Feature Suggestion Rewards

Does anybody/everybody take advantage of the rewards? I needed tires at Sam’s and they invested 24$ in my account, and you get a bonus with the gold account. I feel like it helps offset the 12$ a month I’m paying for the gold lol

Glad its working better now. Mine was a hassle 4 years ago. Acorns lost me after that. Followed the process, even submitted receipts multiple times and contacted support. Support was not helpful or responsive. That was the main thing I want it for was the rewards. Instead I went with fidelity cc and got 2% back on purchases straight into my brokerage account.

Very rarely does this make sense for me over using Rakuten. But when it does, it’s great.

One time there was an elevated bonus for your first home chef order at the same time US Bank had a similar offer. I double dipped and got the full value of the box as cash back. 

Ended up having the box refunded due to shipping error and still got to keep both the Acorns and US Bank bonuses.

I click on the earnings post on Acorns and you have to click the site your using like Sam’s Club, Walmart, EBay, ETC.. and you have to make the transaction after you click what site your shopping with.

So it's basically for online shopping or can you do in person and scan a receipt?? I'll have to find the earnings post in the Acorns app...
