Luv the cash back

I have been using the app for over a year. The funds I get are mostly used to treat myself to purchases I don’t make trying to watch my spending! So yeah, coffee and fast food.

Very easy to use upside!!!!!!

Very user friendly! It's a no brainer!

Don’t be fooled

I downloaded this app in June of 2021 and use it every time I go to put gas. I have only earned about $34. And that was getting 25 cents with my first two fills. It is not like it says in the commercials. If I could insert a screenshot I would. I can only guess that maybe you get more if you use it when you make purchases inside but then are you really getting money back if you double for a soda or bag of chips. I don’t think so.

Terminated account

Be careful with upside they don’t pay out big amounts and will call fraud on you and terminate your account. They won’t let you provide proof of purchases. They dont respond back to your emails.

Lovely

Great way to easy make basically free money back when spending money you have to spend anyway
