PRAISE GOD!! $200 SHOPPING SPREE =)

BECKY BENJAMIN, 2025-04-20

This extension works... When I remember to click on it, that is! Totally user error there. I have used this extension for several years and have always received the Cash Back I was promised. Does it pay the rent? No. But it takes a few bucks off something I was going to buy anyway. Give it an honest try and see how it works for you. Do be certain to check the Percentage Off - it can change from day to day. I looked at a favorite site one day and the percentage was 5%. The next day it was 16%!!! Shopping spree!!

This extension is a scam; it never once gave cashback for any purchases. The purchases that it said it would apply to don't even show up on the activity history within the extension. Don't bother.
