Just link your credit card and shop at any of these locally-featured stores, and you can earn Wikibuy Credits for offline purchases.<\/p>\n<p>While this post is focused on the browser extension, we\u2019ll still cover the apps below.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know what it is, let\u2019s take a closer look at how it works.<\/p>\n<p>The main feature of Wikibuy is its browser extension.<\/p>\n<p>So, we\u2019re going to discuss that in a little more depth.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, you install the browser extension. We linked to this above, but in case you missed it, you can get it <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wikibuy.com\/instant\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once it\u2019s installed, you can start taking advantage of all the features that it has to offer.<\/p>\n<div readability=\"224.672386059\">\n<div class=\"custom-ad\" readability=\"9.55144032922\">\n<b>Earn $5 Over &amp; Over!<\/b><br \/>\n<span class=\"title-divider\"\/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nJoin SmartPanel &amp; SavvyConnect and share your experince on how you use the internet. They pay you $5 for installing their free app &amp; $5 a month just for keeping it, plus loyalty bonus! .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"custom-button\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/go\/JoinSavvyConnect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Join SavvyConnect<\/a> &#8211; <a class=\"custom-button\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/go\/JoinSmartPanel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Join SmartPanel<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here\u2019s what features are on offer:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Finds the best prices automatically on Amazon<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re like most people, you probably shop on Amazon a lot, and that really is where Wikibuy shines as it can <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/amazon-hacks\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">save you money on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once installed, when you\u2019re shopping on Amazon, it will automatically search thousands of merchants, like Walmart, Target, and eBay to see if you\u2019re getting the best deal.<\/p>\n<p>This means that you can see if the item you\u2019re planning to buy on Amazon is available cheaper elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>This is such a useful feature.<\/p>\n<p>Also, once one person finds a better price, the other 3 million+ Wikibuyers who have the browser extension installed, will know about the deal, automatically.<\/p>\n<p>While you browse Amazon products or search directly on WB, it will find you better offers from other sellers. If the product you\u2019re shopping for has selectable options, like color or size, then the tool will start working once you\u2019ve picked your options.<\/p>\n<p>It the product doesn\u2019t have any selectable options, then it will start working immediately, and if there are savings, WB will display the lowest priced match within 10 to 15 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>You can even review your savings. Just click the WB prompt and it will display a summary of the matching products, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pricing history<\/li>\n<li>Return policy<\/li>\n<li>Delivery estimate<\/li>\n<li>Related product deals from other WB users<\/li>\n<li>Reviews and rankings from Amazon and Google, as well as YouTube videos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is really handy when you are shopping.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Automatically get coupon codes<\/h3>\n<p>The extension will also apply coupon codes at the checkout at thousands of retailers.<\/p>\n<p>The coupon codes are updated in real-time, based on which codes save other users the most money.<\/p>\n<p>This means that you actually get <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/netflix-promo-codes\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">working coupon codes<\/a>, which is great.<\/p>\n<p>When you shop with a participating retailer, you\u2019ll get a notification from the browser extension wherever a coupon code field is present. This could be on the cart page or the checkout page.<\/p>\n<p>When you get this notification, click the green button that says, \u201ctry codes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wikibuy will then find coupons for you.<\/p>\n<p>It should take just a few moments for all coupons to be tested, depending on how many codes WB finds.<\/p>\n<p>When all codes have been tested, WB will automatically apply the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/best-coupon-sites\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best coupon code<\/a> out all of them and displays the total amount of savings.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Earn credit for your purchases<\/h3>\n<p>When you make purchases on sites like Walmart and eBay, you\u2019ll earn credits with a click. You can use your WB credit to buy gift cards, which is another great feature of the browser extension.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/best-cash-back-sites\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">get credits when you shop<\/a> at partnered online stores, by clicking the \u201cok\u201d button in the top right of your browser window when you are prompted through your extension<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s basically how the browser extension works.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pretty simple!<\/p>\n<h2>How the Wikibuy Mobile App Works<\/h2>\n<p>As we mentioned above, the browser extension, so the desktop version, and the Android and iOS app, so the mobile version, work quite differently.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to give you a brief overview of what their <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/best-shopping-apps\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">great shopping app<\/a> has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>We gave you those download links above. You can also visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wikibuy.app.link\/20nUejKxoA\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this page<\/a> and enter your phone number and WB will send you a one-time SMS to download the app.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what features the app has to offer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Search for products and see their latest prices at a variety of partnered retailers. You can compare prices on millions of products.<\/li>\n<li>You can get notified automatically when the prices drop on the items you view.<\/li>\n<li>Search for coupons and offers.<\/li>\n<li>Earn credit on purchases at more than 10,000 stores and restaurants. And, you can earn those credits in-store and online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Now you know how it works, here are some answers to FAQ people have about WB.<\/p>\n<h4>Is Wikibuy spyware or a virus?<\/h4>\n<p>No, it\u2019s a legit tool developed by Capital One.<\/p>\n<h4>What countries is Wikibuy available in?<\/h4>\n<p>Currently, it can only find savings for those in the United States.

You can install the WB browser extension on Safari.<\/p>\n<h4>How do I uninstall Wikibuy?<\/h4>\n<p>If you decide you no longer want to use the extension, then you can uninstall it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to do it for a few different browsers:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google Chrome<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to uninstall Wikibuy on Google Chrome:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the top right corner of your Chrome browser window, right-click the WB button.<\/li>\n<li>Choose \u201cManage Extensions\u201d<\/li>\n<li>At the bottom of the screen, click \u201cRemove Extension,\u201d and this will delete WB.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Mozilla Firefox<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can remove the extension on Mozilla Firefox:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>On the top-right of the browser, click on the icon that has three horizontal lines.<\/li>\n<li>From the list on the left, select \u201cAdd-ons\u201d and click \u201cExtensions.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Click \u201cRemove.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Safari<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps to uninstall the browser on Safari.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open Safari, and then click on the \u201cSafari\u201d button on the taskbar at the top of your Mac\u2019s screen.

Almost always save some money.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cJust saved $45 bucks ordering Party Invitations! I love this! Thanks!\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cWikibuy does all the work. Code applied at checkout! Saved $20.00! Awesome.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cJust saved $8.50 thanks\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cLove it. Always finds me a coupon.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What about the app?<\/h3>\n<p>While WB is well-reviewed on Truspilot, the mobile app doesn\u2019t have as good reviews on the Google Play Store or the App Store.<\/p>\n<p>On Google Play, it has just 2.5 stars.<\/p>\n<p>Most reviewers when talking about the mobile app say that it doesn\u2019t show them the best deal, and they end up finding a better price outside of WB for the product they want to purchase.<\/p>\n<p>This is just one of the reviews that stated this issue:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cMy credit card company suggested it, there were plenty of good reviews, so I tried it. Looked for a quadcopter that costs an average of $189. Wikibuy\u2019s suggested purchase was $304+$5 shipping. Same site has the exact same <a href=\"http:\/\/moneypantry.com\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\" class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"3444465b5041574074\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a>$189. I can neither trust, nor suggest Wikibuy. One good thing: it was easy to uninstall.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Really if the app is supposed to give you good prices, and it doesn\u2019t then it\u2019s not giving you the service that it should.<\/p>\n<p>On the App Store, WB had similarly poor reviews, with a rating of just 2.6 out of 5 stars.<\/p>\n<p>So, the WB browser extension seems great and customers seem to love it. The app however, doesn\u2019t seem liked by users.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Wikibuy Worth It?<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the pros and cons.<\/p>\n<h3>Pros<\/h3>\n<p>There are plenty of great features on offer:<\/p>\n<p><strong>It helps you to get the best price on the stuff you buy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We all know that we should be doing a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/best-price-comparison-apps\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">price comparison<\/a>, but, many of us don\u2019t. The main reason why is simply because doing a price comparison is time-consuming. Going to a bunch of different sites takes time, and many of us are busy and want to be able to shop quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the WB extension <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/shopping-browser-extensions\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">browses prices automatically<\/a> when you shop on Amazon, and you can search for the best prices as well.<\/p>\n<p>It really saves you hours of researching prices on different sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can get coupon codes automatically applied<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Searching for coupon codes that actually work is also time consuming. The fact that WB searches for working coupons and automatically applies them is a real time and money-saver.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s easy to use<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The interface is super simple, and it works right alongside your browser. So it really makes saving money so easy.<\/p>\n<h3>Cons<\/h3>\n<p>There aren\u2019t many cons to the browser extension.<\/p>\n<p>The only one really would be that sometimes there are glitches with price comparison.<\/p>\n<p>While for the most part, it compares prices well, sometimes the extension won\u2019t quite interpret prices properly.<\/p>\n<p>For example, it might not pick up on discounts or sales that are on offer from a website, and refer you to a more expensive option instead.<\/p>\n<p>So, it\u2019s always worth doing a quick bit of research.<\/p>\n<h2>Takeaway<\/h2>\n<p>Overall, we\u2019d recommend using the Wikibuy browser extension. WB is incredibly well-reviewed on Trustpilot, and it\u2019s a legit company.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly though, it can save you a lot of money, and with little to no effort on your part!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/moneypantry.com\/wikibuy-review\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s post, we\u2019re going to do a full review of the Wikibuy browser add-on and let you know whether or not it\u2019s worth using!
