Thanks for the hunt! This is one of the first companies we are incubating & launching this year at Science! (Dollar Shave Club, DogVacay, Wishbone are previous ones) After building & selling BillShrink to MasterCard years ago I finally found an amazing company that will keep doing what we started. @ovakrat @doriyona has built a bot that will let you just buy what you want, where ever you want online & never price shop again. Basically we all know the word "price protection" but we had to manually track it post purchase, & claim it filling out clunky forms or make phone calls. No more, Earny will keep digging for you & automatically get you the refund from over 50 Online stores & of course more coming! We also announced we raised $1M for this http://venturebeat.com/2016/05/0... thank you @adamnash @bonforte for joining the cause. This team is amazing.. They recently won the Mastercard hackathon & will be working with them closely http://newsroom.mastercard.com/2...

@jmacias @paribus A retailed can refund you only once. so first arrive first serve. in my experience Paribus has become unreliable in detecting and refunding price differences on Amazon.

@ourielohayon @jmacias True. Also, @paribus cannot track purchases when you have 2FA enabled on Amazon.

Hi @itsshashank, Ilan, CTO here. In order to keep your data safe and secure, we never store or get access to your passwords if you are connecting with your Gmail or Microsoft mailbox. We use an oauth2 authentication for these providers, so that we only have access to a token provided by Google or Microsoft. If you use a different email provider, your credentials are encrypted through AES-256. Our cryptographic keys are stored in high level security vault, with an FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated HSMs (hardware security module) encryption and validation. Also, a bit about myself- I have a Master's Degree in Cybersecurity, and a high-level of experience in a Government Cybersecurity Agency- so rest assured that your security and privacy is my FIRST priority!

@i_zerbib how about for credit cards? I already see a review in the App Store from someone concerned about their CC possibly being stolen from this app. I also feel pretty uncomfortable giving over that information.

@ovakrat sorry for the late in the day question, but as a happy Paribus user how would you differentiate this offering from theirs?

@jmacias Why late? We just started. Our mission is to give you the confidence to purchase wherever you want - so we are protecting any store from the top 50 stores in the US. I'm sure that the post-purchase family will grow a lot in the next few years. Thanks for the question and it's great to hear that you are satisfied.

@jmacias @ovakrat I'd also love to know this. After seeing @paribus I notice that even @slice (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) as this functionality and I've been using Slice for years because of the shipping tracking software. They also give you data on your purchase history.

@tannerhchung @jmacias I suggest you register to our 90/60 days of automated credit card price protection program for Chase and CitiBank cards (including refunds on Amazon purchases). I would love to get your feedback two weeks into using it. http://twocents.lifehacker.com/e...

Hi All! Founders of @AppEarny are here! Imagine you can use technology to automate your friend's greatest strengths and then share that with the world! That's what we did. Meet @DoriYona - my best friend and co-founder. He has a unique skill of finding the best prices, the best deals and knows by heart the fine prints of every company and credit card in the world. The one time I ever found a better price than him, was when I bought a blazer from Zara - he contacted Visa and was able to get $65 back 2 months after his purchase! We asked our CTO @I_Zerbib to build a bot that automates it - Meet Earny: Earny is a personal assistant that automatically gets you money back on almost every purchase you make. Every item you purchase, Earny will work behind the scenes searching for better prices at other stores and for price drops after your initial purchase - so you will get back the difference. Earny is automating the price protection policy in order to get you money back on almost all commerce purchases. Our broader vision, and that's what I would like to bring up here is: We want Earny to provide an umbrella of services to give consumers the best price on every payment they make. I would like hear the community's thoughts and to get your feedback around new ways of improving our reach. Most importantly, more services that can join us and help us create the Friendliest Bot Ever (FBE)! One that makes you money and always watches your back! Happy Earning!

@paribus only seems to work on US websites of stores (eg Amazon). Does this work globally yet, or will that support be coming later?

Can't really review because I'm not in the US + on Android, but from the comments I would have needed to give you a lot of control and data about me (Google? Amazon? CC?!). I was thinking it's as easy as "Send us the receipt and we'll take it from there. Which sounds awesome! but why do you need all that access? I need a good reason, not the usual "hey we just wanna do everything automagically by scanning all your data" - that excuse just doesn't fly with privacy minded folks. Stating you have a strong cyber security background means practically NOTHING, people here are (hopefully) aware that nothing in the tech world is as secure as advertised, especially not products that revolve around money. I wish more companies add this thought to their decision making process: "What is the minimum amount of data we need from our users to make this product work?" Privacy and security aside, this looks like an awesome product. Kudos!

@danr_4 Earny asks for CC in order to charge for a successful refund. I'm much more worried about logging into new apps with my FB account than I am about my CC. I understand your concern and we are definitely taking it into consideration, but we don't want Earny to do half of the job. If you're a Citibank member you can use their Price Rewind program and they will alert you when the price drops. You can also use price comparison engines in order to find better prices on your purchases and then fill out the claims. When you are tired of doing all this, we would love to get you on board!
