Zogo: Learn and Earn

So I am a Fetch Rewards user (best app in the world!) and a buddy of mine has introduced me to Zogo, another app that rewards you free gift cards if you collect a sufficient amount of points. I mean, who doesn’t love free stuff right? So I decided to try this out to see what this ‘alternative’ rewards app has to offer. Unfortunately, my experience was a disappointment. I wanted to earn a $5 Apple Gift Card and needed a ton of pineapples to get it. So I play a ton of the learning games to rack up the amount of points needed to earn my gift card. As soon as I successfully racked up the required amount of points for it, I redeem it and… my reward was denied. Why? Well, it turns out my account was flagged for suspicious activity. I’m sorry what? Suspicious activity? You gotta be kidding… It was ridiculous because I did nothing wrong. All I did was play games to earn points to redeem for a free gift card and all of that just to get denied for suspicious activity? And not to mention that the points I redeemed were subtracted from my total but I’m still empty handed with no reward. What a joke. I wasted my time with this. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this app. I highly recommend downloading Fetch Rewards instead! It’s a very rewarding app and I promise it’s worthwhile. I’ve been a loyal user there since 2020 and I’ve gotten tons of rewards there!

To be honest, I love zogo. It helps kids and teens with learning what they need in the future and earn quick gift cards while studying. Recently though, zogo has partnered with stride where you have to submit a usa ID, passport, and drivers license. Which I’m pretty okay with since a lot of bots or people create new accounts to earn even more money and lie. The problem I have is the selfie part, most parents are most likely not to do that for their children, so they will never be able to cash out. The ID part is totally understandable, but the selfie is very unnecessary. Another problem with this app is that gift cards are almost never in stock. Before this app updated or had the verification steps, I was always able to see when and how much gift cards where left, even if one was left I was still able to see. These days I can’t cash out because I wait for Monday midnight ET, the next day I woke up at 7AM-8AM and checked and already it says they will be restocked/refreshed at Monday midnight ET with 0 cards left. I hate this glitch or whatever it is so much. This doesn’t only happen to me, but to other people. I get that zogo is not responsible for the giftcards, but someone else is, I just feel like zogo should maybe communicate with these people as customers and learning children should not go to that much trouble.

We all know about literacy apps that make you pay for premium learning or more enhanced learning you don’t get with the “free version”. Zogo pays YOU for learning how to handle money better! 😁 I got upset when I ran out of hearts because I thought I would have to pay to receive more or wait for HOURS- but in fact, all you really have to do is cough up a meager 500 pineapples! ☺️ As a person with ADHD and other learning disorders that make it hard to focus and learn “complicated” topics like the ones Zogo covers, Zogo actually makes it really easy and fun to learn new things, and it sticks in my brain for when I need to use the things I learned in the real world! 💕💕 Definitely recommend for anyone trying to learn more about how to manage money, especially if you’re a lower income citizen. Thanks, Zogo! 🤪🍍
