I was introduced to this new way to save a few weeks ago. I was a little skeptical, so I wanted to try it out myself before I shared it with you. I asked lots and lots of questions and tried it with my own purchases. I am super happy to report it works just like it says it does and costs you nothing.
Offermatic 0ffers automatic savings through your existing credit or debit card – without the need for coupons, codes, and vouchers. By signing up for the free service online and linking one or more cards, Offermatic anonymously and securely reviews purchase history and identifies highly targeted and relevant money saving offers from merchants.
So for example, if you are a frequent Target shopper, your offer may be for Target. When I registered my card, I got an email offering $15 off a $30 purchase at Target. I accepted the offer and received an email confirming that it was accepted.
If I spend $30 at Target, I will get $15.00 credit back to my card account. No rebate forms to fill out or anything. It is straight up 50% off ANY purchase at Target. It appears on your credit or debit card within 30 Days. The nice thing, lets say you are buying the L’Oreal Youth Code to get the $10 Rebate – you can submit for that $10 rebate and get your $15 credit on your credit card statement. It can be a triple dip – coupons, rebates and offermatic rebate.
For a limited time, you can get either $15 off $30 at either Amazon, Walgreens or Target from Offermatic.
Here is how it works:
:: You sign up for Offermatic.
:: You add a credit card – you are not actually adding the number, only the online credentials (think online programs like Mint). Offermatic never sees your credit card number. (some credit cards or banks may not be eligible)
:: Once you add your card, you will automatically have an offer to get $15 off a $30 Amazon, Walgreens or Target purchase.
:: Make your purchase at the store you select spending $30 or more and get a $15 credit on your next credit card statement. (it can take up to 30 Days to see your credit)
:: You will continue to receive offers based on your purchases and level.
Now, you must participate in online banking with your credit or debit card to be eligible for these offers. You can check out the FAQ’s on Offermatic here to read all about the security and get more info.

I can’t find the customer service number and need to call since I didn’t get the $15 off of $30 offer.What is the number?
Thanks!
Nikki says
@Kathrine I got the movie ticket one as well. Was able to get two 3-D Justin Beaver movie tickets for $6.75 total! Thats less then just her ticket alone would have cost me, were going tonight, hope she has a good time.
Cindy K says
I made my $30 purchase on Amazon on Friday the 25th, but my transactions are only updated to the 21st. How does it “update?” I can’t seem to get it to refresh.
Coleen D says
Man, I just don’t feel comfortable with giving them my SS# or my bank login info! Is it me or is this getting a lil to personal? Good deal but, not going for it.
Erin says
I guess that means since I will be using my sb’s like I always do when I order from Amazon this is not good for me?
Shannon says
@Erin,
No Erin this will not work for you.
Becky says
Just curious before I start the registration process, if anyone has a list of the banks that are available to register? Figured I’d ask before handing them any of my informaitons.
Thanks in advance :)
Shannon says
@Becky,
Becky, maybe you can call customer service just to be sure.
Becky says
@Shannon, Will do, wasn’t sure if a list was already complied by all of you awesome ladies who haunt this site as much as I do. Thanks :) I’ll do that.
Shannon says
@Becky,
he he :)
Tina says
My credit union was not listed =(
Ionizer says
imo this place is a lot diff than mint….and i won’t use it
Andrea says
Awesome! Thanks so much! With my $10 off of $20 for Amazon, I was able to order a 140-count box of Huggies for $13.51 after the rebate. The list price is $41.69. They’re on sale for $33.59. I get 15% off for being an Amazon Mom, plus another 15% for ordering it as part of their subscription service (which you can cancel at any time). I also got free shipping as part of a 3 month free Amazon Prime membership (since I signed up for Amazon Mom). The diapers came to $23.51, which I paid with my Offermatic card, now I just have to wait for the $10 rebate to make them $13.51 :)
Diana B says
Thanks so much Shannon! This is the perfect kind of offer–the “extreme” couponing that I’m addicted to. Thanks for going above and beyond to get us the details on this.
By the way, do you have a Discover card? I just got an offer in the mail that is incredible. I signed up to “make my Discover card my #1 card” which means if I charge $1500 every month from March until July, then they’ll send me a check for $250! Since I charge that much every month (and pay it off, of course) anyway, this is a great deal!
ashley says
Is this like a one time thing? Like let’s say we get the $15 off 30 for amazon if i spent 60.00 would i get $30.00 back?
Shannon says
@ashley,
no you would just get $15 off $30
carrie says
I signed up a few weeks ago and got $15/$30 at Target, $10/$20 at amazon.com and $5/$10 at Sunoco. I easily used them all in just a few days! And I’ll be getting $30 back sometime in the next week! (You do have to go in and put the card number in again to get the credit. They’ll email you when it’s time.)
I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first, but then I read that they use the same software/programs as mint.com. I haven’t had any problems. Except that I did not initially get my promised Target promotional offer. But I emailed CS and they took care of it quickly.
BAVC says
Hmmm…. Is the $15 off $30 emailed to you or what? I got a $5 off shutterfly offer and movie tickets at 1/2 price. Neither one is any good to me. Bummer!
Shannon says
@BAVC,
If you didnt get the offer, call customer service, it could be a glitch.
Christine says
@Shannon, I didn’t get the offer either (even though I had to check the box for which $15/$30 offer I wanted). I just contacted customer service through their website and I’ll keep you updated on what they say. Thought some others might be interested in how this played out.
Dawnna says
The link to Offermatic listed above does not work.
Shannon says
@Dawnna,
it does work ?
Evelyn says
Thank you! I ended up doing this on my one credit card with a low credit limit just in case… :) I ended up getting 2 offers- the $15 off $30 Target purchase, AND the same thing but for Old Navy!! Woo hoo! My daughter needs jeans as she’s hitting a growth spurt again, so this is perfect timing. Thanks!!
Erin says
Thanks for posting this, Shannon! What a great deal! With this added to the mix, I’m getting my daughter’s $160 birthday present for $15 out-of-pocket! Yay!
(I’m going to attempt buying an Amazon gift card on this deal so I can use a Visa gift card as payment too.)
silvia says
dumb question but I signed up and i need help understanding the fine print of the offer. (To receive your rebate, just make a purchase of $30 or more at any Target location before midnight on 03-11-2011 to get $15 credited directly back to your card)
so do I have to buy the $30 only on 3-11-2011 before midnight or do I have to buy it anytime before that date? any help please :)
Shannon says
@silvia,
anytime before that date.
silvia says
Thanks! :)
Sherrie says
I’ve never used Mint.com, so just to clarify, I do not have to go to offermatic first before I go to amazon (like on ebates)? I can simply go to amazon.com, make a purchase and offermatic will “see” that I’ve used my card at amazon and credit me the $15, correct? (I havent seen this asked and I am assuming this is the correct way- just dont want to do it wrong, I’ve been really pinching pennies lately and this is a great deal!)
Shannon says
@Sherrie, Right Sherrie, they will see the transaction and credit it once you are signed up. No need to go there first.
Trish says
My bank was listed, however, when I got to the screen where they want you to tell them your username/password for your online banking I called my telebanking line and spoke to a customer service manager who then advised that I not use the site.
Shannon says
@Trish,
Well that is just silly because its the same as Mint.com, Quicken – used by millions of people.
Denise says
Shannon,
BOOOO! I didn’t get 15 off 30. I’m SO bummed. I wonder what happened??? I followed the link and everything…
Shannon says
Denise,
Its an auto offer, I’m not sure how you couldn’t get it?
Meagan says
@Shannon,
Well the same thing happened to me… no offers :(
Shannon says
@Meagan,
The offer is automatic when you sign up – so if you think it didn’t register, just call customer service.
Denise says
@Shannon,
Hi again,
I contacted their customer service with the issue and they promptly replied that they would honor it! Hooray! I will let you know after I confirm it in my acct. It was probably just a glitch. I’m impressed with Offermatic’s responsiveness! :)
Shannon says
@Denise,
Oh great to hear.
Kathy says
Shannon, do you know if tax counts on the final charge to bring the amount up to $30 or is it the final charge before sales tax?
Shannon says
@Kathy,
I don’t – hopefully that is an answer customer service can answer.
Chrys says
@Kathy, I would imagine they’re not going to go through the trouble of figuring out how much you paid in tax, but instead look at the amount that was charged on your card, so my guess is $30 includes tax.
Chrys says
@Chrys, Just in case you haven’t heard from this, saw this on their FB
Employee Post
Amazon Purchase
Hello!
I hope all are enjoying their Amazon offer. :)
I would like to address very common questions about an Amazon transactions.
– Amazon seems to be splitting up purchase transactions?
If this is the case our system is pretty good and linking both transaction depending on timing. If it does not track your purchase, please take a screen shot and email it to Support@offermatic.com.
-Another common question is does shipping and handling come included?
Yes! What we need to see is the total of $30 or $20 depending on your offer.
Another question- What if I have an Amazon gift card and would like to use it?
Thats is fine, but once again we need to see the total amount $30 or $20 depending the offer.
Last common question- Does Amazon Marketplace qualify under the Amazon offer? Yes! As long as we see Amazon on your statement it qualifies.

Kristin L. says
To get the $15 rebate on $30 spent, does that mean that you have to actually have $30+ CHARGED on your credit card, after coupons and all?? Or can it be $30 BEFORE coupons (which would make the actual credit card charge less than $30).
Thanks for the info!
Shannon says
@Kristin L.,
No its a $30 charge.
Maggie says
I noticed an “Activate” and “expires in 4 days” under the $15 “rebate” offer, but I am not sure if that means that the offer will expire in 4 days and therefore have to rush to do my $30 purchase- or if it will expire in 4 days after I click in “Activate” and can do the purchase anytime. Anyone… ?
Kristin L. says
@Maggie,
Yeah, I just joined and I am confused about the whole “Expires in 4 Days” thing. I’ve looked around on the website, and I can’t find anywhere that explains what this means. Do I have to make my purchase in the next 4 days? Or do I just have to click “Activate” in the next 4 days…then I would get longer (but how long) to actually do the purchase?? I dunno…
Help?
Shannon says
@Kristin L.,
You have to activate it in four days – then it gives you a few weeks to do the purchase.
Sherrie says
@Shannon, after you activate it gives you the expiration date
Sathish says
If I get a $15 off a $30 offer, should I spend the $30 in a single transaction?
Shannon says
Yes.
Amber says
I have a credit union not a bank and it doesn’t come up. My debit card is Visa though, is there anyway to do it through my card number or only through a Bank name?
Shannon says
@Amber,
I am not sure, but maybe customer service can help.
CJ says
I just joined offermatic! In addition to the $15 rebate on $30purchase at Amazon, I got a rebate offer of $5 rebate when you purchase $10 at CVS – of course this would be the amount purchased on the card – after coupons. I am a user of Mint.com, Offermatic’s website has a very similar feel. I am excited to see what other offers I will be offered!
Abby says
A great deal, and awesome timing too. I combined it with a couple of other credits I had, $30 Amazon gift card from Christmas and a $40 gift credit for signing up for an Amazon credit card – which is still available BTW, and for about $15 shipped I got a $100 dress form (for sewing) that had been on my Wishlist for some time.
Thanks for posting! Looking forward to see what other offers pop up.
Kathrine says
Haha! I noticed once I signed up that you got an extra 200 points ;) enjoy!
Shannon says
Actually I do not Katherine, in Lieu of those points, Offermatic is giving you guys $15 off $30 instead of the normal $5 off $10..
Kathrine says
@Shannon, Awww :( I was hoping you’d get the points! Thanks for the bonus love, though!
Shannon says
@Kathrine,
No worries, you guys support this site just by showing up :)
Angel says
Thank you for the information! I just got back from walgreens! Next trip!
Cheryl says
RE: bank reqd
I was wary of this part… emailed them and they said I could skip
that part.
I couldn’t understand why they needed a bank acct since they
aren’t posting the rebate to it…
Have you heard differently…. they say they want the bank to
basically fish for more shopping habits…. and I know it says it
is reqd… just not sure it is.
Maybe you can inquire too.
Cheryl says
@Cheryl,
well, sorry they didn’t say the ‘fish’ part.. that is just what it
sounded like to me..
to know more about habits to offer better deals to you in the future
Shannon says
@Cheryl,
Hmm I didnt add any bank info.
Cheryl says
@Shannon,
okay good…
Kathrine says
@Cheryl, I didn’t either. I just entered my online info. They do fish for transactions so they can offer you offers you can use – for example, they offered me $6 Fandango tickets because I spent a particular amount in Entertainment.
it’s just like Mint.com.
Christina says
TD Bank is not available with this program :(
Whitney says
Thanks Shannon. I can totally see myself doing this on Amazon for some Huggies diapers.
Sarah says
@Whitney, that’s what I was thinking too… gonna wait till I get a 20% or $10 (unless I need to use the offer before I get one), and then throw a 2nd box in there to get over $30.
