SCAM warning!!!!

It's impossible to withdraw earned money.

First, for months they pretended that the problem was due to a bank account change on their side that was difficult to handle... LOL

Now that I have changed my bank account on my side, it's impossible to confirm it in order to retry to get my money; the confirmation email is (intentionally ?) buggy, so the button to confirm the account points to an undefined address.

"Jacky" (an AI ?) always respond the same thing, "your money is not lost, it is secure on your shopmate account, blablabla". But if you cannot withdraw for months, it makes no difference if the money is "securely" blocked on their account for months or is totally lost. At the end it is the same for the end user.

If all these problems had last for a month or so, I could agree it was simply unprofessional on their side. But the fact it lasts for months, simply means my dear Jacky that you are a scam.

Hi,
first, I want to clarify: I am a real person from our support team and I deeply apologize that my previous messages felt like generic auto-replies to you. I completely understand your frustration when you cannot withdraw your money for months, it makes zero difference what the internal reasons are. From your point of view, it is simply unacceptable.

We are currently dealing with a technical bug involving our payout API (UUID-4 error) as well as confirmation links, which has unfortunately taken our IT team much longer to fix than anticipated. However, this is strictly a technical issue on our system’s end, not an intentional hold or a scam. Your earned cashback is fully validated and belongs to you.

Best regards,
Jacky

Withholding of cashback

I used this provider to earn cashback on a banking contract. The cashback was credited to my account, whereupon I initiated a withdrawal. Unfortunately, the funds were returned by my bank. I informed Shopmate's customer service, and they assured me that they would transfer the money to my account again. To this day—two months later—however, this has not happened, and I do not believe they ever will. I have contacted customer service multiple times, but I was repeatedly given nothing but the runaround. Nothing has actually been done. I have never experienced anything like this with other cashback providers.

Hi Daniel,

due to a recent change of bank on our end, there were unfortunately some delays with payouts.
Please contact our support team again so we can investigate your case and resolve this immediately.

Auszahlung seit fast 3 Monaten nicht bearbeitet

Ich kann von Shopmate nur dringend abraten.

Meine Auszahlung hängt jetzt seit fast drei Monaten fest. In 10 Tagen sind es wirklich drei volle Monate. Ich habe dem Support inzwischen über 20 E-Mails geschrieben, aber am Ende kommt jedes Mal nur dieselbe Standardantwort zurück. Keine echte Lösung, keine klare Erklärung, einfach nur Hinhalten.

Irgendwann kann man das nicht mehr als normales Problem oder technische Verzögerung bezeichnen. Für mich wirkt es inzwischen so, als würde Shopmate Auszahlungen bewusst verschleppen.

Wer überlegt, diese Plattform zu nutzen: Lasst es lieber. Spart euch den Stress, die Zeit und die Nerven.

Please be very careful with Shopmate. Honestly, I would stay away from this platform completely.

I have been waiting for my withdrawal for almost three months now. In 10 days, it will officially be three months, and they still haven’t solved anything. I have sent more than 20 emails already, and every single time I just get the same copy-paste replies with no real help.

This is not how a serious platform treats its users. At this point, it feels like they are just delaying withdrawals on purpose and hoping people give up.

I am honestly extremely disappointed and angry. I would strongly recommend avoiding Shopmate.

Hi,
es tut uns leid zu hören, dass sich deine Auszahlung verzögert hat und du dadurch Unannehmlichkeiten hatten.

Leider kam es zu Verzögerungen durch den Bankwechsel, der leider mehr Zeit in Anspruch genommen hat, als üblich. Wir verstehen, dass die Dauer von inzwischen fast drei Monaten sehr frustrierend ist, und entschuldigen uns aufrichtig für die entstandenen Verzögerungen.

Wir arbeiten weiterhin daran die Auszahlung schnellstmöglich abzuschließen. Leider ist es uns jedoch nicht möglich einzelne Konten vorzuziehen.

Vielen Dank für deine Geduld.
Viele Grüße Jacky

Hi,

thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We completely understand how frustrating it is when a payout takes longer than expected especially when you’ve already been waiting for several months. We take your concerns very seriously.

At the moment, there are indeed delays in payouts due to a bank change, which is taking longer than originally anticipated. We sincerely apologize for this situation and the inconvenience it has caused.

Please rest assured:
your cashback is safe and will not be lost. All pending payouts will be processed as soon as the transition is fully completed.

We kindly ask for a bit more patience and truly appreciate your understanding.

Kind regards,
Jacky

Not all my purchases are add to my account to receive the payment back. The system doesn’t work that well.

Dear Silviya,
We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment. Unfortunately, there was no tracked click from shopmate at the time of your purchase, and without this technical proof, our partner shops do not allow us to submit a missing cashback request.

We understand your frustration and are continuously working to improve the experience. If you have any further questions, we’re here to help.

Best regards, Jacky
