The basics
What it is and how it works
Purchase digital gift cards for participating brands through the app, receive a percentage back to your balance, spend the gift card as normal.
Where the money comes from
How the model works
- Shops pay for sales
- The app shares part of that fee
- Cashback lands in your account
Honest numbers
What you could realistically earn
Savings equal the gift-card discount percentage on money you were going to spend anyway. Not 'income' in a survey sense — more a spending rebate. Amounts vary by retailer and promotion.
No reliable monthly figure is published for JamDoughnut. What you make depends on what you have and how much you put in, so we don't show a scenario chart.
