I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.


I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.

please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add
  1. Pointsmaker - pointsmaker.com - Notifies via email . You buy and upload tracking number - Payment comes pretty quick same day most often via echeck once item is checked in
  2. MYS Buying Group - mysbuyinggroup.com Notifies via email . You buy and upload tracking number - Payment comes pretty quick once item is checked in echeck
    MYS has the most complaints of all, from very late payment to not receiving items. Many people have given up on MYS.
  3. USA Buying Group - usabuying.group same as others regarding loading the tracking number. slowest payment of all. alerts come via whatsapp and email and response time is medium to issues
  4. YRCW - app.yrcwtech.com same as others alertss comes via whatsapp - payments can be slow. response time to issues are pretty quick via communication thru wahtsapp to owner
  5. Buy For Me Retail - The best. buyformeretail.com deals are posted on page. offers sent thru email. payment sent ach when they are checked i
  6. EMB - embdeals.com same as above - a great one as well. alerts via whatsapp. payments can be requested same day and will arrive same day. lots of offers last amazon prime.
  7. EMB - From late 2021 through August 2022, Several reports of missing packages, more complaints than most of the other groups. Buyers Beware.
  8. TheDealBuyer - thedealbuyer.com - Seems to be very new to the game. Not using whatsapp, but Pushover to send deals.

Last laptop deal, I placed 4 orders and only 1 cancelled. Different credit cards via PayPal for all and different buying group addresses. I also placed some from my phone and one via VPN. No Dell rewards. It isnt worth the headache if theyre going to get damaged and then Im stuck with them.

Have you guys found a solution to get Best buy, Dell, Walmart, Target, and other orders through? I never was able to get even one order through besides Amazon. They all just get canceled instantly or within a few minutes.

For Best Buy, try use their app and pay with Apple Pay.
Dell used to work fine for me, but not anymore. Really frustrating.

Still no luck with BB, I use the app but with a regular cc. Will try wallet feature. WM has been ok using a new throwaway email, guest check out, and a new card (works for a couple buys).
As far as companies. EMBD is my top choice for now with the speed of check in, pay outs, and offers/buys. BFMR obviously has the most convenient submit/payout but the offers/payouts are worse. Buygetrewards is a smaller operation but I also have had good turnaround / response with them. Reliable check in and payouts.

Same here. BB orders all got canceled no matter how I placed the orders (PC, cell phone, different cards, different shipping addresses...).

WM has been good. BB is hit/miss, depends on the product sold. If its really in demand it gets cancelled even if I try shipping it to my home address. Dell I have no clue on how to make work, used to be very easy and then seemingly overnight became the hardest. Any tips would be much appreciated.

If I try using my account and shipping to my home address it gets cancelled, however if I check out as guest, shipping to my home does work, so they def flag accounts. Unable to use any buying group address as a ship to, tried google pay, PayPal, nothing works.

Yeah I have 5 items that were shipped to BFMR that have airport codes within the tracking number. All 5 are "lost" but I'm hoping they show up within a day or two because I don't want to ask Amazon for a refund on all those items.

Anyone else dealing/dealt with this issue?

BFMR has been great but for nearly the last month all of the amazon shipped (not UPS, etc) packages have failed to indicate delivery on Amazon's side. They just get stuck in "On the way, but it's running late" state. Still, about 90% of those do seem to actually get delivered at the expected time to BFMR. That has still resulted in asking Amazon for more refunds than I really felt comfortable with though. Not sure what happened it was like clockwork months ago.

Yeah I had the same issue. I think they're using a carrier called "AT" or something according to the rep I spoke with. The tracking numbers that have airport codes in them are the ones causing all the issues.

Definitely a uncomfortable conversation with Amazon when you're missing high value items

Is there any risk getting the Amex Amazon Business card and using that to get 5% back?

No more risk than using any other CC to buy products. Unfortunately its now capped at $120k. Easy to max that out.
