Charity Cashback Platform AllGives Announces Browser Extension

by Kyle BurbankMay 30, 2024

A cashback platform with a charity twist is rolling out a new way for customers to earn while shopping online.

About the extension:

This week, AllGives announced the debut of the AllGives Browser Extension. The tool is now available for Google Chrome as well as Microsoft Edge.

With this extension, AllGives users will automatically be prompted to activate cashback offers when they land on one of the more than 300 stores that the platform supports. According to the company, these deals include cashback rates of up to 30%. For example, as of this writing, current offerings include 15% back on Aeropostale, 15% back at Kohl’s, 5% back at Coach, $20 back on Peacock, 25% back on Namecheap, and many more.

For a limited time, AllGives is also offering a bonus to new customers. Currently, when users join and make their first eligible purchase using the AllGives browser extension, they’ll receive $20 in cashback.

About AllGives:

AllGives is a cashback platform that puts an emphasis on supporting charities. While customers do have the option to claim cashback via PayPal, the service encourages donating these funds to non-profit organizations by matching any donations made using the platform. Some of the currently featured charities include Action Against Hunger, Stand Up to Cancer, Save the Children, Global Fund for Women, and more.

Of note, customers must earn a minimum of $20 cashback before they’ll be able to redeem their funds. Additionally, in line with other cashback sites, customers are encouraged to review the terms of each deal before making purchases, as exceptions and exclusions may apply. Returns and refunds from participating stores may also result in adjustments to earned cashback.

What they’re saying:

Announcing the new feature, AllGives founder Andre Gruebele stated, “We are thrilled to offer our users a free and convenient way to give back through their everyday shopping. With the new extension, we are empowering people to save money and support causes they are passionate about at no extra cost or effort.”

My thoughts:

Obviously, aside from the charity component, the concept of AllGives has been done several times before by the likes of Rakuten and many others. Funny enough, AllGives actually mentions some of their competition in the tool’s title in the Google Chrome Store, which reads, “AllGives: Earn Cash Back & Help Charities. Better than Honey & Capital One.” I honestly didn’t know that was a thing you could do, but I guess it’s a good poaching strategy… even if I think it’s a bit strange.

Anyway, I do like the overall idea of AllGives and look forward to giving them a try. In other words, look for a full review in the future.

That's right, I made good on my threat to ditch the Amex Gold Card after the recent update and, instead, will now be an Amex Green Card customer for the first time. So, why did I decide to make this change, what was the...
