CouponClipinista Review - Not Legit, Very Spammy

CouponClipinista Review - Not Legit, Very Spammy

 UPDATE: CouponClipinista.com has rebranded as FreebieMom.com as an attempt to try to revamp their reputation, but this review still applies. Don't be fooled by the new name or new website look. Here's the new FreebieMom.com Review, which is identical to the CouponClipinista.com Review.

CouponClipinista.com is a couponing blog that has been around for a couple of years. During our time following this blog, we did come across a couple of issues.

PROS:
  • Updated everyday.
  • Posts are in order and are easy to follow, chronologically.
CONS:
Unfortunately, there are a lots of problems that do need to be addressed.
  • Very, very, very cluttered website. Definitely not user friendly.
  • Had a difficult time navigating the website.
  • Hard to distinguish content from ads. This site probably had the most amount of ads that we came across while following all blogs reviewed.
  • Often mentions "RUN!" in Facebook posts, and even post titles, when the coupon or freebie isn't likely to expire soon. Misleading.
  • Norton Anti-Virus did issue a 'Virus Warning' twice during our regular visits, probably due to the amount of ads. Be cautious.
  • Seemed to regularly copy content from other blogs. Very similar wording, and CouponClipinista posted after. Lack of originality.
  • Never ever gives credit to other websites when they post a deal found on another website.
  • Their Facebook page is worse than communism. Mention ANYTHING the admins do not like (including asking if a freebie is legit), and you're banned.
  • Huge logo on website makes it harder to see the actual content. Need to scroll down a lot.
  • Purchased well over 2 million Facebook "Likes". Don't believe the hype, they are purchased "Likes".
BOTTOM LINE: Stay away from CouponClipinista. There are plenty of other websites to visit and are worth your visit. This website is incredibly spammy and is making thousands of dollars a day tricking you into signing up to 'freebies' when in reality, the admins are promoting these spammy offers for a big paycheck.

CouponClipinsta needs to change her name to SpammySweepstakes. She does not offer any coupon deals for her readers and 99% of what she posts is related to entering a sweepstake or giveaway. How did she gain so many facebook followers? It's unbelievable! I also noticed she has the same people who shares her posts within minutes that they are published. Do you think she pays them to share her posts??

I completely have to agree here. I once commented on her Facebook page that a freebie wasn't legit and BOOM, I was banned. I couldn't believe my eyes! And I agree about her buying Facebook fans... she jumped from 1 million fans to 2 million fans in such a short period of time, unbelievable.

Unknown said...

I just got a message I won somethings but need to pay shipping, handling and other fees.

Stacy said...

OMG most misleading blogger of all time. Look at her Facebook page... absolutely misleading everyone to generate clicks

Anonymous said...

Actually she is very really but she had to change his name due to fake user. I myself have got tons of free samples and won things off her page. Please beware of free things she does not message you that you won something. As its posted on her site if its to good to be true then it probably is but there are free things like samples and others she post.

Anonymous said...

Spammiest asshole ever. All she posts are crap sweepstakes that she gets paid to promote. Where's the coupons and deals and freebies?

Anonymous said...

what are you talking about? she posts free samples every day. she also posts instant win games surveys that you can earn gift cards on an more

Anonymous said...

How is this website even allowed to remain up? Take a look at her Facebook page and you'll see how spammy she is. "RUN" "GO NOW HURRY" are just some of the ways she tricks her followers in signing up for the spammy offers she gets paid to post

Jack said...

I am so glad I found this review. CouponClipinista changed her name to FreebieMom...... I wonder why that could be? She/they probably realized how bad their reputation was and decided to rename the site to try to fix the reputation.

Here's a piece of advice..you can fix your reputation by STOP misleading your readers and STOP posting spammy offers.

I came here after FreebieMom banned me from their Facebook page. She posted a spammy offer and I simply asked if it was a legit offer since it didn't look legit. I didn't get a response...all they did was ban me. Thanks for your review..I will take my pageviews to another blog that deserves them and ACTUALLY credits other sites when credit is due. CC/FreebieMom NEVER EVER credits other bloggers. That alone should be a sign telling you to STAY AWAY.

I was messaged by freebie mom tonight saying I won a KitchenAid mixer and "a 1 million dollars". Their English and Grammer is horrible, and she said they needed my name, address, email, zip, etc. To get the forms to release "my prize". Very skeptical.

Freebie Mom's posts on Facebook are so misleading.

Unknown said...

I've been on her page for about 3 years and have had zero problems. I've made close to 1000 dollars through all of the sites she has mentioned. (The survey sites) & my like definitely wasn't paid for, lol. Including all 24 of my facebook friends who have liked her page because of me.

Anonymous said...

I was on the freebie mom Facebook page to ask if anyone ever won the pools she gives away. Instantly I was bombarded with screenshots of proof. I asked how she could afford these prizes, often 20 per night. Not one word from her, no answer. I think these are fake screenshots, this whole thing is a scam.

Anonymous said...

I was wondering about Freebie mom myself. I haven't won anything either. Waiting for free samples though

Anonymous said...

I agree, same thing happened to me. I got banned asking freebie mom for a list of official winners to confirm that the giveaways were legit.

Anonymous said...

Well I will probably soon get banned then because I too just posted the same question on the site. Asked also why the pictures of the prizes are so fishy looking, like a filled swimming pool in someones backyard! lol

Anonymous said...

My wife was just messaged telling her that she had won 10,000 dollars but before they could send the money she would need to go to western union and send over 100.00 in taxes and fees. VERY FISHY!

Anonymous said...

Don't do it. It's a spam!!! Legit sweepstakes don't ask you for money to send you money. Be careful with those website��

rhackney said...

I just got this about a half hour ago and thought this is to good to be true.
Well we all at the Freebies Mom company would like to say congratulation you were been selected for this month first place winner for $250,000 and $1000 gift card weekly also a Bedroom and Kitchen make over once more congratulation!!!!
So glad I decided to so a search on them. First the broken English, which another post mentione . It would be nice to have that sort of money. But I think I'm best not to give them my informatio . Funny thing to is one of my daughters said to me today, Mom you know no one wins that stuff.

Anonymous said...

I just got this exact same message that's crazy so I went through all there questions and then they wanted me to go to western union to pay $350.00 to get some kind of receipt to say I took care of the taxes that's fishy to me needless to say i didn't go through with it

LindaPlaysScrabble said...

There are lots of spammers who try to mislead followers of Freebie Mom. She is very upfront and will tell you NOT TO PAY ANYTHING TO ANYONE. Those are the people trying to con you! She doesn't send friend requests. If you get one it's someone trying to scam you. Not the real Freebie Mom.

Anonymous said...

That is a scam I got it too really sucks that they do this to people.

Anonymous said...

Linda - what do you have to say about her constantly banning people who ask simple questions? Also, how about her buying Facebook fans and MISLEADING the real readers? Open up your eyes. Horrible website.........

I too have been a member of her page at least 2 years. The only thing I have issues with is she doesn't post many freebies anymore. More lately she's posting sponsored ad posts.
I do know she does really give prizes away because I got a $5.00 amazon card. I do wish she'd post winners more often on big prizes... I know a lot of people question those. Her links to her website generates money for each click. She needs to uncluttered her pages a bit.

Anonymous said...

I am a blogger and thank you so much for this review. FreebieMom is a big jerk and is constantly copying content from other blogs like mine. Does she ever link back or credit the original source? No. Please stay away from this blog. Whoever runs this site is a horrible person. It's not hard to link back to the blog you found the deal on.

Unknown said...

I got banned because I asked about a gift card I never received from her. Then she told my husband she didn't ban me. So she is a liar also. Then she banned him

if you pay attention to her many warning and in face her cover photo you would see that she warns against these scam sites over and over...if you are too stupid to read and heed...don't blame it on her

I too was contacted saying I had won 3 big prizes. The man that contacted me claimed to be account manager for freebie mom.com. what I thought was a blessing turned into a complete nitemare over a 12 day period. Things got so bad that I turned everything over to our local police's fraud unit. Beware people this is so wrong.

Jenna said...

Cathey what do you have to say about everything else? about her misleading posts, about her buying her fans, about her banning followers? about her copying posts from other blogs? all things don't add up.

Unknown said...

I can already tell you it wasnt the legit freebie mom it was someone acting like they work for her which she also warns about

Unknown said...

I am trying to find another one to follow because its too hectic. Any advice?

Kacee Nunez said...

I won a prize form her and it never came. I have tried contacting her several times she always says she will check then never responds back to me ever! I have been asking for weeks now.

Unknown said...

She"s buying fb fans? I am on there, haven't won anything, and am not paid. I have shared posts too.

90% of the sweepstakes she post, she gets off another sweepstakes site and never gives them credit because she does not want to lose all the clicks she gets every time a sweepstakes is entered. She makes money on every click she gets. They don't because their links go directly to the sweeps instead of having to go through her page first. It takes forever to enter anything off her page.

Unknown said...

I agree she is fake as hell ! Yeah she is a real person, but all her posts are is affiliate posts. She posts sweeps and instant win games, because she gets extra entries each time someone enters under her link. She is a b*** she steals photos from other blogs, never gives credit to others. She is stingy and greedy. She makes thousands of dollars a month from links being clicked. She calls herself Freebie Mom, yet there are no freebies, on occasion just samples. If you mention the tiniest thing her squeaky little voice self bans you. She is unprofessional and very annoying. She offers these cheap gifts for liking sharing and commenting every one of her posts. She buys her fans. Also she makes it seem like she is giving away sweep prizes for instance: She will say like for $100,000 cash, or comment for car... Then she posts the link that takes you to the sweepstakes. She is all profit and annoying as hell

Unknown said...

Also if you say anything bad to her, her little butt sniffing fans cuss at you they are blind to the fact they are being played. She makes over $50,000 a month, yes you heard that right all from her millions of blind fans

yes the people in her feed are all for the drama i do agree with that but i have won from her multiple time like gift cards even a nice pot and pan set from Rachelle ray threw her post i have won a $20k dream wedding 3 Keurigs shoes clothes $500 visa gift card she not scaming anyone nor is she making post seam to be hers she stated in one of her videos she writes like for car share for $100k because theirs nothing to say on some post the items that she list are part of that giveaway. may be you have and a bad experiences but the way i see she saves me the time to seach for them.

Unknown said...

Yes people win things lol but not from her, it's from the links she steals from other blogs and posts to her FB page. She doesn't give credit. All of her photos on her FB and website are stolen from other blogs and websites, without permission which is so wrong. People are getting together to proceed with legal action against her

Unknown said...

That's because she doesn't give out prizes, she only does that to get likes and shares. The people claiming to win from her, are people she personally knows helping her page grow she is a joke

Anonymous said...

i get what your saying but those links are sent in emails, twitte you can find them any where she does use photos but most of them are from people who have won on her page she used my photos tones of timees all blogers take links from each other. but i have won gift cards and items she has fiven away her self as well the sweepstakes world is getting touchy i myself run a page on facebook i get links from wmails twitter face book ect. i dont have a web page i just post the links she probably does get paid for her page but shes also giving back as well she just made her site so that every time you enyer from her page you earn gift cards she made videos in the atore for items shes given away

Janet said...

I agree with you 100%... I can't believe people are this brainwashed by her scummy ways. I am glad to see some others like us that aren't 100% brainwashed. CC/FreebieMom is the biggest asshole to ever exist.. not one time did she ever credit a blog for a find and on top of that, she is misleading her 'readers' BIG time.

Janet said...

Sorry to burst your bubble but she does NOT 'give back' and she is making TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars on the scammy offers she posts and promotes. Open up your eyes. She isn't doing you any favors.

Missy L said...

She is a SCAM ARTIST!!! She makes money off of all of her followers and she doesn't give back to all of them. What a rip off joke. It's totally not fair to any of her followers. She gets extra entries for giveaways and every time someone signs up under her referrals for surveys she makes money off of THEM. What is she doing with all the money? Definitely not giving back! WAKE UP!

Missy L said...

I have found a page called Moms4Freebies/Coupons who are not like Freebie Mom. They post really good freebies or low cost items. They have a site where you can play the instant win games, sign up for giveaways and sweepstakes and survey sites but they only post freebies on their facebook page

Unknown said...

You guys are trolls...I have won a few times from her and also won a washer and dryer from a sweepstake she posted. Are some of her posts click bait? Sure but that is how she makes money to buy the prizes she gives away. She has made it into a business and that is why there are so many ads....and no her likes werent bought...I have been following her since 2014 when she was well under 1 million likes and have just watched her numbers steadily climb....the reason she changed her name is because she moved away from couponing to focus more on freebies and giveaways. She is 100% legit and y'all are just a bunch of haters.

Anonymous said...

Because she gets paid for each time we click a contest link to enter, let's at least not give her extra entries for every contest we enter through her link. Instead, just click once to see what the contest is. Then, google it and go directly to the site to enter. That way we're not increasing her odds of winning everything by her getting thousands of extra entries when we click all the way through with her links.

Unknown said...

I don't really understand the problem. If you have an issue with a website then you are probably on one of those websites that are a fake that she warned you about. Her original Facebook page is very legit. I have one about 12 prizes over the last year and a half from her page. Somewhere sweepstakes and most were the Amazon bouncy boxes she posts. If you don't want her to get paid for her post then just don't click like simple as that. But yes her stuff is legitimate and her followers are not paid half of my friends list follow her and play thebouncy boxes ��

Anonymous said...

Freebie Mom is such a joke. I was watching her live feed of the wheel, where she picks winners as you comment and like, then she spins the wheel to see what prize you get. She picked my name, and then backtracked and said she was looking at the wrong list, and picked someone else instead. Definitely a scam. I wouldn't be surprised if she was giving away the items to her friends. That is, if she even gives any legit items at all.

Unknown said...

No, the site gets paid every single time it's liked,commented and shared.

Unknown said...

Uh hellloooo�� I've been looking for these duplicate false freebiemom sites for almost a year now and have found zero, good way to throw people off though by saying your getting faked. Your giving false hope and being paid every time someone likes,comments or shares and the big money is in conviencing people to give their emails for every single sweeps on the main page. I had to create a new email due to going from my normal 30 or so to almost a 1000 BS companies and sites I've never heard of. Thanks but no thanks!!! Out of thousands of family and friends combined sharing none have won a SPIN or a 5$ giftcard. Yet I read posts on these type sites saying a single persons won multiple times. But the site says one per house to be fair!! ����we know how and what your doing. Fake. Changed the name because of being called out. Praying it happens again.

Anonymous said...

I have a question. How does she obtain all of the Nes classic systems and the Hatchimals that she gives away?? If she enters a contest, recommends it to her thousands of followers, then she receives thousands of entries and is probably winning the prizes that she has just told us that we could win. I feel that is truly deceptive!! But back to the first question, if no one can find the games and toys to purchase, how is she obtaining them???

Anonymous said...

I forgot to mention in my last post, you can sign up for bouncy boxes through Amazon. You sign up and receive an email every morning. No need to click and line her pockets.

Unknown said...

I was blocked for asking her why I blocked. I didn't know Facebook put a cap on how many times you can comment in a day. Also she didn't like the fact that I took all the names of all her winners from December 1st to Jan 4th and proved that the same people win over and over again. Out of 2.2k likes how is one person going to get their named pulled twice in the 9am gift card giveaway?

Unknown said...

Yeah there are fake sites. And fyi it's more than just one lady. 2 she does ban people for asking questions without warning or explanation. It's ridiculous

Unknown said...

Their Facebook page is worse than communism. Mention ANYTHING the admins do not like (including asking if a freebie is legit), and you're banned.

I can confirm this is true. I commented once with a question (nothing rude in any way) and was immediately blocked from commenting or liking posts on the page.

MeowCrypto said...

She ruined so many things for people. She shares contests that end up making her money, she made InstaGC impossible to earn on now because its cluttered and makes her tons of money because of all her referrals. She blocked me from her site because I shared a contest at the wrong time. Apparently she had changed it to only posting contests/giveaways/sweeps on one post at a certain time of day and I wasn't aware of the change.

A good one that isn't on this list though is https://www.hotfreebees.com

I've actually received a few samples from freebies on their site!

She randomly gives gift cards to those who share that's why we share I get one every once in a while and get content is legit but I agree with misleading post
