vlingo

Overview

vlingo is a free app that declutters your Gmail inbox by scanning promotional emails and migrating the best deals to the app while clearing spam and expired offers. The app tracks items you care about, alerts you when prices drop, and predicts when brands are likely to discount next using two years of historical data. Members can create Deal Lockers to watch specific products and brands across a network of 3,000 retailers, earning rewards through a community deal-sharing system. New members receive up to $10 as a welcome reward, and the first 1,000 users gain permanent founding member status with accelerated rewards and early access to deals.

Q&A

Do you really give $10 just for joining?

Yes. Connect and help us grow. Depending on the volume of your promotions, you'll receive up to $10 as a prepaid gift card, activated after 90 days connected.

Is it really free?

Yes. The app is free to download and use. The co-op works because members contribute deidentified deal intelligence, which is how everyone gets better matches. That is the trade, stated plainly.

What's a founding member number?

It's your permanent place in line. The first 1,000 members to join get a founding member number, and it never changes — it keeps accelerated rewards on your account for as long as you use vlingo. It also helps us grow relationships with leading brands to get you discounts unseen anywhere.

Which email providers work?

Gmail at launch, with more providers on the roadmap.

How does Vlingo make money if it is free?

Vlingo receives a commission if a purchase is made through a deal it found. The retailer is responsible for the payment, and the price remains unchanged for you, with no additional cost.
