After installation, you'll see the Prospector icon in your browser toolbar. Click it to sign in or create an account.
Sign up with your email address or use Google/Apple sign-in. You'll receive a verification email - click the link to activate your account. Once verified, you can start earning cashback immediately.
Prospector runs quietly in the background while you shop. When you visit a supported store, it automatically activates cashback, finds available coupons, compares prices, and warns you about potential scams. No extra clicks needed!
Cashback remains "pending" until the merchant confirms your purchase (typically 30-90 days). This waiting period allows for returns or cancellations. Once confirmed, your cashback becomes available to withdraw.
Once your balance reaches $10, you can withdraw via PayPal (instant), bank transfer (1-3 days), gift cards (+5% bonus), or $SPLI tokens (+50% bonus). Go to Dashboard > Withdraw to request payout.
If cashback didn't track, submit a Missing Cashback claim within 30 days. Go to Dashboard > Cashback History > Report Missing. Include your order number and purchase date. We'll investigate with the merchant.
At checkout, Prospector automatically tests available coupon codes and applies the one that saves you the most. You'll see a notification showing how much you saved. This happens in seconds without any action needed.
Some coupons have restrictions (first-time buyers, minimum purchase, specific items). If a coupon fails: 1) Check if another code is already applied, 2) Verify cart meets minimum requirements, 3) Try refreshing the page. You can also manually enter codes we find.
When viewing a product, Prospector searches across 10,000+ stores to find the same or similar items at lower prices. You'll see a popup showing alternatives with price differences and cashback rates.
Click the Prospector icon on any product page and select "Track Price". Set your target price and we'll email you when the price drops. Manage all your tracked items in Dashboard > Price Alerts.
When you see a "Scam Blocked" warning, Prospector has detected that the website may be fraudulent. This could be a phishing site impersonating a real store, a known scam operation, or a site with security issues. We recommend leaving immediately.
We analyze domain age, SSL certificates, lookalike URLs (homograph attacks), community reports, and compare against our database of 2M+ known scam sites. Our AI continuously learns new patterns to protect you from emerging threats.
Found a scam we missed? Click the Prospector icon and select "Report This Site". Your report helps protect the community. You can also email security@myprosperousapp.com with details.
