originally wrote about my account being froze and not posting. i sent an email after 4 business days they did respond and mentioned about corporate card and manufactured spend. One problem, I did not have a corporate account link and this “manufactured spend” they mentioned was i made a few purchases on amazon on PRIME DAY.

I replied back to the rep and told her I do not have a corporate account link and if they can please explain what they considered i manufactured spend, i then sent them a screen shot of the TV i bought on prime day. The next day, they replied with an apology saying they instituted a new program and I was inadvertently flagged got an apology and my account was reinstated where i could redeem the $10 gc that i had in point.
Side note, redemption wsa processed and got the gift card in minutes. This seemed to have changed. I got the wealthsimple offer of 75K and it was credited a day after the funding came out of my account. I redeemed some gift cards but the message now says it can take up to 3 business days to get the e-gift card. It’s been only 1 day so far so hopefully it will come within 3 days

Im attaching the 2 messages from them, first to tell me its locked and the other after i sent the screen shot

Our system automatically flags users who have a corporate card connected for business spending or users who it suspects to be engaging in manufactured spending. We’re unfortunately unable to award points and allow redemptions on these purchases as Drop aims to reward our users’ every day spending.
The current course of action is to unlink your corporate and manufactured spending cards from your Drop account. You’ll be able to once again earn Drop points and redeem rewards. Note that you won’t be able to get your points from purchases made with the unlinked card, even after you’ve unlinked. As well, you’ll be reflagged if you relink your corporate and manufactured spending cards.
Give us a shout once you’ve done so and we will manually unflag your account.
Thanks for being a member,

We’d like to apologize for this inconvenience. We’ve recently been facing large volumes of manufactured and corporate spending, and have been extra conservative because of that. The system was implemented to ensure fairness for our every day users, such as yourself. Unfortunately you were caught up in the process and we’re extremely sorry about that.

We’ve unflagged your account and you can now earn points redeem rewards. We’ve also added an extra 1,000 points to your account for the inconvenience.

Thanks for being a member!

drop is a joke… I STRONGLY encourage anyone who, like me, was ripped off by them to give them 1 star at the app store

Why not cash it out via check and just buy more Disney gift cards later on down the road? Getting a 5% discount shouldn’t be hard. Unless I’m missing something going the check to route is what I’ll do.

The most disappointing thing about this is I was able to fund with an A+ card and have it code as travel. Churning A+ every 6 months in two player mode and dumping into the Disney vacation fund was nice while it lasted.

I don’t see anywhere where you can choose a check on the website, perhaps a check is only issued if you deposited funds through your checking account, and that is why it is mentioned.

It was option#4 in the email they sent me. Haven’t called yet but I’ll find out soon enough.

Called and was told to use the online system for a refund since they can’t do anything on their end. She told me to just select that I didn’t use a gift card to fund (Even though I did) and to select the option that my debit/credit card to fund no longer exists. Told me it’ll be 1-2 days before I get an email and that I’ll get a check via snail mail. They can’t confirm on their end after I submit… seems they’re also somewhat left in the dark and are getting slammed with requests which isn’t surprising.

My writer wanted to pull it down and make some changes to the post. Minor changes to me.

Basically he said he tried to threaten them but when that didn’t work he asked nicely and was able to get his account/points back.
