Do any of y’all use it? It’s basically an app that “pays” you to not text and drive...idk if I’ll ever get enough cash to cash out for a gift card but it appears to be enough of a challenge to produce some behavior modification in me ...i don’t text/drive as much

Yeah I do, it is kinda bullshite since you need 10,000 "paid" miles before you cash out. The $250 option requires 250 referrals and the $500 option requires $5,000 worth of safe miles plus 50 referrals.

All apps pay for your personal information, if you have one what is another one.

Is that $180 in your pocket?

I am reading 5 cents per safe mile. Will they pay be $50 a week if I drive 1000 miles/week?

Nope, you can't cash out till you hit $10,000 then you "buy" a $1,000 gift card that you can cash out.
The app really is bogus, GetUpSide for gas is 100% better as I've cashed out $50 bucks over two months.

What are the "referrals"? You just have to send people invites to the app or something?

Been using it for a few months, didn’t realize it was that hard to cash out. That sucks. Figured I could cash out for $150 gift card, guess not.

That's what I thought as when I joined they offered a 10, 20, 50 dollar gift card. Once I got close those options disappeared and not I see 250, 500, 1000.
250 requires 250 referrals
500 requires 50 referrals and $5000 earned
1000 requires 10,000 earned

Maybe if I drove for a living this would be fine but I don't. I put like 200-300 miles a week on my vehicle.
As I said earlier GetUpSide is great. I've had it awhile and earn every time you get gas at a participating gas station. You earn anywhere from 0.01 to 0.50 per gallon spent back. I've deposited $50 that went directly to may pay pal account

No.

I'm an adult and I have self control. I dont need an incentive to be safe and not endanger myself or others.

If something is free (or pays you in this case), you are the product.
