  • Scam Stay Away!

    I used apple pay to make my purchase using Slide. The purchase went through and I got a message saying they couldn’t verify my identity and my payment didn’t go through. It also says I got charged and they will reimburse me 3 days later!!! What is this???? Why make an app you use to pay and when you pay they deny you and take your money???? Says to call customer service to verify my identity, but customer service is only available mon-fri and it is sunday. Don’t use this app if you don’t want them to take your money. Now I have a charge on my account I have to wait for because they are the only online place where you purchase something and they deny you and take your money because of “identity” literally makes no sense.
  • Bought gift card but says account is locked so can’t find it

    Doesn’t work for me. Every time I try to use the app it says my account is locked. I emailed and it said my account was approved so I went to buy a gift card and it says my account is locked again. I don’t see the gift card but I see it went through on my PayPal. It seems like it could be a good app but it’s not yet at least not for me. I also tried calling but after waiting about an hour and a half had to give up. So frustrating.
  • Gift cards not working, no phone support

    I attempted my first purchase today and received multiple errors when I tried to buy Apple gift cards. I tried calling support and it hangs up instantly after I try to speak with an agent.

    I don’t know if there is an outage or anything, but the lack of communication is unacceptable. I also deposited $1k to get the extra 1% cash back, so if this is not resolved soon, I will demand to be refunded and will ensure my network knows about the unreliability of this app.
  • A Raise app

    Gave it 5 stars so it can be posted at the top. I received a referral link for this app and was told I’ll have the chance to get up to $20 in gift cards by just referring. Well I got my $5 sign up bonus but as I go to redeem it on my account. They lock my account and say that the payment can’t be verified. How ? If I’m using the money YALL GAVE ME ! Now I’m on hold for 30 mins to verify my payment and get my account unlocked. These people so weird. I hate it
  • Best way to save on daily purchases

    I use slide almost everyday for my coffee purchases and i love the fact that I am getting 4% cash back on it. You don’t realize how much cash back you’ve earned until you look at your account at the end of the month. Slide has some of the retailers that we as consumers use almost everyday so why not get some cash back on it ? 👍🏻
  • App is annoying

    People who design apps should be forced to use them as punishment. I think the programmers had just covered slidy overlays the day they programmed this.
    You lose half the screen because of the sliding crap at the top of the screen.
    I’ve only got 5 inches of screen space and you cover half of it with useless crap instead of showing me more options where I can buy stuff. Poor UX.
  • You need to do a lot of work with voiceover

    How do you expect a blind person to use this app if your app is haphazardly put together. Quite simple, your graphics and buttons are very unlabeled, and they need to be labeled. You better be glad I’m not part of Apple‘s accessibility team, because I would reject your app out right due to the fact. I wish Apple would take a harder stance on developers like this. Why not labeling your apps buttons and graphics, that is very unacceptable. I think Apple needs to take a harder stance on policies like this, if your app does not have labeled buttons, and your graphics are not clearly labeled for voiceover users, when they clearly Canby, then you should just flat out get rejected for this.
  • Customer services cannot solve my problem

    Try to make a purchase, shows my account is temporarily locked and have to call customer services, which I totally understand. Call the customer service several times, each time at least 30min waiting, and speak to customer services representatives, they told me my account now has been verified and should be good to go, I tried, still not working, then they ask me to wait an hour and give another try, which still didn’t work. It’s painful to wait and try again and again. I recommend people who consider using this switch to another site.
  • 5/5 - App deserves more love

    Not sure why this app hasn’t picked up steam. This is the only way to earn 4% cash back on ebay + iTunes gift cards. There are other apps out there and ways to get discounts on both, but I haven’t found anything better. This app is made by the creators of Raise so you’d assume it’d garner a bit more attention. And it deserves it from what I’ve seen. All the other reviews that aren’t 5/5 don’t seem to understand how GPT programs work when they’re saying they need to support more companies etc. That’s something I’m sure they’re working on but it’s not a simple task. I plan to use this any time I plan to fund my eBay account or buy some more apps on my phone. 4% is 4%.
  • So simple. So genius.

    I am always trying to find ways to save and make my money work harder. In comes slide which acts like a credit card that offers 4% cash back on my favorite brands! No other app or credit card offers those much cash back-it's seriously genius! Can't wait to see what they come up with in future releases.
