DP
I got 15% Walgreens offer that expired Aug 11. I didn’t get my cashback until today, sep 3. My Walgreens purchase was on aug 6
Anyone get paid for the second round with same merchant? My first round paid the day after the “use offer by” date, but I’m still waiting on the second. Feeling a bit hesitant about doing the third since the delay makes me skeptical
Wanted to give an update on some datapoints.
Activated the offer for Walgreens on july 15th and bought a zift zillions gift card for $50 the same day. Venmo finally paid out the $7.50 on Aug 14th.
Also took advantage of a McDonald’s offer. That one I activated an offer one Aug 5th and surprisingly got 15% cash back on Aug 9th. Not sure why that paid out fast vs the Walgreens one.
Didn’t get a chance to take advantage of the Walmart one but if this offer shows up again, I’ll jump on these again.
Piece of shit Venmo didn’t pay out for my Walmart offer from early July, well over 30 days ago. This isn’t the first time Venmo hasn’t paid out on offers…. they didn’t pay out for a grocery offer back in 11/24.
Fool me once, fool me twice.🖕🏼
If you have time, you may try submitting a complaint on the BBB.
I never even got this offer. My Venmo card hasn’t had offers for months now.
WM and Lyft came in handy.
Let’s normalize not eating McDonalds.
Anyone know if this works for buying a Money Order at Walmart ?
signed up for debit card, immediately saw offer in app without receiving an email
You have to wait until after the offer end date. It will post few days afterwards. These don’t post instantly like Cashapp FYI.
Not true, was told i had to wait 90 days. Purchase was made June 20th, offer expired for that month a while ago already on July 8th. No credit. Support is useless and says they cant manually apply credit and I have to wait 90 days. There is a max redemption on these offers so that’s another excuse they can use to not payout
DP: My offer end date for the Walgreens offer was 8/4, and the cashback posted to my Venmo account on 8/7.
Might also be helpful to note that I made the Walgreens payment with my virtual Venmo debit card via Google Wallet. I tried using the physical card at first, but it kept getting denied (later found out that I forgot to activate it🤦🏻♂️). All that to say, my virtual card purchase qualified, even when the physical card was never activated!
i dont have the Venmo debit card, should i get one so i can save some money in the future?
No downside, but per this comment, you may be able to get in on this too
