ineligible now with this message "Ineligible due to suspected violation of Terms. Please contact Customer Care if you believe this was in error." Of course, I believe is an error so I contacted the customer care and gotten a response that doesn't say the specifics and told me to email directly if I believe this is an error so I emailed and it say it could take 5 days for the review, Took all 5 days for a response and guess what the reply was basically the same as the first response I got, this is not acceptable, they are straight-up not putting any effort into this problem or simply at this point I feel like they are just trying to not payout. I attached the picture of the responses.

Their advertising is an obnoxious nuisance. Their newpaper-like ad circulars jam up the mailbox and block legitimate mail. I would never buy anything from them in any circumstance. If there was some effort to put them out of business I'd want to support that. It's like they're doing inverted advertising -- make people want to avoid them. Too bad the lowest rating one can enter is one star.

Never used the service before and signed up. Tried to order two gift cards and my order was cancelled. I got the canned "third party verifier" response to my inquiry that others seem to be getting. Not sure what the deal is or if they are trying to week out casual users by denying the first order to see if you will go back, but they lost a customer here. Account deleted and I will be watching my credit card closely for fraud.

Unable to redeem cash into my venmo account. Only option is PayPal. Unable to contact customer service. Horrible customer service. Would not recommend

I did the Cashback service for AT&T wireless new service back in September 2017 and still haven't received my cash back of $100! What a SCAM this website is! Everyone please avoid Retailmenot.com! I'm a Marine Veteran OEF Afghanistan and I will not do anymore business with these people. I have emailed many times and I keep getting the run around! Still waiting on Merchant or send receipt (which I have 3x!) Uggg I give up with this place, but just had to warn others before its more wasted time!

I have NOT ONCE in 5 years found a discount code that actually worked. What a WASTE of time:-( Why the thumbs up to let you know it doesn't work and yet bad codes fill the site?

They literally have the worst offers ever. They have no idea how to do business! Don't waste your time. And if you will you wont be able to thank me later (;

Just use Ebates or TopCashBack

I made a few purchases through the site that were promising cash back. Months have gone by and multiple emails. NO CASH BACK... They said they needed the confirmation receipts/email from the company to verify. Then wont email me back. It is a Fraud. Don't believe it. There chat is never working, I have tried to chat several times and they always say sorry its down you will have to email. Don't use them.

Would give no starts if I can. The cashback offer is a total scam. They suspended my account for "suspicious activity" when all I did was email them to ask when I would receive my cash back. I was supposed to receive $70 cash back for spending over a thousand dollars on an item. I have been trying to get my cash back since October 2018 and it is February 2019 now. Retailmenot is a ton of lies and filled with a load of nonsense. They say that they had a few successful cash backs which is probably a lie and pay attention to the key word "a few". The fact that they don't even have a direct number to speak with a representative already shows us that they are unreliable. Trusted them instead of ebates which was a total mistake. Retailmenot is a scam with their cash back offer so DO NOT TRUST THEM!

ONE STAR TOO MANY!
Not an honorable company. You have to wait 45 or more days before you get your cashback.
If you wait the 45 days before you contact them, I hope you kept ALL emails from the company to want to get cashback from. You have to keep all the emails until you get your cashback. That can be 45 days or more. If you have to write in for your refund, you have to attach the confirmation email from the company you did business with, even if you use *their* confirmation email which has all the same information. If you send them their email you still have to send the confirmations. Their site acknowledges that you made a purchase through one of their sponsored merchants, but you still have to fight for the cashback.
I have had problems with a few different purchases, written in with proofs and they promised that they would manually add my cashback. I trusted them to keep their word and got rid of all the backup. Only to find out later, no added cashback. I have lost probably less than $10 cashback, but I can use that.
Please! Do not trust them. I cannot speak for other cashback companies, but I know that this one in not honorable.
