CheckoutSmart Grocery Cashback

I love this app and is my favourite cashback app. I have been using it since 2014 and have seen the app and the cashback amounts increased and the items have got better and better. I have claimed back just over a £1,000 in cashback. This app usually gives you the opportunity to try new products for free or at a reduced price. My advice is only buy items you like or would want to try so that the cashback is a bonus. Customer service is fast and fair. The reason why I haven’t given this app five stars is sometimes the free items are mid-week for 1-2 days only and the big stores near me don’t sell some of the products and it would be time consuming to get to a store that sells the item on a work day.

This is a great app for saving money on items and sometimes trying things for nothing. It’s only really a benefit if you either buy similar items and therefore your money saving purchase is just switching a brand or product type. There are sometimes some short lived items that you can actually buy/try for free. The only downside that drops it to 4/5 is that quite often the products are not available in all branches and I have found that even some of the biggest branches don’t stock the product. The app does list products only being in selected branches but then you find even those branches don’t stock the product.

I check this app every time I go shopping, offers change regularly and I often get something completely free or at least with a generous discount. Putting in the claim is very simple and just requires the receipt as proof. Receipts are processed quickly and the money then shows in my checkout smart account. I leave it there till it builds up to £20 and then withdraw it to my bank at zero cost, however for a small percentage it could be withdrawn at any time. I would highly recommend this app if, like me, you like to try new products at low or zero cost

I have enjoyed using the app initially. It was encouraging me to buy/try things i would never go for. Although when it come down to get your money that you’ve saved ,it’s different matter. You are being charged for withdrawal of the balance below £20...which is fine, I guess. You are then trying to build it up by buying more useless products. I was using the app every now and then so it took me a while to build the balance up...when I was about to withdraw the money I have saved allegedly...the funds have gone missing as I was taking apparently too long to build up the balance. When I have raised with CS they apologised for disappointment and that’s it-no money returned. At the end whole thing turned out to be a waste of money and no saving at all! Good job I haven’t gone mad on freebies offered by them-nothing is Free these days!!

It only takes minutes to upload a receipt and the money builds up quickly. I have the money paid into my bank account when it reaches £20 and earn about £120 a year. Sometimes the cashback is 100% so the grocery item is free, often it works out at half price, or maybe you just get 50p back. It is a good way of trying something new. Occasionally there is a problem, but it is sorted quickly and I sometimes use the Checkoutsmart Facebook page to ask questions.
