I downloaded the app after hearing their frequent ads on one of my local radio stations (which, in a way, should have been a red flag), and figured I would give it a try. I accepted an offer at a local gas station, went there, and made a purchase, scanned the receipt, and all that jazz. My transaction just continues to say "processing" with no resolution. Not worth the hassle. I'll just stick to earning gas points from my local grocery store and save money on filling up that way.

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.
