Will this only scan the inbox? Or will it scan the email account? I usually auto-file receipts to a different folder, so wondering if this affects the service?
@gioismeyo Hey Nick. We use webhooks to pull receipts which hit your "inbox" folder. We are working on a fix to pull receipts from all folders and this should be up in the next few days. Meanwhile, if you want, you can move recent receipts to the inbox folder and ping me directly so I can trigger a re-sync. How does that sound ?
This is awesome! Great work and an awesome idea, can already tell there was a ton of leg work done to make this as seamless as possible. How do you guys issue the cash-back to the user?
@charleyma Thanks man, hard at work like everyone here. Love what you guys are up to at Plaid btw!
On cash-back - When Paribus engages successfully on your behalf and a store issues you a price adjustment, the store will typically refund money directly onto your original form of payment.
@eglyman wow very cool, makes it even more of a no-brainer to sign-up. Glad to hear you're fans of Plaid too, one of our engineers told us about you guys a while ago!

Love, love, LOVE this service. I've already had four successful claims! At the rate I'm saving, using Paribus will easily cover the cost of my yearly Amazon Prime subscription. If you don't have Amazon Prime yet, order it, use Paribus, make money.
i am set on it. waiting for the first bucks :) but today Poachit announced they re shutting their doors. How do you explain it? and what will make you stick?
@ourielohayon Cheers -- we'll be on it!
I think that Poachit and many other "price tracking" apps are in a very tough category. As I understand it, their entire business model was based on having you make a purchase through affiliate links. So truthfully, their competition was never other price tracking websites -- it was Amazon, Google, Best Buy and all the other forms of product searching. Very unforgiving competition, and hard to convince people to buy direct through you.
We think the "set it and forget it" appeal of Paribus will help us succeed where others have not.

I mean, could you just mail me money? Because that would be the only thing better than this concept. Good luck pulling it off!
Congrats on the launch. This is a great concept as it provides actual value passively. Signing up now. This reminds me of my Tripit Pro account which saves me a few hundred a year when a VA or Southwest flight price drops. However this is better because I don't have to do anything.
Will you support multiple e-mail accounts in the future or will I need separate accounts?

Sounds really interesting - just not sure it it will actually work as there are so many variables to consider. If it does, you certainly have a great product on your hands.
