### 3/5 — Website and app don’t communicate.

*2025-11-06*

The website and the app do not speak to each other. I am able to login online, but the app constantly says no account found. I have tried multiple times to chat with support but keep being left on read.

### 3/5 — Slow!

*2025-09-06, version 1.5.2*

Updating my review: the service works better through my employers computer however, it’s still a bit slower and quirky than I would like it to be. Still would be nice to see an option where perkspot gives a discount code that we can use directly on the retailers site instead of having to go through their portal. That said the app is still virtually useless.

### 4/5 — App not working

*2024-01-25*

Tried getting in and the only thing I see is the blank page “ you’re on your way to saving” frozen.

Edit: customer service were quick to respond back and help with the technological issue.

### 1/5 — Buggy and dysfunctional

*2023-12-29, version 1.2.10*

Terrible app

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2023-09-25*

The app itself lacks basic functionality. You can browse discounts but then when you click on anything it will bring you to the browser to continue. The app and website is plagued with technical issues that will not allow you to purchase anything anyway. Customer service basically just reads off a script and is not any help whatsoever. When I was having errors trying to purchase tickets for a theme park, customer service suggested I go buy my tickets elsewhere not on the site. So even customer support knows this app and website is trash. Would give 0 stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Horrible app, and website on phones

*2023-09-08, version 1.2.10*

Better only use PerkSpot on a computer. The app and mobile sites are really bad.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2023-07-09, version 1.2.10*

App has not worked for several months now. Welcome screen is stuck on “You’re on your way to saving!” No response from developers. Deleting off my phone.

### 1/5 — Do not work

*2023-07-07, version 1.2.10*

Dose not work

### 1/5 — Scamming hard workers

*2023-06-28*

They lure you with the promise of saving a few bucks and I mean that literally. If you book a hotel make sure that it’s the one you want and it’s on the days you want, because you’re NOT getting your money back and they can’t change the reservation in ANY way. Then when you call they tell you to call someone else and they tell you to call someone else and so you get the picture. So I’ve  learned a $300 lesson. I paid $300 for a room that I did not stay in and saved $8 and some change booking. I work hard for my money and for some reason it’s legal to trap hard working people into these scams just because they wanted to save a “few dollars” and they don’t care. Never will I ever use this again. I feel as though I was robbed in front of a crowd. From here on out I’ll pay full price with the option to change on my own terms.

### 3/5 — App doesn’t work anymore

*2023-06-10*

I updated my app that I’ve been using for years and now it stays on the welcome screen “you’re on your way to saving!” And doesn’t move. Obviously the most recent comments all say this I would like to know when it will be fixed.

### 1/5 — App stays on the same screen

*2023-06-04, version 1.2.10*

App stays on the “you’re on your way to saving” forever

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2023-04-09, version 1.2.10*

I was excited about this app to get discounts through my employer. However, after downloading it was stuck on the first page a “ a thousand great ways to save “ or something like that.  Super bummed it didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Works on browser but not on the app.

*2023-03-23, version 1.2.10*

After logging into PerkSpot, it will stay on the page you’re on your way to savings and that’s it. Nothing else no savings no categories nothing. On the browser it works just fine, but not on the app.

### 1/5 — Keep taking to website

*2023-03-15, version 1.2.10*

Whatever you click it takes to website on browser, not sure what is the point of having an app then.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2023-01-16, version 1.2.10*

Every time I open the app it says “ you’re on your way to savings.” “ thousands of exclusive deals are waiting.” On the screen and that’s it! I deleted the app and re-download it, and it still does the same thing

### 1/5 — Stay in the app

*2022-08-27*

What is the point of making the app take you to the website to sign to complete transactions after you’ve already signed in on the app? Keep all functionality on the app. I can just use the website without wasting space on my phone with this pointless app. Thanks

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2022-07-08, version 1.2.6*

I sign in on the login page, and then I’m redirected to the apps main page where it still wants me to sign in again. Won’t access my account

### 1/5 — Useless company benefit

*2026-03-20, version 1.8.8*

If you use this app, you are almost guaranteed to pay more than not using it at all. What a worthless benefit to offer your employees.   I would be skeptical to work for any company that offered this as a perk.

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2025-10-31, version 1.5.2*

You can’t even search on this app it always says that there’s a loading error and even when you try and look up most used perks or really anything on there there’s typically an error message.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work & discounts? Not really

*2025-10-30*

The app doesn’t work. I never allow location service for app and I tried to input the city I live in the app stopped working. Just a blurry mess. Then it stopped letting me search. I restarted the app nothing. I went to categories to check to see if discounts are legit. They aren’t. They say % off but if you go to that companies page it’s the same price and sometimes less. Always verify.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-10-29, version 1.5.2*

This app is terrible and so glitchy. The discounts are nice if you can actually get them to work.

### 1/5 — Why

*2025-08-04, version 1.5.1*

Web based app. What’s the point of it???

### 1/5 — Beware of this service

*2025-07-02*

I’ve found that some items on with this service are more expensive than just buying them directly from the retailer. Example: I checked out the EPP website for buying a new iPhone. I checked out several items and most were the same price as you would find directly from the Apple website, and with some items, they were actually more expensive than buying directly from the Apple website. I’ve used the EPP from a previous employer and there was a savings of 10-20% on most if not all items, so I know there should actually be a savings with this EPP website. Beware of anything you purchase with this service, and check the retailer first before making any purchase here.

### 1/5 — Why in 2025 is this app so trash?

*2025-05-31, version 1.3.10*

Embarrassing

### 1/5 — Won’t update/download

*2025-05-27, version 1.3.10*

It’s forcing me to update the app, but then when I try to update it, nothing happens- unusable. Can’t get into it because I get stuck at downloading updated app stage and it doesn’t download

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2025-01-16, version 1.3.0*

Once i sign in the website doesnt redirect me back to the app therefore not logging me in

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2024-07-02*

Had it for less than 3 months and it stopped working. Getting the “you're on your way to saving” email. Disappointed because this has been a problem for over a year and it continues to be a problem.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Compounded deals!

*2025-11-26*

Black Friday sales are on now, so prices are competitive everywhere. A few items are less elsewhere or the same as Perkspot (watch for shipping costs), but there are deals here no one can beat - example 15% off the best price I can find anywhere for a Ninja smart doublestack xl. I have found that the deals through Perkspot may not be there tomorrow, so pay attention to the end dates for both the Perkspot deal and the product website. I’m loving Perkspot!

### 5/5 — Great money saver

*2025-06-05*

I have been using this app for a while now and it’s been great for day to day online shopping, I love the updated look and can’t recommend this enough.

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2025-02-28, version 1.3.3*

Thank you 🤍

### 5/5 — Great, now that I have deals at my fingertips!

*2022-04-22*

I’ve always love using PerkSpot because it gives me all kinds of deals and discounts. Now that it has an app it’s great for buying things asap if you think about it on the go. Plus it also features the weekly or best deals for you that makes it easier not to miss something good!

### 5/5 — Real Savings

*2022-04-22, version 1.2.3*

I was able to leverage PerkSpot to book a weekend trip to New Orleans and saved $125 on the hotel rates. Awesome!

### 5/5 — Convenient way to get discounts

*2022-04-22*

I love the ease of having access to all the perkspot discounts when I’m not at my computer! Great discounts I can browse and access at any time.

### 5/5 — Straightforward benefits app

*2022-04-22, version 1.2.3*

Smooth mobile experience, makes it easy to redeem my discounts with clean design.

### 5/5 — Saved me hundreds of dollars

*2022-04-22*

Using the PerkSpot app is honestly second nature at this point before buying anything. It’s always worth checking out before a purchase because you never know how much you can save.

### 5/5 — So easy!

*2022-04-21*

Super easy to use and to find the best deals on everything I need. Extra handy for last-minute gifts when you’re on a budget.

### 5/5 — Love the easy access

*2022-04-21*

Great to be able to access my employee discounts on an app when I’m not logged into my work email. Makes it easier to remember to check for a discount before buying something.
