Hi there, thank you for your feedback! With H&R Block, they set the prices of their products on their site. With store retailers, they might be able to offer a lower price based on their agreements as they are selling their products to consumers as a third party. We apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused with purchasing the H&R Block product on their site but if you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at support@retailmenot.com.

complete fraud!

They initially kept their promise and gave cash back for ~80% of the offer activated. But lately (last 2-3 months), they completely stopped processing any activated offer. I contacted their customer service, but they said 45 days are needed to process a cash back, but in reality more than 90 days have passed and never got cash back for any purchase. Turned out to be a complete fraud!

RetailMeNot displaying NON Existent Offers

RetailMeNot displayed a promotion for $50 off at HotTubWorks. When I contacted the company, they new nothing about it. RMN should back up any offers they display on their site. Wont use it anymore because who knows if the offers are legit or not. BAD business practice, trading credibility for traffic. Need to contact FTC. re false advertising...

How many other fake ads are on the site I wonder.

Hi Jock, we're sorry to hear about this experience that you had with using an offer for Hot Tub Works that you found on RetailMeNot. At this time, we do not have a direct partnership with Hot Tub Works so the codes on our site have all been user submitted. When we receive user content, the code or offer may be valid at the time of submission however, there are often no expiration dates with those offers. That does not allow for the invalid offers to come down when necessary. We will have our moderation team review this page and remove that invalid content. If you have any other question or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly at support@retailmenot.com.

Hi Julie, we're sorry to hear that you were not able to access the Venmo option when choosing to redeem your rewards. We did experience a temporary outage with Venmo earlier this month however, that has now been resolved. Also, if you are using an older version of our mobile app, that option will not be visible to you so we do recommend downloading the newer version of our app or visiting your RetailMeNot profile through your mobile browser so that the option is visible to you. If you have any other questions, please contact us either at https://help.retailmenot.com/s/ or directly at support@retailmenot.com.

I installed the extension today and was SUPER excited as I often use Chewy.com and have more than one pet so I always end up spending SO MUCH MONEY THERE. I ALWAYS LOOK UP CODES TO use as I am always on the hunt to save money and I noticed that on the Retailmenot website, there was several very good coupons for Chewy.I did not hesitate to get the extension and login in all just to COMPLETELY WASTE MY TIME. This is exactly like HONEY who also claims they find all the codes and apply them. I have never gotten neither to apply the codes right so I am getting ready to delete both of these pieces of PURE GRADE A CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have contacted retailmenot multiple occasions to remove me from their mailing list and they do not respond. Under the CCPA, I will be seeking compensation as these requests have repeatedly been ignored.

Frauds!!

**In response to the thieves- yet again a typical generic BS response as I clearly did not use my actual name for them to know who I am! They don't even respond to BBB complaints that speaks volumes! Disgusting! Steer real clear of these frauds!!!

The reviews speak volumes! Absolutely deplorable BS scam of a site....How many times does someone have to chase them for cashback that I am owed!!!! One scripted excuse after another with the most inept customer service, I'm looking at you Mark and Nolan!! Avoid these scammers like the plague they steal the cash back you are entitled to!!!! Thieves!!! Shut them down already!!

Hi Curly, we apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused by receiving emails from those email address. All communication from RetailMeNot does come with from an email address ending in an @retailmenot.com domain name. Any other emails claiming they are from RetailMeNot but do not come from an email ending in that domain are not legitimate emails and are phishing emails by fraudsters. We ask that you report those emails to us at support@retailmenot.com as well as mark them as spam in your inbox so that your email provider can begin to filter those emails out automatically.

RetailMeNot seems like a scam (REVISED)

AFter writing this review below, CS team finally resolved the issue, it was glitches in their software. Several months ago, CS team was so slow in responding and not helpful...something changed, and responses truly were within 24hrs, and they were very helpful. I upgraded my review from 1 star to 4 stars accordingly. The system still has glitches though, for example, I bought a bunch of stuff at Lowes, and one item was defective, I went into store and exchanged it for a new one. RetailMeNot showed the entire order was returned, and therefore would not give me my credits. They said I had to give them all receipts for review. but who can go through all this for $10? So beware, there will prob. always be some gltiches like this, but if the compnay continues on this path, hopefully it will be succuessful.... CS means everything when things go wrong.

RetailMeNot seems like a scam
I followed the rules perfeclty. I based my purchase decision on the cash back they offered... waited the 45 days, and NEVER got ANY of the cash back on the 3 purchases I tested the service on. Customer service takes forever to email you back, and so far, they cant resolve anything, despite them saying they could...

Unwanted Litter

Continues to send me advertisement litter, even after taking my address off their mailing list. Now it just says a different address on it. (They print the same amount for the post office to deliver - talked to them about it)

This has happened over multiple years over multiple locations.

Have to waste my time making sure a bill isn't lost between it's pages every time.

Hi No, we're sorry to hear that you are continuing to receive mailers after you requested to be unsubscribed. If the mailer does not have your address on it then then USPS should not be delivering to that address as it is not the correct recipient. Each unsubscribe request is specific to each address as we understand that the people living at that address can change and some might want the mailer while others might not. If you would like to email your mailing address to support@retailmenot.com then we would be happy to escalate the issue so that the post office is no longer delivering incorrect mail to you.

Update from 1 to 3 stars

Update: The company did "reinstate" my account so I have changed from 1 star to 3 stars. I will wait to see how easy it is to redeem the e-gift card before I change the rating to anything better than average.

I tried RetailMeNot after they were featured on the TODAY show and it was a complete joke. They are not giving you any deals...20% cash back = $0 because they refuse to pay, citing "...aggressive security measures in response to the recent creation of several new accounts." I only created ONE new account. If they meant in general, my question is how did they not anticipate being inundated by the creation of several new accounts when you make a point to be featured on the TODAY show? Perhaps they should rebrand as Brains-In-Our-Heads-Not.

For legitimate savings and excellent customer service use Rakuten. They are always quick to respond to inquiries and actually produce results and pay you!

I have made several attempts to redeem my rewards and have been unable to. I've had to have customer support place the money back to my account after it remained in limbo because it wouldn't go through to my PayPal account. I was told by customer service that my email for PayPal must be incorrect. I contacted PayPal and nothing is wrong with my account. I've been ache to use my account without any issues to send and receive money without issue except for the issue with RetailMeNot! I tried to redeem a gift card and once I hit submit an error screen came up. I am no longer able to see the credit cards available. Again...... Can't redeem!!! I have venmo and it had been active duty 2 years yet it's not an option, even though it's supposed to be on RetailMeNot. I've never had so many issues. I'm glad that I've been using Rakuten because there is never an issue with redeeming my cash back.

RetailMeNot created FAKE coupons codes…

RetailMeNot created FAKE coupons codes for our online store. These coupon codes never existed (in the 15 years I've been with my company). We've had customers who tried using these codes and have been taking it out on our company for "listing false advertising on RetailMeNot". I submitted a case to have all references to our company be removed from their site. Before you attempt to use one of their *FAKE* coupons, check with the actual company to verify the coupons are real.

Hi there, we're sorry for any frustrations that this may have caused you. We have removed the offers from our site. Users and community members have the ability to share offers on our site so any offers that were invalid might have been shared to us as we do not create any kind of offer for a merchant where we do not have a direct relationship. If you see any other offers that are fraudulent or invalid, please let us know at support@retailmenot.com.

I absolutely despise these!

I absolutely despise the red plum/retail me not everyday papers they are always such a mess, they are a waste, and clog up the mailboxes. I absolutely hate them. You can unsubscribe from them and then usually about a year later they’ll go ahead and resubscribe your address. They take it upon themselves to subscribe your address even though you yourself never signed up, it should be something that only people who want it can subscribe to. They shouldn’t force it down everybody’s throat’s

Hi Christy! We're sorry for any frustrations or inconveniences caused by receiving the RetailMeNot Everyday mailer. Once your address is removed from the distribution list, it does take 5-6 weeks for the mailer to stop completely and the removal is effective for 5 years. If you would like to contact us at support@retailmenot.com, we would be happy to further research your address.

Hi Steve! We're sorry for any issues that you have had with using offers on our site. Any of the offers that say that there is no coupon code needed are Sale Alerts which are promotions hosted directly on the merchant's site. Sometimes these offers can change without notice but you are always welcome to contact us so that we can give you more information about an offer.

They used to honor cash back

They used to honor cash back. My last two online cash back and in-store offers were not paid. I took a picture of receipt IN STORE and submitted it through app immediately. Somehow they claim it was not received. Do yourself a favor and USE EBATES (Rakuten). I have never had a problem getting paid from them. Now comes the generic reply email to contact customer services which has been done multiple times
