Kickback watches the price of everything you buy — and tells you the moment it drops. Retailers quietly cut prices all the time. If it happens while your return window is still open, you can return the item and rebuy it at the lower price, and the difference is yours. Almost nobody notices in time. Kickback does. HOW IT WORKS • Connect your email — Kickback finds your online orders automatically, with no receipt forwarding • Kickback re-checks the price of every order you make, every day it is still returnable • The moment a price drops, you get an alert with the exact amount you would save • Return and rebuy at the new price, and keep the difference BEFORE YOU BUY, TOO • The Kickback extension for Safari checks for a better price while you browse • It surfaces discount codes, including ones already sitting in your inbox PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Kickback looks through your inbox for order confirmations, and nothing else • Your email credentials are never shared with retailers • Disconnect your inbox at any time from Settings Kickback is free to try. A subscription keeps your orders monitored for as long as they are returnable. SUBSCRIPTION Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
