EXAMPLE SCENARIO

If you are approved for a $100 advance, you’ll be required to use a specific portion of that advance on our e-store (i.e. Cornerstore) or on a mobile plan (i.e. Cranberry Mobile). Once this threshold has been met, you can then transfer the remaining balance of the advance to your bank account with no fees attached. For example, if you’re provided with a $100 advance, you may need to allocate at least $50 of this advance towards purchases on Cornerstore or towards a mobile plan through Cranberry Mobile. After meeting this requirement, the remaining $50 can be transferred to your bank account hassle-free and with no fees. In this case, your repayment amount will be $100.

(**) Not all users will qualify. Subject to approval policies.

Terrible. They have a store called Cornerstone where they push you to spend money. My order was only partially filled, and all I have been receiving is excuses. They keep saying the items were shipped later and they will give me a tracking number when they get one. However, it's been weeks, and I still haven't received the tracking or items that I paid for. I WANT A REFUND.

I see that you did take a look at it, and credited me back some of the fees i paid, and i appreciate that, so now im getting emails saying ive been granted an advance, that i just need to spend 1/2 of the amount granted at the store, then i can instantly get my advance! So i have used those credits and spent the required amount, 3 times already, and i still cant get an advance!

I've had the app for three months now and it's been clutch when I've needed an advance (the instant transfer never worked, so I had to wait a few days). The subscription fee was fair enough for it's conveinence. Today, however, I tried for an advance and it is suddenly demanding that I use their "buy now, pay later" to "unlock" an advance. They changed their policy with no obvious advance warning AFTER they've already taken my subscription fee for the month of May w/ no refund. Dont do it.

Hello, as we have permanently removed our subscription fees, customers are now required to use a portion of their advance to our stores. I'd also like to inform you that all your previously paid subscription fees will be refunded back to your Gerald Wallet account in the form of store credits! Please contact us at androidsupport@joingerald.com.
