Ratings and reviews

This app is a lot of work for little incentive. I couldn't sign up with my email and password, I kept getting a system error message. So, I signed up with Facebook and it let me. To redeem anything, you have to scan every single item you buy and then scan your receipt. That's not going to work for me. I buy way too much at once to be scanning every item every time I go shopping. This app is a waste of time. I wish there was a way to just scan my online accounts.

I want to like this app since the money back is for better for you products. However, they say it takes 30 days to receive payouts. In my experience, that is not even accurate as I have had to email every time after the 30 days just to receive my payout. It is also not super intuitive, however I have figured it out as you have to go into each item and redeem your points to earn more real money. I have earned money faster lately although I have been waiting for a cash out for almost 2 months now.

The app is alright, but the offers could be better. Most offers are for such a small amount that you won't be able to build up enough to get to the minimum cash out (it's been years for me). I also wish there was a way to hide offers that you're not interested in/aren't sold in your area so that you don't have to scroll through every offer. Lately, it takes FOREVER to get into the main portion. You're stuck staring at the logo for like 30+ min. before the app MIGHT decide to let you in!
