JamDoughnut: Cashback & Comps

I’ve had mixed feelings over this app all the way through but am still using it because for the most part it works. The good parts obviously are having so much variety and some cards now being able to be added to apple wallet then updating themselves with balance is great. The cash back builds fairly quick especially if you are shopping regularly and it’s available much faster than older cash back apps. However sometimes the app crashes when at the till (which is where I normally get them because I then know how much I want) meaning I have to pay for my shopping after paying for a gift card so it’s better to have them stored and screen shot them just in case before you head out. The bonus for introducing a friend only comes when they cash out so some of my friends are building up good amounts but I have no bonus as they have not cashed anything out and most annoying is the points they say you will get when you get the gift card are very different to what they give you. My most recent one I noticed was buying a £46 Tesco card where it said you will get 138 points but when it was done it only gave me 92 points, it’s only 44 points but when you are using this because you know every penny counts losing 44 pennies adds up so I’d rather they were honest at the start when you are buying and say you are getting 92 points.

I used this app for the 1st time recently and was a bit unsure. I just used it for a couple of gift cards and saw the Cashback adding up but not yet to a point where I could cash out. Yesterday I was making an expensive purchase and knew I could get Cashback through this app but was hesitant as I hadn’t used this app for buying a gift card for a large amount of money (it was a holiday). I need not have worried, though because I bought the gift card last night and used it on my purchase with no problems. I then withdrew the Cashback money and the information said it could take 5 days to reach my bank account. It was in my bank this morning so I’m very happy.

I use JamDoughnut pretty much every time I go shopping. A great selection of retailer gift cards offering instant cashback. When using it in a supermarket, I wait until all items have been scanned and get a gift card for the exact amount or just under so I use the entire gift card balance in one transaction (don’t like having various cards left with balances on them). Constructive Criticism: I wish buying with Apple Pay offered the same cashback amount as paying via Bank as the latter is a hassle and takes a lot more time.
