### 2/5 — Doesn’t provide easy access to important information

*2025-03-23*

The main reason I downloaded this app was so I would have easy access to information on what the Difference card will pay and what I am required to pay when I am at a providers office. This information is not easily accessible. Instead of it being on the home page I’m still required to download a document or go to the website and open a document that is barely legible. No reason to have an app if it doesn’t give me what I need.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2024-02-05, version 23.11.00*

The app, login, forgot password, none of it is working.  Not sure how the mark can be missed on such a basic level of customer care

### 1/5 — Not User Friendly

*2024-02-04*

I have had Diff Card for many years now and never have their services been user friendly except the one year or so the submissions for payment involved uploading a pic or scan of a bill. That seemed to be any easy process.  All other formats gives the appearance of being simple only to lead to some point where the user appears stuck with no submission confirmation.

### 1/5 — Terrible directions

*2023-11-03, version 23.08.00*

I received an email telling me to go to my benefits tab. I can’t find that anywhere. This is an extremely terrible website.

### 1/5 — Cannot login

*2023-01-31, version 22.11.02*

I can login to the website with no problem, but the app just leaves the login button grey and unresponsive. Any sort of error would be appreciated, but it does nothing.

### 1/5 — Login Page

*2021-10-27*

Why does the login\sign-up page always pop up when you open the app? The app should be smart enough to know that you have an account once you’ve enabled face ID to login, and just take you to your homepage.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2021-10-27*

The features in this app are not at all organized and it is difficult to navigate and does not include all features from the full website including adding my bank account, so now I have to wait for reimbursement checks! Who wants to deal with checks these days?!

### 1/5 — Hard to submit a claim

*2021-09-10, version 19.0.0*

It used the be some easy to submit a claim.  Now I think I have to download forms.  I’m very confused.

### 1/5 — Can’t upload PDFs

*2021-05-24*

I’ve had to call customer service twice now to finally learn that you can’t upload the pdf of your EOB, which is needed to support your claim or your claim will be denied.  Now I have to go to the desktop website and go through the whole process again.  Defies explanation why a mandatory requirement of processing a claim wasn’t built into the app.

### 1/5 — Stay away. Scam.

*2021-02-06*

I have never interacted with a company with such a high level of incompetence, indifference toward customers needs, and yet superficial pleasantness on the phone. The superficial pleasantness will engender misplaced trust and lead you to call them again when their promises are unkept. The mixture of incompetence and indifference towards your needs though will finally lead you to realize this company is a scam. That they have built such a presence in New York City is outstanding considering they refuse to reimburse for services. Enrolling in The Difference Card is a mistake. Spending time collecting documents to send to them for reimbursements is a further mistake. The reason for the length of this review though, is the atrocious customer service, really the worst combination of incompetence, indifference, and false hope. Stay very far away.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2020-12-08, version 15.0.1*

The app is terrible. Telling me I don’t have an account when I literally used the same credentials to log in on my computer. Nothing against Difference card, just saying this app does not even let me log in.

### 1/5 — Incredibly difficult to use

*2020-05-19*

This app has given me trouble all along the way. I was unable to register even though I am positive all of my information was correct. After I was finally able to register (on a separate attempt on a separate day, using all of the same information) the process of submitting a claim is incredibly challenging.

If you have to upload a picture of a receipt or explanation of benefit (required as one of the last steps) and go outside of the app to take a picture or screenshot, you have to start the entire process of submitting a claim over again. If you try to take a picture ahead of time and then upload it into the app, the picture has to be a SQUARE! A regularly sized rectangular picture will cut off some of the necessary information. 

Additionally, nowhere on the claim information does it ask for an explanation of benefits specifically, only for a provider receipt, so I learned, after following the app’s claim process, spending 25 minutes logging in, starting the claim, taking a picture, then having to RETAKE all the pictures as squares, log in AGAIN, start the claim AGAIN and then submit the claim, which went through, that the claim was rejected a day later for not having the EOBs.

I also only learned this because it seemed as though the reimbursement was taking a long time so I logged back in and saw there was a message about my claim denial after logging in: no notification, no email.

I’m convinced this program is an attempt to keep money in the hands of the insurance companies and affiliates because who in their right mind with families and children and jobs and responsibilities has time to go through this process every time they need a reimbursement. For me, it would be $10 every time I submit a claim (my provider does not take debit cards), which adds up, but it’s also just low enough where I see how the stress might not feel worth it for some.

*2024-10-16, version 25.0.0*
