I have been with Shop at Home for several years and always thought of them as a great site. This month I have had four large purchases that qualify for the extra $5.00 in rewards and I haven't seen any rewards (regular or extra). I wrote to them and filled out 4 different missing cash forms - no reply. I replied to their standard form and asked questions - I got no reply to that either. It has been days - someone could have at least recognized that I wrote to them. I'm quite disappointed with there site at this point.

Hello Roni, Thanks for the feedback. I do see your 2 inquires made regarding cash back submitted about a week ago and we are working on researching those for you. We know you are excited to receive your Cash Back but please understand that it can take up to 30 days depending on the store and how they report orders to us. Cash back is credited to your account once the store credits your order to ShopAtHome.com. I will have someone from our Customer Service Team reach out to you today. Thanks for shopping with us!

I do manage to get a check every time that one should be cut, however it is usually not for what it should be, It is like playing a crap shoot, in that sometimes you get what you should, and sometimes not. Much like many of the reviews I've read I'd call customer service and also write but to no satisfaction. I found that it is not worth the time and trouble, I guess that as a rule I end up with more than I would have, had I not gone on your site at all. That being said, It still does not say much for your business practices.

Hit and Miss
July 26, 2016

I have used shop at home for years, but lately I never get paid for my purchases and my emails go on with no response. I would recommend using another website that is going to do as they promise. Shop at home definitely not doing that. Poor customer service!

The $5 cash back bonus was not paid for 2 of mine and inquiries were not answered. Large purchases seem to be 'overlooked' and you don't get your cashback, although the small ones are quickly processed. Also, you never get emails indicating that your purchase earned cashback, you have to look it up on their site. I went back to Ebates for most of my purchases lately.
Subsequent to this review, I got two form letters and a request for my receipt, which I furnished. It has not been resolved. Again... not worth the effort for this site. Use a tried and true rebate sight instead.

Hello Ellen, Thanks for the Feedback. I am seeing that our Customer Service Team has not denied Cash Back on your 2 recent purchases. Many stores report qualified orders within 1-2 business days; however, it can take up to 30 days depending on the store and how they report orders to us. Cash back is credited to your account once the store credits your order to ShopAtHome.com. I will have someone from our Customer Service Team reach out to you today. Thanks for shopping with us!

Lies
April 30, 2016

Have been a customer for years. Now suddenly having problems. Bought something that said 6% cash back for today only so I bought my product that day. Was only credited for 3%. Wrote customer service twice... have yet to hear back. I should have gone through savingstar like I had intended and got my 4% instead.

Hey Lauren, The Cash Back guidelines according to the merchant you ordered from state that you were eligible for "up to 6%" on Custom Blinds and 3% on "all other purchases". This is why you were credited for 3% Cash Back. Please refer to the merchant's terms and conditions before making your purchase. Thanks for shopping with us!

Love this site
October 2, 2016

I've completed my Christmas shopping with Shop at Home's help in just one month. I have $40 coming too! No trying to take pictures of receipts from my phone and having them rejected for one reason or another. Great site for seniors and those who don't drive and do most of their shopping online. Thanks Shop at Home!

I have been using ShopatHome for a while and have recommended it to several people. It provides cash back on internet purchases when you go through the ShopatHome website which is linked with a variety of stores/internet shopping sites. ShopatHome notifies you when your check is coming, what the amount will be, and follows up to make sure you received it. They can't make it any easier than that! Additionally, they have special offers and coupons too! Great service!

I have used Shopathome for about 3 years and love it. Now a habit to always shop thru the site. Most of those who have negative opinions simply have not taken the time to thoroughly read instructions/policies.

I don't do a ton of online shopping but over several years I have earned over $300! That's FREE money! I have had a few issues of not getting the rebate to show up but customer service always made it right when i contacted them. Never had a bad or no response. So far it's been great and I tell others about it.

Yes, they pay your real cash back but their cash back system is not reliable. About 30 % of websites they advertised, won't pay you cash back as promised. You have to wait until 30 days if no cash back show up then you can send cash back inquiry, asked them to investigate. They never ever responded and resolved problem! You will only received automatically responded email. That's it.

I lost my eligible cash back more than $20 from 3 websites so far. I do online shopping almost everyday and experienced many cash back websites. I would recommended "Fatwallet" or "eBates" which are more reliable and great customer service.

SCAM
June 23, 2015

After having had some success with the site, I decided to make a sizable purchase through the site from Musicians Friend, and all of a sudden they claimed that the merchant did not credit shop at home for the traffic. I have made a habit to have nothing else open as I use this site to avoid this but all in all, my purchase qualified me for nearly $200 cash back and they just wanted to find a way around paying up.

It's quick, easy and i get money back on things i would purchase anyway! I have received several checks from them. The only thing that would make it better is to have the choice to save up to 50.00 before getting your check instead of 20.00.

When I Remember
May 2, 2016

I do almost all shopping online in order to receive the best price. Having used this site for approximately 6 months, overall, I'm pretty satisfied. My major problem, is my own problem, because at times, I just forget to order through the site. I've already received my first check, and I'm looking forward to additional checks in the near future. Again, overall, I'm satisfied, since I love to shop and get paid for it.

I purchased a dishwasher from Sears through Shopathome when they were having a promotion of 20% cashback on all purchases through Sears, which would have equated to about $120 cashback! Guess what, cash back never showed up. I emailed their customer service numerous times without ever getting a response. SCAM. Will be taking my business to another affiliate website like Fatwallet. Much more reputable.

ShopAtHome is scamming me as well; getting $0.02 credit for an $8.00 credit item because I clicked in the wrong place an the advertisement; don't understand this at all. Others I am receiving zero credit and receiving no response to my e-mails other than the first "we'll look into it" but I never receive that followup resolution.

There are a lot better and honest sites out there.

In the 1yr we've been using SAH for our online purchases, my family & I have saved between $100-$150, in the form of checks sent quarterly based on purchases made the prior 90 days. It's the simplest thing in the world: sign up, visit SAH before making an online purchase, click through their link and you will earn a certain percentage (0.5% - 12%+) of your total pre-tax purchase price.

Grimy Toolbar Scheme
October 17, 2015

Scam for sure. Depending on your luck that day, you may or may not receive your cash back. And the invasive toolbar is definitely a way in which the company shopathome.com makes money. The coupons are not as good as RetailMeNot, and the cash back is not as high as Ebates or FatWallet, or even BeFrugal.

They also host "seasonal" pages and campaigns that feature coupons completely irrelevant to the "seasonal" campaign. For instance, right now there is a Horchow flatware coupon for their Halloween promotion...

Great until lately
October 2, 2016

I have had a good experience with Shop At Home until lately. I have received a couple of checks in the mail and was happy. Recently, for some reason, the purchases I made did not show up for cash back. I have submitted missing cash back reports on the purchases per the instructions from Customer Service. So far I have been notified that two of them are being credited to my cash back. I am patiently waiting to hear a response on the others ones I submitted. I am not sure what happened or if I am doing something wrong as before it was just working perfectly. I have always received a response to my emails within a few days. I am hoping for a solution soon and if I am not doing something right that they can tell me what to change in how I shopped for those orders.

I have earned ~ 5,200 in cash back for the last 7 years, using 6 or 7 different cash back sites, so I know the rules and am always very careful. Please, be careful too when using ShopAtHome as your cash back platform. I have experienced so many problems with them that I stopped using them as my go-to cash back site. Recently, they refused to credit my account for an order placed on Amazon.com. The reason they gave me makes no sense. The more I tried to explain why, the more they argued with me. I think about 1/3 of my clicks are not paid or result in incident tickets. I never experience any issue with Ebates.com for instance. I cannot possibly make mistakes only when I use ShopAtHome.

Should you experience a problem with ShopAtHome, they will tell you that the merchant did not credit ShopAtHome for your order. It's usually the answer they always give. Be suspicious and don't believe them.

Another problem. I contacted ShopAtHome about cash back not being credited, and the customer service rep who dealt with my case/ticket kept arguing with me, spamming my inbox with more and more emails to make his/her point. I have never seen that before. This is highly unprofessional. So disrespectful!

We apologize that we were unable to get your Amazon order credited. However, per our terms and conditions, when a an affiliate store does not credit an order to ShopAtHome, the order does not qualify for cash back. Please note that when the store shows that another channel was credited for referring your order, they will not also credit ShopAtHome.com.

Thank you!
