It’s okay

Wasn’t expecting payout to be in cents and also it doesn’t notify you when it’s time to wake up I’ve missed two paywakes because of that I just deleted my account. Also before I deleted my account I tried transferring what cents I had left and for some reason it had my old phone number connected to my card and that’s not the phone number I used to make the account.

FAQ

What does Paywake do?

Paywake is an app designed to help you wake up on time by offering financial incentives. You can earn cash by successfully waking up at your scheduled time. The app uses a system where you deposit money, and if you meet your wake-up goal, you get your deposit back plus earnings. If you fail to wake up on time, you forfeit your deposit.

How do I earn money with Paywake?

To earn money, you set a wake-up time and choose an amount of money to deposit. If you wake up on time and complete the photo verification, you will receive your deposited amount back along with additional earnings. The more you deposit, the more you can potentially earn.

Is Paywake free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use. However, it operates on a model where you deposit money to participate in wake-up challenges. You can earn money by successfully waking up on time, and the app facilitates these transactions. There are also optional instant transfer fees for faster cash-outs.

How do I get my earnings?

You can cash out your Paywake earnings by transferring them to your linked debit card or Venmo account. Standard transfers to a debit card typically take 1-3 business days. For a small fee, you can opt for an instant transfer to your debit card or Venmo.

What is photo verification?

Photo verification is a feature used to confirm that you are actually awake and out of bed. When your alarm goes off, you will be prompted to take a quick photo of a household object. This helps ensure accountability and that you are genuinely meeting your wake-up commitment.
