Ratings and reviews

This app is pretty awful. It luls you in with a false sense of reward but releases very few gift cards that are impossible to get because of programmed redeem bots. Also the redeemable "offers" are not worth it, you can find better discounts elsewhere without having to expose your data. UPDATE: Changed rating because I managed to redeem a few Greggs savory snack gift cards when available. Still difficult to obtain and these are no longer available too. Will continue to update on results.

I didnt stay long, and here's why: when they say paid, they mean in a denomination that looks like an infinity sign. If you want to get the most, they require total control of your entire phone, including everything in it. My launcher didn't even demand such invasive permissions. The rewards aren't the 'earn x, then cash out to prize y'. A relatively small lot of cards becomes available on a schedule to first come first serve. Additionally, many are 3 to 5 dollar cards, and none are actual cash.

Pretty easy to setup, although don't bother trying to connect your Microsoft account for e-mail receipts. It kept telling me that I didn't allow the permissions, even though I did, and won't connect. HOWEVER, when I go to my Microsoft account settings > Privacy > App Access, guess which app it showed had permissions? Yep, this one. Not any more! We'll see how it goes when I try to redeem points for a gift card...
