I have waited over a year for my cashback to be paid out. Purchase I made in March & April 2020 have lots been paid out as of late August 2021. Numerous requests to customer service just lead to worthless responses that they are still working to get these paid out and will update me. GFY after over a year of these responses. And I was a paying member! This app used to be decent and provide a service back when retailers would honor price drops and you could get adjustments-Earny would alert you to that. Since that stopped a year ago, this app is useless. I warn everyone-never download this thinking you’ll ever see the money or increase cash back they offer. ITS A SCAM. That’s all I can surmise at this point. ### 1/5 — Dishonest and Dysfunctional App *2020-09-09, version 4.4.12* Don’t get this app. Several weeks ago I downloaded the app and was charged a full subscription price of $20. Since then, I’ve received no benefit - in fact, it’s been a huge headache and a customer service NIGHTMARE. I used their Uber Eats promotion to order food. The promotion promised 5.3% cash back. It’s now been a month since that transaction and I’ve been following up with customer service almost daily to find out why I haven’t received the cash back. They continue to say that they are looking into it. I’ve asked for a refund of my subscription because they are NOT following through on their promised services and they’ve denied it. They’ve done absolutely nothing to hold up their end of the bargain and now I’ve lost $20 in the subscription fee, plus any cash back k could have gotten from SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER APPS like Dosh and Rakuten. Trust me on this, both of those apps are better. Do not download Earny! ### 1/5 — Bait and switch app *2020-03-31, version 4.3.4* Used to have this app when they took a percentage of what they saved you. I buy most of my items online and I saved hundreds through the app. The app though had constant issues storing credit card info and loosing it or canceling it. Many complaint and they did nothing, so I canceled it. My app ran in the background and since they switched to a flat mo they fee I get constant emails or pop ups saying you could have saved $X here or $X there etc. so I decide to try it again and I reactive stuff the new mo thot fee. Since I activated my membership, ZERO TEXTS, POP UPS OR EMAILS SAYING THEY CAN SAVE ME MONEY! NONE! and now they say they no longer offer price march from credit cards like they used to. So I can save tons of money and you flaunt it, then I sign up you take my money and two months later I have not saved a single penny nor received a single email text or pop up now saying they can save me anything... bait and switch... horrible ### 1/5 — Total BS and a Scam! *2019-09-13, version 3.7.5* Over promises and under deliver!!! I make tons of purchases and have never received a penny from this app. The one time I was to get a $10 cash back for a purchase, I spent about 20-30 minutes with a rep to get the cash back, but never received the money. For months it was “being processed.” A few weeks ago I got an email saying I needed to re-link my card. Now I’m getting emails notifying me that I need to log in or else my account will be closed. I logged in, but continue to receive the same notifications. Also, now when I log in, I can’t see my transactions, not even old ones. Still haven’t received my $10 that I was suppose to receive and it has been about 9 months! Definitely, don’t give this app/company your private info. I’d love to post pictures of the crap that reflects on my app. ### 1/5 — Do Not Purchase Subscription *2019-08-21, version 3.7.1* We purchased the subscription for the app and were going to try it out for 30 days and if we don’t like it we get our money back. We were not getting our money back as advertised by their multiple emails. When we went to end our subscription, they were unable to because they sent us emails regarding potential refunds. Also to note, multiple credit cards are ending their price protection program. Only way for us to continue using Earny is getting another credit card. Funny thing is, Earny is still encouraging our card as one of their top cards to be used. I can see how it was beneficial in the past, but credit card companies are getting smart and this app will soon be no service to anyone. ### 4/5 — Earny has saved me $28 *2019-08-10, version 3.7.0* This is a great app, but sometimes it’ll tell you you’ve been credited and actually haven’t. I’ve be waiting for a $5.99 check to come in the mail for a month and still haven’t gotten it even though earny still took his %25 randomly all at once which almost caused me to overdraft. Overall, it’s still worth it making a few bucks even though your scammed every once & awhile. Technically I’ve gotten less than $15 even though the app claims otherwise and the only way to contact them is through email. Days go by and they, of course, tell me I have been credited what the app says I have. ### 1/5 — Not happy AT ALL *2019-06-20, version 3.4.11* At the beginning of June, I emailed customer service to cancel my subscription. I had to email them three times to cancel. I finally got an email back saying that my account was deleted. Two days ago, I received an email from Earny stating that they were unable to process my subscription, but I cancelled the subscription at the beginning of the month. This morning, I checked my checking account and Earny has taken money out of my account. I just purchased something online from Walmart and, just now, I’ve received an email saying Earny is tracking my purchase. I said to cancel my account. This app is taking money out of my account and tracking purchases through my email. Don’t download this app. The subscription fee is not worth it. The return isn’t worth the investment. I want my account deleted now. I wanted my account deleted at the beginning of the month. I don’t understand what the problem is. ### 2/5 — Like but needs a few updates/fixes on a couple issues & then I would really love this app *2019-06-09, version 3.4.10* So when I first started to use this app I really loved it!! I mean who wouldn’t? An app that is linked to your card so it knows what you’ve purchased and tracks it to see if the price of the item you bought has reduced in price and if so they make sure you get the difference back of that!! That’s awesome! But then I started to notice a little while back and is still continuing to do this, is I enter in my card information in order to “activate price protection” and submit it and then I’ll go back and look at the item and it never saved my card information so it still tells me “activate price protection” for every single transaction. So it’s not saving the information like it should in order to receive money back. And it now shows the wrong information for the “card ending in *xxxx” I have tried updating card info to see if it would link the correct card back on all my transactions; didn’t work. I even tried deleting and re-adding my card info; that didn’t work either so needless to say this app was amazing but unfortunately now it is useless for me since it’s not working like it should be. I’m assuming it’s a bug they need to fix on their end of things so hoping they do that quick so I can start using this app again and activate my subscription because I refuse to pay an annual payment on a subscription for an app that doesn’t work properly like beforehand... ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2019-05-21, version 3.4.6* This app is truly great! While I’m not saving hundreds of dollars or anything it does help to get back some of the money that i have overpaid on purchases just for having it. I don’t have to keep track of prices in order to get the discount. My only complaint would be that some credit card companies are tougher than others to get your refund and it can take a long time. Today’s refund is from 6 months ago, this is due to the credit card company, not the app. I’m thankful either way. So far I’ve gotten back around $50/year. ### 3/5 — So far so good but misses refunds sometimes *2019-02-13, version 3.1.2* I have been refunded on 3 items so far but I’ve seen 2 items that they failed to get money back on. Both were at least $7 each, had plenty of time left to be submitted, and were on a protected card. When I emailed them to ask why they didn’t submit these their response seemed like they didn’t understand what I was saying. Also, I got a new capital one quicksilver card. The reason picked this card was because it is a covered card according to Earny but only on the MasterCard platform. Capital one changed this card to the Visa platform a year ago but Earny customer service advised they could not change it. Kind of annoyed. ## Frequently asked questions about Earny ### What does Earny do?
