Won’t let me spend from Gusto Debit Card on gas

Extremely irritating. Initially I was able to use the card to fill up on gas, but ever since some recent update, every time I try to pump gas, it’ll only use up $1, but the authorization recognizes the full amount. So for example, if you wanted to spend $40 to pump gas, the card will authorize $40, but it’ll only pump $1 - what happens to the other $39? Welp, you just have to wait 2-3 business days for Gusto to recognize you didn’t spend the rest of that, but essentially you have no money from your Gusto Debit Card to work with for a few days. I don’t know what idiotic dev decided to have it work like this. And to be clear, this has happened 3 times now at 3 different gas stations (Speedway Express, Arco, Platinum Gas) so you can’t even tell me it’s because of those gas stations. Ironically, it’ll work fine if I just use it for DoorDash, which I rarely ever use in the first place. Long-story short, the Gusto Debit Card is absolutely useless and now just dead weight. Literally 0 reason to put any of your paycheck on it.

Advances and save options really help!!

Using the app is easy but also choosing to be paid directly from gusto from your employer has great benefits that I was able to enjoy after my first pay period.

Love

Gusto makes it’s so easy! I love the option for an advance before payday! It really helps!

They changed the pig

This would be a 5 star app, because it works as promised and I’ve used it for 2 jobs. Unfortunately, the recent update changed the pig that welcomes you when the app is opening, and he no longer has a hat.

New update has glitched how you clock in through the app

I don’t know why you companies keep trying to push out useless updates that break the app entirely. Oh cool, the pig is animated now but unfortunately I cannot clock into work so what’s the point. Fix your app
