Paribus - get money back if the price drops
« on: May 17, 2015, 11:30:46 AM »
I've been trying out a service called Paribus - you connect it to your email, and if a price drops on something you bought, they automatically file a price drop claim and get you some money back. They charge you 25% of what they get you back (via a linked credit card).

So far I got back ~$7 from two amazon purchases.

Anyone else try this?

Yes, but I'm not going to go checking amazon, and other websites, every day to see if the price dropped on things I bought. The point of paribus is that they do the work for you. So they take a 25% cut, but it's money I would not have gotten otherwise.

Gotta love the videos in the background of the home page. Especially the laptop where he's looking at The Dress. :D

Anyone who wants a referral link can PM me. I hope that's okay... if not, the mods have full permission to delete my post ;)

You can make a separate email account and forward to it.

Interesting. I'll check tomorrow if it shows the email address anywhere... If not we'll just have to wait and see.

I have a separate email address for purchases and stuff (it forwards to my main one), so I just gave them that.
