Decent product

Not a lot of participating vendors in the regions I live and travel. Fairly often the homepage does not load which means you can not select your vendor for the rebate. The discounts when you first join are great but over time they are so low it’s not worth the hassle. My usage goes down and then I get better offers. It becomes frustrating. But for little effort one should be able to get about $300 in rebates a year. Not bad.

I love it this app

I really like this app, it's just that some establishments like Popeyes don't give you your cash back

Not as good as it seems

At first seemed great as you can get money back on your purchases. After the first 2-3 purchases, rate at which you get back significantly decreases. Percentage back has never been as high as when I first used. Just keeps decreasing. Using Apple Pay and uploading a receipt has not worked. Did not get my money back.
