ShopSmarter

Most terrible website I ever met.
Take away my money without authorization.
3 times without any notification or email/text msg.
Never notice This because I am busy with my newborn baby also
This is not a right way to do business!
------------------------------------------------------
Thanks after contact the Shopsmarter I get the fully refund for the IC member fee and I would like to suggest next time can improve this, don't deduct the memebership fee in this way.

I have found this site a money saver for me. I have received $72,30 in 3 months and yes I pay a fee, but I order most everything online, because I am handicapped and don't have a car, and carrying things in to my apartment would be difficult even if some one took me. I think that people have to realize that most people are not going to make huge purchases every month and must follow all the restrictions for each site, such as (no easy pay). There is a learning curve and I made some mistakes in the beginning, but I am happy making at least a little over what my fee is, or more. The average purchaser must realize they may not get rich, but they can get a return for their investment if they are frequent online shoppers, and always remember they must go through the Shopsmarter site, You still come out more ahead than just ordering online without ShopSmarter even if you get free shipping as they don't cover shipping charges.

Just made a purchase from walmart.com and got the shopsmarter offer. I balked at the "start here" page because I didn't see a list of what merchants participated and it wanted an email address (and I already get too much crap email.) So I did a search and found the sitejabber reviews. Thanks! (the fee was not disclosed on the "start here" page.)

I was puzzled as to why there were any positive reviews at all, so I took a look at them. It looks like if you are a 'big spender' and you pay your credit cards in full each month if might be an OK deal. In my estimate you'd have to spend at least $1500. 00 year on applicable merchandise at participating merchants just to break even. To be worth the fees and hassle, I'd need to spend at least double that and that ain't gonna happen. So it would be a bad deal for me.

In my opinion there should be full disclosure upfront, anything less is unethical.

I do not work or in any way affiliated with shopsmarter.com and this is a honest review of them. I just used them to do some blackfriday shopping and I saved a lot more than i expected. They had 20% discount going on during that time. However, I haven't get paid yet but I'm hopeful and their site has updated with my pay out amount.

I will continue to use them in the future and I hope they will have their 20% off retailers up soon for Christmas. That being said, their customer service reps are not up to the mark- when I called they didn't have any helpful information.

Advertisement showcases nice rebate with a small trial fee so I joined thinking I would still net a decent amount for minimal effort. However they don't make it evident (likely hidden in the T&C) that the payout is scheduled several weeks out so there's no way you'd get the rebate without paying for a full subscription. Very misleading. Don't waste the time. Sad to think about how much money they've made off trials with no payout.

I was suspicious about getting $10 cash back when it asked for a credit card number at the end before you submit and agree to their terms and conditions and even then it's really hard to find where it says you'll be charged but it does it doesn't say how much I don't think but there's a lot of fine print to read so it's definitely a trick and I can understand why all these people are upset but that's why you don't put credit card numbers into something in check a box where you say you agree to their terms without reading them. They give you a 7 day trial I believe but I ain't trusting that for 10$ back... mailed to me no less who knows when or if you get that... sorry to the people who were charged though.

I would give 0 star if I can. This company has no business ethics at all. Simply shut down your account when you have hundreds of savings in your account. There are lots of free cash back websites out there with unlimited cash back. What shopsmarter does is charge your monthly subscription fee, get paid from the websites you make purchases and pay you nothing. A total of money and time waste. Stay away from them.

I signed up for the trial. I used the website and followed the directions for using their shopping portals. I made purchases, multiple purchases, and none of them were reflected on my account at shopsmarter. I contacted customer support approximately 3 times, all 3 times I was told someone would be contacting me, nobody ever did contact me and it has been almost 3 weeks. Bottom line, they did not fulfill their promise of 10% back and had no interest in helping me out when it didn't work.

ShopSmarter.com is one of the most dishonest, unethical, immoral, unscrupulous,
Fraudulent, corrupt, devious, evasive and dubious... let's not forget, borderline felonious organizations I've ever encountered. Under the pretense of customers' performance (valid receipt) yields appropriate reward (rebates), ShopSmarter.com failed miserably in upholding their end of the bargain... in process, costing customers thousands of $$$!

Update as of January 27,2020:

After speaking to a nice lady at Shop Smarter, she refunded all the charges to my credit card, explained how shop smarter works and the monthly charges. Probably first time in my experience where a company refunded the money in such scenario. Maybe I'd consider them in future...

Initial Review:

They sent me a cheque of $10 which was bogus as my bank would not consider it a legit cheque. They took my credit card information while signing up and charged me $13.45 three times... yes they charged me three times... I wish I had done a little google search before signing up.

I have purchased thousands of dollars of products through their system and their "cash back" only is hitting a small percentage of them. When you contact customer service they always have a generic reason for not paying. They never actually give you documentation that specifies what they have received or the specific reason for denial (or even if they have denied).

It's a joke. Seemed too good to be true... and I was correct:(

Stay away.

I don't know how I signed up for this membership when I shop at Macy's, but I have been charged for two years! Their customer services only can refund me 6 months of the payment! This is ridiculous and unacceptable! No not use this company!

I was offered a one time $10 discount at Bed Bath and Beyond on May/20. I did not sign up for a saving membership. I have been charged $79.76. I also never reviewed the $10 cash back as well. This company is truly a scam, and they should be ashamed of themselves. I want a $79.76 refund ASAP.
