OnMyWay: Driving Rewards 17+

On My Way App Money

So far I just had this app backed into a corner with my other apps working in the background. I have up to one thousand and three hundred dollars in OnMyWay money. I like the app and the concept of it. I have seen a lot of negative reviews. I just want to say there is a lot of potential with this app. Just two questions going forward. Number one: If I wanted to use my money to redeem to get a 500 dollar gift card with my OnMyWayMoney, would I have to just spend that money and pick the place I want or do I need to go refer people and have the amount of OnMyWayMoney in order to get that. I plan to use that gift card in the summer. Second question: I am more of a PayPal guy. So in the future if you ever add PayPal or EBay gift cards, I will be on it. Will that be added to the app in the future? Those are my only questions but I am satisfied with my account and what I have, I just want to know what are the plans for the future so I know what to expect for the summer.

Frustrating

I’ve had the app for more than 2 years. First off, advertising that you’ll be paid is a stretch. You don’t receive cash, and in order to redeem “money” you’ve “earned”, you have to jump through hoops (spend your own money and advertise businesses on your social media) to receive very little of it at any one time.
I do not have the time or inclination to film shameless plugs and put them on my social media for a $5 reward. Besides, with over $3000k earned, can you imagine how that would look?! Yuck! Nor do I even have interest in frequenting most of these businesses we can “redeem rewards” at.
But still, I like the idea, and I thought the crypto option could be great. I was able to buy one share of the NY NFT a year ago. It’s been sold out for some time, with a message that California was coming soon. So I’ve just been hanging out accumulating useless dollars. I’m over $1500 now, and whenever I try to access the crypto reward, I get a black screen. I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled. I’ve tried accessing via the internet….also get nowhere. This is a HUGE disappointment. I’m embarrassed I ever referred my friends and family. And I definitely won’t refer anyone else, maybe not even admit I ever used the app because I look like a fool for allowing them to track me and use my information.

Bummed about this

I was so excited to check this app out and thought it was a great idea! Unfortunately it’s quite scammy. I watched the welcome video and spent some time reading reviews and learning the app. There seem to be 2 ways to earn money- 1. Use your points to buy a part share of an NFT…. A notoriously scammy property that doesn’t translate into actual money for you (but might, maybe, someday, soon, if it’s luckier than all the other NFTs out there…) and 2. To work as the world’s worst paying influencer and make an entire video promoting the app while you’re purchasing food or getting gas, share it with your social media ppl, tag them and friends, etc. For $5. I have friends who get paid $100s or thousands to create and share videos like these, even simple ones. What on earth? Do you want to turn your socials into basically a space for ads? I don’t.

They keep promising in the reviews that it will get better, so I’ll keep it for now. I don’t text and drive so I don’t need the app to force me to leave my phone, but if you need the motivation of earning pretend money, I think it’s good for that! I’m not sure if it will be useful to me in the future, but I hope they make it better or someone makes a good version of this app, because it’s a great idea. It’s just executed poorly, I’m so sad to say.
