They’ve stopped mine because they need me to show more sources of income? And they don’t allow non-plaid connections to Fidelity. Don’t bother with the app, constantly making it harder to get the GC over time. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch ad offering $5 Dunkin credit per week for 52 weeks but they stopped after 2weeks…WOW *2025-07-09, version 2.3.194* I clicked on an ad that offers a $5 Dunkin Coffee credit every week for 52 weeks as long as I have the app on my phone. They stopped the credits after 2 weeks. They are scammers and it’s sad that marketing has come to this now. I’m assuming people don’t write reviews or they just hope this would increase their fake app user stats. Whichever investor has invested in this is clearly not paying attention how they run this business. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2025-06-26, version 2.3.194* I’ve had my account with Aven for years. I followed all the steps to sign up properly and never received the $5 sign up bonus. Also, I’ve used their referral program and have referred quite a few people and never received the $5 bonus for my referrals. I’ve reached out to their customer support team multiple times through email and never received a response. I’ve made the mistake by signing back up thinking it would change but nothing has yet to happen. I’ve wasted a lot of my time using this app and I feel like I’m wasting my time writing this review. I’m done using this app for good. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-06-24, version 2.3.194* Signed up for an account to receive a $5 Starbucks card weekly. Still haven’t received a gift card for two weeks and have tried emailing the company multiple times with no response. Clearly they are just trying to scam people. ### 1/5 — No customer service *2025-06-13, version 2.3.194* Customer service is non existent. I’ve qualified for the Starbucks since joining yet it tells me I don’t know my home in a qualified state which I certainly do. I emailed and FB message with 0 Response. Would not recommend ### 1/5 — Sign up Error *2025-06-06, version 2.3.194* Brooklyn NY addresses are read as invalid and I can’t sign up. I’ve redownloaded the app and it still doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Don’t trust it *2025-05-31, version 2.3.194* This app never works when you need it to, it always says I got paid 5 days after, says my bank account is below $100 when it’s not even close, says my borrowing power and credit score are way off… the weekly $1000 contest is fun and my friend actually won it recently, but the app never loads for me when it’s time to log in to enter to win… this week it said my internet was down (it wasn’t) and that I should try my mobile device… I only have this app on my phone!! The headaches are not worth the minuscule chance to win $1000… not recommended. Update, as of last week and this week too, it seems the quit doing the weekly $1000 drawing. So now there is NO reason to use this app… it’s absolutely pointless. ### 1/5 — Seems like a scam *2025-05-27, version 2.3.194* Had this for several months and I’m always “on the waitlist”. I signed up for the free Starbucks and now they have all my data and I get nothing from this scammy company. ### 1/5 — bug *2025-05-21, version 2.3.194* The page stuck at Plaid verification “continue to Aven advisor to finish account linking”. No button to turn it off to jump to next step. You should fix it on iPad version. ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2025-05-15, version 2.3.194* The app doesn’t work. Takes all your info and then just loads over and over again. Dont fall for this scam ### 2/5 — Don’t trust it *2025-05-03* This app never works when you need it to, it always says I got paid 5 days after, says my bank account is below $100 when it’s not even close, says my borrowing power and credit score are way off… the weekly $1000 contest is fun and my friend actually won it recently, but the app never loads for me when it’s time to log in to enter to win… this week it said my internet was down (it wasn’t) and that I should try my mobile device… I only have this app on my phone!! The headaches are not worth the minuscule chance to win $1000… not recommended ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Weekly Sweepstakes No Longer Working *2026-08-08, version 2.3.212* Rewards part of the app is not working for the last two weeks. Just stuck on “Looking for a winner” 😔 ### 1/5 — Weekly drawing *2026-08-07, version 2.3.212* Locked and cannot participate ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch *2026-02-07, version 2.3.212* Advertisement says that I get Starbucks every week for one year. I read all of the small text and there was no mention that I would be entered into a raffle. Do NOT waste your time with this app. Complete scam! ### 1/5 — Scammy promo *2025-12-24, version 2.3.212* I downloaded and link my bank account to it to get free dunken but it is scam and not getting my coffee at all ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2025-12-08, version 2.3.212* Not eligible for Starbucks card ### 1/5 — Needs Work *2025-09-13, version 2.3.211* The free $5 gift cards only work for a certain number of weeks, i.e. 24 weeks. Disappointing. Even worse, for their cash giveaway each Friday at 9pm, the app completely crashes and is inoperable shortly before and during 9pm, so you can’t actually enter to win. And worst of all - the financial information on the app is completely wrong. Home value is wrong, debt is wrong, credit card balances are wrong. Terrible app! ### 1/5 — App is a joke *2025-08-27, version 2.3.211* I’ve been waiting for awhile for my payout from referrals. Nothing. I got bank and card set up with stripe and is accepted. Still nothing. And there is no kind of support to contact. They send you a link to set up a call back. But when you put your number in it says no booking dates available like wth for real. Stop scamming people or get your app working like it should. And anyone who has left a good review on this app either got paid to or they aren’t real. This is app is a JOKE. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-08-16, version 2.3.210* It is a lie and a scam if you don’t spend money on apps do not download ### 1/5 — Built on false promises *2025-07-27, version 2.3.194* States you get some gift cards for using their app, well that is not true at all. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-07-16, version 2.3.194* After set up, terms change to require direct deposit for promotions. Linked direct deposit accounts aren’t recognized by the app. Direct deposits from US Treasury not recognized. Email support and no response. Beware of bait and switch after collecting all your info. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-07, version 2.3.212* Simply great ### 5/5 — Tommy *2025-11-08, version 2.3.212* So far so good ### 5/5 — N/a *2025-10-24, version 2.3.212* N/a ### 5/5 — Aven credit app with free weekly Starbucks *2025-09-14, version 2.3.211* I got free $5 sign up, then free weekly Starbucks gift card for drink up to 52 wks.
