Hi, another user receiving a referral payment does not automatically mean that your account or your referral qualified for a reward. Every referral is reviewed individually based on the program requirements and security checks. We’re unable to identify your ratemate account from this review, so we cannot verify your eligibility or payment status. Without your username, there is no way for us to review your specific case. If you want us to investigate the payment you believe you’re owed, please contact us at support@ratemate.com with your username. We’ll review the account and provide you with the result.

HORRIBLE APP DO NOT FALL FOR FALSE REVIEW

Very low quality Customer Service do not stick to their own reward rules. They’ll lie to you manipulate you, and then even go as far as to telling you that the people that you’ve referred have not followed the rules nor read the first that they followed, but the person who referred you is the first person they followed, and they didn’t receive a reward neither nor did the person that signed up so it’s a big scam.

Every referral is evaluated under the same program requirements and security checks. Being someone’s first mate was only one of the requirements. A referral also had to complete the required ratings within the specified period, meet the age and US residency requirements, and both accounts had to pass our security checks. Another person receiving or not receiving a reward does not determine your own eligibility. We’re unable to identify your ratemate account from this review, so we cannot verify what happened in your specific case. Please email us at support@ratemate.com with your username. We’ll identify your account, review your referral history, and provide you with the specific result.

Refuses to pay.

Ratemate refuses to pay.
They’re refusing to pay me the $260 that’s owed to me from referrals. Each and every referral I had, was completed before October 5th. They sent me $140 for my first check, since the deadline of the week is on a Wednesday. Then the next week they sent me $540. I joined back in early September, and the referrals changes weren’t made until October 5th. And even still, they said ALL referrals completed before October 4th at 11:59pm still counts for the $20! I had a total of 48 referrals by then and now they’re trying to find loopholes and back track what they said. I keep track of ALL my referrals. I didn’t follow anyone back if they had already become mates with someone else for this exact reason. Also now they’re trying to back track what their referral program states, that if you joined back then, you still have a cap of $1k to get referrals with and now they’re removing their referral program because “they reached the milestone” for users, even though they’re not honoring what they said and a lot of people that joined back then hasn’t even reached the $1k referrals yet. They still owe me $280 and refuse to give me the rest of it and claim I’m only expecting $70 this Friday. You can also check their instagram comments and so many people are having the same issue, RateMate has even sen

Hi, we want to clarify several points in this review. You have received $770 in referral rewards from ratemate. We have reviewed your referral history with you multiple times, and our records do not show an additional payment owed. The $1,000 amount referenced in the referral program was a maximum earning limit, not a guaranteed payout. Every individual referral still had to meet all program requirements and pass our eligibility and security checks to earn a reward. The October 5 program update also did not automatically make every person invited before that date a $20 qualified referral. Eligibility and the applicable reward were determined by when a referral completed the requirements and qualified under the program rules. Some of the referrals included in your calculation did not meet all of those requirements, which is why your personal calculation differs from our records. We have provided the details of our review to you directly.

actually legit

got referred to this app by a friend, was on there for a couple of days, but I thought it wasn’t legit so I deleted the app, today I woke up to redeem $10 from ratemate! it truly works

I have a question

I have a question if I received my payment but it says delayed once I cash it out to PayPal is it still on the way?

No response!

They sent my money to a email address that I didn’t provide! And I made sure I screenshotted the entire conversation! And it’s insane to send $540 to a random email I didn’t provide and I sent over 20 messages and no response! My feelings are hurt and I am upset and I should be and you guys should understand

Response from developer

Hi, we understand why you’re upset, but we’d like to clarify one important point. The email address your reward was sent to was the email address entered when your ratemate account was originally created. It was not a random email address added by Ratemate. We’ve been in direct contact with you about this and have reviewed the full history of the issue. We’re taking care of it and will make sure you receive an update directly from us.

Came back to update! :)

I finally got paid but to the wrong email! I wrote you guys many of times. Please reply back when you can :)

Don’t download this app

I would give zero stars but it’s not an option. I’ve been with this app for 3 weeks now and did everything right but still haven’t been paid but people who signed up Monday was paid out today. So yall are definitely picking and choosing. It’s ridiculous to see people be paid 3 weeks in a row who got the app after you and I know I qualify because all my friends that have been paid did everything that I told them they had to do so it doesn’t make any sense

Response from developer

Hi, we want to be clear that we do not pick and choose who gets paid. Every account and referral is reviewed individually based on the program requirements and our security checks, so another user receiving a payment does not necessarily mean two accounts have the same eligibility status or review timeline. We’d be happy to look into your case directly. Please email us at support@ratemate.com with your ratemate username so we can identify your account and review what’s happening. We appreciate your patience and would like the opportunity to resolve this for you.

It does pay it’s legit

I received my money for joining and for referrals

Doesn’t pay

Ratemate picks and chooses who they want to pay. I’ve been waiting a week and a half for my payment and haven’t heard anything. Support is a joke.

Response from developer

Hi, we do not pick and choose who gets paid. Every referral is reviewed based on the same program requirements and security checks. In your case, our review identified referral activity that does not meet the requirements of the ratemate Referral Program, which is why some of your referrals have not qualified for payment. If you’d like more information about your specific case, please email us at support@ratemate.com with your ratemate username so we can identify your account and provide further details.

Scam

Remove this app if I could give them 0 stars I would, I prefer no one to download it either they will only pay you one time and the next time they suppose to pay they will say your referrals are fake… and don’t comment saying email or reach out to yall I’ve did that PLENTY of times by email and y’all app and no response so yea I will be contacting BBB as well

Response from developer

Hi, receiving a previous referral payment does not automatically mean that all future referrals will qualify. Every referral is reviewed individually and goes through our security checks before a reward is approved. If referral activity is flagged during this review, the related rewards may be placed on hold or determined to be ineligible. This process applies to all users and is not based on whether someone has been paid before. Unfortunately, we’re unable to identify your ratemate account from your App Store review. Please email us at support@ratemate.com with your ratemate username so we can locate your account and review your case directly.

They do pick and choose

There’s no way they do not pick and choose who they pay like they say they don’t. I also never received my sign-up bonus.

Response from developer

Hi, we do not pick and choose who gets paid. All rewards are reviewed based on the same program requirements and security checks. If you believe you qualified for a sign-up bonus or referral reward that you haven’t received, please email us at support@ratemate.com with your ratemate username. We’ll identify your account, review your specific case, and let you know the status of your rewards.

Don’t trust

Seems they are picking and choosing who to pay. I referred 50+ people and still have not got a message yet most of my referrals are getting paid. Highly unacceptable when I brought a lot of my friends and family to the app.

Response from developer

Hi, we checked your account and can confirm that your referral reward was issued on October 9, the same day you contacted us. Ratemate does not pick and choose who gets paid. Referral payments are processed based on eligibility and verification, and in your case, your reward was approved and paid in full. Please check the email associated with your ratemate account, including your spam or junk folder, for the payment notification. If you still can’t locate it, let us know and we’ll help you track it down.

Referral program is iffy

Was advised to contact support via email still no response! Terms are repeatedly changing each day! Still haven’t been paid out. Now they are saying you can only follow certain people. I’m filing a complaint with BBB. This is crazy

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and we’re glad you’re enjoying the discovery side of ratemate! You’re right that adding an email is optional for using ratemate. However, an email address is required to participate in the Referral Program so we can verify eligibility and process rewards securely. We’re working on making this distinction clearer in the app. If you’re missing a referral or bonus you believe you’re eligible for, please contact us at support@ratemate.com with your username and we’ll be happy to review it.

This app is great. It keeps to its word it really rewards you and it’s fun. I suggest you send it to all your friends and family. They would love it.

Referral program is iffy

I like the app bc it exposes you to things you may not know is in your area. However referral program is iffy. They say email is optional but you have to supply it to get your referrals n when you ask about it they tell you they can’t look up anything or tell you why you didn’t get your referrals or even you’re referrals bonus
