Not Another Bad Review! ,

Not very user friendly

Pros: I get about 10-20 cents back when I use it. When I have asked for a receipt review, I have generally gotten my items credited. Cons: it takes so long to do due to the app being horrible. After scrolling down, it will re-start from the beginning leaving the user to go through the complete list again. It doesn’t recognize half of the things you have refunds for, and if you accidentally hit a button, you have to go through the whole process again. It is a drain on time.

Sounds like a good idea, but it’s a horrible program and worse app

I switched to the app thinking the website was just the issue. Turns out the app is just as bad as the website, maybe worse. This program is horrible. I’m planning to try and get the minimum transfer amount, then I will close my account. There is no search function on the app or website so you have to scroll for pages to find items. The app resets and scrolls back to the top of a page when you are scrolling, causing you to start all over. The e-receipt function doesn’t accept any of my receipts (goodbye any rewards for pick up orders). The in store receipt function won’t allow any PDFs from files, I have to use the photo option. It’s clunky and just takes way too long to either be rejected or earn a few cents.

Save yourself time and just skip this company completely. There are good receipt reward programs worth the hassle, this is not one of them.

It was looking up….

I got back on this app after an looonngg hiatus. So long in fact that I wasn’t even aware they did surveys. Anyway that was about 4-5 months ago and I was trucking along and making very good progress & was very, very impressed. In the past week that has come to a screeching halt…..all of a sudden, no surveys available, can’t make my daily bonus because there are no viable ‘offers’ to meet that requirement. WHAT IS GOING ON UPROMISE!?!?! I was going to highly recommend this to some fellow surveyors, but not any longer.
