One of the reviews on Chrome Webstore says that the person who used this had two attempts of fraudulent use of his credit card. Moreover, there is a lot of skepticism over a reddit post. I just used it without any research and now I am really scared.

You just pay through Zinc instead of the retailer and they take care of everything for you—even Prime shipping if you're a member with Amazon.
But this isn't exactly true. The benefit of free shipping remains, but anything I tried to purchase was footnoted with:
Ordering with Zinc Save will result in 5-8 day shipping on this order.
Dealkiller in my book.

For what it's worth, I went ahead and signed up anyway. I made a purchase, it saved me a little more than 3% (85 cents on a $19 purchase). Afterward, it noted that it would arrive in an Amazon box, but would not show up on my Amazon account. I'm not happy that it's not going to show up in my Amazon purchase history (I buy a lot on Amazon, making it easy to keep track of past orders), and I'm wondering if I'll have hassles if I need to return items I buy this way. It also appears not to have taken the item out of my Amazon shopping cart when I purchased it through Zinc. That'll prove to be another pain in the butt.
