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.

Works as advertised, kinda. They give you an advance amount and roughly 2/3 of it needs to be spent in their in app shop before the rest is available as a cash advance. Problem is, some of the stuff won't show up. I've used them twice and over a month, of the 6 things I ordered, 2 have arrived. Those came directly from Amazon and I'm sure I paid a markup. I'm working to get a refund for the rest since I already paid back the advance. I wouldn't recommend it unless you need cash desperately.

Do not use this POS app! doesn't deserve a star!! The app is just a rip-off! It gives advances, but you have to use most of it to purchase something, and the item never gets delivered! It constantly sends emails about playing games that qualify you for an advance! BS!! I got about 20 points from the game. I downloaded games as instructed and have been playing every day. I surpassed the level required and have not seen any more points added for qualification for an advance!

I am changing my review as I did receive the product finally. I still do not recommend this app. If you need to borrow $25 bucks then you probably cannot afford to spend $40 or more on overpriced items that take forever to arrive just so you can access the $25.you.are approved to borrow. plenty of other apps with cheap fees that will cost you way less.
