Lately it seems getting cash back is a hassle. You have to wait and then end up sending in receipts just to get it but then it doesn't go towards your monthly limit for next months bonus. I even submitted a receipt this time and it's under review. Like how?? Been using the same card since I joined and now it's a problem as of this month to redeem anything with reaching out every single time for my cashback. In response to your comment...I have and doesn't solve the issue

This is such a waste of time just to sign up. There are a lot of gas offers but the restaurants are exactly the same as the restaurants in T-Mobile Dining Rewards. There are only 6 total restaurants to choose from. There are no grocery stores available in my area too. Check the offers before you bother adding payment methods. It's a total waste at least for my area.

Recommended to family and love the app and how fast the money adds up. The only problem I have it when uploading a receipt it goes through the progress circle and says 100% uploaded, but then immediately says "Something went wrong We were unable to process your request. Please try again.", if I hit try again it immediately pops up the same error message.
