Description

I earned $393.00 through this reward app, but their KYC process via Plaid is nearly impossible to complete. I’ve been unable to pass the identity verification—possibly due to facial hair, though they won’t provide any reason. You’re only given three attempts, and if all fail, you’re completely locked out with no support or follow-up. It’s clear they’re counting on users being unable to cash out. If they truly intended to pay, they would allow identity verification before you invest your time or offer a way to manually review the documents. Instead, there’s no human intervention and no alternative payout method. Other apps only need your PayPal email to pay you—this one hides behind Plaid's KYC process as a loophole to avoid paying users. They promise rewards for hitting milestones but seem to have no intention of honoring those payments. Meanwhile, they continue benefiting from your time and engagement. As a senior on a fixed income, it’s incredibly disheartening to be taken advantage of like this. My time is valuable, and I feel like I’ve been scammed into providing free labor. I strongly urge others to avoid this app.
