For years our charity has received checks from them. It looks like they have gone out of business. I don't think anyone was scamming people, I think they just went bankrupt or closed. They still owed us money but since it was free money for us I am thankful for what we received in the past.

I had to find out from outside sources that GIVING ASSISTANT is being "liquidated" and is shutting down. It appears they are not notifying any of their customers--even those who still think/thought they are earning cash-back. I got a strange email with legal language, but ignored it until now. It appears many customers will not get the cash they earned.

I experienced the same as other reviewers, I have been using giving assistant for about 2 years and received my payouts on time but in the past 3 months the website didn't let me search for a store but did let me go to the list and choose it. It seemed to be working that way and I would receive an email that cash back was processing, the most recent on December 17, but I haven't received any of my cash back since October.

cant login since last week. Looks like they took all the cashback money from retailers and took off.

Stopped counting cashbacks and even replying.

I have been using their services for 6 months. At first everything was fine. But since December they stopped paying cashback. There is no response in the chat. Their mail doesn't work anymore. They still owe me about $500! I wrote a letter to the Better Business Bureau. I hope they will help me there. I advise everyone who has suffered to contact the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General of California. It's a shame that there are still such scammers in such a great country! And today, on December 23, 2021, they threw me out of my personal account altogether and I can no longer log into my personal account! In general, thank you guys from givingassistant for a great gift for Christmas! I never thought that in America such a thing could be and go unpunished! May it be rewarded!

Like others said, it's a scam, the checks bounce back, they never respond to chat or emails. Get a lawyer.

My bank returned two checks within a week saying that Its a "Frozen/blocked account". Reached out multiple times with no response. Beware of giving assistant.
