### 5/5 — Service

*2022-11-07, version 2.0.38*

Lisa Berger has made it easy to learn the process of transactions with the PF card. She is very nice and represents your company well. She deserves recognition.  I’m sure you already know this.  Have a good work week. Jeff

Thanks for making it easy to get gift cards!

### 1/5 — Can’t verify my identity

*2020-01-09, version 2.0.26*

It’s requested all kinds of information about me and then says no sorry.  I think it just phished my information.  Apple shouldn’t let phishing scams in their App Store.

### 5/5 — Natalie BCBSAZ

Best Cash back program I have in my electronic wallet.. It’s really a effortless way to earn money with retailers my family uses everyday.  Program allows me to save money for my Prescriptions and copays in conjunction with my health insurance ... I love love this app.

### 5/5 — Fun Family Experience

*2019-06-15, version 2.0.16*

Very thankful for payforward! We were with family and had a long extended wait for an activity that we were wanting to do. We were in a location that we were unfamiliar with and was looking for a great lunch spot. We checked our payforward app to see what was around available around us and it led us to a great nearby restaurant. We had the best time and were able to even get cash back on our experience. Such an amazing experience using this app, I highly recommend this to everyone!

### 1/5 — App Doesn't Work

*2019-03-01, version 2.0.10*

I have an account with funds deposited by my employer for a wellness program. I transferred a portion of the funds making a purchase at Best Buy. But now the app doesn't work. I can't see my account or remaining balance. I am getting a message saying the app needs to be updated. But there is no update. Says this item is no longer available. Is this company still in business? Did it steal your money?

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2019-01-26, version 2.0.6*

I got this app to fundraise for groups at high school. The money never transferred and when I updated the app my entire account disappeared. Other parents had the same problem, none of them were resolved that I know of
