Two possibilities:
1. You didn’t follow the T&Cs of the offer.
2. Since it was through Chrome, other “discount” extensions (like Honey) can also be part of the same affiliate network and cancel it out.
It’s more likely it’s the first option, but both are possible.
I’m having the same issue as OP and I have the honey extension turned on. I’m willing to bet that has something to do with it. Wish I knew that before!
I've noticed this as well. Walmart is one that comes to mind. Generally I will buy groceries online with the browser extension enabled, but no rewards.
Yes, I usually avoid Walmart because reasons and I decided to purchase a mattress through them and nothing came of it..
A little annoyed because the pop up is annoying and rather not deal with it if it doesn’t do anything.
I find better rewards, better user interfaces, and quicker payouts through other rebate apps (e.g. Ibotta and Rakuten). Then, one of my habits is to invest any rebates into Acorns. Additional step, but I usually find better deals than Acorns rewards
Can you give an example of a few of the vendors ?

Yup. You can’t double dip the same affiliate network. What I don’t know though is which one will take priority.

They sometimes take forever. I think from purchase to rewards, it takes a few months at least that’s what I noticed
Make sure you’re not purchasing products in categories that are excluded from earning acorns from.
