This extension is completely unrealiable. Something in Chrome triggers the ad blocker of the extention to go off when it's not on, and the instructions are followed to a tea. When I'm able to get through that hurdle, the sign on page won't let me sign in, indicating bad login info. If I'm able to get through those two things, it works for a few sites in general for offers, but after visiting a handful of sites the cycle of unrealiability starts all over again. So far, not worth the headache.

Tried to use on a few sites does not work to give the extra .1 percent. Leaves my info out on the chrome for others to steal

The good part, it was easy to install and log in. But I see no purpose for it. Search returns a very limited number of sites that will give cash back on "eligible" items. Once I get to the website I am usually presented with a popup that says I need to uninstall my adblocker (which is disabled). Some that don't say cash back, do offer cash back when you get to the site. Some that don't say anything about cashback on search page do present a popup when you get to the site, but there is that caveat of "eligible items" Once there, there is no way to see which items are eligible for cash back. On Amazon I get suggestions of other products which always cost more and sometimes are not really the same as what I am looking for. I can't see that this is worth it at all and giving up any thought of browsing history makes it a complete non starter for me. Not sure what fool at CITI bank designed this and thought it was a good idea. I deleted it.
