I want to say thank you so much for providing this service. I wish there were more organizations that did stuff like this also!

Tip for consumers:
They give free period products, bras, and underwear. I got along with that, some socks, a support tank, w/built in bra, socks, false eye lashes, nail polish, a sample of washing detergent, face cream, and other goodies and a plastic tote bag!

I've tried repeatedly to get an advance from them but I keep getting denied and when I reach out to them they tell it was because of linking issues with my bank. They said it's not linked with Plaid, but the Yodlee Aggregator. I have no idea what the difference is but it shows as Plaid when I link my bank. I have to use the website to link my bank cause using the app just takes me to the log in screen (in the app) for Possible Finance. I've reported this multiple times and they just tell me to reapply later. They do have a referral program but you only get $5 for referring someone that takes a loan out.

Tip for consumers:
They do have a credit card but I have no idea how to apply for that as only the loan part shows up in the app. BTW, I have Android 13.

Making the appointment and setting up my account was easy. I have an appointment on 6/29, which hasn't been confirmed yet but that's because I made the appointment at around 3 am cst. The site has a place where you can upload documents, so, I uploaded some of my medical records that I thought are relevant to this. I will update this after my appointment tomorrow.

Tip for consumers:
You will get an email confirming your appointment, a receipt, and one to finish setting up your account after paying.

So far this app seems like a good idea but if your direct deposit isn't $1000 or more then you'll not be able to use this but it says also says that each deposit must be atleast $175. So, I'm really confused on the requirement to qualify. You also need at least 3 qualifying direct deposits. Since my account is new, I only have 2. I think this app may work with those on ssi/ssdi/veterans and unemployment benefits. I'll make an update once it verifies my direct deposit schedule. Bridgit also has a referral program where you get $10 for each friend you invite.
Edit: Your total direct deposits each month must be at least $1000 to qualify for this.

I've been using this app for a bit now. I actually installed it a few years ago but decided to uninstall it because of the extremely small amount of rewards offered. You get 2 coins for each receipt, 100 points for referring some, 1 coin for every ad watched (which I will never do), 1 point for the daily log in, 100 points for verifying your email, 25 coins for the welcome bonus, and other such rewards. I was charged today in the amount of $3.99, even though Bridge says they won't charge you until they can verify your debit and last I tried, they weren't able to verify it. I added my debit card after they verified me. I'm not sure what I'm being charged for as it was not made clear and I can't find out through the faq either that is listed in the app. My cash out was for $4 and some change. Each 100 coins is $1. You can get an advance of $5 for 1200 coins.

Tip for consumers:
You will be charged $3.99 for connecting your debit card. Idk what for though.

I contacted support today cause I'm really tired of getting notifications that say I need to.resolce issues with my account, which are the app not recognizing my direct deposits. I'm not sure when they decided to work with people who are on social security but they uave since sunsetted that since last I talked them which was only a few months ago. I have had one successful referral which I cashed out to my bank on 5/30 and it said I'd get it at 5/31 around 1 am.I am unable to select my recurring direct deposits from the list of transactions from my linked bank account and the support representative won't tell me how I'm supposed to do that.

Doesn't work with ssi.

• Previous review

I've had this app for years but never have been able to actually use it cause they don't work with ssi/ssdi/ssri/veterans payments. I'm constantly getting emails saying to open the app cause there's issues but the only issue is that it's not recognizing my ssi deposits. I have no idea how to fix this. I've emailed support about it and the only thing they tell me is they currently don't work with ssi but they're working on doing so in the future. I don't think they mean the near future cause they've been saying that for years. The only reason I still have this app is cause of the referral bonus but everyone that uses my link never actually follows the steps to trigger the bonus. The person who uses my link must open a tip yourself account, which is just like a little savings spot in the app, where you can put money aside for later. Which is free to do so. AND they must qualify for a payday advance, which is why you need to connect your bank and point out which deposit is from your check, and cash out. It says the person who signs up with my link gets $5 and I get $25, which goes directly to the tip yourself spot, which is under the savings tab.

I synced my accounts on here today and it days that none of my items qualified for unlocked rewards and that my total unlocked balance is 0. When I got to the cash out tab, it says that my total unlocked rewards is almost $9. I am still waiting to be credited for the 4 people that used my link to sign up a couple of weeks ago. I finally got a reply from customer service and they said that my account is under review because there is a lot of returns. Most of my returns are because a lot of stuff was never actually delivered to me or it was damaged in transit and was returned by the courier. They said I'd get my rewards after not having any returns for a while but if I don't get an shipment, I'm definitely getting a refund aka return. I'm not sure why I'm being punished for not actually getting stuff I ordered.
Edit, I'm uploading a video of what's showing for my account on here.

Tip for consumers:
Apparently you're not supposed to get refunded for not receiving stuff you ordered.

Difference in payout amount
5/5/23
• Previous review

When I cashout, the app said it'd send me $7.50 but I actually got a little over $8. I'm not sure what the problem is but I've cleared my cache and the data for this app. I guess next time I cache out, I'll have to keep clearing the cache and data again to actually see the correct amount.

Cashing Out
5/4/23
• Previous review

Cashing out is easy but they charge for PayPal. I was able to cash out today, 5/3/23, for $7.50. That's after they took $1.50 to send let me cash out my $9 that I've accumulated but my locked rewards have not update. It still doesn't matter how many times I sync my accounts each. I can't get the locked ones to unlock and some of them say I need to activate the retailers account that I'm using. I'm not sure what that means either as all my online retailer accounts are pretty old and have lots of purchases on them over the years. It just says to sync the account to activate the retailer but I've been doing that. The ones that say waiting on retailer confirmation mean they're waiting on them to be delivered. Which has already happened.

Tip for consumers:
I think they mean the retailer activation has something to do with the amount of purchases in your account. I have no idea how many that is but I wish there was an faq that explained that.

Not updating.
5/2/23
• Previous review

It is now 5/2 and I can't get some of these to update to where it says confirmed or available for withdrawal. The survey rewards aren't unlocked until you actually buy something from that brand and they limit you to 3 surveys a day. Cashout minimum is $10. My pending is now $2.26, locked is $49.29, total available for cashout is $9, and total earned is $60.55. But I haven't yet reached the minimum to actually cash out yet.

Rewards still locked.
5/1/23
• Previous review

I just synced my accounts and it had me relink my target account and then told me I have no new rewards. But my rewards balance has gone up to $9 for the cash out and a total of $54.16, with 77 cents pending, and $44.39 locked. I still have not gotten a reply for cs yet.

Rewards
4/29/23
• Previous review

I've connected my Target, Amazon, and Walmart account and so far, I've only gotten a total of $4.38 cash back. I've got $0.77 in pending cashback and $34.61 in locked rewards. It says I can do surveys for extra cash but that reward is locked until I buy something for that brand. I never got the sign up bonus, which is $20 and I've synced my accounts multiple times cause some of the rewards are locked until the retailer confirms it. Idk how to get them to confirm I got it. I've sent customer service several emails about that and haven't gotten a response yet.

I just checked the online offers and there is only 2 places that I shop at that I would use this with. None of the in store offers are anywhere that I would shop at. I currently have 6 pending referrals and I'm not even sure if the people who signed up will actually be able to complete the steps with the excruciatingly little amount of retailers that they actually go through. They do have a map feature to show you what is close to you but like I said earlier, I don't shop at those places.

Tip for consumers:
They state that the offers and retailers they offer rewards for vary and are updated often but nothing has changed for me since writing my original review.

Not easy to use (for me)

• Previous review

This app is funky. I had to email cs because it said that my cash back for Lyft wasn't eligible but they gave me the credit because for some reason they couldn't verify the transaction with my card. I had to send screenshots in of my card transactions for Lyft being settled. I have the majority of my cards (mainly prepaid) connected in my account. I have a total of $1.79 in cashback accumulated and 5 pending referrals. This app isn't picking up any of my other transactions and doesn't show a list of my transactions. It would be nice if it did, then I could select it for review to get cashback credited. In the nearby section of the app, it only shows 5 places that I can use this at locally (that's an update from the original 2). So, they're adding places all the time but I'm not sure why I'm not getting credit for my online purchases.

Tip for consumers:
If the app states one or more transactions isn't eligible go to your bank or card and take a screenshot of the ones showing as ineligible in the app and email them to customer service. They will credit you if the transaction has settled (not pending).

I cashed out to Amazon today, for $10. The code showed up in my email almost immediately. 1k points=$10. (There is no PayPal or add to mana card option.)

Nice little app.

This is technically a debit card that rewards gamers. They do have a rewards program and you can get 1000 points for inviting someone. Both get it. So far, only one person has accepted my invite. I currently have a balance of 1216 mana points. There are 2 different cards you can choose from, the plastic or the metal. The plastic card is free and if I remember correctly, the metal debit card is the one for the upgrade, which is $120 a year. There is a screen that you can access you by pushing the square at the top right of the home screen where you put codes in. If you upgrade to pro, it gives you a $25 Xbox gift card, a $25 Playstation gift, a sub to discord, and a lot more perks.

Tip for consumers:
You can connect these games:
Clash of Clans
Apex Legends
Splitgate
CS:GO
League of Legends
Valorant
Brawl Stars
Clash Royale
The Division 2
Halo Infinite
Fortnite

I've had this card for years. I love how it even shows declined transactions and they have a referral program too. For mine, it is $5 for them and $10 for me. All you gotta do to get the bonus is successfully register, connect a bank and debit card and make a contactless payment at somewhere like McDonalds or send someone $5. So, spend $5, get $5. I have 7 expired invite bonuses cause all the steps weren't followed. Some as high as $15. My referral code in below if anyone feels so inclinced.

Tip for consumers:
You can order different colored cards now or even get a premium metal card, which is not free. You can also put emojis or even write on the card when you're ordering it. The chip in the card even has a dollar sign on it.

I've had this app for a month or so now. I finally got some of the rewards for some of my purchases. As far as I'm aware, you just activate weekly offers with the click of ONE button. That's it. Rewards take a bit to show but this is one of the better apps that I've seen that give you points. My ref bonus for the person I referred is still pending because they still have to verify their phone and activate their offers. You can cashout to bitcoin or etherium, starting at 5K ($5) points, Amazon starts at 50K points ($50). There are a lot of other giftcards to choose from also. I haven't gotten my referral bonus for the persons link who I used yet. So all in all, this app is very easy to use. I have a total of 1920 points with 10K pending. They will send an email telling you about the monthly bonus points also.

Tip for consumers:
If you were referred by someone, make sure to verify your phone, they'll send a text, link your banks/cards, and activate the offers every week. You'll also get monthly points too.

I thought this was a points for receipts type thing. I just got an email that basically says to get cashback you have to use them as a cashback site. Like you would with Rakuten. I'm not sure why they had me connect my cards and stuff then. They don't have an app or a referral program either.

I got a new device and when it has me select my address it now says nothing can be delivered to me where as before it was saying it could. Not only that but I can't even select the 7-Eleven. The app does nothing. I've force stopped it and cleared the data and cache but it still will not let me get passed the select a store for pick up part.

I buy a lot of stuff at once cause I don't have regular transportation or I use delivery services like Doordash or Instacart. You can't use either of those with this app. To be able to get cash back, you not only need to scan the paper receipt but also scan the bar code for each item you are redeeming. It's way too much work. It'd be a lot better if they had a way to somehow connect online retailer accounts so that way they could verify the items instead of me scanning a ton of different things. I doubt I'll be using this app. The extra hour or so it would take me to scan everything I buy every time I would like to use this is ridiculous.

I got a new device and new phone number and the app won't let me update it. So, I logged into the website and that is not even there. I sent cs a message and saying I need to change my number and after I clicked send it said they'll get back to me in 30 days.
Edit 5/3/23:
They responded to my email and want me to verify my identity with my ID. So I submitted that and am waiting on them to look at it. I can still log into the app and website but I can't scan my accounts or anything else until I'm able to receive a text message from them.

When I log out, my profile shows up as missing and says I'm not active. I've been making reviews for years. So, I have no idea what's going on. I've emailed support several times a day and today I emailed the help desk to try and resolve this. It seems like I have to email them every day, several times a day because I keep getting the "profile not found" message. If my profile isn't found, why can I still make reviews and log in?

Tip for consumers:
I've emailed *******@sitejabber.com several times and have not gotten a reply once. On 5/2/23, I emailed *******@sitejabber.com and got an auto reply that said they would respond in 3-5 business days. I called SiteJabber's phone number but it said that the google voice subscriber is not available and to leave a message. According to the chrome extension the phone number is *******806.

Hi Miriam, we're sorry for any frustration this situation has caused. We've looked into your profile and have corresponded with you via our helpdesk. As mentioned in these emails, our system has been automatically flagging your reviews and account as spam due to the use of referral codes. Instead of putting these codes in the text of your review, we advise you try including them in a photo or video instead. Hope this helps – please let us know if there's anything else we can help with.

This is one of the better paying cashback sites as it actually does amazon and the cashback for that is up to 8 percent. They do have a referral program and the referral bonus for successful sign up is 35 dollars. You can check on the status of your referrals and "nudge them" aka remind them. Apparently a total of 21 people have clicked my link but only 2 have signed up and we're just waiting for them to finish making a purchase to get cashback. Even if your friend/family member/someone you know doesn't wanna make an account you can still get cash back for their purchase by giving them a special link for whatever merchant they're using and the cashback will go to your account.
Edit 5/3/23:
My response:
You could make it where we can connect our online retailers instead of making links. The links for family/friends is a really nice touch though.

Tip for consumers:
Free to join. Get a payout bonus when you get your Cash Back as a Visa Prepaid card, Amazon.com Gift Card or American Express® Rewards Card. Free payouts through ACH and PayPal. Be paid whenever you choose. No minimum payout amount. Stack the savings with Cash Back and vouchers Over 7,000 Online Stores Fair-play policy. Invite your friends and earn $10 for each. (it says 35 dollars on my refer page.)

Hi Miriam,

Thank you so much for your feedback, so glad you are enjoying using TopCashback! What can we do better to potentially change this 3 star review into a 5 star?

  • Receiptjar

5/2/23

I first cashed out in Nov 2021, according to my redemption history. I've cashed out a total of 9 times since then for $5 each to PayPal. You can connect Walmart, Amazon, Instacart, Costco, and Kroger. You can also connect your email for other e receipts. Receipt Jar does have a referral program and the rewards is 200 points for both. You can use my code MIRICSG31 to get 200 points as a sign up bonus. You can also upload paper receipts. They have a mini game where you earn shakes and literally shake your phone to get bonus points and there's also the points jar, the amount it's worth depends on your level. Cashouts start at $5 (1000 ponts), which is really easy to do.

I ported in originally from Angelina County back in April 2022. I originally had a different caseworker and when I'd email or call she would respond. I didn't know my caseworker had changed until about Aug 2022 and have been trying to contact her since. I have sent dozens of emails and left about the same amount of voicemails. I've also left a voicemail for HR and spoke to the receptionist a few times. The last time I spoke to the receptionist, my caseworker called me but I was in the bathroom and I called her right back and it went to voicemail. I have called once a week for over a month since then and she never calls me back. I'm going to assume I have to contact HUD themselves in DC to get my caseworker to respond. The portal says my annual recertification was due by 4/15 and that I needed to send missing info in by 3/22/2023 and I did and it's still pending as of 5/1/2023.

I just got an email about the updated referral bonus. It basically says for me to remind them but I have no idea on how to do that cause there is no send a reminder or anything. People used my link but don't actually follow through. There's double cash back until 5/14.

I've been using them for years. In the last several years I've been shopping on Amazon and they don't offer cashback, any more, for Amazon. I've earned a total of $122 and change from them in cash back and referrals. Their next Big Fat Check is scheduled for Aug 15th

Tip for consumers:
I had to email them to get my last referral bonus sent to me after they send my cashback cause it disappeared from my earnings.

Products used:
Walmart mostly.
