★★★★★

Ms Fre

The process to get back my VAT was the easiest it's ever been with Global blue. It was so easy. I thought I was missing something. Every qualifying purchase was linked to my passport. Once I downloaded the app, everything was there. At the airport, just go to the kiosk, scan your passport and boarding card and select how you wish to receive your refund.

★★★★

mahmoud fayez

it's a good app, with very good services but it takes sooooo long to contact live agent of customer services

★★★

Roman

It is almost impossible to register through the application. Any switch to the mail client (to receive the code) or password manager (to generate the password) causes the registration screen to be unloaded from memory and resets the entire process. It is better to use the web version of the service

★★

Tom Francis

Offered very little benefit, if any. The exchange rate for the automatic refund to my card was also very poor, about 10% worse than the rate I was receiving from MasterCard. For how easy the kiosks at the airport are to use, this app is a poor alternative and I won't use it again.

Experience in Berlin was futile. Even thow I had the application installed and that made things easier at the shops, I thought it will be the same at the airport. But no. Arriving at the airport, first thing I checked in my luggage, after I walked at the global blue counter to get the custom's validation. The receipts were not enough and the app didn't count. They wanted to see the stuff, (I find this very disrespectful and vulgar) even though all was in the system and regular.
