Remember the Sandra bullock movie The Net where her identity is stolen? She says It's all there. Everything is all out there for anyone to see. That movie was prophetic. Kind of like Contagion was with Covid 😬
I JUST rewatched that movie last week! It's so creepy!
ALL movies are prophetic. They are predictive programming. Think about that in view of the movies that have been released in the last decade or so, especially the ones where you thought, oh, it will never come to that. ~ Lisa
I'm not trying to overact but that social tab could be potentially dangerous. Thank you for the heads up Christine
Look at one cute couponer video about the ex!!!!
I thought the same thing
It's clearly only people you refer... Not public.
If you want to advise fetch that you aren't behind this there is an option under the contact us on the app to provide feedback specifically about this tab!
@@VampireOnline yes but when it comes to people like Christine or other youtubers that refer a lot of people, that's when it can become very dangerous.
This is common practice. We all quickly click yes stating we read the terms and conditions after scrolling by pages of boring text and never actually reading a word. This kind of information is probably in countless places that you will never even become aware of.
Honestly, the whole leaderboard thing just sounds like another way for the app to encourage you to SHOP SHOP SHOP and try to out-reward your friends, meanwhile continuing to line the pockets of retail corporations and Fetch themselves.
Or, ring things up on more tickets to get more points 🤣🤣🤣😎. One banana gives you as many points as a whole bunch 🤣🤣🤣😎

@@TruthInBeauty Your comment needs to be pinned at the top of the comment section.
@@TruthInBeauty FETCH IS TAKING ADVANTAGE, BEWARE OF FUTURE MOTIVES
I personally don't care if anyone sees my stuff, but it's definitely wrong of them to just do this without even asking people and just saying "delete that app if you don't like it".
I sent a message to Fetch saying I'd see my history than the friends. I will use the dots to disconnect. I'm seeing people that I don't even know.
I agree. I've never cared but I know a lot of people do. And you're right they shouldn't have added this feature.
When you sign up for the app you basically give away your privacy. It says that they will update things and it's your responsibility to check for updates and see what they have changed. I figure we're all on a list somewhere so I pretty much don't care anymore. The things I want to be secret I just don't share.
@@debbykidd9813 you're not wrong, but there's a big difference between sharing with people you don't know/don't care if they know your information and sharing with your friends or people you do know. I really don't care that they have my information but I can see why someone might care if their neighbor or boss or someone is seeing how much they're spending on a certain thing.
@@KaseyHester I can see your point. I don't scan certain receipts for that very reason...😇😎
That's why I never sign up for these things to start with. Our info is already out there. No need to help them access it.
I don't see a need for the tab, but if you thought they weren't selling your info, you're naive. How could a cash back app give away money and still be a profitable business EXCEPT to sell our info? They get the cash for, let's say, Lay's chips from the company that makes the chips on the understanding that they'll turn over the info on who bought the chips, where, and when. It's all about marketing. Social tab or not, they've been sharing your info all along.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I hadn’t even noticed the social button, but now I’ve deleted any “friends” so I don’t have to worry about any personal information being shared.
No worry? Haha!

Thank you for the heads up. It is nice to have you care enough to inform us.
I told my daughter about these apps.... she said she had a bad feeling about them, and won't use any of them. Super awesome you gave everyone a heads up.
SMART DAUGHTER!!
This should scare a lot of preppers. If there are ever extreme food shortages, everyone would be able to see who makes frequent large trips and it puts a target on your back in a situation like that.
Good point.
Exactly 💯
There are some large families who have 6 to 10 kids plus 2 adults. Not my family at all, but I DO stock up on sale items and have a rotating pantry. Can't really go by $ spent per trip especially those who shop monthly not weekly.
@@MichelleD1989 Exactly! And if you don't know a person well enough, people become judgemental without considering those factors like family size, or maybe special dietary needs that are more expensive, etc.
Exactly! This is collecting data to see who is prepped. So scary. I used mine for about two weeks when this started to dawn on me. I deleted it and never used again.
Thank you so much for the heads up on this. I had not noticed that new tab. I followed your instructions and disconnected with everyone that came up. Again, thank you!
Thank you for your honesty, Christine. TO Fetch: This is a COMPLETE BREECH OF PRIVACY AND THIS NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.
I checked mine & had only 1 “friend” - someone I dont even know, so he is removed, now.
I will check in a few weeks and if it is not removed, Im deleting my fetch acct. I miss the good ole days when my business was MY BUSINESS
If you want to advise fetch that you aren't behind this there is an option under the contact us on the app to provide feedback specifically about this tab!
I had a person on my social tab that I don’t know. I have never referred anyone nor did I sign up using a referral. This is concerning
If it was "Wes" that's the founder of the company, who was connected to everyone. If you want to advise fetch that you aren't behind this there is an option under the contact us on the app to provide feedback specifically about this tab!
I had been considering adding Fetch but NOT NOW- thank you very much for your transparency!!! I luv your channel!
Thank you for sharing this information, and for looking out for your viewers! That show your integrity.
Thanks for the heads up Christine - I did just disconnect from the frw people Ive referred - its bad enough that they have all this information on you - but now to implement a social program that serves no good purpose - grrrrr
I only had two people on my social tab. One a former coworker (now a friend) and her husband. I couldn’t figure out how to opt out of the social thing without removing them. No one needs to see how often we go to McDonald’s. 😆
😂😂

Totally legitimate concerns! All of these apps are invading our privacy, it’s just getting more in your face. We used to be consumers but now we are the ones being consumed. Our data is gold.
Thanks for explaining what that even was Christine! I was perplexed at what that even was! Thanks so much for looking out for everyone
OMG Christine! I had not even noticed that tab! Thankfully I only had one friend on there so it was easy to just click disconnect and confirm. Thank you! I do love Fetch!
Thank you so much for making us aware of this. I use this app all the time and this is frustrating. I’m going to do the same as you and try to keep using it for now but will be watching to see if anything else comes of it.
Thanks for the video Christine! My phone was hacked after I got the fetch rewards app. I think it was after the social button was added. Please be careful!
Thank you Christine. You did great letting us know about that tab
I disconnected the couple of people I had on the list. Guess it’s good that I didn’t refer many peeps. 😆
It's very kind of you to alert consumers to this. Thanks for looking out!!
Since you can now scan any receipts, I was able to see where my friends ate dinner ( exact restaurant and the bill) and where they got gas. I'm not happy!
My kid could see where I bought gifts
This is scary!
You can actually disconnect them from seeing were they ate and how much the spend
This was actually my first day using it. And I was able to remove them from watching how much I've spent and places I've gone to
TOTALLY SINISTER
Thank you for pointing this out!! I saw it but didn't think about the privacy issues. 😕
Thank you so much for pointing out how to disconnect. I put the video on hold and took care of mine. There’s definitely no need for this
Thanks for the heads up about this...wow. I did what you suggested, and will keep an eye out for more developments about it!
Thank you for all this information! I’m debating deleting my app but hanging in there for now. Have a Blessed day.
Thank you for pointing this out! I had no clue. I followed your directions and disconnected people right away.
Thank you for your information AND your opinion! I do not like the social tab at all. I will wait and see what happens with it as well. I have to admit it makes me pretty nervous!
Thanks for the heads up on this. Wow! I am not usually one to be concerned with apps gathering the usual info about my purchasing habits, but I definitely don't think it is a good idea to share it with people in you may not really know on a personal level. Privacy is definitely a thing of the past in today's world.

Thank you for the PSA! This is wild - I've disconnected and will wait it out as well. I'm trying to toe the line of knowing everything I do is tracked having a phone and smart devices and not getting too desensitized to it all. 🙃

Thank you for this information. I didn't even notice the new social tab. There was someone I didn't even know on there. I don't even refer people at all, so kinda concerning. I disconnected from the person using your suggestion. Again, thanks!
Same holds true for mall giveaways. Every entry is just data collection that is sold over and over.
Thank you for that information. I had no clue they just added this!!
Let’s face it - Fetch has to be getting something out of this or they wouldn’t be doing it. It’s very hard to tell where your info is going. Thanks Christine
I don't know how exactly but something tells me this ties into the new "metaverse" nonsense. In Texas, metaverse tweeted at HEB about a month ago. HEB is our major grocery store in Texas. Things are linking up.
Always read the fine print. I was going to sign up for ibotta, but it wanted to access my email. Hard pass.
Of course, you know, when you do not pay for the app/product, the product is you, and you pay with yourself
It's definitely a security risk for people in abusive/already stalker situations. For example, someone who feels stuck in an abusive relationship; the app could be the only way they get their own income. If their partner catches wind of the app and/or finds out how much they are spending and redeeming through the app, that could be dangerous nevermind lead to them losing their ability to have a personal stash of money.
Good point. I had a friend who was in an abusive with 3 grade school children, a toddler and a baby so she had stopped working and financially under his thumb. The husband would only give her the credit card to go on approved shopping trips but she had to show him the receipts. She would intentionally over buy so she could return things for cash. She did this quietly on the side so she would have extra cash for an emergency fund and buy things he didn’t pre approve.
@@terryrodriguez6209 Who allows people to return items for cash that were paid for by credit card? ~ Lisa
@@LB-vl3qn some states require if it was paid with debit, then it can be returned for cash
@@llloremod I didn't know that, thanks.

You were right there were 22 people following me! I have never known seen in my life. So I deleted the app. I had heard good things about them from you and other people. That little line, you’ve agreed to the terms of privacy, should state we will take your privacy! Really makes me mad, and they have invaded my life! I’m going to encourage everyone I know that they need to drop Fetch as soon as possible. I’m sure many will after they see what you pointed out to us today. I had no idea who this Wes person had connect me to other unknown people.
Thank you for the heads up!!! WOW!!! That’s not good. 💙💙💙
Thank you for letting us know! I removed the one I was showing, didn’t know who it was.
Thanks for highlighting this. I saw it but didn't think much of it. I did the disconnect as suggested. Thanks again for the info.
I’m glad you made a video about this! Because this has not shown up on my phone yet, Probably because my phone is an iPhone 6s! Lol. However, my coworker was asking me about this. We even emailed fetch rewards and they did not answer her whatsoever regarding the social tab. So again, thank you for making a video so I can show her! I personally I like you I’ll wait and see. If you can make an update video in the future that would be awesome!
OHHH my heck! This is why I felt like I should stop using it about 2 months ago. I couldn't force myself to put in all the holiday receipts.... I just was stuck and couldn't. Well... THIS IS WHY!! Huge problem and no... stopped forever! Thank you for telling us.
I had no idea they were doing this!!! Thank you so much for doing this video....I have some thinking to do!
Thanks for the heads up, I did a disconnect for all on my list, luckily wasn't too long. Too much invasion of privacy, in my opinion.
Thank you very much! I was so confused by this but followed your directions and.....all better. Yes, rolls and butter, yummy! 😋
I had one person in the social tab, Wes...I had NO clue who he was. Disconnected him. Thanks for the heads-up Christine. I never would have checked otherwise.
Edit: Learned Wes was founder. Reminds me of MySpace when Tom, the founder was everyone's friend, lol!!

I thought it odd that I have the social tab as I've never referred anyone to fetch. I checked and I saw one person. I disconnected the person. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the heads up! This is so weird, I don't see the point. Gonna go check my app. 👍
Thank u for the awareness!! I can't believe this. Scary
Thank you for making this video. I saw that new "feature" and didn't understand what it was. Not that anyone cares about my receipts, but it's still good to be informed.
Thank you for letting us know! I went through mine, I had some random people linked to my account. I quickly deleted them. 😬😡
Yeah unfortunately this is a VERY large part of why I don’t use apps like this!
Thanks for the heads up. I’m not happy with this feature. I hope they take it off.
I've never given online purchases or Amazon stuff due to security. Thank you for telling us about this. I will be checking my app right now. This is definitely NOT something they should be doing and with no notice. I don't care for the changes they've been doing and especially encouraging people to spend more!? Ugh....
I just posted a review on the app and it wasn't a happy one. I disconnected the few people I could but there are THOUSANDS under the main person I joined from. 🤦♀️🤦♀️ cannot remove the social tab and I'm sure that all I couldn't disconnect from can still see my "business". Very disappointing 😕
If you don't want people to log data about you, your only option is to pay cash and even then you're on video
@@debbykidd9813 with this being a shopping receipt reward app, that's different than when I make purchases in a store. They are infringing on our privacy in an app without our permission. Different than if I use cash or a debit card in a grocery store for what I purchase.
Yikes! I had no idea! Gonna make sure to clear mine today. I don't know why someone would want to see I shopped at Aldi for $123.42 on the 7th or similar, but it's none of their business!

Love watching you from Korea! This seems crazy~ I have wanted to try it based on your previous videos. However, this would be a huge deterrent if I ever move back to the states.
Thank you for doing a video regarding this social update. I agree I don’t see the point of this on a cash back app.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this info. I checked mine after watching and there was only one connection and it was with some guy that I don’t even know, so not sure how they’re making these connections. It was creepy!
Thx for the update Christine. I hadn’t noticed it yet. Ugh! 🙄
Thanks for the heads up!!
It is my understanding that analytics are going to be a huge deal in the coming years. Especially during a pandemic, more buying from home, having food delivered. Corporations think they need to know all this.
THEY MAKE IT A POINT TO KNOW BECAUSE OF EXPECTED FUTURE FOOD SHORTAGES, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TARGET YOUR HOMES,,, FOOOD PREPS ,, YOUR PLANNED HARD EARNED PREPARTIONS FOR YOUR FAMILIES, YOUR FRUGAL PLANS THROUGH WISDOM AND DISIPLINE, , DRONES CAN TARGET YOUR COMMUNTTES AND PROPERTIES,,, AND YOUR GOODS CAN EVENTUALLY BE CONFISCATED IF GOV. SAYS U HAVE TO SHARE,,OR THAT YOUR GOODS ARE NEEDED ,, FOR MILITARY, ETC
Thank you for the heads-up. I went through and disconnected from people on there . I am going to try and keep using the app for now but will be more cautious.
I noticed the tab and thought how odd it is for me now to be able to see where other people are shopping and what they are buying. Quite frankly, I think this is an invasion of people’s privacy. There was nothing wrong with the way it was before. There’s that old saying, “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.”
Thank you so much for thiS information. It's scary how much information apps collect about us that is not necessary for the app to function.
Thanks for the tip!!! I didn’t even know those people were connected to me!
Thanks for the heads up. Yes, with you on this.
Thank you! Was able to disconnect from ppl that I was connected to that I didn’t even know but was connected to them through Fetch.
I was literally planning to download the app yesterday, when another video about this popped up in my TH-cam feed. I don't feel comfortable sharing that information with everyone, and the fact that they did it without letting you know first is a problem. The other TH-camr brought up the fact that her 13 niece had an account and it was putting young teens in vulnerable positions. I don't plan on getting the app since I don't trust the company to have my well being in mind.
Yikes thanks for the heads up! I was “friends” with someone I don’t even know on there. I quickly disconnected.
Wow!! You’re right they overstepped. That’s not good! I would be livid, too. I got a fetch rewards account but never use it. Thanks for the heads up 👍🏼
Thank you for the alert AND how to disconnect. Not pleased either.
Thanks for sharing this info! I had seen that tab but never took the time to look at it. I just checked it and there was only one guy on there that I didn't know!! :(.
Ok I'm so glad you took the time to explain this change on Fetch rewards. I was linked to one guy, Wes. I have no idea who he is!!!! So after watching your video, I disconnected from him. Thank you. This is creepy for Fetch rewards to do this! I will still use the app but will be more aware of changes on the app!
I have always been very scaptical; I just found out right now about all these apps but as always I check and see what kind of privacy issues people talking about....
Thanks for the info.
I found out about Fetch from Christine and signed up with her link. I went to the social tab today after watching this video and my only "friend" was some guy on the other side of the US. Not sure how we became friends but I disconnected from him. Thanks for sharing this info, Christine!
Me and a couple co-workers noticed this and we saw each others stuff. We went in and disconnected from each other! Not happy with that new addition to the app!!!
Thanks so much for the info.. Happy Holidays
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am Canadian and frequently many of the cashback apps don’t work here the same way they do in the US. I was feeling “left out” that Fetch might not work for us. Now, I think I am grateful. This is really scary and the fact that they didn’t notify anybody is even worse.
I find it interesting that people are talking about why they never did the app and how it's getting info...of course it is. When u shop on any website...they collect information. There really is no way of hiding from someone getting your info. The problem isn't that fetch is collecting your info it is that others may be able to tap into it. At this point, if you have a phone and a credit card...u have no REAL privacy...
Thank you so much for this video. I had notice the beta button but hadn’t clicked on it or anything. I only had one friend and I disconnected from them. I started following you on you tube because of your money saving ideas. Please keep us posted on this issue with fetch rewards app. I like you will continue to use but monitor this app closer.
Wow. Thanks for the heads up. I had not noticed this social tab in Fetch before. Just disconnected from people there. Kinda disturbing and an overstep in privacy, in my opinion.
If you want to advise fetch that you aren't behind this there is an option under the contact us on the app to provide feedback specifically about this tab!
Thank you so much. Videos like this are exactly why I know you’re an ethical person whose advice I can trust.
My thought is that people can't see what items you're buying, BUT...anyone who can see where you've been shopping now has a list of stores at which you might have an online account or store credit card. Depending on the security at each of those stores, and the skill and tenacity of the person doing the prodding, this might give them a leg up to getting your credit card numbers, etc...especially if you participate in those fun little Facebook quizzes and broadcast the answers to possible security questions.
Also, as Julia Marziani pointed out, large grocery purchases might paint a target on your back in the event of food shortages. Preppers beware.
LELA ,,EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO YOU!!!
It's big brother at their finest. If you are a prepper, it's a way to track who you are and what you have. So when the shtf, they know who to target 1st.
Grateful for this video! Deleting my Fetch Rewards now.
I am glad you look into it and made a video not everyone knows about it. I myself found out from another TH-camr
Thank you! I was just wondering about this new thing…I didn’t even know the person who showed up on my app!
Thank you for making this video!
You stirred up a lot of emotion on all sides. Good job!! 🤣😇😎🙊🙉🙈
Thank you for letting us know about the social button. I did what said and disconnected it. What bothers me is there were alot of names and I never referred anyone. I don't know any of those people! 😟
Thx for catching that! I was just going to set up to collect my Amazon receipts. So glad I didn't do that!

I’ve noticed there is someone on my fetch rewards social tab, that I do not know. I’m not happy with this as well. I hope this changes. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Thanks for the heads up Christine, deleting the app now.
Thanks for the heads up.
I never noticed it and was just on it a few days ago. Now I went and checked and there's only 1 person on mine who I don't even know. Not sure how they got there. I've not referred anyone. Thanks for bringing this to light and definitely keep me updated.
