Love this app - so easy to use!

I’ve been using this app for a few years now. It’s tied to our elementary school charitable program & it makes my monthly Scrip purchase a breeze. I can even buy gift cards for my nieces & nephew away at college! So easy to point, click, & purchase gift cards that I can then use in my daily purchases- can you say Starbucks!? Love this app!!

Love, Love, LOVE this app!

Benefit is so easy to use! It makes me feel great to know my shopping is helping a nonprofit in the middle-of-nowhere Kansas! So many apps that help support nonprofits are only for big organizations with name recognition.

Benefit lets you help the small ones that are near and dear to your heart that honestly need the support more because they don’t have the marketing pull to bring in the big donors.

The nonprofit I support is not physically near larger corporations and stores so they also aren’t eligible for some of the grants opportunities larger corporations give out. It’s disappointing they aren’t deemed eligible to apply since people in the middle-of-nowhere still shop at those larger chains through online purchases.

So by buying gift cards through Benefit to those stores we help get them a little support. If you want to join Benefit, but don’t have a nonprofit to support I highly recommend Blair Center for the Arts in Belleville Kansas.

Either way, get the Benefit app! Everyone shops. So everyone can help support nonprofits and charity work one purchase at a time. And, trust me, working in the nonprofit world, your support makes a world of difference.

It is great and super easy to use.

I tell people that setting it up is a 6 on a scale of 1-10, but since your bank info is in it you wouldn’t want it to easy.
However, using it is an easy 1 on simplicity to use. One of the greatest fundraising apps just have to find a way to remind our people that signed up to use it.
Would be a great update for non profits to be able to msg in the app to those who signed up to help their cause, campaign, etc.

I loved it once...

But now it no longer calculates the balance on the Starbucks card I most frequently use. Instead of Refresh Balance which internally calculated the balance remaining, it now expects the user to know exactly what came off the card. Since I hadn’t been keeping receipts I have a card I’ve no idea as to it’s balance.

Love the savings!

You can do it while your in line at a store and purchase just the amount you need. It’s fast and convenient. And you can still use your coupons or codes and rewards for stores your shopping so it’s an extra bonus if you don’t have or want to use credit cards. Although you do have to have a debit or bank account to fund your benefit mobile!
