Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers are really happy with the app, finding it easy to use and appreciating that it runs passively in the background while still earning them daily points. Many people enjoy the anti-tracking features and cookie blocking, and they value the opportunity to earn discounts and gift cards for everyday expenses. However, some customers also noted that the availability of gift vouchers is often poor, making it frustrating to redeem rewards. People mentioned that rewards sell out very quickly, requiring them to be fast to secure items, and some feel that the actual value returned is minimal compared to the time invested.

Hi Mary 👋

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback - we just wanted to clarify a few points!

Gener8 allows you to choose exactly how you want to earn points and which rewards to redeem and data is only shared with your consent. While some high-value or popular rewards do go quickly, there’s always a wide range of options available, including gift cards, exclusive offers, freebies, charity donations, and auctions.

You’re fully in control of your account and data, and you can delete everything anytime from your profile if you choose. There’s nothing hidden here – everything is optional, and rewards are real 🙂.

You can reach out to us anytime at support@gener8ads.com if you have any other questions about how it works! Thanks again.

AVOID this scam

AVOID this scam! Future class action lawsuit!! They say they pay for data but gift cards are always "out of stock" been stealing my data for months and I never once got a giftcard. For weeks I waited at the exact second and the app always glitches and says they are none. DO NOT USE THIS. I am Uninstalling mine today and contacting a lawyer.

Customer service cares

I agree with all these other reviews. Only luck I've had with gift cards is I just randomly open the app and go to gift cards, $5 Domino's for the last 2 weeks. Then 645am today i get an email saying i won $100 home Depot gift card. And while the app has never run smoothly the customer service seem to actually care for the most part. Now if we could just get the option of turning our points into cold hard cash. Then alot less things bother me lol

Great passive app that pays

Great passive app, your data is collected anyway why not get paid for it. It's great that they show you exactly what's being collected and also show you what Google has collected each week. They also have other awesome features like the data breach search & the web browser. The gift card rewards do pay if you are there promptly at the redeem time but can be annoying because they go very quickly. I have redeemed 2 so far but have been trying to redeem a third one for four months now. Their customer support responded quickly to a problem I had & resolved it. So, I've had a relatively positive experience despite the limited amount of gift cards.

You're unlikely to get your rewards out

Have loads of credits but can never get a gift card. They have very low numbers (sometimes, 20, 30 or 50) of gift cards that are taken in 2 seconds by hundreds, if not thousands of users, making getting them a losing lottery. Have been on, set alarms for and waited prior at the given time and not been successful over 20 times now. Meanwhile they're collecting all the interest on our 'funds'. Great. Thanks very much.

Once I have used up my reward points I will delete this app. I used to love using this getting points for my data towards gift cards. These days they have made it impossible to get anything. They have lowered the amount of gift cards available and no matter how quick I am waiting minutes for the time to go down I’m never able to get any gift cards and this has been weeks of trying for any. I’m quite a quick person on my phone so can only imagine for something who’s not this is virtually impossible to get anything.
