Oh, you have stats about SD rebates? If $3 Million was the amount paid out - what was the amount in rebates filed for / requested by SD members? Or, what was the amount in denied and unpaid rebates? How many tickets were opened for support / research? How many of those tickets were actually resolved? How many of those tickets never got responded to at all?

Thanks in advance for your support and transparency.
The stat i mentioned was 3 million in products ordered through the new slickdeals rewards/cashback program not rebates.


I just asked the team, and here are the vast majority of reasons why rebates were declined, but I dont readily have access to the reports for rebates paid out but ill try and dig in there. I will say that the rebate team does respond to virtually all the tickets (its a ticketing system, so they are measured on their ability to respond/close tickets).

1. Users rebates became ineligible because they double dipped (whether intentionally or not) because they used another cashback site or similar. The merchant will not pay out both cashback and a rebate. Merchants are able to tell us if this happens and why they dont pay out.
2. Users made orders outside of the eligibility window. (people trying to claim credit for a rebate they already purchased before, or after the window - which is actually fraud.) Merchants are able to tell us when orders are placed and whether they are eligible.
3. Our rebate support staff then reaches out to users who have disputes and asks them for receipts/order numbers and many of those users do not respond with a receipt/order number and the tickets stay outstanding because they do not respond to them and we have no way of correlating a purchase without them.

That isnt to say sometimes there are mistakes in processing, but given proof we've paid out assuming everything else looks okay. Mostly the only reasons we dont pay out are because of those circumstances listed above.

But more importantly, the rewards program automates all of this, and the only reason why a user wouldnt get cashback is if they blocked/broke the affiliate links, or they used a competitor which took the cashback instead.

AJ, I am still missing my Macy's Rebate(s), I submitted more than 15 tickets so far, how many more tickets do I have to submit?? SD got paid by Macy's to run this promotion, why not pay us our $$$. SD owes me close to $30 in Macy's Rebate(s).

SD rebate was a Scam now SD rewards Scam, way to go SD.
We reached out to the rebate team regarding your rebates, and they found some outstanding tickets that have been awaiting your response for things like order numbers so we can look them up. You'll need to respond to them with those order numbers/proof of purchase so they can correlate the purchase to the rebate if you want them to resolve those tickets.

They also noted that some of your rebates were declined because they were outside of the eligibility window (purchase not made during a valid offer timespan) - a very valid reason for declining a rebate, or because another website got attribution, ie a competing cashback site or similar, where merchants will not pay out both a rebate and cashback (what they consider double dipping).

I will have them reach out to you again to resolve any outstanding issues and follow up to re-request order numbers, but there's nothing they can do to help without that information.

Please note that merchants will not pay out rebates for the scenarios where purchases were made outside of the eligibility window, or another competing affiliate got attribution, as merchants view that as double dipping, and it was clearly noted in the rebate instructions to avoid using other parties links, toolbars, etc. If slickdeals doesnt get attribution, we dont get the money to pay out the rebate.

That being said, I'm sure the team will do their best to try and resolve any outstanding issues or at least give you more information if you respond to those requests. I've made sure the team is hyperaware of your issue. If there were technical issues or extenuating circumstances I'm sure we can resolve it for you. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

We built Slickdeals Rewards from the ground up after speaking to our community about what didnt work with Rebates. This product is designed to be seamless, easy to track, and simple to redeem. I get that you have had some bad experiences with Rebates, but why not give this a try and let us know what you think? Its free so if you dont like it you dont have to keep using it.
Cuz it's only $3.

Ever since slickdeals was bought out by Goldman Sachs, it's all about making money and not about saving people money.

FYI

I provided requested information not once but more 10 times.

given how SD handled the rebates, I have full confidence the cashback will not be honored and dealing with SD support is a total waste of time

We built this as a response to the issues we saw with Rebates. If you dont give it a chance, we wont have the feedback we need to make it better. It's easy to blame past hiccups as why you wont try new things, but I hope you give it a shot and give us feedback we can turn into real value to our community.

We noticed the instructions for Cashback don't show up in Classic Mode. See below for details on how to get $3 cashback for this deal.

This Deal Works with Slickdeals Rewards (Cashback), on PC or Laptop Only:

- Install the Slickdeals Extension and follow the SD Rewards Prompts here
- Follow the prompts and Sign-in or Create a Slickdeals account after installation. You need to have an account to track and redeem your rewards
- IMPORTANT: In order for us to give you credit for your purchases you must disable ad blockers or whitelist the Slickdeals Extension. Also, if you use other cashback or coupon extensions, only the one you use last will get credit for your purchase, so if you want your Slickdeals Rewards points, please remember not to activate other extensions while shopping.
- Next go to the store and you should see a prompt stating the cashback you will receive. If not, open the extension and click "Activate Cashback"
- Proceed to checkout
- Track your purchases here: Rewards Redemption
- Note: Purchases can take up to 2 weeks to show up. We're working on speeding up this process as we continue to test out this Beta Program
I also do not see the "Exclusions" in this or in the OP. Redsolar put a link that doesn't work later in the thread. So...we need a working exclusions link put in this and or the OP.

We dont track our users, we built these products from the ground up with our very vocal community in mind. Users who download the extension and join Rewards are not being tracked like some other sites do. And as a bonus, we have paid out almost $100,000 to our shoppers in 2021 so far.
Then tell us exactly how this is monetized

do people really install this so that SD can track them? lol
Some people. Junk like this is why I only put trackers on certain web browsers I don't normally use except for buying something big enough to get cash back on.

For example: I only use R**** extension in Chrome so when I buy flights, rental cars, and hotels at work I get cash back for expenses I'm getting reimbursed for.

You earn points and can redeem them for gift cards or payout directly into a PayPal account. In the beta we have a limit of $5 in points but we will be opening that up to lower amounts in the future.
What does it mean that the limit is $5 in points? Does that mean that you have to have at least $5 worth of points to cash out?

Currently yes, but most people get there pretty quickly. We will be opening it up to smaller amounts soon but there is a fee per redemption we are currently not passing onto the users so we are trying to limit users redeeming every time they get 50cents. We are working on making this better and easier.
