Faqt wallet8/15/2023 More recently, the site underwent an "upgrade," and fatwallet's own review pages on the botched upgrade were negative from the start. It used to be such that only truly hot deals were posted, but now many postings are for expired offers, offers with negligible value and self-serving, self-promoting "offers" for those whose sole purpose in posting is to get "badges" of dubious merit. The site is flooded with spam and bad deals. I never expected such great treatment after leaving a couple less than kind messages and truly felt embarrassed for my behavior towards such a great company. To my surprise, they were kind and quick to fix my account and boost my spirits at such a low point. I really thought they were a scam too and was not too nice in my message which entailed accusations of them being a scam to some degree. However, I did not feel this way at the time after realizing that I had to leave a message in order to have someone call me back. To my surprise, called me back right away and went even further by crediting my account with $20 which I desperately needed at that time. So I started the arduous task of contacting every company that was paying this criminal instead of me. After noticing this, of course I was devastated. drained from my PayPal account in addition to both bank accounts.To my utter dismay and disbelief, not only did this thief drain both of my bank accounts in addition to my PayPal accounts but to add insult to injury they had substituted their PayPal address in place of mine anywhere that I was paid for work or received cashback.Īll it took was them finally gaining access to my email and the rest is history. More specifically, after having all my accounts hacked and drained I went over to fatwallet to request payment for the $10 I had in my account. It will never be the gem it once was and sadly, it looks to continue to decline. Though, I expect it all trickles down from the top. Two forum moderators in particular, with usernames Virgil27 and Nellium have behaved so rudely unprofessional to me it's disgusting. Most alarmingly, if one doesn't "toe the company line" and questions the arbitrary, inconsistent, and silly "rainbows and unicorns" artificial sense of community, one can expect to be singled out. Overall, the quality is pretty mediocre compared to what it once was. Silly badges and worthless status contests have encouraged users to post quantity over quality. FW is much more heavy-handed in the moderation of the forums, and the moderation is very uneven and unfairly administered. FW staff intrude in the forums with staff-promoted deals. Deals can still be found, but the signal-to-noise ratio is much higher. At one time Fatwallet was a great place to find deals and tips on a daily basis. With each successive buyout/merger, now owned by Rakuten (formerly buy.com), the management has become increasingly more involved in the forums. Fatwallet no longer offers cash back as a shopping portal, so the only "value" is through the forums.
