Top 10 Best Coupon Extensions for Chrome in 2025

User reviews

RetailMeNot Chrome extension is praised for automatically applying coupon codes and offering cashback benefits, saving users time and money. It is user-friendly and reliable for many shoppers, especially on frequent purchases. However, multiple users report intrusive pop-ups disrupting browsing, concerns over excessive permissions requests, frequent cashback problems including lost rewards and commissions, and many expired or invalid coupons. Some users experience session hijacking issues that reduce their cashback earnings. While the extension can save money, these recurring problems lead to significant user frustration.

Pros

Automatically finds and applies the best coupon codes at checkout, saving time and money.
Easy to use interface for finding coupons and deals.
Offers cashback which can be transferred to accounts like Venmo.
Has been reliable for many users over years of usage, especially for common purchases like pizza or groceries.
Customer service is lauded by some users.

Cons

Intrusive and frequent pop-ups, including sweepstakes pop-ups, which annoy users.
Extension requests excessive permissions (e.g., managing all apps, extensions, and themes) without clear justification, causing privacy concerns.
Cashback issues: cashback not working or being lost due to alleged commission hijacking and misleading cashback tracking, including removal of shopping trip records.
Coupons often expired or invalid, leading to frustration and distrust in the service.
Hijacking shopping sessions from other cashback sites causing loss of higher cashback rewards to users.

When I had RetailMeNot on my old computer, I never got this many pop ups from them. Now I have it installed on my new computer and it's every fricken page... even as soon as I sign on and boots to google, they start the pop ups ... and I don't mean just one. Deleting it because it's not the same as before and so far, I haven't see a code or coupon I need.

The pop-up is the most intrusive of all of the cash back and coupon extensions. It takes up some of the most valuable space on every siter visit. Almost impossible to live with and there are so many alternatives that have better coupon codes. Horrible.

EDIT: Whether it's intentional or not, hard earned money is being stolen from working-class individuals any way you look at it. This is FRAUD. Just like every other coupon extension, RetailMeNot steals money from small creators by swapping in their own affiliate links/cookies when you try to find coupons. This website earns a commission on every purchase you make which steals from the hard working individuals who rely on their audience and affiliate marketing to earn a living and pay bills. This is the same garbage as honey. Search YouTube for "Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam"
