Dosh: Find Cash Back Deals Software

I was super excited about this app because of the local deals component and not having to go through their app to receive online rebates. It seemed super easy and the first couple times I used it, it was! I got notifications regarding my cash back within minutes of paying. Awesome! However, they have the worst customer service. I’ve had two different issues (one with a referral bonus and one with not receiving cash back for an in-store purchase) that I’ve reached out to their customer service email about (no phone number available) and I only received auto-replies about them being very busy and that responses may be delayed up to a week. Apparently, a week is more like never. I have never been contacted by an actual person nor have I been able to reach an actual person for help when I’ve tried. Their auto-replies say “if you do not respond to this email, we will assume your problem is resolved” and despite replying (several times), I still never heard back from anyone. This is super disappointing - mostly bc I was really excited about this app and hyped it up to colleagues only to run into these problems with no support. As a result, I will not be referring anyone else to this app in the future and will instead suggest similar programs like Ebates that actually give you your $ and have customer service that is much easier to work with!

By linking your credit and debit cards to this app, you automatically receive cash back when you use those cards at participating locations without having to first logon to their website or activate the app. This makes it extremely convenient but there are caveats. You have to swipe your debit card as credit or you don’t get the cash back and if you have an app to one of the restaurants, for example, where you accumulate loyalty points/rewards, you don’t get this app cash back if you pay through that app and, conversely, you don’t get the loyalty points/rewards if forego the app and pay with your card. So you have to choose. Other than that, transferring your cash to your bank account once you have enough accumulated is painless but is not immediate and will take a few days to show up, which is par for the course with other types of online transfers. My only desire is to see more participating locations, which will vary depending upon where you are and not always the same. I travel a lot between DC and New England and while most Dunkin’ locations in New England participate, not all in the DC area do, so you have to check the app. But wherever you are in the country, assuming you allow the app to know your location, it’ll show you participating merchants at your current location.

When you hear about someone’s account being stolen or altered, a lot of times you blame the person or think it wouldn’t happen to you. But , one day I was in my account , sharing and what not (mind you in the middle of the $10 referrals promo). Then my account knocks me out and I can’t log back in. So, November 4-5th I contact the company , not working . By the 13th, I contact the company via Facebook & they tell me to submit another ticket. I did . It’s December 3rd and no reply so I contact them via fb again. Finally the 4th I get a reply basically saying it’s nothing they can do. They said that my account is registered to another number , with a card linked , but the number on the account is not and never was mine. The only way to verify is if I verify my card info that is linked to my account . But , my thing is , why would I give a company more info , if you can’t even protect my account. No telling we had my account & the number used is disconnected . (Yes they gave me the full number) so if I was someone else asking for account info , it wouldn’t take much to get out of them. So the money available in my account will be forfeited in order for me to make a new account . I won’t be making a new account but I will be deleting the one they have now .
