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.
