CLYNK
reviews and complaints

(3) bags of 150 redeemable cans/bottles - shorted 67 each. My $7.50 each bag turned into $4.15 each. $22.50 turned into $12.45! Stopped using service a year ago because I felt I was shorted. Never counted cans or bottles before so was unsure. Currently forced to use service because of COVID19. Does not matter to which store I return. I tried several, thinking it may be store personnel or Clynk driver. Contacted Clynk and told it could be a machine calibration error. Told same again this past week. Possible calibration error with 4th deposit of (150). Account fixed again. 4th time :/ Thank you for happily fixing account for when I take time to count my cans and then, take time out of my day, to follow up with phone call to your company :/ but truly, what is with that? From many trusting people who don't have time or taking the time to "count and call" or who may be on fixed income using this service. It looks like, shame on you, CLYNK.

I sent 2 bags in and counted 100 verified valid deposit containers which should have been $5/bag.. My account was credited $6.25 which means that 75 of my containers were not credited! I have written clynk twice with NO response and warn others that SOMEONE is getting credit and money for other people's bottles/cans! I could possibly see a few off but 75 out of 200! No way!

I am the President of *** We have a CLYNK fundraising account. On On Fri, May 7 at 1:50 PM *** emailed me and said:Hi ***,I tried calling you a few minutes ago but received your voicemail.We tried to deposit funds from your CLYNK to Give account, but it was unsuccessful. Attached you will find a blank *** form. If you could fill it out at your earliest convenience, we will process the payment.On Sun, May 9, 8:35 PM i emailed *** with the updated *** form. May 14, 2:24 PM i emailed *** to ask if the Accounting department got the *** form i did not see the funds into the bank account. May 21, 3:10 PM. *** emailed me back and said this ***: It appears that when the payment bounced, we wrote out a check. It was sent out on 4/29. Did you receive anything yet?*** has not gotten the check yet.

I deposit the bottles at the clynk sit at ***. I know all the bottles have a deposit. I also keep track of the number of bottles i deposit and this company short changes me. I am not working and these bottles help me out financially as I hav 100 to 200 bottles. I call the company and nothing gets done about it

I signed up for CLYNK several weeks ago. As a new member, I was promised a voucher for a free box of CLYNK bags, which I never received, even after calling and speaking with a CLYNK Rep. in May. So I purchased my own CLYNK bags and made my first bag deposit of 115 valid cans that I had previously paid a 5-cent *** bottle deposit on. I should have been given a credit of $5.75 in my clink account, but instead, they shorted me by $3.50, as they had only credited my account for $2.25 for the 115 cans. They have since corrected the mistake, after i sent them an email on June 1 about the error. NOW, on June 9, I made a second bag redemption full of 135 valid ***-bottle deposited cans, and I should have been credited back $6.75 to my CLYNK account, but for the second time in a row, they've shorted me - again. They only credited me $4.65 for the 135 cans and plastic bottles (ALL valid for 5-cent reimbursement, *** and *** ) . Twice in a row now, they have shorted me. On June 12 I sent them another email about this second error and now they're not replying to me. They still owe me $2.10 for the last drop-off on June 9. I believe I am finished with using CLYNK services. They have not been reimbursing me correctly.

Clynk is supposed to give you the full deposit (for my state, 5 cents) for each valid container you drop off. My first two bags had around 115 in each. Each had over 100 for sure before another 10-20 were added before dropping off. All were either very obvious brands (*** or *** cans, or *** bottled water) that would definitely be in their system, or a small number of off brand glass soda bottles that should be in their system since they were bought at their parent company ***. We were credited with just $9.25. So it was AT LEAST $2 off. Because of this, the next bag dropped off was counted and was exactly 150 containers. But instead of the $7.50, we were credited with just $4.70. Almost 40% less. All totaled, we have been shorted about $6 on about $19 worth of containers. So about 30%. There is no way that is an honest mistake.

Since July , I have dropped off a total of 9 CLYNK bags at the *** location in ***, ***. Each bad had approximately 118 cans and/or bottles in it. I count the totals each time. I have only been credited a total of $0.40 in my account. I have ensured that each bag is a CLYNK bag, and that each bag has a label on it. Per ***, the scanner does not work and they have a sign up advising to put your full bags in a chute for CLYNK pickup. I understand that with COVID, the staffing may not be adequate, and if so, I can wait to be credited. I just want to be sure the bags have been received and that I will get credited in the near future. 9 bags at 118 in each bag at $0.05 each equals $53.10. Thank you.

I am shorted every single drop off I make. I have resorted to video taping my count and drop off in case proof is needed. I have also had money taken out of my account for no valid reason and customer service cannot explain why My last drop off was 2 bags each with 135 in them. My credit should have been $13.50. They only credited me $6.65! That is the biggest discrepancy so far. When I call, the rude cs representatives reluctantly credits my account but the fact remains they are totally ripping people off. I advice everyone to do the same as I did, video tape so you have proof . I can feel a class action suit coming.
