Life comes at you fast. There’s not always time to clip coupons — even if you do it digitally.
Now you don’t have to.
Do you use a Visa card to pay for your groceries (or at restaurants)? If so, there’s a tool that’ll automatically find and apply coupons for you — for free.
It’s called Trim, and it’s a bot that works through Facebook Messenger.
Here’s how it works: Connect your Messenger account. If you’ve missed a special or coupon at the grocery store, Trim will Facebook message you.
Opt to activate Trim’s offer, and you’ll get paid for what you missed out on.
If you sign up now and connect your Visa card, you’ll also get $10 off any grocery purchase of $50 or more — and let’s be real, that’s not an uncommon occurrence. It’ll show up on your account as a statement credit.
New users are eligible for up to $40 in cash-back deals as soon as they sign up.
How do you get paid with Trim?
Once you’ve activated an offer, you’ll get a credit on your Visa card in the next 5-7 days. (Sorry, MasterCard and Amex don’t work with this app.)
The next time you make a qualifying purchase with your Visa card, that credit will go toward the cost of your purchase.
The debit card question.
I know what you’re thinking: What if I use a Visa debit card to buy my groceries?
It’ll still work. If you’re swiping a Visa debit card, just select “credit” instead of “debit” at the checkout counter. Also, you must not use a Personal Identification Number (PIN).
It’s that easy.
Trim says you can expect to get a free money-saving offer about once a week.
Did we mention there’s no fee for this? Because there’s no fee for this.
Trim’s Other Free Services
In addition to saving you money on groceries, Trim is basically a free financial assistant.
