They removed all the useful rewards and don't intend to bring them back.

I don't like how all the gift card options have been removed. Please bring them back as they are the main reason I joined.

Alex Xia, 2024-10-31

They had amazon and visa gift card rewards which was the whole reason I installed this extension, but by the time I had enough to redeem them they only had like 100 available until they'd be sold out, which is such a small amount for how many people use this app. Then a little later they removed them completely. I forgot about this app for awhile hoping they'd come back but they still haven't and the givaways site doesnt even work. I have so many points sitting around but nothing to spend them on. If they had a selection of gift cards like amazon, visa, xbox, or steam, then there'd be something worthwhile to spend them on, or if I could cash them out for cashback like rakuten, that'd be worth letting them have my data. Essentially, they're getting this all for free and giving nothing back, so I'm considering pausing my activity until there's something worthwhile
