  1. [R3] RetailMeNot 3/5 · US Doesn’t always work: There are times I try to use the codes and they don’t work. But, sometimes they do. Hit or miss.
  2. [R5] RetailMeNot 5/5 · US Real Savings!: I started using this tool during Black Friday and Christmas sales last year. From Nov-Dec I managed to earn $106 back that I was able to cash right out and use for whatever I needed as soon as the New Year started. RetailMeNot is legit and I’m here for it!! Thank you for saving me money! -A Grateful Single Mom!!
  3. [R14] RetailMeNot 5/5 · US Absolutely love it!!: RetailMeNot is just what the doctor ordered in saving! It’s so easy to use and unless you DON’T like saving money then it would be silly NOT to use it!
  4. [R15] RetailMeNot 3/5 · US Most Don’t Work: Used for years and early on the codes mostly were legit. For many months now, the codes don’t work and see made up; like a person’s name plus a number. Very disappointing.
  5. [R1] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US No cash back: No cash back for 2026 purchases so far. I have made several orders since January. When I check back my purchases and then just found out they only accept missing cash back within 90 days of the purchase. This is so unacceptable. Going to uninstall the app.
  6. [R4] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US Not happy: Takes over a month or two to get your reward approved. I shop Walmart multiple times a week and somehow this app never acknowledges anything I order on Walmart…. Still waiting on Lowe’s reward from 6 weeks ago. Really irritating
  7. [R6] RetailMeNot 3/5 · US Where’s my money???: I have shopped thru RMN for CVS.COM several times over the past few months and have received no money??? I also got a notification from CVS saying that I’m their #1 CVS.COM shopper in FL!!!! Where’s my money???? I save ALL of the emails from RMN stating that I activated them???
  8. [R13] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US 👎🏾: This app keeps crashing. Every time I open the app it glitches and closes it immediately. Please fix it.
  9. [R25] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US Keep my money: When I try to withdraw the money I have It does not let me log in on iPhone or google every time I try it keeps going to log in
  10. [R30] RetailMeNot 3/5 · US Review: Too complicated, just let us order without all the ‘hoops’ we have to jump through.
  11. [R19] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US Horrible: It’s not reliable that the cash back transaction shows up on your account. I usually have to follow up. I don’t have this problem on Rakuten.
  12. [R33] RetailMeNot 3/5 · US Not fully accessible with voiceover: I could not find a way to contact Support, so I had to write this review. Many good aspects of app, but it is not fully accessible using voiceover. Nor is the website.
  13. [R36] RetailMeNot 3/5 · US What has happened?: I feel like I used to do so well with my rewards on here but now I don’t ever seem to see them. I sign in to purchase through the app and then never see any cash back. It’s like a job having to come back and send my orders and info to get my money back and sorry to say, I just don’t have time for that because I can guarantee I already spent a BUNCH of time shopping to begin wit
  14. [R42] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US Goalposts keep changing: They are very slow to verify your orders, if they do at all. About 50% of the time I have to submit a ticket to get my cash back. They also change goal posts and deny cash back if you use a coupon loaded into your loyalty account for the store you’re shopping at because the coupon wasn’t advertised on RMN. Overall it’s not worth having to spend time going back and review
  15. [R8] RetailMeNot 5/5 · US Cash back: I have been using RetaiMeNot for years. It is a good website to save money.
  16. [R11] RetailMeNot 5/5 · US Love it: I love getting a check for spending money It’s great
  17. [R16] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US Codes don't work: They don't
  18. [R22] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US What’s the point?: None of the codes work. Not a single one!
  19. [R61] Fetch 1/5 · US They don’t want large purchases: The take points away if you make to many purchases for the items they are listing for significant amount of points. They also deduct points if you are using your business purchases as well. Especially for liquor and bars

  21. [R66] Fetch 3/5 · US Please fix: This is a good app but when i go into games and go to coin Master it wont give me my rewards I ALREADY DOWNLOADED IT AND WAS ON VILLAGE 98 PLEASE FIX BRO OML
  22. [R67] Fetch 1/5 · US Points not being awarded: For a while I loved the app. It would reward me all my points and I just cashed out for a Visa card and am waiting for it now. But the last 4-5 days I haven’t been getting any of my coins from the games I’ve been playing. I reached out to support and they gave me one of my rewards. But in that same email they said they can’t manually override it again if I don’t get my co
  23. [R7] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US No More Cash Back?: I stopped receiving cash back months ago. Now I have a balance that is too small to redeem.
