## What is Pay with Rewards?

Mastercard Pay with Rewards is only available on certain Mastercard cards. Please check with your issuer of your card for availability.
 
Pay with Rewards allows you to spend your points like cash at millions of participating locations worldwide. This app allows you to connect a Mastercard card and configure when and where your points will be redeemed. When using your card, your payment is processed as normal. If you choose to redeem points you will receive a statement credit to your card.
 
Getting Started
* Connecting your card to the Pay with Rewards app is simple: enter your Pay with Rewards-enabled Mastercard card number and establish a four digit app PIN. The PIN will be used by the app to protect your personal settings and information.
* Answer the security questions. Your questions are based on information your financial institution has on file. Select any one question from the list. If you have questions or are not able to proceed, please contact the issuer of your card.
* The home screen will show your points balance, the cash equivalent of your points balance, and your current Pay with Rewards setting. Turn Pay with Rewards on for subsequent purchases, or leave it off and choose from recent purchases eligible for redemption under Activity.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-03-01, version 8.0.3*

After the update last month, it just keeps trying to redeem points after every transaction. I have checked the settings but it still does this. Please look at resolving this asap.

### 1/5 — A heaping pile of garbage on wheels

*2026-02-28*

You know how you can a feeling of confidence when using a well designed fintech app that provides visual and UI clues about what is happening and what you might do if things go wrong? This app has none of those things. Maybe that’s fine if you can use it for its intended purpose but that’s the problem. I get an error when I enter my credit card number. And then that’s the end of the journey. I have called my bank to try to get it resolved but that didn’t work out. So now I need to find Mastercard’s phone number to try and resolve the issue. This is not how a simple reward app should work in 2026.

### 1/5 — Logs me out all the time

*2026-02-24, version 8.0.3*

Why does this log me out all the time? I input my data and few weeks later the app just logs me out and I have to input everything manually again. Been like this for years. Pathetic.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-02-10, version 8.0.3*

Tried downloading it twice and  it couldn’t recognize my card even though it works on the web version. It also doesn’t seem to track spending accurately if at all. After having the card for almost 3 years and using everyday, there’s only 5000 points on there

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-01-31, version 8.0.3*

This app doesn’t work.Its waste of download.I tried so so many times & after adding all details it says something is wrong try again .please fix this app or delete it’s not working

### 1/5 — Poor functionality

*2026-01-04, version 8.0.2*

The app keeps logging me out then asks for card number every single time. Now, I can’t even log in because when it’s at the OTP screen it gives error “Something went wrong. Phone number incorrect…”. My phone number is correctly setup in the bank’s app and works for my bank’s OTPs.

### 1/5 — ‘Oops, something’s wrong, try again’

*2025-12-18, version 8.0.2*

Really bad - hardly ever works and could be much simpler to follow / use if it worked. Makes me want a different card

### 3/5 — Getting better???

*2025-11-30, version 8.0.2*

So after almost 12 months of not tracking I have suddenly discovered to have £42 worth of points. Redeemed immediately and it actually worked!!! Hopefully things are only going to get better.

### 1/5 — Very unstable, can’t even load landing page

*2025-11-16, version 8.0.2*

If you ever try to go and check your bonuses most probably the app won’t even load

### 1/5 — Poor rewards

*2025-11-02, version 8.0.2*

Not all purchases generate a reward. Those that do are a very low rate compared to other banks
