This is such a waste of time just to sign up. There are a lot of gas offers but the restaurants are exactly the same as the restaurants in T-Mobile Dining Rewards. There are only 6 total restaurants to choose from. There are no grocery stores available in my area too. Check the offers before you bother adding payment methods. It's a total waste at least for my area.

New review, with commentary this time! I liked this app.. now, it's starting to piss me off more often than not. Qualifying purchases seem to process without issue lately (previously expired or dismissed often in app Activity log). Inaccurate prices are practically CONSTANT now, why should I keep using YOUR app when I have to cross reference GasBuddy, Google Maps, or someone else to verify YOU have the right price and deal on a given gas station? What happened to the 'last updated' pricing?

It's pretty much a way for stores to get a bit of extra sales. you go out of your way to drive to the locations with the "offers" yet I'm 50/50 currently on them honering the receipts. One was an issue where my card wouldn't work at the pump so I had to go in and pay first. The other I still haven't heard back on, but I'm sure it is going to be declined because it has taken way too long. Not worth the effort unfortunately.

The last two updates have made this app almost unusable. What's the point of having a primary payment method if I have to switch to that method every time, because it isn't the method that comes up as the first option. (That was two updates ago). The most recent update has made it so that I can't even use my linked payment method, instead, I have to upload a receipt every time. (At least I can upload receipts again though). I'll still use the app, because I still get free money.

I love the app. I've been using it for over a year and just recently started noticing that I have a TON of offers I claimed and they say expired. That is extremely frustrating considering I go the extra mile to use the app and I'm not receiving cash back every time. Also, if there is a deal for gas and we get to the gas station and it's cheaper than the app, we should be able to update that price and still get the same percentage off. Just my opinion.

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.
