Did you know that according to some estimates, 95% of all purchases will be made online<\/a> by the year 2040?<\/p>\n

Ecommerce is a growing, convenient beast. It doesn't matter if you do nearly all of your shopping online or prefer traditional retail stores, there's no denying that online shopping will continue to be a growing trend.<\/p>\n

Since we're entering Black Friday and the Christmas shopping season, I decided to spin up a quick post on the number one price protection app there is:\u00a0Earny<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I've already written a post on the best money saving browser extensions<\/a> to help prepare online shoppers for the next few months of madness.<\/p>\n

However, I wanted to write an individual Earny review to tackle this price protection system independently given its popularity and relevance for this time of year.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to write this review because I think there are\u00a0way\u00a0<\/em>better Earny alternatives out there for most<\/em> users, and I think the majority of shoppers should steer clear of this money saving platform (more on the reasons why and some great alternatives near the end of this post).<\/p>\n

What Is Earny?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These days, many major brands and credit card companies have policies in place that offer consumers price protection guarantees<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Essentially, price protection safeguards consumers from unfairly losing out on significant price drops within a given amount of time. Generally, price protection lasts between 30-60 days for most purchases.<\/p>\n

So, as a consumer: let's say you buy a pair of sneakers for $100 with your credit card, only to find out that that same pair of sneakers went on sale three weeks later for $60. If you shop with a popular credit card that offers price protection<\/a>, you can usually open a claim and receive the difference in price to save some money.<\/p>\n

Now, since securing price protection savings requires time and the awareness of price drops in the first place, automating this process is definitely the way to go these days.<\/p>\n

That's where popular platforms like the Earny app have found their place in the market.<\/p>\n

How Does Earny Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Earny is very similar to price protection apps like Parbius<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Essentially, Earny connects to the inbox where you receive the majority of your online sales receipts and automatically monitors your purchases for price drops.<\/p>\n

If Earny can find lower deals and your price protection claim is successful, you end up saving money without having to do a thing.<\/p>\n

Since people obviously love free money and easy savings<\/a>, it's isn't surprising that Earny has over 3 million users and has allegedly found savings on more than 85 million purchases, resulting in ‘billions in protected purchases.'<\/p>\n

Sounds good so far, but what\u00a0exactly <\/em>does Earny cover?<\/p>\n
