  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. [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.
  4. [R16] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US Codes don't work: They don't
  5. [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!
  6. [R30] RetailMeNot 3/5 · US Review: Too complicated, just let us order without all the ‘hoops’ we have to jump through.
  7. [R31] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US Hard to use: Will not ever let me use the discount!! Not Ever!!!
  8. [R48] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US Some data OUTDATED! Past date!: first came up the dates for deals was between Nov 6 - 8 th It’s already DECEMBER 19, 2025! At Christmas shopping this is ..WTF!
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [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???
  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. [R34] RetailMeNot 1/5 · US I'm Done: They did not inform users back in 2024 that there was a new minimum approved rewards that you have to have in order to cash out. If I had known this, I would have never made a purchase using their site. Now I got an email stating that on the 25th of February, my account will be subject to a $2 "maintenance fee" (MAJOR eye roll) for being inactive. They are basically stealing my money. Th
  14. [R76] Bilt Rewards 1/5 · US Horrible customer service: No flexibility, customer service is chat only and answers are short cuts with no real resolution and quick in ending the chat. AI solution is incomplete and also taking a short cut. No real resolution. I would avoid it if I can.
  15. [R109] Bilt Rewards 1/5 · US Last update broke accessibility: This app was super fun and easy to use until the last update. I am a blind user and just opened the app to find that I'm no longer able to pay my bills on my own. When opening the app and using screen reading software, nothing happens, it's almost like a blank screen. Please fix the app so I can move on and continue living my life and being able to pay my rent inde
  16. [R45] RetailMeNot 5/5 · US Skeptic but now I’m a BELIEVER: Honestly I had the app for a while, but barely used it. I happened to login and realize I had $20 cashback earned sitting there waiting for me and in 3 weeks I have earned over $60 in pending cashback earned. Yes it can take up to 45 days to be approved, but it’s literally free money! I’m a new mom and I’m pinching Pennie’s so this is so exciting because I feel like
  17. [R47] RetailMeNot 5/5 · US Worth it!: Want savings for buying things?! It’s easy and rewards you for rewarding yourself!
  18. [R55] RetailMeNot 5/5 · US Incredible!: Awesome way to get money back for everyday shopping!
  19. [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.
  20. [R61] Bilt Rewards 1/5 · US Rinky Dink: This app is black and white, not intuitive, & extremely poorly designed. It appears to be what a D high school computer student would produce!
  21. [R63] Bilt Rewards 3/5 · US Bilt app review: The UI isn’t very intuitive. Finding statements & transactions is annoying
  22. [R70] Bilt Rewards 1/5 · US Clunky & Loaded w Ads: Clunky and hard to use, loaded with ads like Groupon and makes it tough to find anything compared to Chase or Capital One
  23. [R75] Bilt Rewards 3/5 · US It's not too easy for use: I don't think this app is that easy to use.
  24. [R79] Bilt Rewards 1/5 · US Bilt Blue Card: The advertising for the $100 Bilt Cash sign-up bonus does not clearly communicate the practical limitations of the promotion. Much of the Bilt Cash is issued as promotional credits that have expiration dates and redemption restrictions. The default rewards settings can automatically apply Bilt Cash toward rent payments without clearly asking for confirmation. Approximately $58 in
  25. [R102] Bilt Rewards 3/5 · US Some improvements: It’s not bad. I feel like the points should be worth more. Also the fee to use your own card is way too expensive!
  26. [R113] Bilt Rewards 1/5 · US Pésima aplicación: Muy mala esta aplicación ya que me cobra el 3%, la peor aplicación para pagar renta que he visto y que no hay otra opción
