ShopAtHome is the worst cashback site I've used. Supposedly, they will send a check after 3 months of your transactions. The fact is the day before they were supposed to send me a check, they cancelled my account. I accumulated several hundreds of dollars in cashback over a few months, but they wiped everything off without even giving me a notice or explanation. Don't use them! I will file a complaint with bbb.org and strongly suggest that anyone who had the same problem do the same, so everyone knows this is a scam cashback site. FYI, on bbb.org, ShopAtHome is actually listed under a different name: Belcaro Group, Inc, so that, I guess, people cant find related complaints easily. Untrustworthy!
What's mroe unethical, they didn't let me know that they cancelled my account until after I asked them why the cashback was gone. By then, I accummulated another 50+ dollars with them, which they wiped off again! I could have switched to other cashback sites earlier!
And NO, don't trust them when they replied below that they would discuss the specific problems with me, because I emailed them twice and got no reply at all. See other reviews for the horrible customer service. I will update my review if I ever get a reply as to why my using their cashback site was considered "suspicious" by them! Ridiculous!
Love the site! Used it to book our summer vacation and buy back-to-school clothes and got a nice check in the mail. No spam. Easy to use.
Love this site. I've saved a ton of money with the coupons and the rebate check is like the cherry on top!
Things don't seem to post as easily as it had in the past and your response to track backs are not acceptable
Hey Donna, Thanks for the feedback! I am going to send you a private message to personally research your issue. Thanks for shopping with us!
There are a lot of great coupon sites out there but Shopathome is the best one I've found for Cash Back and many times has the same or better coupons with ability to also provide cash-back... something retailmenot and others don't do.
Here's my top pros and cons of Shopathome:
Pros
110% Price Guarantee - this is a link available on all stores that offer cash-back. Every once in a while I'll find another site offering better cash-back on a store I'm going to purchase and never had a problem with ShopAtHome honering at 110% better cash-back price
Earn cash-back on everyday essentials - ie, I buy everything from toilet paper to toothpaste on shopathome and pickup at Walmart or have it shipped from Walgreens or Drugstore.com and save lots of money + earn cash back.
Cash-back often works with coupons as guaranteed on each of their store pages to double dip on savings.
Use for travel! Most travel sites don't offer a lot of coupons but Shopathome guarantees cash-back at 110% on everything from hotels to vacation packages... if you're already booking your hotel online, great to have cash-back on it as well!
Responsive customer service - other reviewers seem to have an issue but I usually get an email response within about 2 business days on the 2 commissions I have had
Toolbar allows you to see cash-back anywhere you are shopping online
Every day they offer a good cash-back deal on a product or store that is much better than I've seen on other sites
When you search for a product in the search box it will show you cash back options for that specific product as well
Cons
Cash-back isn't paid till $20 is reached - eBates is similar but sites like big crumbs is lower
No PayPal Option
They push their toolbar a lot - personally don't like toolbars and wish it would stop asking me.
Need to pay attention to the cash back guidelines at each store page to make sure your purchase is not restricted... ie, gift cards, iphones, and some categories might have lower cash-back rates
Have found some of the coupons other sites are offering can be higher than what Shopathome has with cash-back... seem to net out in the end in most cases but wish shopathome always had the best coupons
I have been using Shop at Home for several years. It is the best. The 110% guarantee is amazing. Customer service is excellent.
I love shopathome.com I just wish that more stores listed with them. There are a few stores that I shop that are not offered on this site.
It toolk me a couple months of shopping - I finally got to the minimum of around 30 dollars- That's 30$ more that I have in my pocket!
I use shopathome every time I but online. I love the discounts and the earnings and it's all so easy!

Great Website, has all the current coupons listed and it is nice to also get Cash back for online shopping.
Cant beat it, you get a discount when you buy plus a check back when you get to $20 accured in your account. Love it!
Wow really cash back i love it and it makes me want to shop more and its fun when i do Shop At Home is a god send
I not use The ShopAtHome company more. Because:
1. The ShopAtHome has deceived me, and do not pay more than 15 cash back.
ShopAtHome uses the following scheme: if you say about the missing of your money, the more often you get a letter like this:
"We have contacted the merchant affiliate regarding your purchase. The store records do not attribute the referral for your order to ShopAtHome.com and will not credit us for your order."
A reason about what happened, you do not know. And if you just went through the ShopAtHome website to store site, and stayed there until the full payment, too.
Or, if you said later about the missing money (terms I do not understand: they called 30 days and 90 days - perhaps the term is called depending on the time of your treatment, but it is not in your side).
2. The company is engaged in discrimination. I came from another country and do not speak in English so good, and ShopAtHome use it, that not pay me my cash back money.
I've got a lawyer, and I'm going to get my money from the ShopAtHome.
Please, will say your friends, that ShopAtHome is the company-cheater. You loss your money as me.__________

Ok, I will add here to response to ShopAtHome.
It's not true, that you will missing cash back. I was missing my cash back on July 2016, May 2016, January and February 2016. And ShopAtHome refused me.
I stay on the site and took a payment, because I know, that I can stay. And I did it! Every time! But you didn't know, why you can not get your money. It's a secret - said me ShopAtHome.
I didn't receive my cash back. ShopAtHome said me any reason. But not paid.
If you will search the review another people, that you will read, that the company received your money.
This open fraud and robbery.
Hi Galina,
Per our multiple responses to your service tickets, you submitted missing orders past 90 days. Our terms and conditions state that missing order must be submitted within 30 days. Some of your missing orders were made in 2014.
The one order you submitted that was less than 90 days was reported by the store as credited to another publisher, not to ShopAtHome.com. Therefore, per our terms and conditions, the order did not qualify for cash back rewards.
Again, we are sorry that we are unable to research missing orders after so much time has passed. Because of this limitation, we clearly state in our terms and conditions that missing orders must be submitted to ShopatHome.com within 30 days.
When a store tracks and credits an order to ShopAtHome.com, we share our commission in the form of cash back. When an order is not credited to ShopAtHome.com, there is nothing to share.
We want your orders to qualify for cash back rewards. Please be sure to review our FAQs and terms and conditions for additional information on Qualified Purchases.
We hope you will give us another try using the tips in our FAQs.
Thank you!
Awesome it is so nice to get paid for buying stuff I would be buying anyway!
Great and timely receipt of check. Also great at keeping your account updated.
Answer: Laura, Purchases are eligible after 60 days. Therefore, you would have to have reached $20 in cash back on qualified purchases, for example, with qualified purchases made through 6/30/17 to receive a payout on 8/31/17. Note that bonus cash back is not payable until you have $20 in cash back from qualified purchases. If you have additional questions, we can better address them if you use the contact us page on our site. Thank you! ShopAtHome
