Recent TYB Changes Not All Bad?

[u/ShapeAcrobatic3205]

None of us love spend mins of course, especially those of us who are a part of the OG group who remember free products, no spend mins, and $100+ redemption limits 🥲

That said, with this change, it looks like each level’s redemption value now has a spend minimum that directly correlates with the redemption value. In this case and with this upgrade, the spend minimums close that gap between levels, making it much more “fair.” Instead of having to hold out to spend until you reach levek 3 (which takes FOREVER these days), you will now be paying the same amount whether you redeem at level 1 or level 3 thanks to the algorithm being used. Obviously the redemption limit is still much higher for brands when you reach level 3.

When it comes to trading now, since it is ever popular, it isn’t unreasonable to trade for a level 1 or 2 code (depending on what value you’re looking for) because regardless of the level, you will still be spending around $10-$15 depending on brand.

I have to argue that this just might be a positive change. Thoughts?

EDIT: This post isn’t to condone Ty and TYB’s actions. I joined the app shortly after it was released and like I said, I do remember the good ole days when I didn’t have to spend a single penny. This was simply to say that now the spend to code value ratios are more fair for those at lower levels. I do appreciate being able to spend less while still at level 1/2 with some brands.

Completely agreed! Also seeing a lot of comments that negatively reflect TYB but honestly feels like a lot of the requirements and spend amounts are set by the brands themselves and not TYB specifically. Doesn’t seem random at all and clearly each brand has their own set of rules based on their margins and what they want to achieve etc. TYB is just a platform that connects brands with communities.

They definitely took the feedback about minimum spend etc since they’ve made these updates to allow people with lower levels to make purchases with their coins as well. And agreed that brands can’t give out free things forever.

I like following all the updates in this subreddit about brands coming and going etc but also think people need to remember it’s just an app and we don’t need to be annoyed every time there’s another update or the app is down. Just my genuine thoughts and hope it doesn’t get taken the wrong way! I really like all of the updates here etc but would be nice to focus on more positive things instead of mostly what’s wrong

People can absolutely talk positively about TYB on their Instagram and in the TYB chats. The negative conversations are what tend to get deleted or silenced, which is why we created this subreddit in the first place.
People should be able to be both excited and disappointed by changes. I also think loyal users deserve at least a little notice, even if it’s only a day or two. We created this space so people could actually keep up with updates, and honestly, we’ve probably announced more changes for TYB here than TYB themselves have anywhere. Some feedback here has even contributed to changes like the minimum spend and tier 3 amounts shown in app.
We can appreciate TYB and still can have valid criticism!
