Convenient Cash Back
By linking your credit and debit cards to Dosh, you automatically receive cash back when you use those cards at participating locations without having to first logon to their website or activate the app. This makes it extremely convenient but there are caveats. You have to swipe your debit card as credit or you don’t get the cash back and if you have an app to one of the restaurants, for example, where you accumulate loyalty points/rewards, you don’t get Dosh cash back if you pay through that app and, conversely, you don’t get the loyalty points/rewards if forego the app and pay with your card. So you have to choose. Other than that, transferring your cash to your bank account once you have enough accumulated is painless but is not immediate and will take a few days to show up, which is par for the course with other types of online transfers. My only desire is to see more participating locations, which will vary depending upon where you are and not always the same. I travel a lot between DC and New England and while most Dunkin’ locations in New England participate, not all in the DC area do, so you have to check the app. But wherever you are in the country, assuming you allow the app to know your location, it’ll show you participating merchants at your current location.Show lessKgintovt

Thanks so much for this thorough review- you nailed it. We love getting you cash back seamlessly. Don't forget that if you do run your card as debit, you can submit a picture of the receipt and we can manually credit you for those :) As a callout, if you transfer to your Venmo account, it only takes one day to receive your funds. We're working on bringing more brands to the app, so keep an eye out!Nice idea
I use other cash back apps for online shopping and liked the idea of this one. However, the number of locations near me that participate is shockingly low. I have $19 in cash back sitting there that I can’t do anything with because I don’t meet the $25 minimum. Most of that is from the sign up bonus but it’s still annoying. I have the app linked to all my cards and I just don’t live near enough participating shops. I got excited with the online shopping addition, thought I could get up to $25 and withdraw the money and then just let it gather whatever pennies it does on my rare Dunkin trip, but I pretty much always use PayPal. I found out AFTER I shopped through Dosh that they aren’t able to provide the cash back if you use PayPal. I wasn’t anticipating this because I’m able to do that through Rakuten with zero issues getting the cash back. So I’m glad it works for the people finding success, but I wish I had known how few options I had when I signed up.Show lessOperaErika
It’s a confused mess, and perhaps dishonest
I successfully linked a dozen or so credit cards (not debit) and used them... and used them. Not one transaction was detected by Dosh (or perhaps Dosh collected my monetizable buying activity and just pretended it didn’t so it wouldn’t have to credit my account), and I waited over 30 days – Dosh says maximum waiting time for account credit is 10 days. Additionally, the cash-out threshold of $20 is high, hard to obtain, and Dosh also requires that you spend money with one of their current partners before you can cash out. Their partner offers are limited, often silly, and probably not anything most people want to waste money on anyway. So you can see how it’s a way to trick you into giving up financial/purchase details and funnel money to their partners. While I was able to get a reply (no resolution, as customer support is pretty powerless) via email, Dosh prefers to conduct communications via – wait for it – Facebook! Who uses Facebook, and how shady is that? The app is also rife with grammatical errors that will make you cringe.Show lessKitten Litter
Giving bank info
I signed up and linked my card months ago earned enough to cash out. Was going to cash out and realized my card was updated from the time due to a damaged card. Now trying to update my card and it wants my bank log in information. I have several accounts on there I am not giving that information. I want to add only my card and it will not let me. Customer service was no help. I should receive a check for the referrals and cash back I earned. It’s not fair I lose it. There is no reason you need my bank log in. Be careful giving your info out to people. I have two stars cause you can earn money if your willing to give them to me very personal information. I lost my money I earned but I guess some of my info can not be bought. Deleting this app I have no use for it. And will not recommend this to anyone.Show lessPersuit01
Simple and quick
Started using Dosh a friend referred me. I started using the app and was pleased to receive extra cash back on purchases I normally made anyway. I referred two people when they had the $15 promotion going on and they’ve enjoyed the app as well. I personally haven’t had any issues with cashing out as other reviewers have. I put in my PayPal info and Dosh deposited money into my account WITHIN TWO HOURS! The only time I’ve transferred money any quicker between two sources is using Cash App for a fee. My only complaint with the app is that the cash back options are limited. The retailers are constantly rotating so a place you received cash back at yesterday might not be listed tomorrow. It’s also much harder to find places if you’re in a smaller city. Other than that, I recommend Dosh!Show lessThe dream_44
Disappointing
I downloaded the app with minimal expectations; if I get a few bucks back here & there then cool, I’m shopping at these places regardless so it’s free money back-love the idea. One thing that I noticed when I first signed up and would check to see which restaurants or companies in my area were participating was that there were hardly any places on the list. I thought maybe it was because the app was relatively new or just hadn’t been made known in this city yet (Buffalo’s not that small of a city but it is what it is) but figured it’d gain popularity and more choices would pop up eventually. Online offers seemed to have a decent list of participating retailers so I figured local places would catch on too. Boy was I wrong. There are even less places on my nearby list for offers and the online retailers have dwindled to about 8 lol (from previously having a couple pages to scroll down). The big one for me is Sephora, both online and in-store. The app started out decent but seems like the marketplace for apps like this has been saturated. Ibotta and ebates have probably three times as many places to shop and the offers are much higher.Show lessAllie8589

Hi Allie, we're sorry to disappoint you with our merchant offerings. Please know that our team is working day and night to add more offers to the app. It is one of our top priorities!Did not work at all
I downloaded in December 2018, received my $5 sign on bonus and cancelled my account at the beginning of March. The app NEVER worked for me. No notifications from any transactions, no history other than the $5 which Dosh can keep, nothing! I contacted customer service several times asking for help but got nowhere and finally I had to get rude and demand for my account to closed. Then someone emailed me back, “oh just send us receipts and your bank statements!” What’s the point?? There were months and months transactions to go through and no receipts kept. This app was so disappointing and I didn’t get even get a chance to really enjoy it.
Update:Dosh I explained through one of my emails that going through 3-4 months of transactions was useless because at one point I stopped using my debit card as credit and that I had no receipts to turn in. Not everyone keeps receipts. Plus would it really be worth it to get a dollar here, .50cents there and have a total of maybe $20?? No, not worth my time digging for long lost receipts or sending copies of my bank statements. After looking at other reviews, I’m not the only person upset and/or disappointed. So Instead of addressing my particular review, you guys apparently need to go back to the drawing board and rework your system so that everyone is happy. So farewell and good luck cuz I’m not downloading this app again.Show lessTherealslimtraci

Hi Tracy, we're sorry that you had trouble getting cash back. Upon looking at your tickets, it looks like Customer Support requested receipts from your missing cash back transactions the same day you submitted your ticket. This is the only way we can issue missing cash back.Waste! Doesn’t work
Update: developer finally responded(to my complaint from back in December)and ask that i jump threw several hoops before by contacting them on Facebook and or twitter with my ticket number because me emailing them wasn’t enough. What if ur a person who doesn’t have Facebook or twitter like my mom , who i referred to use this all sadly as she’s having the same problem. I’m
Not going threw all that every time im supposed to get cash back, there’s way to many other apps i can use. Delete app if u have it and save yourself the trouble!!
I used to love this app for like they first few months. But then it started to be slow to pay or not at all. Walmart was offering a cash back and I went there at least six times since is directly across the street from my house and I was never paid I emailed them they said maybe you try using it as a credit instead of debit purchase I did that and still no payment. I emailed back and never heard anything back. This is a waste of space on my phone. Total gimmick do not download!Show lessToyshigadee
Very disappointed
I was very excited about this app. I have posts on FB and encouraged people to use it.
Not anymore.
I have to make sure I take pics of my receipts because apparently I have to track all my stuff to make sure I get the money back.
I joined because Walmart was one of the places you got cash back from. It was 6% when it started and then I think it dropped to 3% but now it isn’t even on there. Neither is Chevron. Both places I was using for this app.
When I realized I wasn’t getting my money back I sent a support ticket. That was Dec 16th. I got a response Feb 19th finally and was told not to use debit but use credit. Well first of all, you didn’t say that when I signed up and second...2 months to respond??? In the mean time I have been to Walmart 20 and have not gotten my cash back from any of those visits either but I gave up because I don’t have time to track all this myself. I might add that since the December ticket I have used credit at Walmart and still not gotten cash back so it seems regardless of debit or credit you don’t get it unless you track it and send a ticket and send photos of your receipts.
I have recommended this app to friends and family and posted on FB but I don’t feel confident at this point. It has actually been a major pain to use it.
Very poor customer service! You are pushing people to use your app and then don’t take care of the ones who do. Very, very poor customer service.Show lessSaucey73
Greatest
Greatest money laundering scam Judging by theses reviews I definitely will not be downloading this app, was excited at first but definitely not gonna deal with the drama I’m hearing about because if I earn money and they don’t pay me I will find out where there Headquarters are and it’s gonna be a problem. I’ve notice all the developers response to these reviews are saying DM them on Facebook and everything will be resolved. That sound like there embarrassed for being put on blast. I think if this company is not doing good then this app should be pulled, also sounds like their running a money scam think their waiting for people to add up money so they can close accounts and transfer it into their account, im sure they get a cut for all the places they promote. A mess P.S. developers I don’t need to hear your response thanks because I’m not gonna waste my time.Show lessTecmuse23

Hi there, we often ask our reviewers to message us on social media if a) they are having a hard time contacting us via Customer Support or b) we need to chat with them about their issue, which we are unable to do via the review page.
