Drop app for extra CB
« on: June 27, 2017, 09:02:24 AM »
I didn't see this mentioned yet but for those unaware there's an app called Drop which provides extra cb in the form of GCs (10k drop points = $10 Amazon gc). The way it works is you link your cards (doesn't seem to be a limit to amount of cards) and pick 5 merchants to get cb with (choose carefully as you can't change this list). Included are a bunch of impressive ones like Amazon, Walmart and target. Also earn points for other things like referrals and social activity.

Right now it's invite only I won't post mine but maybe Dan can provide his referral?

I just joined yesterday anyone else try this out? Any interesting data points or issues please share!

On the surface this seems huge to get an extra 2% on amazon and changes the math on ms as several of these merchants sell gc...

I dont like that you cant just add CC#'s, you actually have to provide bank login info for them to access the CC's, and they obviously "mine" the data of your spending trends...

True. Not unlike mint, personal capital, etc.

Of course, the question is what you are willing to give in return... I would imagine the security concerns are a little much for some of us.
