On My Way App Money
So far I just had this app backed into a corner with my other apps working in the background. I have up to one thousand and three hundred dollars in OnMyWay money. I like the app and the concept of it. I have seen a lot of negative reviews. I just want to say there is a lot of potential with this app. Just two questions going forward. Number one: If I wanted to use my money to redeem to get a 500 dollar gift card with my OnMyWayMoney, would I have to just spend that money and pick the place I want or do I need to go refer people and have the amount of OnMyWayMoney in order to get that. I plan to use that gift card in the summer. Second question: I am more of a PayPal guy. So in the future if you ever add PayPal or EBay gift cards, I will be on it. Will that be added to the app in the future? Those are my only questions but I am satisfied with my account and what I have, I just want to know what are the plans for the future so I know what to expect for the summer.

Frustrating
I’ve had the app for more than 2 years. First off, advertising that you’ll be paid is a stretch. You don’t receive cash, and in order to redeem “money” you’ve “earned”, you have to jump through hoops (spend your own money and advertise businesses on your social media) to receive very little of it at any one time.
I do not have the time or inclination to film shameless plugs and put them on my social media for a $5 reward. Besides, with over $3000k earned, can you imagine how that would look?! Yuck! Nor do I even have interest in frequenting most of these businesses we can “redeem rewards” at.
But still, I like the idea, and I thought the crypto option could be great. I was able to buy one share of the NY NFT a year ago. It’s been sold out for some time, with a message that California was coming soon. So I’ve just been hanging out accumulating useless dollars. I’m over $1500 now, and whenever I try to access the crypto reward, I get a black screen. I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled. I’ve tried accessing via the internet….also get nowhere. This is a HUGE disappointment. I’m embarrassed I ever referred my friends and family. And I definitely won’t refer anyone else, maybe not even admit I ever used the app because I look like a fool for allowing them to track me and use my information.

Bummed about this
I was so excited to check this app out and thought it was a great idea! Unfortunately it’s quite scammy. I watched the welcome video and spent some time reading reviews and learning the app. There seem to be 2 ways to earn money- 1. Use your points to buy a part share of an NFT…. A notoriously scammy property that doesn’t translate into actual money for you (but might, maybe, someday, soon, if it’s luckier than all the other NFTs out there…) and 2. To work as the world’s worst paying influencer and make an entire video promoting the app while you’re purchasing food or getting gas, share it with your social media ppl, tag them and friends, etc. For $5. I have friends who get paid $100s or thousands to create and share videos like these, even simple ones. What on earth? Do you want to turn your socials into basically a space for ads? I don’t.
They keep promising in the reviews that it will get better, so I’ll keep it for now. I don’t text and drive so I don’t need the app to force me to leave my phone, but if you need the motivation of earning pretend money, I think it’s good for that! I’m not sure if it will be useful to me in the future, but I hope they make it better or someone makes a good version of this app, because it’s a great idea. It’s just executed poorly, I’m so sad to say.

On my way review
I feel that On My Way is a good way and a good incentive to help people to be focused on the road when driving, and to also reward them for doing so. I’m sure as they say that they’ve helped save many lives! That being said, actually getting rewarded for driving safe was a little tricky. I went through all the steps that I was told to do: Taking a video of my purchase of gas, making sure to say: “Thanks on my way,” on the video, and putting #onmywaydrives on my social media account and tagging two friends. I don’t EVER remember seeing instructions saying that I had to “make the post public,” or “submit the video on my social as well along with the hashtag.” But after several emails back and forth with On My Way, this was what I was told needed to happen in order to receive the $5 cash back in my Venmo. It would really help if there were clearer instructions. I almost felt like I was never going to see the $5, or that they were just going to keep telling me “do this and do that, and was going to lead nowhere. Fortunately though, after completing those extra steps, I did receive the $5 via Venmo today. That’s my only suggestion is to PLEASE add clearer instructions to the app so no one has to go through all that hassle again!!

Good concept
I think the concept of this app is really good. Getting people to stay off of their phones by rewarding them with money. I have yet to be able to get the money. At first the app said it would get it into your bank account. Now there are “store cards” your money can go towards and you have to get an insane amount of money if you want it into your back account. I wanted to use the 250 card but it said I have to refer 250 people! 250 people!!!!! - This was a review I wrote about a year ago and I just not checked the app again and I have over 1000 and there is NO way for me to cash out that money. Only to use it on 5 dollars of mcdonald’s or starbucks. also, you have to video your order and shoutout/post onmyway to even get the money. not worth it. Update months later: i had over 1,000 dollars and they launched a new crypto/nft program and i put over 500 in it under the impression i would be able to sell my nft and get cash. this still hasn’t happened in over 6 months. they keep changing the date in when you will be able to do this. Update: still cannot cash out NFTs like they said i would be able to almost a year ago! i have like 1000 in NFTs and 1001 in on my way and can’t do anything with it!

Not worth it for consumer
I started with this app years ago when you could actually earn on my way cash and then “cash it out” directly to your bank. The twist was that you had to have at least $200. I was right under $200 when the business decided to switch it to NFT. I waited MONTHS for that transition to happen just to find out I couldn’t “cash out” the entirety into crypto. I have almost $400 in OnMyWay cash and I’m told the only way to “cash out” is to redeem awards. In order to do that you have to use your funds first, record a video “shouting out OnMyWay”, and then wait 24-48 hours for your money back. AND you can only use it on gas or food, nothing else. AND you can only do one food and one gas offer a week. In order to get my full $400 that’s taking me like 2 years to earn I would have to record 80 videos which would take me over a year to get back. Absolutely not worth it for the consumer.

Scam
At first I was liking the app now I don't like it at all because you earn so much on here just to be told that you have to pay for your things first with your money record a video and then post the video on social medial which isn't any one business how you get your money then you have to send you video to on my way just for spending your money and then when you lost it to them your not getting paid what you spend your only getting paid what they give you just for your driving I think this is a big scam after all then not only that you have to wait 24-48 hours just to get your money and some time when you clip the coupon they give you the coupon expire in a week so it's all just a scam of using you to drive your own car and spending money that you earned for driving this app is not useful at all and I'm about to delete the app plus they give coupons of places no one ever go to and gas stations that aren't even located well names the same as the gas stations in your city and it's very overwhelming I wouldn't refer this app to any one cause it's a scam

Hi chaqunta, It is not a scam because you do not want to follow the steps required to be paid. The gas stations and food options rotate so if you don't have something in your area now check back in the future!

Cash Back has changed my opinion
I’ve kind of left this app on autopilot and ignored it for several months after that the “$” earned really aren’t much redeemable. But I checked it recently and found they have added cash back offers that can be used regardless of your app cash balance. .50/gallon off on up to 10 gallons at many national gas chains. $5 cash back at various fast food/quick serve restaurants. Just a quick 5-10 second video and the the cash was in my Venmo account by the end of the day. Not bad for a program that doesn’t cost anything to participate in.
