{{poemquote|I heard the news today... oh boy.
When I sold FatWallet in 2011, I told myself that I sold the right to complain about whatever happened after that.
I'm immensely proud of what we built—and sad to hear that it will be shutting down very very soon.
I've not been involved at all in the last 6 years, but my heart is with everyone that played a part, either with me, or after me.
It was a hell of a ride.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/timstorm/posts/10154885652603091 {{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}</ref>}}

Shortly thereafter, a FatWallet employee confirmed that FatWallet's owner, Rakuten, would be shutting down the website, but was unable to provide further details.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/off-topic/1586217?showmessage=19972800 |title = FatWallet - Thank you!}}</ref>

On September 22, 2017, FatWallet General Manager Ryan Washatka officially confirmed the site would be shutting down, although the timeline was yet to be determined.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1586370 |title=FatWallet - All good things must come to an end on Monday October 9th, 2017 |website=www.fatwallet.com |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171008003027/https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1586370 |archive-date=8 October 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

On October 9, 2017, at approximately 4:00&nbsp;p.m. EST, the site went offline and began redirecting to Ebates.com.
