I actually shop with now that I have signed up and I have this app. It basically sends me to stores to use the cash that I’ve earned to stores that I would never shop at like Lands’ End or anthropology or just stores that to me are not appealing whatsoever so where is the actual discounts that I used to get like I used to get 15% off at my favorite brand which is L’ AGENCe? So I feel disappointed that I signed up and I don’t get these good percentages off of that retailer. What is the point of this if I can’t use the cashback wherever I want ### 2/5 — Extension link *2026-01-29, version 2.0.26* Linked extension with safari multiple times and it still says I haven’t ### 2/5 — Review *2025-06-12, version 1.10.66* This was an amazing app that did me so much justice until it didn’t no more. eventually it signed me out and never let me sign back into my account and ended up glitching to where i couldn’t even use it no more ### 3/5 — It won’t let me create an account *2025-05-24, version 1.10.66* Whenever I try to create an account, I get to step 2/4 and after if fill out all of the boxes correctly it doesn’t let me click continue and I’m just stuck on the screen. Please fix this ### 1/5 — Cant create an account with just email *2025-05-21, version 1.10.66* Immediately deleted. Why do I have to give you access to my email? I don’t need ANOTHER thing tracking my packages. ### 1/5 — Didn’t apply best possible code *2025-05-16, version 1.10.66* Downloaded for a specific purchase and even though they had the best code, it says it will apply the best one possible but it only applies a $10 off when another code would take $25 off. Can’t trust it to apply the best one it is informed of ### 1/5 — No discounts applied *2025-03-26, version 1.10.48* The listed discounts said they would be auto applied at checkout and nothing was applied so don’t believe the nonsense stick with apps that actually work. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Gift card hasn’t processed *2024-12-28, version 1.10.42* During the holidays yall was doing a promotion for every person who signed up with our code we get $5. I had numerous of people sign up and once I tried to redeem my gift card it won’t let me. I emailed support about this issue and it’s going on two months with nothing resolved, and checkmate keep sending the same generated email that they will respond in 24-72 hours and NEVER DO ### 5/5 — Unreal savings *2024-12-27, version 1.10.42* I can’t believe how much I saved using Checkmate. So awesome ### 5/5 — l’m getting a hang of it *2024-12-24, version 1.10.42* but l’ma keep trying ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Requires fishy ID process *2026-07-15, version 2.1.0* In order to get your cash back, you have to verify your identity through Veriff. This is not standard for this kind of extension and I’ve used several alternatives that never asked for ID verification. Further, the company they use for verification, Veriff, has 1.3/5 stars on Trustpilot and is based in Estonia. They had a data leak in late 2025 that exposed people’s license pictures and personal data. I’d love to be able to get cash back through this platform but it’s unfortunately not worth the risks of providing my ID. ### 1/5 — Codes stopped working on Stanley *2026-03-09, version 2.0.50* Boo! Codes no longer work on Stanley1913.com, which was the only reason I used app. Deleted app after finding it no longer generated coupon codes for this site. ### 1/5 — bad *2026-03-03, version 2.0.46* only downloaded the app to get a discount code for a certain shop and it will not let me access them claiming to not work with the website yet it is advertised to work for it ### 1/5 — Can’t even start *2026-02-20, version 2.0.32* I enabled all permissions followed instructions and no go ### 1/5 — None of the codes work *2026-02-12, version 2.0.26* None of the codes work for the website that I’m trying to buy from. I’ve reached out via email because there’s no phone number four times yet no response from anybody. If I could give it zero stars I would. ### 1/5 — Not Worth the download *2026-01-15, version 2.0.26* Every Item I buy and check with checkmate any savings it always says “You got the best deal”. Honestly not worth any storage on my phone. ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-10-23, version 2.0.14* Scary app that takes all your personal data and emails, and the app is super janky. Also the extension is super annoying ### 1/5 — i had a hunch *2025-07-29, version 1.10.66* of course ill give you my information just for you to not have coupons that you said you have! ### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign in *2025-07-24, version 1.10.66* I am stuck on a sign-in page and there is no way to get out. I have tried restarting the app. ### 1/5 — Scam Alert! *2025-07-11, version 1.10.66* It does not work until you give all the permission to the app that collects your data ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-27, version 2.1.32* Gets me the best deals ever and if not truss it’s hardest and time to go through all codes available ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2026-07-08, version 2.1.0* I love this app because you earn cash back by adding the browser extension to your iPhone in safari and I highly recommend this app to the world!! ### 5/5 — Service *2026-06-28, version 2.0.79* Great app easy download save on thousands of items thanks checkmate ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-06-14, version 2.0.78* Great app love it ### 5/5 — My opinion *2026-03-05, version 2.0.50* This app is cool because i use it a lot to buy clothing and shoes off of nike and fashion nova rate it 5/5 ### 5/5 — Checkmate *2026-01-28, version 2.0.26* Great app ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2025-11-18, version 2.0.16* Yes. 5 stars.
