A relatively young cashback service that started active work since 2016.
On this moment Smarty cooperates with more than 1,000 partner stores that are ready to pay cashback to service users.
It is immediately clear that the project is non-trivial. Why? Just look at the domain -
Sonorous, unusual and meaningful. In addition, the site interface creates a pleasant impression from the very first seconds. Everything is harmonious, no unnecessary information around or pop-ups. Simple and stylish.
Unlike most services, Smarty does not promise registration in 10-15 seconds. But this does not mean that the procedure will take longer.
To register, click on the appropriate button on the right in top corner or on the main banner.
A form will open in which you enter your e-mail or phone number, and then click “Register”. Next, a letter will be sent to your email requesting confirmation of registration.
Personal Area
Everything here is still very concise and without unnecessary information.
Just hover your mouse over your profile in the upper right corner to see a drop-down menu with available sections of your personal account.
A little more about each of them:
- My orders- this category displays your order history, including the orders of your friends who registered using your link
- Featured Stores- you can add your favorite stores to have quick access to them
- Invite friends- a referral program that allows you to earn extra money if you invite friends.
- My reviews- you can leave reviews in stores where you made a purchase
- Promo codes- in this section you can use a promotional code to get special conditions or increased cashback. Promotional codes are distributed by partner services, or as part of promotions and competitions.
- Support- the ability to ask questions to service managers through the ticket system.
- Withdrawal of funds- the amount of cashback available for withdrawal is displayed here
- account settings- this is where personal data, e-mail and other parameters are added.
How to get cashback in Smarty.Sale?
The mechanics of receiving cashback are the same as with other services. Before making a purchase in an online store, be sure to go to it through the cashback service website.
Select a store; to do this, you can use a filter by category, popularity, amount or type of cashback.
You can immediately go to the store’s website, or study the detailed conditions for receiving cashback.
After going to the partner store's website, add items to your cart and place your order as usual.
After 30 minutes, you will see the current order in your Smarty Sale personal account in the “My Orders” section. If it is not there for some reason, then it is better to immediately contact technical support.
As for cashback accrual, you will have to wait; the waiting period depends on the store. The average accrual time is up to 14 days.
Cashback withdrawal
Unfortunately, there is no explicit information on cashback withdrawal. From the information that I was able to find, we have the following.
Withdrawals are available to Visa/Mastercard, Webmoney, Qiwi, Yandex.Money and balance mobile phone.
The minimum withdrawal amount is 5 rubles.
Browser plugin
Smarty Sale has a plugin, or extension, that is installed to remind you of the cashback opportunity when you go to a partner site.
This is convenient because it’s unrealistic to remember all 1000+ stores that pay cashback, and you don’t really want to constantly go to the website to check.
When using the extension, you do not have to additionally go to the cashback service website to go to the store.
The plugin is available for Google Chrome, Mozilla, Yandex Browser, Opera.
Mobile app
Like many other services, Smarty Sale has a mobile application iOS-based and Android.
At its core, the application completely replaces working with the service through the web interface. But most likely, not all stores are supported in the mobile application. This is not only a problem with Smarty; other cashback services also have this feature.
This is due, first of all, to the fact that not all stores support data transfer via mobile app.
bonus program
Smarty has its own bonus program to attract new users. It's usually called "Refer a Friend" and allows you to earn extra money.
The initial rate under the program is only 5% of the cashback paid to your referrals. But Smarty also offers $10 for each active user (one who has earned at least 20 USD in cashback).
So, for 5 active users your bonus will be $50. Coupled with 5-7% of the referral cashback earned, this referral program becomes one of the most profitable among all services.
Reviews about Smarty Sale
By tradition, we analyze reviews from independent platforms iRecommend and Otzovik.
And if the rating on Otzovik is high enough, the service is recommended by 76% of users. Then on iRecommend everything is somewhat worse. Firstly, the overall rating is only 3.9 out of 5, which is much lower than the level of top services. In addition, the number of reviews is only 8, which is not very representative.
The situation is somewhat compensated by good grades in Google Play(4.5 out of 5) and AppStore (4.8 out of 5) for the mobile application.
And since the application almost completely copies the main service, the site is quite reliable and can be used.
Conclusion
The general impressions turned out to be blurry. Most of the TOP cashbacks are full of unnecessary information, they have complex navigation and the average user will definitely get confused there.
Everything is great in this regard. Initially, I was very attracted by the simplicity, ease and brevity of the service. Ratings and reviews show that the service is reliable and stable.
But there are moments that I didn't like.
There is no information on the minimum payment and possible ways cashback withdrawal before cashback is credited. What if I am not satisfied with the minimum threshold or the withdrawal methods offered? I want to know this information at the start.
Cashback rates are average, if not low. Many cashback services have a higher base rate and also have a loyalty program that allows you to earn even more cashback over time. Smarty does not have this, although they are trying to compensate for this with promotions and temporary increased cashback.
However, the service is good and decent. If you just want to save money, doing it conveniently and quickly, and also if you don’t bother about tenths and hundredths of a percent of lost cashback, then Smarty.Sale is quite suitable for you.
Moreover, we will have a very interesting guest on our review today - the Smarty cashback service!
It appears often in my posts, so you can trust him.
This way you can translate the name of the service from English.
But I would even say: smart savings.
Interestingly, in the “About Us” column the service says “Worldwide Delivery.”
I wonder what they deliver?
Official statement of the service:
- Smarty.Sale is a service that allows you to save on online purchases.
- Receive discounts and return part of the money for purchases made.
- Currently, more than 1,100 stores of completely different subjects cooperate with us, with delivery and coverage of almost all regions on a planetary scale.
That's it. Sounds very intriguing.
More than 2,000,000 satisfied customers
Worldwide delivery
Stable, regular payments in a convenient way.
1100+ online stores
High commissions up to 50%
24/7 support
Among their advantages they highlight:
- 24/7 support;
- convenient and regular payments of money;
- a large number of stores (over 1100);
- cool payouts up to 50%.
The last point interested me, since it is difficult for an unprepared person to understand what is meant.
And it’s also quite difficult for me, a trained person.
Let's make a guess. Just to begin with, you need to remember: stores pay services for each client they refer, and your cashback comes from this fee. But if we are paid 50% of this amount, then it turns out very offensive.
Services get paid too much for doing next to nothing.
In general, a strange clause was written by “Smarty.Sale” regarding its cashback.
Let's play Sherlock!
The service also states that they have more than 2 million satisfied customers.
Well, of course, they hardly checked everyone about contentment.
But you can easily find out if this is so.
This site revealed that "Smarty.Sale" is actually from Ukraine. But this does not affect the withdrawal of money, in Russia the Smarty-Sale cashback service works (the Internet is a good thing!), so let’s look further.
By the way, about Ukraine . about refunds for purchases of goods and services in this country.
In July, this service was visited by approximately 950 thousand people, so I can easily assume that they didn’t lie to us about 20 million. Pass!
Misunderstandings
It’s interesting that they write that they optimized the site for mobile devices and tablets.
But ordering from them through cashback services is oh, how not good!
The entire cashback system, their cookies, data transfer are not yet configured to receive a refund.
So, maybe Smarty.Sale is ready to award cashback from phones, but stores are not yet ready to pay it.
The rest often have problems, so use a computer or laptop.
UPDATED-2018 ! I personally checked with support - everything works on all devices. I tried it myself - it’s true. So don’t worry about cell phones, everything here is top-notch. There is no reason to worry, everything is smooth.
Stock
From time to time, the cashback service “Smarty.Sale” runs promotions to motivate users to use the “return” service more often.
Or, roughly speaking, spend more.
Usually, no complex actions are required, just make a purchase in a certain category (for example, buy clothes in July 2018) or at a certain time (for example, buy at least something from 12.00 to 15.00 in August 2018).
Cash prize (1.5-2.5k rubles), awarded in Personal Area, from where it can be withdrawn.
Now let's talk about withdrawal of funds.
This service regularly holds some promotions Withdrawal of funds
Cashback “Smarty Sale” is very loyal to withdrawing money, because there is simply a very low minimum wage:
You submit an application, you receive a notification by email, and wait for the money. The service reserves the right to change the withdrawal conditions at any time, but it will warn you if anything happens.
In general, the Smart Sale cashback service claims that it has more than 10 withdrawal routes.
And if jokes aside, then ways to withdraw money.
The only problem is that you can’t meet everyone until you earn the minimum wage, so take my word for it:
- Mobile;
- "Visa";
- "Mastercard";
- "Webmoney";
- "Kiwi";
- "Ya.Money";
- "Paypal";
- "Maestro";
- Interkassa;
- "Privat24" and others.
As you can see, there are many options. That's a plus.
Two is usually enough for me.
Extensions
Of course, no one will pass by such a fashionable thing now - browser plugin. This is a mini-program that is registered in your browser and notifies you when and where a refund of interest is possible in itself.
What are the benefits of extending services?
Let's say you installed such a plugin for yourself, went to a specific store for a specific item, and this is what you get from above:
Knock-knock, I'm cashback, pick me up quickly!
Of course you will take it.
Surely you won’t go to other places to compare offers or look for better ones, because you’re lazy and it takes time.
It turns out that the service seems to bind you to itself with this extension.
What is the disadvantage for the user?
In addition to this attachment with its disadvantage, there is another disadvantage.
The store sees that you basically came on your own and did not make any transitions. This means that you don’t need to pay to the service; because of this, cashback often “does not arrive.”
Of course, cashback services won’t tell you this; they will deny it in every possible way.
But practice, unfortunately, paints just such a situation. However, we need to tell you which browsers there are extensions for:
- "Chromium";
- "Mozilla";
- "Opera";
- "Yandex browser".
Moreover, often in order to attract attention to the plugin, services bother and shove several interesting functions there.
For example, track parcels or product prices, look for an item in other stores. It's all there.
Cashback browser plugins have become a fashionable thing How does Smarty.Sale work?
Here are the main provisions in pictures -
Everything is as usual.
- Find the right store
- Go to it using the link on the service website,
- You're stocking up,
- You see money in your personal account that you will soon be able to withdraw.
To ensure that the interest refund on purchases is accurately credited, the “Smart Sale” cashback service recommends purchasing responsibly and adhering to the following recommendations:
- download the extension from the site itself (Well, you already understand my attitude to this);
- disable all third party plugins(most often this concerns extensions of other services and ad blockers);
- place an order only through the shopping cart in online mode";
- do not use third party discount or bonus programs(, “Mnogo.Ru” and the like);
- use promotional codes only from “Smarty.Sale” ( we'll discuss this later);
- do not go to third-party pages while ordering, don't poke on advertising banners(even though they don’t advertise anything there).
In general, all recommendations are quite standard. I personally advise you to clear your cookies and history before ordering so that the cashback will definitely come. There shouldn’t be any more questions about how to use Smarty.Sale, so let’s move on to the good stuff.
Coupons and promotional codes
Oh, Smarty.Sale really loves this kind of savings, they even have two types of promotional codes.
Store promotional codes
Cashback discounts using promotional codes are not friendly, Smarty knows this, so it checks all cash codes in all stores and compiles a list of allowed ones.
Many people do this - this is the norm.
This is very convenient, you can just come and look at the coupon, and then go back to another service. But I didn't tell you that.
Service promotional codes
In addition to store coupons, there are also coupons from the service itself. They increase cashback. Most often, such coupons arrive in the mail or are published on social networks during holidays or sales.
You can enter the obtained promo code in your personal account in the section of the same name.
Referral program
And not a single cashback service can do without this, because everyone needs users.
- Usually they promise to return from 15 to 25% of the cashback of the friend you referred.
- You will need this information for comparison purposes.
- In general, the website says that you will receive up to 10%.
- The more friends you have, the bigger the bonus.
- The rules say from 5%.
In any case, bringing people here is not very profitable.
You can use it yourself, but invite your friends to another cashback service, where they will give you more for a friend.
Don't have 100 rubles, but have 100 friends.
The rules of the refrigeration program are clearly and clearly stated.
What can't you do?
Additionally
The service can delete your account if you have not used it for more than 3 months. This is cruel for me, I’m not a fan of shopping, I arrange it for myself a couple of times a year.
It turns out that you might have to register again each time. It’s good that the minimum wage here is from five rubles - You can withdraw money immediately.
Interestingly, at the end of the rules there is information that the company is registered in the capital of the Virgin Islands.
I looked at the photos from there and became a little jealous.
Reviews of the cashback service “Smarty.Sale”
There are many reviews about the service on the site itself.
But let's be honest: do you believe it when people leave reviews like this?
Me not, it takes half a second to fake them .
Therefore, I always go to the official VK group of any service, sometimes you can meet dissatisfied citizens there.
This time this did not happen, and there seems to be no activity there at all: a couple of likes, 100-200 views, 6 thousand subscribers.
But on the two most popular review sites in our country, almost all the reviews for cashback from Smart-Sale are positive, and everyone is most often satisfied.
So you can believe!
And if you can believe it, it’s time to compare the rates of this service with its sworn enemies, or simply competitors.
On my own behalf, I would like to note that the cashback service “Smarty.Sale” does not cooperate with “Banderolka”, since it is just a delivery service.
Use the service when placing an order - and no problems.
Here are reviews from otzovik.com:
Shopping online is beneficial in itself, but there are additional ways to save, the best of which is cashback from Aliexpress, eBay, Asos, Lamoda and hundreds of other stores. This is a way to return part of the money spent to a card, mobile phone account or online wallet.
How to get cashback on Aliexpress
First you need to register on our website - it only takes a couple of minutes. After this, you can already receive cashback from Aliexpress or any other store, it is only important to follow one condition: always go to the store from our service.
In other words, you simply go to the list of stores on our website to get cashback (Aliexpress is always at the top of the list). You can also use the filter to see offers from other stores.
If you are used to making purchases from a mobile phone, then you can download the site application for both devices and use it to go to the store to get cashback on Aliexpress.
How to activate cashback on Aliexpress without visiting the site every time? Smarty Sale has such an opportunity - an extension for any browser. Just activate it when you are going to make a purchase, then cashback from Ali or any other store from our list will be credited automatically.
Another advantage of the site is that, having received cashback from Ali, you can withdraw absolutely any amount. While other Aliexpress cashback services require users to accumulate from 500 to 1000 rubles, we allow you to withdraw even amounts less than a dollar. Our support staff is ready to answer any of your questions; you can write to us right now.
Why cashback for Aliexpress may not be credited?
There are several cases when cashback may not come. The most common mistake users make is going straight to the store, without activating the plugin or using the service. Also note that cashback will not be credited with Ali if:
- make a purchase through the Mall, ordering delivery from Russia;
- you buy certificates or coupons on Ali (however, when you pay for goods with certificates, you will receive interest on the purchase);
- you started placing an order from one device and completed it from another.
Smarty.Sale is one of the popular cashback services. The number of active users has reached 1,000,000. Currently, it cooperates with more than 700 online stores around the world. This allows you to make purchases from any corner of the Earth, and at the same time receive cashback from each transaction. They give a good return rate in popular stores. So, for example, up to 3%, when buying in Svyaznoy you will get back up to 4%, and in the ASOS store - up to 6%.

- How does smart sales work?
Smarty Sale is a cashback service that has been operating for three years now. For companies in this niche, operating time is the first indicator of reliability. Cashback platforms that profit from their own customers using fraudulent schemes do not stay afloat for long.
“A penny saves the ruble.” This simple truth has not lost its relevance in our time. Even the smallest savings of a couple of hundred rubles will result in saving a couple of thousand annually, so active buyers turn to. Platforms for returning part of the funds from purchases invite customers to take part in bonus programs ah to attract new customers. Cashback services are platforms where large advertising campaigns are launched that lure users not with bright signs or creative videos, but with real benefits.
Cashback smart sale: benefits
Smarty is an international service. More than 2,000,000 users are registered in the system. This indicator indicates high level trust in the company. In addition to the obvious financial benefits, smart sales have an impressive list of advantages:
The service provides 24/7 support. Any user can read other people's reviews or leave their own in the appropriate section of the menu.
“Overlaps” in the operation of the service rarely arise: here cashback is always counted regardless of which page of the site you clicked on the partner. If there is a possibility that cashback will not be counted when you go to a store, the service will notify you about this. A warning may appear if the client, for example, has browser extensions installed that may interfere with the operation of the site.
How does smart sales work?
The user can choose any convenient format from the three presented:
- mobile app;
- website;
If the client prefers to make purchases through a PC, then the extension is the most convenient option. You can browse through the catalogs of any store, and Smarty Sale itself will provide you with information about cashback on the product, if any.
How much cashback can buyers expect? Each store from the list of partners has an individual rate. For example, on AliExpress they will return only 3%, Citylink upsets customers with a paltry 0.25%, and Read-Gorod and Megafon offer as much as 4.5% and 5.5%, respectively. liters breaks all records, giving customers a record 10%, but this rate is far from the limit. If you get a good promotion or Special offers, then the service promises a record 50-80% cashback. You need to watch the start of these bonus programs like a kite watches chickens: although they are held frequently, they end quickly, since most often these are holiday and seasonal sales.
The “Stores” tab contains a directory of partners. Using a filter, you can sort them by popularity, by newness (partners added recently) and by the amount of royalties.
The last option is the most interesting. If you put this filter on, the list of the most generous partners will first open before your eyes. The leaders in this TOP are banks, that is, purchasing a banking product (usually applying for a loan) will bring the greatest benefit.
In the same tab, you can sort stores by category or select the type of cashback:
- Fixed.
- Percentage of purchase.
- “Hot”, that is, “hot” offers with increased cashback.
The “Coupons and Promo Codes” tab contains a catalog of coupons from partner stores.
They can be sorted by expiration date (the hottest offers will be shown first), by popularity or by newness. Keep in mind that when activating several promotional codes for the same group of products, the discount is not cumulative. The system simply automatically selects the promotional code whose bonus is greater. Promotional codes are not valid on products in stores that are currently running promotions.
If you scroll to the very end of the main page, you can find many useful things. For example, in the “News” section hundreds of interesting articles for the most different topics, one way or another related to trade and shopping. For those who are desperate to find the desired store or promotional code in the site catalog, there is another list format - in alphabetical order.
Studying the geography of your smart sales personal account
One of the undeniable advantages of the cashback service is its simple, intuitive clear interface. Registration takes two clicks.
After you confirm your Mailbox, your personal account will open its doors for you. To enter it, click on your name in the upper right corner (you must first enter your name immediately after registration).
In the “My Orders” tab, you can view the archive of already completed orders or monitor the status of active ones and find out their current location. Let’s make a reservation right away: not everything can be “tracked down.” For example, sellers on Ali often sin by not entering the tracking number of the shipment within the Russian Federation, so it is not always possible to find out where the package is hanging out at the moment.
You can mark your favorite stores with a heart. This icon is displayed in the upper right corner of each partner card in the catalog.
In the “Invite Friends” tab there is your personal referral link. In order for the service to recognize a new user as a client referred by you, your friend must go to the site to register using this link. It is generated automatically at the time of registration. Here you can track your progress along the “referral ladder”: how many active friends have already been referred, how much is left until the next incentive payment (fixed amounts).
Through your personal account, you can start a correspondence with technical support if you have any questions about the operation of the service. The “Withdrawal” tab displays the status of your personal account and the available amounts and systems for withdrawing money.
Smarty sale referral system
Smarty, like many, uses a proven scheme to attract new users - an affiliate program. Active customers themselves bring friends or launch advertising campaigns on available platforms to invite other online shoppers. Naturally, all this is not done for free.
Referrals receive an incentive bonus in the form of 5% of the cashback of the clients they referred. This interest rate is not stable, it increases to 10% as the list of new clients expands. affiliate program Smarty Sale provides another bonus system: payments of 50, 200, 1000 USD. etc. for a certain number of active friends, that is, customers who make large purchases.
