Pretty awful extension to use. Clicking on it doesn't work unless you're logged in. Logging in all the time is a pain and doesn't save your details. Once you are in I can get excellent savings but the point of the extension is to get into the rewards website.

broken, logs you out now and doesnt save login

Used to work fine but now constantly pops up to sign itself out when you load an entirely unrelated website and it's sign in form blocks password managers so I uninstalled it. The scheme itself, excellent, but just use the site manually.
