User Reviews for Earny: Money Back Savings App

Alright okay.

The app tracks your purchases based on certain store receipt. We frequently purchase from Target (one of the stores they track). Twice now, Earny has sent us an email saying they discovered a lower price for one item with steps on how to get the money back. The first time I followed the directions the very helpful Target CSR found more savings and credited me more the Earny had actually found. The second time around, Earny said one item had a lower price. I followed the directions again. The Target CSR credited that one item price difference. After I jumped off the chat with Target, I noticed there were 3 more items that needed a price adjustment. Both times Earny has only notified us of one item yet there’s been several. So a word of advise, before you contact the stores, double check there’s not more cash back options. On top of that Earny claimed they had got me a larger amount back...when in fact they only found .98 back not $6.00..that was the Target CSR. However, Earny will take back a percentage back of the total amount... Also, both times Earny has attached a copy of the purchase receipt and price difference just in case the store requests it...yet it has never been able to open while using on my phone. I think the concept is awesome but needs to be buffed for flaws.

Earny is Always at a Work for Me!

Earny keeps on working all the time! I think I am a fairly savvy shopper - I’m always looking for a good deal. I find that I just don’t have enough time or patience anymore to watch and wait for lower prices on line. And then along came a Earny! I saw it endorsed over a year ago on Good Morning America- I am very glad I was paying attention. I downloaded the app and attached my credit cards and Earny does all the work behind the scenes after the fact. I have received MANY cash back checks from my credit card company for price protection rebates! And they keep on coming as I am making more on line purchases I wish it would accept some more credit cards but I am thrilled with what I am getting!

Second refund on the same order!

I've gotten just over $2.00 back so far, not much but I also did absolutely nothing to get it back. If someone handed you two dollars you'd take it right?! As a stay at home mom every dollar counts. Earny is painless and awesome since it does literally everything for you no strings attached.Update: I've now gotten three refunds!! This is awesome because Christmas shopping in a budget is hard enough, you try and get the best deals on your own and nothing is worse than paying for something only to see it go in sale the next week. Earny takes the work out of shopping around and makes sure you pay the lowest price. Couldn't be happier.Another update: earny just got me back another .51 cents. Doesn't sound like a lot but I'm at almost 4.00 now and I didn't have to do a thing. And the best part is it automatically refund it to the card you used to purchase the product you overspent on.

Beware! Make sure you are the only email logged in on your device

I never signed up for this app. I return a lot of what I buy online—-I order multiple sizes, styles online and decide what to keep after they arrive. This app charges 25% for a finders fee. My son joined up, apparently myself and 4 others had used our email on his phone over the years and had not logged out. Earny signed up all of us, without checking with any of us. I found out when I got got a ‘refund’ of $13, they send an email to businesses saying they are you—now my son who had the app will get a bill for $25% of $13. I called the business that earned got the credit from and had them reverse the credit. Creepy, in this case as they sent an email saying they were me without my knowledge. Only great if you never return anything! Because if they ‘find’ a lower price and then you return the item you will lose 25% of what they ‘saved’ you for their fee!

Like but needs a few updates/fixes on a couple issues & then I would really love this app

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...

Felt Scammed

I kept being charged by Earny, but didn't receive anything in the mail. So I reached out to their support team and found out all the claims Earny submitted for me had the wrong info. Earny gave me a website link and told me to go track down the lost checks myself. It’s like your accountant messed up your taxes, charged you anyways and gave your IRS’s website and told you to figure out yourself. Anyhow, since the tots of the checks was less than $30, I figured it wasn't worth the trouble, as long as Earny continues to work in the future. But NO, there's no more claims even when I noticed a significant drop in one of the items it's tracking. AND I was charged again by Earny even though there hasn't been any claims. Honestly, I really wanted to like the service and when I started using it I told all my friends about it. Now I feel embarrassed telling them about this unreliable app that just kept charging me for services they never provided.

Sketchy app- beware

I’ve had nothing but problems with Earny. I wrote them three times because they kept telling me card wasn’t linked, even though I had it linked it multiple times. I never got a solid response until I complained that the $50+ worth of rebates that said “claiming” in app were never claimed. Come to find out after reaching out again they couldn’t login to my card account. Why wasn’t I told this one of the THREE times I previously reached out? Ridiculous, and they did nothing to make up for the money I missed out on. Not only that, but I physically went into a target store myself and got a price rewind because a hair dryer I bought the previous week went on sale for $18 less. Target refunded me the difference, and then low and behold I got an email from Earny saying THEY got me $18 back and I’d be charged. LOL really? All because my card was linked and they saw I got a refund? Was Earny in the store with me? No. Did Earny do ANYTHING for me? No. But by all means, please charge me for doing nothing. That’s fraud, Earny. Nice try tho.

So far so good

Really haven’t given this app its all, meaning I haven’t added credit card or anything else put downloading and signing on, I understand a app or business needs to make money but the more I look into this the amount they charge so far has stopped me from going all in, I appreciate the .67 cent savings, but I wrote this to save .16 and more of the point, had this app just there for about 6 months, I will look into it more and see how much it will benefit me. As of now I have been using another app that doesn’t cost or charge anything, seeing the difference between the two, sometimes paying for a service is better. When it’s .10 and .25, who knows, I will rate again when I give this app more of a chance by going with everything it has to offer just really hesitant when you have to use credit cards. That is way to much of me monitor so I am not getting ripped off for .67 in savings or the average $280 a year, guess I need more trust. Other than that thank you for the savings and I will look more into it.

Much better than before

Having been an Earny user for about 2 years now, I can honestly say that the last few updates have improved this app tremendously. I used to always have issues linking my credit cards which invariably caused me to miss out on potential refunds. However, this issue has been resolved as of this writing. Another now-fixed Earny glitch was now pending refund claims seemed to get stuck in claim-limbo and would show as pending for months and months with no change in the claim status, let alone actually getting users their money back. Now, if additional info or user action is required on an Earny-initiated claim, you get an email with clear, straightforward instructions that breakdown what the user must do in order for Earny to move forward with a claim. Sometimes it’s as easy as copy-and-pasting some text into an agent chat or email and hitting send... My only suggestion to improve Earny at this time would involve clearer directions or communication to MasterCard users after they’ve submitted the requisite PIN to Earny; I received 1-2 emails from the MasterCard people about my claim after Earny got my refund claim PIN and thought that I was going to have to do more work and respond to their documentation requests myself. Fortunately, Earny took care of all that FOR ME because I likely wouldn’t have pursued the matter on my own and ultimately would’ve left money on the table.

Unexpected but delighted

I’ve downloaded Earny a while back but realized that the credit card spend it can track and represent was limited. I’ve been using more of my Amex recently so I’ve received emails saying that I’ve could’ve gotten a refund but I’ve used the wrong card. Recently I’ve noticed Earny emails sent to Walmart on my behalf requesting for a price adjustment. This was certainly a pleasant surprise and i had used my Amex to purchase the order. Needless to say it was unexpected but I was delighted to see this app in action. Yesterday I received an email stating that I could be eligible for a refund from Target however they require a live chat. So the email provided the link to the Target chat, verbiage I should include and also screenshots of the sale item to claim the price adjustment for. I successfully got back about $12 on two items which is awesome!! Thank you Earny! I went home and started talking about Earny to my family!!
