Trunow - Earn cash back for buying gasoline and snacks

Trunow Referral Code: 1JB4LF | Non-ref

Trunow is an app that gives you cash back for scanning your gas station receipts and completing a short survey. The survey just asks where you bought the gas (it can be skipped), has you select one of 5 smiley faces, and it allows you to type more about your experience if you want. You receive 1% cash back at eligible gas stations, or 0.5% cash back for out of network gas stations. You can also see nearby gas stations on their map, and you can receive a small amount of points for confirming or updating the local prices. They do have a couple rebates for specific products as well such as coke, fountain drinks, candy bars, etc.

 

Cashout Options & Minimum Cashout	You are able to redeem for gas at eligible retailers. I do not know what the minimum is or how this works since I do not live near one. PayPal has a "$10" minimum, but you receive half of it.
Minimum Age	18
Countries	USA
Personal Information Required	Phone number, PayPal email. In their profile it also has first and last name, date of birth, address, email, and gender but I have not been required to fill these out.
Referral Program	There is a referral program, but it does not specify what you receive. Their FAQ just says the amount changes depending on the promotion and that the user must upload a receipt and have it approved before you receive any points.
Point Expiration	24 months
Contacting Support	Email: customercare@trunow.com
Ways to Earn	Cash back for purchasing gas, cash back for purchasing certain products, referrals

 

Pros

• You can see local gas prices and nearby stations on the map.

• Your points are shown as a dollar amount in most places.

• They seem to take any gas receipt, even if they don't know a specific gas station exists.

 

Cons

• Their cash back amount is really weird. They show your points as a dollar most of the time, but PayPal is worth half that.

• They aren't good about communicating how things will work. The referral program doesn't tell you what you'll get. You might not realize PayPal is worth 50% of your "dollar" amount until you go to cash out. So on and so forth.

 

Overall opinion

I like that I'm able to get cash back for purchasing gas, but their reward system is really screwy. They show your points as a dollar amount, so you think you're getting a certain amount, but that's not exactly true. I also find it weird that they round down the cash back percentage even though they clearly have the ability to give you a fraction of a point. This app is great if you purchase a lot of gas, but if you're like me and only drive a couple thousand miles a year, then you might only get to cash out once every year or so.
