RetailMeNot Mobile Coupons App for iPhone and Android

SimpleAssist - SimplEassistme.com LifeSync App Spottlight - There are many coupon type of sites of all shapes and sizes. However, this is one where i have had the best results and can put my stamp of approval in terms of it's repubutibility. As a #technogyconsultant, having removed MANY a #computerinfection caused by some type of #couponprinter #toolbar or some software that offers you discounts, like a #couponmanager, Why all the peramble? Because today is a day to be carefui as scammers are out in force (I will be detaling that in a few momentsm careful about reommending apps or services which seemingly offer something for nothing. Whether your here in The Catskill Mountains or on the California Breed, nobody want's software tracking their habits and opening up their system to possibly more sinister #malware which is tracking your habbits and potentially opening up to more sinsister infection. Let's face it, why would you need software to print a coupon!? Anyhow, I learned from my better half a few years back, one who never pays full price for anything online, about Retailmenot.com several years ago. Many are familiar with apps such as #Groupon, however RetailMeNot is a brilliantly simple concept where users are able post coupon codes / promo codes that they have received via email, a reward system etc. which are used while checking out in the "Enter #CouponCode / #PromoCode while #onlineshopping. It could be free shipping, to buy one get one, to a percentage off but here's the best part; not only is it s super simple to use, you can save precious time by reviewing the detail assoicated with the coupon such as the expiration, restrictions etc. The most important piece, in my opinion, is that there is a "voting/ranking" system that gives you a Rotten Tomatoes type rank of how likely it is to work and any type of problems others have experienced in order to do so. If there is not a coupon code, there may be a aink that takes you directly to the retailer website. For me, this adds a level of legitimacy as I know they are taking me to the actual store. As a side note to safety, as I always tell my clients - always watch the address bar (www....) on any site to make sure when you click a link you are going to a legitmate page. Many spoofs will setup a domain and copy a site's look and feel to steal your credit card info, simply because you were redirected to a link that looks almost exactly the same but is slightly off ( e.g. faceboo instead of facebook or .org instead of .com). Beware of sites that want you to do something in order to see the coupon code. As you are on the go, Retailmenot now has a brand new app that lets you find deals on the fly.
