Endorse: Changes to Program & New Thanksgiving Offer (Earn 20% Cash Back!)

Back in early October, I posted about a new app called Endorse that allows you to earn cash back when physically shopping in the store. On Friday, Steven Carpenter, the Founder and CEO of Endorse, contacted me about some changes that have been implemented in order to ensure that Endorse continues to be a sustainable rewards structure.

Here are the main changes that took place effective November 11th…

* All rewards for popping retailers and grocery stores will be reduced from 10% to 2%.

* Product and restaurant rewards will remain unchanged at 10%. In the long term, you will earn the most rewards by buying and staying loyal to the products you love.

* Automobiles, gas stations (including gas at grocery and convenience stores), airlines, theme parks, and department stores are being removed from Endorse so that the focus can be on product-level rewards. Endorse will continue to honor these endorsements if you purchased prior to November 10th. You will get an email from Endorse if any of your endorsements are effected. “5 and Free” for you and your followers will stay unchanged for all endorsements on the site.

* You can now endorse 56 grocery stores including grocery sub-brands from the major grocery chains- including Safeway, Kroger, Ahold, and Supervalu. You will earn 2% back every time you endorse and pop these stores.

* Click here for more information about the changes mentioned above.


On a different note,  you may want to take advantage of a special offer for Thanksgiving from Endorse where you can earn 20% rewards for endorsing and popping your favorite products to prepare your family Thanksgiving meal. To qualify, you need to endorse, buy and POP at least 5 different products from the list here to earn 20% cash back. You may purchase a maximum of 5 of the same product (5 turkeys, 5 boxes of stove top stuffing etc), but you must endorse and POP at least 5 different products to qualify for 20% cash back. POP all qualifying Thanksgiving receipts in the same envelope and your purchase must be made between November 10th and November 24th, and mailed to us by December 7th. The regular “5 and Free” friend bonus still applies – get 5 friends to endorse and POP any of the products you’ve also endorsed – and you’ll get yours for free. Click here for more information and scroll down to see the list of the 20 qualifying Thanksgiving products.

And, if you’re interested, feel free to share your personal endorsement links below! 🙂

(Thanks, The Frugal Find!)

  4. Roxy

    Thanks Collin! I just sent my first mailer last week and then got the emails about the changes. Was disappointed, but i guess it’s still better than nothing.

    I just don’t know what to do if I wanna keep certain receipts for future rebates or for exchanges / returns of products. Can I send a copy of the receipt to Endorse? I guess I’ll have to contact them.

    in the envelope do u send in as many reciepts or only one week worth at a time?

    • Katie

      They recommend 2 weeks worth of receipts per envelope, but I just send them whenever I remember or have a handful to send.

  9. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    NEWBIE TO THIS! I just joined today…I am still not quite sure how endorsing other people works exactly. Please help me if I am wrong. I can only Endorse ANOTHER person’s endorsement once BUT ONLY if I haven’t endorsed it myself? And in order for my to get my purchase free I have to have 5 OTHER people endorse UNDER mine AND they have to ACTUALLY buy the product AND send in the reciept? BUT regardless of the amount of people I Endorse or the number of endorsements UNDER mine, we ALL get cash back? IF I understand it correctly…here are some of my Endorsements.

    hey guys! how do you know which stores are a part of endorsed?

  17. Brandy

    One question…if I join UNDER someone’s endorsement (let’s say Dr. Pepper) and help THEM get to 5, can other people still endorse Dr. Pepper under MY endorsement of that product to help ME get to 5? Does this make sense? I understand how going through someone else’s link helps them, but can someone else still help me with the same product? So that we can all get 5 people?

    • ayesha

      If you join someone Dr pepper’s link , they can’t join you because they already joined that product.

    • melissa

      yes, you can get 5 people to now follow you.

      • melissa

        should clarify, that the original person you are following, can’t endorse you back, but you can get 5 people to now follow your endorsement.

        • Brandy

          Thanks everyone! That was the one thing I couldn’t really figure out! I wanted to join a bunch of people’s endorsements here but couldn’t figure out if people could then follow mine! Thanks a bunch! Now, I can go and help some people with their links!

    how will they determin to give 2% or 10% for instance tide will i get 10 or 2– so if i buy tide at a grocery store i will only get 2% im confused help please!

    • melissa

      you get 10% on the products themselves… but if you also buy Tide at the grocery store, which is 2%, you will get 2% based on your Total Purchase out of pocket (after all sales & coupons)

    Hello! I followed a bunch of yours that I didn’t already follow! Thanks everyone! Good luck!

    I got the email that I will be getting my first check for $72.51! So excited! Then I will be getting about $80.00 more when they receive my next receipts! Thanks for sharing!

  25. Crystal

    https://www.endorse.com/love/McDonalds/4030

    I POP this one all the time and would appreciate it if anyone would follow me – let me know how I can return the favor!

    I expected that they might make some changes when I saw how fast my 10% on everything was adding up. But 2% is better than nothing! I’m putting all my Endorse cash back in my “vacation savings” envelope and I’ll take free money any time!

    I am new to this, and it’s a little confusing…please help if you can! 🙂 I’ve got that I need to endorse, then buy the item, then send in the receipt, ( do I highlight my item or something?) Also, what does the clicking on the links do? I know this is silly, cause it’s probably pretty simple and I’m making it hard! 🙂

    • rhambleton

      hi seminolefan, yes they do ask that you highlight or mark the product on the receipt. the links are the products that people have endorsed. it helps to get at least 5 followers on each product endorsement. here is a page that will help you….
