    I have been using this site for over five years and I used this site alone for all of my Christmas shopping since October 2024. They are trying not to pay me saying I violated terms. In no way did I violate terms. There is no customer service. They don’t respond or look into anything. This site needs to be removed asap. I lost a lot of money where I could have used Ibotta or Rakuten.

    I bought something through their cashback program and it went through without a hitch. The funds of the cashback were pending, then out of the blue they suspended it completely due to a "suspicion" that I violated their terms. After reaching out they listed nothing concrete, and their opacity spells out that it was completely arbitrary. My guess is they receive a commission from the businesses then unscrupulously refuse to keep their word to pay out cashback to consumers as much as they can.

      I have earned money through RetailMeNot for Thanksgiving and they have added the amount into my account but in one day sudden I saw that my amount is vanished from the account and when I reached out to them they said they suspect some fraudulent activity. I requested them to look into it. They said they can't look into it. I asked them the reasons. They said they can't give the reasons. I asked them to escalate they said they can't escalate or any escalation process. They are only saying, "We feel fraudulent activity. We won't give the cash back to you". Such a fraud company.

      I signed up for this website about a year ago. To get the credit, you go to their website, click on the activation link, and then make an eligible purchase. I did that and I was getting small credits for a while. Then all of a sudden I made a large purchase ($800) at Walmart for 10% back ($50 max credit). Within 2 days, I got the $50 credit. However, since then (over 3 weeks ago) I have not gotten any credits whatsoever for subsequent purchases. I have contacted their customer service several times, they just keep giving me the runaround but don't resolve anything. Since about 4 weeks ago, despite making regular purchases and activating in the correct way, I am not getting any credits. This is just my opinion, but I have a feeling that their algorithm has a built-in system that essentially denies or delays claims once you reach a certain high level of credits, sort of as a stopgap measure to slow down payments.

      After all, they have a financial incentive to not pay off too much money, because they lose money. They also have a misleading confirmation email that is generated when you click an activation button, that says that if you already made a purchase, you will still get a credit. In fact, this is not true. But the email confirming that you have activated a vendor is sent simultaneously. So it makes no sense to get an email saying that you are eligible even if you have already made a purchase at the time you click the activation button, if the reality is that you have to click first before you get the credit. It's just extremely misleading. What they should really say is that you will only get the credit if you activated first. That's not my biggest issue with them, but it's still misleading.

      My biggest issue is that I'm not getting credits for purchases which I made after I first activated. I was okay with them until about a month ago, when all of this started happening after I made the large Walmart purchase. I haven't changed anything on my browser, I have been using the exact same phone, nothing's changed on my end to suggest that I'm doing something wrong. It coincides perfectly with my large purchase at Walmart, when somehow I think their algorithm triggered that I'm getting too much money, and it either is delaying or denying the credits. The company will probably deny this, but it just seems too much of a coincidence all of a sudden, after a year of getting these credits like clockwork, they stop all of a sudden.

      Thank you for your feedback. Rewards take up to 45 days from the date of purchase to fully process and for the qualifying Rewards to be applied to your RetailMeNot account upon approval. Our system does not allow us to update your activation status during this time. It may take the full 45 days to process; if you see inaccurate information, please do not worry, as we may not have complete details from the merchant yet.

      RMN case #**--submitted 11/11/24. On 11/8/24 I purchased a cabinet at Sam's Club using a 10% cash back offer (max $50). Before purchasing I checked eligibility & the category/category id was shown as eligible under both Member's Mark/Member's Mark & Furniture/Furniture. RMN shows it is ineligible. Support was contacted 11/11/24 & as of 11/19 I have received no response or credit even though they stated "Our goal is to get back with you within 24 hours or sooner". The cabinet was delivered 11/18/24 to replace damaged one received 11/13/24.

      Totally useless. Use any other cashback site than RetailMeNot. You never actually get any cash back, and in the very rare situation that you do, they don't let you know and charge a monthly fee til it's all gone anyway.

      I made a purchase with Nordvpn, where I would be refunded $50 on the amount paid with my subscription, however it seems that my cashback is missing, so I request that Retailmenot resolve the problem and that the reward be updated for redemption.

      Updated on 05/12/2024: Well I wrote a previous review about receiving a vague email stating that my account has been supposed due to suspicious activity. Now, when I followed up asking what was the suspicious activity…I was given no reason. They did however provide me with term that only an attorney decipher. So, here I am after years of being a loyal customer I’m treated like this. I can’t understand how I can possibly write to the appeals board explaining an issue that I don’t even know what the issue is. So, I filed a complaint on here 5/6/2024. The company replied 5/7/2024 that they would look into this and reach out to me very soon.

      As of today, 5/12/2024, I haven’t received any emails or detailed explanation. In fact, if I would have reached out to RETAILMENOT initially because I kept getting an error when I tried to a coupon code. It just kept saying “oops error”. They didn’t even have the courtesy to bring it to my attention in a professional manner that there could be a potential issue. From there I searched issues and saw what to do if your account has been suspended. Well, my first thought was my account hasn’t been suspended because I never got any information on that. Well, I decided to try it anyhow. Sure enough later on that I got a reply to my inquiry that my account had been suspended. No reason given. So, that’s why it’s suspicious that I haven’t received a reply to my initial complaint on here and it’s been 6 days. I would also greatly accept any advice from fellow consumers!!

      Original Review: I’ve been using Retailmenot for a long time without any issues. I’ve never intentionally or knowingly did anything to cause problems. I went to use my account as I have for quite some time. It kept giving me an error message. I decided to reach out to Retailmenot to see what the issue was. I was then sent an email that seems to be a standard email sent to everyone. No explanation as to why my account was suspended. No information on when my account will be reinstated. Just a link if I want to have them review it again.

      Well, why wasn’t I given the courtesy of what the issue was? Also, if there’s “suspicious activity” wouldn’t it be in the best interest of the customer to be more specific for several reasons. One being, there could be an issue with someone hacking their account, identity issues, spam issues to name a few. Instead a link is given to read the rules. I don’t know if anyone has read them but when I was done my head hurt. This is more for an attorney to read and then explain to their client. It’s not user friendly and it’s hard to understand. So after reading it, I am still confused. I mean I am supposed to read these endless pages that really should be read by an attorney, then after that I should be able to know what I supposedly did wrong!? Really!?

      I am 54 years old and I have never had any of my accounts suspended. I’ve always followed the rules! I spend a lot of money shopping online especially since the pandemic. And now after this, I am ready to go back to the Brick and mortar stores. This really came as blow! It’s very upsetting and not fair! I am a person who stands up for what’s right! I feel that all of us consumers that have received this vague email without any definitive reason should all contact the Attorney General to have them at the very least look over the rules. They really are for the consumer’s rights!

      Helpful with Rockauto and admittedly haven’t used it for other stores, I do plan to but coupons for amazon are frustrating because you can't copy and paste the code into the code bar. It just says code provided at checkout but there is none provided for the 20% off. I got 5% off but from amazon itself. Unless they fix this I wouldn’t recommend using this for amazon codes in the future.

      I made a purchase through them on Expedia and they promised $50.00 cash back after my purchase was completed and I even got an email confirmation notification from retailmenot.com. It said that they received a confirmation of purchase from Expedia and that I was going to receive the $50.00 after 45 days exactly. Almost 50 days later I tried contacting them asking for my $50 cash back since it's been more than 45 days but now they say it could be 45 days after my flight gets completed which will not happen until next year. I think they are misleading and they lie in plain sight, I don't understand why they won't issue my $50 cash back even when they know flight tickets are not refundable.
