Earny Reviews

I’ve had nothing but problems with this app. 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 this app 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 this app in the store with me? No. Did this app do ANYTHING for me? No. But by all means, please charge me for doing nothing. That’s fraud, this app. Nice try tho.

Don’t get Earny. Several weeks ago I downloaded Earny and was charged a full subscription price of $20. Since then, I’ve received no benefit - in fact, it’s been a huge headache and a customer service NIGHTMARE. I used their Uber Eats promotion to order food. The promotion promised 5.3% cash back. It’s now been a month since that transaction and I’ve been following up with customer service almost daily to find out why I haven’t received the cash back. They continue to say that they are looking into it. I’ve asked for a refund of my subscription because they are NOT following through on their promised services and they’ve denied it. They’ve done absolutely nothing to hold up their end of the bargain and now I’ve lost $20 in the subscription fee, plus any cash back k could have gotten from SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER APPS like Dosh and Rakuten. Trust me on this, both of those apps are better. Do not download this app!

I kept being charged by this app, but didn't receive anything in the mail. So I reached out to their support team and found out all the claims this app submitted for me had the wrong info. this app 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 this app 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 this app 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.

Have to give full access to your email account, CANNOT PHYSICALLY REMOVE CREDIT CARD, have had for months and got ZERO refunds, got an email from a store that I had bought an item online at stating that my order had been cancelled as requested (showed an email that apparently “I had written”) and it found out after some research that this app contacts vendors FROM YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT without your knowledge. In attempting to get me a “refund” Earny actually somehow managed to cancel my order entirely.”

UPDATE- Removed my account to ensure that my info was removed, it confirmed and was successful. Tested it by trying to log back in and was instantly brought right back into it (didn’t even put credentials into Earny , just selected my email provider). I then tried to remove my account again and have been given an error message every time even after closing app and going back in. WILL NOT LET ME REMOVE MY INFORMATION.

I never signed up for Earny. I return a lot of what I buy online—-I order multiple sizes, styles online and decide what to keep after they arrive. Earny 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. this app 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 Earny 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!

Used to have Earny when they took a percentage of what they saved you. I buy most of my items online and I saved hundreds through Earny . Earny though had constant issues storing credit card info and loosing it or canceling it. Many complaint and they did nothing, so I canceled it. My app ran in the background and since they switched to a flat mo they fee I get constant emails or pop ups saying you could have saved $X here or $X there etc. so I decide to try it again and I reactive stuff the new mo thot fee. Since I activated my membership, ZERO TEXTS, POP UPS OR EMAILS SAYING THEY CAN SAVE ME MONEY! NONE! and now they say they no longer offer price march from credit cards like they used to. So I can save tons of money and you flaunt it, then I sign up you take my money and two months later I have not saved a single penny nor received a single email text or pop up now saying they can save me anything... bait and switch... horrible

At the beginning of June, I emailed customer service to cancel my subscription. I had to email them three times to cancel. I finally got an email back saying that my account was deleted. Two days ago, I received an email from this app stating that they were unable to process my subscription, but I cancelled the subscription at the beginning of the month. This morning, I checked my checking account and this app has taken money out of my account. I just purchased something online from Walmart and, just now, I’ve received an email saying this app is tracking my purchase. I said to cancel my account. Earny is taking money out of my account and tracking purchases through my email.

Don’t download Earny. The subscription fee is not worth it. The return isn’t worth the investment. I want my account deleted now. I wanted my account deleted at the beginning of the month. I don’t understand what the problem is.

So when I first started to use Earny 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 Earny 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 Earny 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...

Earny tracks your purchases based on certain store receipt. We frequently purchase from Target (one of the stores they track). Twice now, this app 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 this app had actually found. The second time around, this app 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 this app 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 this app 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, this app will take back a percentage back of the total amount...

Also, both times this app 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.

I've been trying to use Earny for about 6 months. I would always receive alerts that prices dropped and they were working on recovering differences but I've NEVER received a refund until now. And this was not automatic. Instead I received an email from this app notifying me to contact target directly to get a refund. I did that through The conveniently provided link to chat and it paid off. Earny could be great but for me it's more disappointing then anything. It flags you down and makes you aware of money it never recover like it advertises to do. I appreciate the $5 though. Wrote the review so they could waive their service now🙄. Work out the kinks and it'll be worth the memory space on my phone.
Thanks

Pretty simple to set up and use. Wish they could do price checks on more credit cards as they only have certain banks or they offer to get you another credit card which I don’t need. I hate how it wants you to invite your friends and you cannot get rid of that bar otherwise I would probably give it 5 stars. App is otherwise pretty intuitive and easy to use. It saves some money from time to time and automatically puts it to a designated card, but I wish you had the option to do PayPal or something else. I guess I can’t complain too much as long as they keep the credit card and personal information safe and gives me some cash back every once in awhile.

Really haven’t given Earny 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 Earny 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 Earny 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.

I’ve been using Earny for a while now and it has been great. I love that you don’t have to worry about anything. I love to shop. Most of my purchases are online just because it’s more convenient than getting in your car, finding parking and waiting in line. My purchases automatically get listed on Earny . I don’t need to do any price matching because this app takes care of it for me. I’ll receive a credit on my debit or credit card or get a gift card in the mail and not know why and remember that this app has done it again and gotten me back some money. Love Earny!! Keep up the great work!

If your card does not have price protection nor do the vendors the developers list, you won’t really be able to benefit from this app. However, it is quite an indulgence otherwise.
For several reasons, this app is a great friend to me. One, he’s a subtle reminder of the great benefits I was previously oblivious to. Second, he is constantly working and trying to help you reap such benefits. Third, he receives a minor fee for an inconvenience, which is well deserved in my opinion.
The only catch for me was the 10 dollar limit of cashing in of referrals. Of course, something of a minor inconvenience.
Anyhow, what a lovely idea. Well deserved success and I wish you more in your future endeavors.

I have only been using this app for a few weeks and have received more than $15 in refunds. The process is seamless - you will receive a notification on your device and an email that a refund has been requested. No action on by the user once the credit card has been registered....update
After three months the refunds keep coming in with about $100 in aggregate. I have had one instance when I need to provide a credit card statement to the company that processes the refunds for Chase. That was easy - two minutes to upload it to a website. this app's fees are reasonable. I will continue using Earny ....keeps generating refunds

This is so easy and amazing. I saw this in GMA one day and installed it right away. The only downfall for me is my daily credit card isn’t working with this app so I am not getting as much back as I could be. I am in the process of calculating my possible average returns with this app vs the current rewards on my current credit card. Based on my findings I may switch companies. Even without getting back everything I could I still get back from companies that price match and this app does find those for me. UPDATE switched credit card companies and it runs so much smoother. The best part of all of this is I don’t have to do a thing I just watch the refunds roll in.

this app 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 this app! I saw it endorsed over a year ago on Good Morning America- I am very glad I was paying attention. I downloaded Earny and attached my credit cards and this app 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!

I’ve downloaded this app 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 this app 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 Earny 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 this app! I went home and started talking about this app to my family!!

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. this app 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. this app takes the work out of shopping around and makes sure you pay the lowest price. Couldn't be happier.

Another update: this app 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.

It took me months from hearing about this app to actually downloading Earny ... I don’t know why I waited! Within 2 weeks, I’ve earned back $9, and I didn’t do a thing! Another neat feature that I liked, one of my earnings came from Target but I guess you as the buyer have to chat with Target before being issued your price adjustment refund. Well this app notified me about a $2 Target savings via email, told me I had to chat online to get refund, and they had already written out a full script for me to copy and paste. I did that and no other questions were asked, Target chat just said Ok and issued me the $2 back. I was impressed. Highly recommend Earny!
