Do discord or telegram platforms of BG offer different commission rate than the commission displayed on website? I thought I saw a screenshot somewhere where the commission offered was different on discord.

Can you go back to this somewhere and take another look and save what you thought/think you see/saw?

TDB pays higher for next gen consoles and iphone pro max on their discord. Everything else is the same.

Has anyone had a check bounce but its your bank at fault? I mobile deposit for several groups and one was rejected 2 days after by Wells Fargo with the note unpaid. The wf rep said they sent a letter with more details but its gonna take up to a week. The bg is looking into it but I really hope this isn't a Thing

Anyone here have a reliable cashback portal with good rates for Amazon? I've been using Befrugal because they give 8% on kindles and 7% on echos but out of $5000 worth of stuff I ordered in the past few months they only tracked around $1000 worth. I looked around a bit online and it seems that this is a common problem people have with befrugal not tracking orders especially with Amazon, and there are also some reports of befrugal shutting down accounts if you are making too much money. I'd rather use a different portal that has lower rates if it's known to be more reliable.

Amazon doesn't offer much cash back because they don't have to to incentive sales.

Thanks but was looking more to hear people's personal experiences, what they use and how reliable it is with tracking and payouts.

I use TCB and sometimes Activejunky (Oculus was a big winner this year). TCB tracks 99% of the time but you’re still at the mercy of the retailer. If they arbitrarily decide they don’t want to pay you bc of reselling or whatever they drum up you’re SOL. It’s generally not a good idea to factor in cash back when evaluating opportunities.

Edit: just saw you were asking about Amazon in particular. It’s rare but not unheard of to get cash back on Amazon purchases and it’s usually only for promotional periods lasting a few days. I don’t really buy Amazon devices since there’s little money to be had and I don’t have a Prime card. TCB has always tracked and paid out for me in the past though.

BeFrugal, TCB. Take your pick. Sometimes they track. Sometimes they don’t. Eventually Amazon will block your account and you won’t be able to order devices from it. Don’t forget to select gift option or derigister the devices.

Update for the group, the bg didn't know why the check was rejected but they quickly voided and reissued the next biz day. It cleared with Ally so honestly I'm inclined to think WF screwed up

BFMR
 
Having an issue with BFMR. They aren’t responding to any emails regarding missing package which was signed for. Have never had such issues with them. Any ideas?

Did you contact them during the week? Wait 4-5 days? What address was it shipped too? A lot of times delivery guys will sign a name but not deliver the package. BFMR should still respond though.

They will respond, but usually within 1-2 days. Most probably you will get reply of "resolve with retailer"

Having a bit of trouble getting paid for merchandise purchased for The Deal Buyer. Opened a ticket after I realized I didn't get paid for 2 of the 4 items purchases almost a month ago. Ticket opened 15 days now. They asked for screen shots....OF THEIR OWN DATA! Which I was happy to provide. I've even tried to ask for their help on their own facebook page....they're dragging their feet for WAY too long.

Anyone else have any issues with TDB not paying?

TDB is good. I know they had some issues with what was probably a stealing employee in the recent past. Are you on discord by chance? If you jump on there server you can open a ticket and have a semi-quick dialogue with them.

I get the feeling that as we roll into Q4 are of these groups are swamped. I've seen response and payout times getting longer and longer.

edit: but also they shouldn't be taking this long responding to your tickets anyway.
