### 5/5 — RIP, Benny

*2026-04-02, version 1.96.0*

Fun while it lasted.   Several hoops to jump through and photo invoices tend to have a 50 percent success rate.   

Would often need to contact cust. Service to gain credits.

### 1/5 — (I never leave reviews so this is worth reading, I promise!)

*2026-04-01, version 1.96.0*

I specifically made grocery purchases with my EBT benefits on April 1st (EBT deposit day) because Benny advertised cash back deals that would have brought my balance over the $10 cashout threshold. What I didn’t know was that the app was already shutting down that same day — I only found out through Reddit, not from Benny directly. I never received any shutdown notification despite having an active account. When I tried to submit my receipts I got an error saying the app was “no longer accepting new submissions,” customer support was unavailable, and the status page showed everything was fine. I lost the cash back I was counting on and my existing $3 balance will disappear when they close on April 15th because I can’t reach the $10 minimum — again through no fault of my own. If you still have a balance under $10, don’t expect to see that money. Shutting down on EBT deposit day with no warning to active users is shameful.

### 5/5 — Chime bank account

*2026-03-21, version 1.96.0*

Chime bank account

### 1/5 — Not worth the downloading

*2026-03-12, version 1.96.0*

If i could give zero stars i would.The app was great to begin with but when i went to submit a receipt it would say item not found so i tried it again cause i know that i bought an item they had listed,well they considered it fraudulent and closed my account.I never received any money from them and i had money on the account.they said they would look into but i never hear anything back from them.

### 5/5 — Been working well for awhile now. Great for free 1% Cashback.

*2026-02-28, version 1.94.0*

Didn't work well at first but has been improved to now accept my receipts more reliably. Even if you don't use EBT you can earn with this app on certain products each month. Minimum cash out is $10 and goes to your bank account so no messing with stupid gift cards.

### 2/5 — Not a fan of new version

*2026-02-27, version 1.94.0*

I thought it was an OK app up until they changed it so you have to purchase one of the offers in order to start getting EBT cash back. Before that, there were numerous times I had to reach out to support due to issues with the system not detecting my receipts properly. So far, all of the offers I don’t even buy. It is very unfortunate they changed it because I am going to end up just deleting the app since it’s pointless to have

### 1/5 — TRASH AI JUNK NOW!!!!

*2026-02-23, version 1.94.0*

I HAVE YET TO CASH OUT BUT WILL SOON!!! THIS APP HAS GONE TO JUNK IN THE PAST 2 MOS…NO REAL HUMAN!!! ALL AI AND SURVEYS ARE SCAMS!!!!!! THEY DON’T WANT TO HELP GET WHAT IS OWED!! HAD RECEIPTS REJECTED WHEN EVERYTHING WAS CORRECT!!! STAY FAR AWAY LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! NO HELP!!!

### 3/5 — So far it’s just ok

*2026-02-15, version 1.91.0*

Been only using 2-3 days 
It’s ok but  one of my receipts are showing up, they uploaded but that’s it. No points nothing

### 1/5 — Works sometimes destroyer7414

*2026-02-15, version 1.91.0*

Some times it works

### 1/5 — Not worth the hassle

*2026-02-14, version 1.91.0*

When I started using this app, everything went smoothly but over time it has gotten extremely difficult. I’m due for over 4 shopping trips & “item deals”. I had to submit over FIVE reports and when someone FINALLY got back to me they gave me a long list of proof to submit when in fact my Walmart account is synced with this app, which means they can see the purchase history for themselves. Download this app and eventually you will have issues which aren’t your fault.
