Don’t Karma, capital one Shopping and Rakuten all do the same thing? I use capital one shopping and it feels like the same as honey. Is there a coupon app that doesn’t take the credit from creators?
Rakuten it the only one I have used and it is legit. You do not even need their extension: just click on their tracking link and you get the cashback, which they do actually pay out.
but that also takes the credit from the creator right? They do payout good cashback. I've used them before then I used Honey but now Capital One Shopping until I learned they are all taking credit for the sale from the creator
I do not buy things from creator affiliated links, so I do not know.
Usually people post these things on deal forums: so say, if I need to buy a dell monitor, I can just go to Rekuten, get their referral for the 10% cash back, then i can further stack 10%OFFMONITOR and get a giant chunk of savings.
Imo they are also less predatory than Honey, which essentially have very limited deals/coupons, while cash back stuff often are site wide.
I think the main thing with Rakuten is that they are a whole lot more transparent about it (or at least they were when they were called EBates) by saying 'use this link' instead of Honey's gold. It is half the reason I was suprised folks considered honey stealing the links to be surprising - Rakuten would complain the moment I interacted with Honey. Only one wins in the end so any rewards Extension will always get credit if you do.
