love this app! a great way to earn some extra bucks, legit
Just deposited in my bank $85 from cash back just from gas. It doesn't seem like much at first but every penny adds up fast. I'll take what I can get especially at these gas prices. The cash back will give me a little over a full tank of gas!
easy to use, awesome way to get money back on a variety of every day stuff.
Theis app sends me to CLOSED gas stations !! what a joke!!!
app is constantly wrong about gas prices. i drive past cheaper ones just to find out too late. very annoying. response: yes, I realize that but the point is that when the display says gas prices are starting 40 cents cheaper than they actually are, then it's a problem. even when i "corrected" it, the app didn't update.
great app
Bait and switch. Cash back is 99% $0.01/gallon. No longer worth the effort. They make way more selling your data to be this cheap. Do not use. *Edit* Per their reply to my review, as I suspected, bait and switch. They confirmed personalized per user, so they'll switch it up on you, while the new users will get the attractive offers til they refer the next sucker. Data mining pyramid scheme sums this app up.
Do not join ! Started off great years ago but every other time I use it, says "can't find transaction" . News now that we can no longer cash out to PayPal soon!! Asking to enter bank account info .....why ....so when your app gets hacked, they have direct banking info. NOPE !! Use Sams or Costco and you will come out better savings.
horrible. it is really worth it for the wealthy, but not for the poor or middle-class. you can't just withdraw any amount, and you have to have a specific card to put cash on. Even if you have a legit federal bank. if it's not on the list, you cant get it transferred over. i should open a upside, cash app version.
