Helpful-but

So far the app has saved me significant money by negotiating my internet bill. However, the app itself is still somewhat clunky and the AI is still having some issues depending on what you’re using it for. For instance it keeps telling me to use my Freedom card for 5% cash back on “entertainment” but the current promo on that card is 5% back on “select live entertainment.” So you have to pay pretty close attention to make sure you’re actually getting what it suggests. Also, the interfacing/getting the cards connected was a bit clunky as well. It is frustrating that the way it gives you the additional “boost” rewards is by using the safari extension to autofill card info during checkout, which to me makes it unclear if it would apply these bonuses if you use the recommended card to check out through an app or already saved to a website. Otherwise it is doing a decent job.

Hey, thanks so much for the detailed feedback, and glad to hear the bill negotiation feature has already paid off for you! On the Freedom card recommendation: you're right to flag that "entertainment" and "select live entertainment" are different things, and if our suggestion isn't reflecting the current quarterly category correctly, that's worth digging into. On Boost: good news, you don't need to use the specific card we recommend to still earn it. What matters is activating Kudos Boost before checkout, since that's how we get credited for driving the sale in the first place. If you have other rewards programs installed, make sure to click Kudos last, since clicking multiple programs can sometimes bump our credit for the purchase. We then pass along 100% of whatever commission we receive to you as cashback. The one real limitation is individual store apps. If you check out through a retailer's own app instead of a browser with the extension active, there's no way for us to track that the purchase came from Kudos, so there's nothing for us to pass along. That's more about how the purchase gets tracked than about which card you use. Really appreciate you taking the time to write all this out. If you're open to it, send us the specific card/category mismatch you saw at support@joinkudos.com, and we'll make sure it gets resolved.

Good idea, but terrible execution

First let me say, I thought this was a great idea, and if they hadn’t scammed me out of $130 I would have rated it a 3. You have to give them access to a lot of your personal data and connect a lot of external apps to your internet browser and bank accounts. They are collecting a lot of data on you. That is personally why I chose not to keep the app, I don’t like giving companies my information for free.

On top of that they didn’t bill me for a 1 year subscription they billed me for a lifetime subscription and both Apple and the App developers refuse to refund the mistake because the purchase of the lifetime subscription is non refundable under their terms. If I had purchased it sure, but I didn’t purchase it you incorrectly billed me for it, so they stole $130 from me and refuse to do anything to make it right. Their resolution to the problem was offering to give me tips on how to use their app better even after I told them why I didn’t want their app.

Kudos wallet worth

Great app

Just missing American Express Centurion

Great app

I’ve had a while now and it’s legit! As a college student getting rewards and cash back is really helpful! Great app so far!🤩

Great app

This all is so cool. It allows you to see what card to use when (you can even look up the place specifically and it’ll tell you what to use), how many points or cash back you got for each (and if you Used the best possible card), AND it also tracks your spending for you. It’s like 3 apps I was using separately; but all in one.

It works

I have been using Kudos and it has helped me find the best cash back option for different categories of spending all in one place.
Only change I would ask for is better UI on the home page to do quick searches for coupons/discounts available with cards and even better if location based feature automatically pop up discount or right card to use based on location.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words and for being part of the Kudos community! Love the idea of quicker coupon/discount search and a location-based feature to auto-surface the best card or discount nearby. We're actually already looking into doing this, so we're on the same wavelength as you. Stay tuned and let us know if there are other ways we can make Kudos even better. Appreciate you taking the time to share this.

Got my cash back!

So helpful!

I’ve had these cards forever and probably just wasted so much money letting things expire and not using my perks wisely. This app has helped a TON!

So far so good

Paid review written to earn points in app

Good app

It’s a good app help you save money and also will auto fill your information on sites. It is not one of the apps that you can make most money, but you definitely can save money on it and that’s always nice.

Cool

Good stuff

The best!

Kudos is the best!

2.5 years and still using…

Kudos is a great app for getting a little cash back on purchases you’re already spending money on.

Amazing App for Card Benefits!

Love this app! Has helped me organize all my cards so I can get maximum benefits

Paywall blocks functional features

Stupid expensive to get the featured advertised on pop up ads

Kudos

Great app

Enjoying the boost!

Very rewarding! I love how the rewards keep coming in and how it’s different from other apps that are so-called reward apps When every boost actually feels like actual prizes I’m claiming, keep up the good work kudos
