CouponCabin: Coupon App

Great way to get some of that hard earned money back. Friends don’t let friends pay full retail! Payouts can some times be lengthy (+2 months) but your patience is worth higher payouts than similar services. One caveat: Don’t think about inviting friends and family over and shopping at the same time on the same WiFi network. This company will lock your account down and take away your earned cash if they see more than one person (even though they reside at a different address! They should know this, it’s in the profile) using the service on your WiFi network. That’s right, even though you are assisting one of their customers, helping them earn more profit, they don’t care and will pull the plug. I have personally reached out to the company to ask that they reconsider such a restrictive policy to no avail. So buyer beware and happy shopping.

Turns out it’s an elaborate bait and switch scam. At first you may receive cash back on smaller purchases but if you try for the larger amounts they will come up with an excuse not to honor it. I had the same thing happen to me that has happened to other reviewers. Won a rather large amount to use ($125 at Kohls) but after my purchase did not see any cash pending from Coupon Cabin. Contacted customer service (thru email, don’t think there is even a phone number- first red flag) and within a few minutes (second red flag) was told they had contacted Kohl’s and my order “was credited to a different website” and “like us, I’m sure you’d love to know who got credit for this order, but Kohl’s has a strict policy of not sharing this information with us” (too many red flags to count). This sounded very suspicious to me so I contacted Kohl’s and they confirmed that what Coupon Cabin told me was totally bogus. They said there was definitely proof of my purchase and they would not have told any other third party vendor what Coupon Cabin claimed they had said. Hopefully Kohl’s (and other stores) will get enough complaints that they stop partnering with CC altogether. I know from other reviews that once you dare to call them out your account will be deactivated, so I already just went ahead and deactivated it myself. Eventually word of mouth spreads and if enough people share their experiences we can stop this from happening to anyone else.

Was using Ebates then signed up for Coupon Cabin when a friend mentioned it. I would check both to see who offered more cash back before purchasing something, and oftentimes Coupon Cabin would beat Ebates (usually by .1%, but more is more, right?). Since Coupon Cabin said they paid whenever your balance reached $7, and Ebates only pays outs every few months, I would often go with Coupon Cabin. I had my first payment of about $9 through PayPal, but a little while after had about $50 in pending cash back through some serious after Christmas shopping that I wasn’t receiving through PayPal. Then I opened the Coupon Cabin app to a message saying my account had been deactivated and a list of potential reasons why — signing up for a bonus through another email, etc — none of which applied to me. I emailed asking for a specific reason for my account cancellation and still have not heard back after a few weeks. Definitely going to be strictly using Ebates from now on, as it’s been a much more reputable company in my experience.

I have no idea why I was terminated. I found the app to be very confusing and may have tried to sign on too many times through a previous email account. I was motivated by the real housewives to sign up and liked it, but now don’t feel so happy about it. I plan On leaving a one star review for this quick termination without really giving me more then 2 days to figure it out. I guess you have enough customers that you don’t need one more. I would have utilized your coupons and passed it on to my friends and family and now I definitely will not have positive things to say about it. It seems like 5 years ago the reviews were awesome and they have consistently gotten worse. Great marketing using Tinsley and the rest of the housewives- too bad Scott stopped caring about the actual service. He seems like a good guy- maybe he should get good people to manage his business while he finds a wife of his own. Tinsley will dump him if he is broke

I waited weeks to secure a deal that would be relevant to me as the coupons of interest continually sold out. I finally acquired a deal which involved $100 back at Macy’s for orders over $100 but the coupon was only good for four hours from the time of activation at which point it would expire. Not coincidentally, this short time window coincided during a time when Macy’s customer service was closed. Over the course of four hours, I tried to make 4 different purchases of 2 different merchandise items using two different credit cards, all of which were cancelled by Macy’s as soon as they were made. This was a giant waste of time and a deliberate misrepresentation of services, offered specifically at a time when resolution of he issue could not be addressed. Now the coupon has expired and I am unable to make any of the attempted purchases or try for a new coupon for a month. I would advise steering clear of this company.
