Don't really get much luck on the gift cards since every body wins except me but other than that am happy with the rewards. Wish we could claim our rewards as a gift card or bank payout

False Promises
I have been using the service since the very start and have to say its extremley disappointing. The use of rewards is so limiting. Yep I have had the odd gift card here and there, but they are so difficult to get hold of. While I do understand there is a supply and demand and I could live with that if some of the "Real world" offers are so empty now. I have a ton of points and really nothing to use them on. Shame as it had some much potential.

Hi Dave, thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear you're disappointed!
Gift cards do go fast as they’re in high demand, but we’re always working to improve availability and broaden the reward selection.🙂 Our team’s also growing the Real World Rewards range, so you'll see more here too! 🚀. Thanks for sticking with us!
A lot of steps to take..
A lot of steps to get through...also some offers are England only. It asks for everything apart from your shoe size 😶 make all offers UK wide pls.

Hey Gerald 👋 Thanks for the feedback! Some offers are currently UK/US only due to brand partner limitations, but we're working on expanding to more regions 🌍.
Not quite what it seems!
I've been a member since the beginning, had a few quid in Amazon gift cards etc but these have become almost impossible to obtain.
I've just had a stab at a gift card and the countdown didn't get to zero before the screen changed telling me they'll be 150 available next week.
The rewards are full of rubbish offers that you get with Vodafone etc and numerous gambling sites... Not sure how one defines online slots as a reward. They've been promising that proper gift card rewards would be available for years but you still have to compete with bots and folk in cities with superfast fibre, not very fair!
I'm about done now with this rubbish, much better rewards for similar data permissions with yougov.

Hi Eugene 👋 we really appreciate you sticking with us since the beginning. 🙂
We understand your frustration, gift cards are in high demand and limited, which means they go quickly. However, we've recently added more ways to earn points and introduced new types of rewards (like prize draws and Real World Rewards), but let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see on there!
You can also switch off categories you don’t want to see, including gambling, anytime at gener8ads.com/dashboard/preferences. We're always working to improve, so thank you for your feedback. 🙂
Shocking gateway to gambling app
Shocking gateway to gambling app. Promotes and prioritises the very ads it should be filtering. A disgrace
Having read the Gener8 response I wish I could remove the 1 star down to zero. You miss the point. Something like gambling adds should be an opt-in, not opt-out. Their are vulnerable people in society who use systems like yours because they think they will be 'safer' clearly not. Just after the ad bucks like everyone else. Shocking

Hi Tim, thanks for your feedback. We include a wide mix of offers in our rewards – from gift cards to charity donations – but understand not all are right for everyone. That’s why you can switch off categories like gambling here: gener8ads.com/dashboard/preferences. Once toggled off, you won’t see related offers or emails. Hope this helps! 🙂
Full of gambling ‘rewards’…
Most disappointing to see the rewards being sent are largely made up of gambling ‘rewards’. It is so irresponsible.

Hi Jenny, we’re sorry to hear this. Our rewards span gift cards, freebies, charity donations and more – and you have full control to opt out of any category you’d prefer not to see, including gambling. Just visit: gener8ads.com/dashboard/preferences and toggle it off. 🙂
A really great app!
A really great app that runs completely in the background but gives the opportunity to convert points for real prizes. This is not a site that will earn you millions but for a low level of effort, it’s brilliant to earn a bit extra in vouchers. It’s also still a small company so I can’t wait to see where things go in the future!

Hi Anna, sorry to hear you're disappointed! We’ve swapped Greggs for more meal deals and coffees recently, but I’ll pass your feedback on if they’re missed! 🎁 Cinema tickets will be back next month too, and there’s always a mix of gift cards, prize draws & more on the way. 💫

Really helpful site with clear instructions on how to submit your data. Just a little frustrated trying to cash out gift cards as there are not many available. Other than that a great idea and easy to use

Thanks for the lovely feedback, Kat! 🌟 We hear you on gift cards, they’re in high demand and can get snapped up quickly. That said, there’s a growing range of other rewards to explore too. We’re always working on making more available 💪 let us know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see at support@gener8ads.com! 🙂
Promises a lot , delivers very little.
I have been with Gener8 from the start and with some perseverance have earned a couple of £5 Amazon vouchers. The idea is great but in reality delivers very little. I have now decided to delete my account and try and use up my points by entering the auctions. I won a just eat voucher but now I can't enter another one for a week. If I give my points to charity I can only give 50 at a time! They have been promising to improve the numbers of rewards for years but it never happens. Hopefully I can use all my remaining points in the near future and leave forever.

Hi Richard, we hear your frustration and appreciate your feedback. While gift cards are limited and go quickly, we’ve added loads of other rewards as we've grown such as, product auctions, and Prize Draws for high-value gift cards. 🛍️
We’re always working to expand what’s on offer and feedback like yours helps guide that. If you’re leaving, we’re sorry to see you go, but hope you enjoy your final rewards. 🙂

Was very skeptical at first; since was building up the points easily enough but every time I tried for a gift card - I was unsuccessful and started to think it was not genuine, however just tried again and managed to get a £5 Sainsburys one so I was wrong and happy to be proven!

Not worth
I don't think you can really earn anything. Points are slow to earn and it's impossible to cash it. For the amount of information they gain I don't think it's worth it.

Thanks for the honest review, Vanessa. We hear you, gift cards are incredibly popular and can go quickly when they drop. We know it can be frustrating missing out, and we’re actively working on ways to improve this.
In the meantime, don’t forget there’s a wide selection of other rewards on Gener8 – from freebies and exclusive offers to prize draws, and even auctions for high value products. And if there’s a specific reward you’d love to see more of, we’re always open to suggestions! 🙂
Appreciate you being part of the Gener8 community 🙌

It is a very good app I got my first discount card for Starbucks yesterday and used it was very impressed it worked as was sceptical it was going to work but it did. I also have had the Mother’s Day box of wine which was lovely treat to have and just pay postage. I do feel it working for me just wish I could earn more points by doing more surveys and having other incentives to earn more points but will slowly gain these

Thanks for the review! ⭐️ We get that some of the higher value rewards can be competitive, especially gift cards – they go quickly when they drop. But we’re glad to hear you’re still enjoying the fact you can earn rewards from your data 🙌. We’re always adding new options to Rewards, so it’s worth checking in regularly! 🎁🎉
Scam artists at their finest
Scam artists at their finest. It's near impossible to get anything that's worth something from this dodgy company. They promise you the world when you sign up so they can get your data. It's virtually impossible to win any gift cards. To win any auctions you need years worth of your stolen data to stand a chance. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Hey Sean, we’re sorry to hear you feel this way! We built Gener8 to flip the model - so you can control and earn from your data. Gift cards are limited and go quickly due to high demand, but there are many other rewards too: auctions, freebies, exclusive offers, and prize draws to name a few!
Every reward is real and fairly earned. You can opt in and out of data sources, it's always your choice what you choose to share.
If there’s a reward you’d love to see, we’re always open to ideas. You can drop us a note anytime at support@gener8ads.com 🙂
