There is a new eCoupon service in town, SavingStar. I’m excited about this one because you can use these eCoupons at some of the largest retailers including CVS, Shaws, Giant Eagle, Kroger, Marsh Supermarkets, and many more. There are over 100 retail chains with 21,000 locations nationwide. And in light of the new eCoupon frustrations at Kroger; this is VERY exciting news!
SavingStar works like other eCoupon programs, which means nothing to clip and nothing to print. When you pre-register your store loyalty cards, your savings will be redeemed when your card is swiped at checkout. However, unlike some of the other eCoupon programs, you will not see the savings at the register. Therefore no need to worry about your paper coupon being overrided. From the SavingStar Facebook page: “The checkout person will not ask you to choose between SavingStar coupons and other coupons you may have. Your SavingStar eCoupons work independently from other services and the savings will appear in your account whenever you use them.” You will get your savings deposited into your SavingStaraccount (same company that does eCoupons on Upromise).
You can then redeem your SavingStar savings via Bank Deposit, Paypal, or Amazon gift cards. Once you hit $5, you can select a payout option.
Have you tried this program yet? I am going to try purchasing one of the SavingStar eCoupon items at Kroger this week. I’ll let you know how it works!
Thanks Bargain Briana!

So, it's the same company that does the others like upromise…. I was kinda leery of using my bank account for this but I don't use paypal or amazon.Just wondering if it's safe.

Yes, it is the same company that does Upromise Ecoupons. Do you use those? If so I think you should feel pretty confident of its safety.
