- Payouts are processed relatively fast.
Pros
- Lots of ways to earn, with many of them being very simple + there are savings opportunities as well.
- Good selection of payout options.
- Run by a reputable company with lots of history behind it.
Cons
- Only available in the United States.
- Maximizing earning potential means sharing sensitive information (cards, bank accounts, transaction history, email receipts, etc.)
- Transactions are only worth a few points, even when retailer accounts are linked.
Cons
- Won't make you rich. Top earners can expect maybe $50-$200/month.
