“No need to print coupons for grocery stores anymore”

David H.
2/4/11

No need to print coupons for grocery stores anymore. This website allows you to electronically clip coupons by registering your Grocery Loyalty Card with the website. Once you have done that, press the clip button and the coupon is added to your Loyalty Card and will be redeemed when you check-out. No more printing, forgetting, tearing, cutting and fumbling for the coupons. Just in case that is what you prefer, you can also print coupons from shortcuts.com.

“All the site will allow me to do is print cents-off...”

Jenny A.

All the site will allow me to do is print cents-off coupons. There is no link or button anywhere that I can find to "sign up", "register", or in any way get credit for purchases or connect store loyalty cards to any sort of "account". The coupons are connected to SmartSource - a legitimate coupon distributor. A recent women's magazine article mentioned this site as a way to "plug in the ingredients you need... and the site combs through current sales. It even does a search for online coupons and applies them to your grocery store loyalty card." Can't figure out how!?!?

I bought an expensive furniture set through their website. After months of back and forth emails I finally find out today I won't be getting my credit because they claim I bought it through a different site. Really? Funny because I went through this site and the credit only shows up on this site. Now I lost out on a $65 credit. Will never use again or recommend to anyone!

Ce E. You sound like a real know it all b••ch who likes to look down on people and feel superior. Shows you are insecure. Anyway I type in the website and it says doesn't exist which I am pretty sure cannot be correct?

I have over 3 dozen purchases with pending cash back. I contacted them to see what the problem was & was told I might not have made the purchases correctly or could have used a different site. Obviously the error isn't on my end since each purchase lists their assigned ticket tracking number. I was then told I had to send them proof the purchases were made and match them with their assigned number. I've done the legwork, sent them their info and now they aren't responding. I tried to log on to my account and it no longer exists. All the purchases, tracking numbers, ecoupons, etc.are gone. I'm not sure if I contact the Attorney General and pursuit it as a fraud case, but that's where I intend to start. I'm absolutely livid! At least I have copies of the emails AND I copied a list of all my purchases so I have proof to back up my claim.

My husband and I signed up for shortcuts back around 2009, but we really didn't begin using the site till around 2010. Honestly we can't complain at all. We have shopped using our two accounts to make way way too many purchases to count. We shop at Sears, Kohl's, Kmart, Target, Walmart, Sam's Club, Lowes, Home Depot, Staples, Office Max, Office Depot, Expedia, HP Home, Best Buy, eBags, Overstock.com, and the list goes on and on. We've used Shortcuts.com to make many online purchases, where we either shipped directly to our house, or picked the items up at the store, or had things shipped to the store. When I say we have made many purchases, I mean probably close to 100-125 purchases, estimating. My husband loves the site, and we can swear by it, that it has worked for us without a problem. We have used it for the cash back rewards program, and NEVER had any issue with receiving any check ever for our purchases. Only once did we have any issue at all with receiving a cash back credit for an online purchase, and that was because my husband did it from the store computer at Lowes that didn't allow the browser cookies to track back to shortcuts properly as it could have.

I have read some complaints on here about shortcuts, acting as if it is a scamming website and that is bull and alot of bogus crap from people who are apparently technologically impaired, and not too savvy in their knowledge of the way their computers and browsers' settings work.

Has anyone ever heard of browser security settings? What about cookies that refer to what your browser stores in the temporary internet files. Has anyone ever heard of browser settings and a cache? Does anyone ever bother to wonder about how their Windows Firewall, or their personal anti-virus programs works and affects their browsers.

I'd stake my life on it, that some of moronic statements made about Shortcuts, were posted due to the people have their internet security set too high, where the tracking back can't happen... your browser cookies have to communicate your tracking cookies back to the website in order to communicate with shortcuts to PAY you a check when you make a purchase. Also, you have to keep that browser window OPEN, and do not close it at all, until you complete your order.

When you go through shortcuts.com/onlineshopping, you have to join, create your account, give your mailing address, look for the store you want to shop, click on the recent cash back incentives, or their coupons for specific items. The website redirects to your store, and you stay on that tab, in that webs browser, until you get checked out. The track backs will show up within 2-3 days on your account. Then about 2-3 months, your shortcuts will pay you a check once you have reached your minimum amount for them to cut you a check. The minimum amount is somewhere between $5.00 to 20.00 bucks.

We've received back hundreds of dollars back in cash back checks from our shortcuts website. We love it, because it's like another sale, or coupon on top of the regular store sale... It's a cool deal to use them for shopping. I guess the other people that left the poor comments on here just weren't bright enough to use a website like shortcuts. For the smart people out there who like to save money, there is also ShopAtHome. It works well too. Both websites do the same thing, and offer cash back on a great variety of stores, and even travel sites.
