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

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.

I wish the CB didn't change on a dime and vary so much, but overall, I'm a huge fan. It initially felt a bit invasive having to log my card #s and account info, but the turnover time is so quick, it's pretty much forgiven. And the continual stream from referrals is nice. I just wish there were more options and places included, like my preferred gas station.
