Do not use this app

First of all, my intuition told me not to use this app. The first red flag was that you’re required to use a certain amount of the money they offer you as an advance to purchase something through their marketplace before you can access the remaining amount—which, by the way, is not even the full amount you have left.

Then, after using the app for two months, the marketplace suddenly became unavailable. I reached out to customer support and included a screenshot showing what was happening. Someone responded promptly and asked me to send a screen recording. I sent it, and now it’s been two days with no response or resolution.

At this point, I would not recommend this app to anyone. Based on my experience, it feels extremely misleading and untrustworthy. Be careful before using it.

Bug Report

Caitlyn was very helpful with in app support when I had issues!!

Not worth it

If I could give a zero star, I would there are too many stipulations and you have to use 60% of your advance on the app so if it says you’re gonna get $50 you have to spend $31 on that and then you can get $19 advanced to your bank. I would not recommend this to anybody.

It offers a Buy Now, Pay Later feature and allows for free cash advance transfers to your bank account under certain conditions. The app aims to provide financial flexibility without credit checks, interest, or hidden fees.

How do I get a cash advance?

To get a cash advance, you typically need to validate your employment. You can then access advances from $40 to $200. A portion of this advance must be used on the e-store or for a mobile plan, after which the remaining balance can be transferred to your bank account.

Are there any fees or interest charges?

What are Store Rewards and Play To Earn?

Store Rewards allow you to earn a percentage back on your purchases as rewards to spend on Gerald's e-store, provided you pay your advance on time. Play To Earn lets you play games, collect points, and redeem them for these rewards to fund future purchases.

Is Gerald a loan app?

Gerald explicitly states that it does not offer loans. It is not a payday loan, cash loan, or personal loan app. Instead, it allows you to access money you've already earned, providing a financial advance service.
