• Aspiration is offering some users 10% cash back on purchases from 9/4 until 9/7 on up to $500 in spend. To be eligible you must spend at least $50 (looks like you earn 10% back after this initial $50 in spend). You also need to have made at least 10 debit card purchases between 9/4 until 9/30

Our Verdict

I’m guessing that people that were eligible for the earlier 10% deal won’t be eligible for this one. It’s obviously a good offer but Aspiration makes these needlessly complicated with the initial $50 spend requirement and 10 debit card purchases requirement, seems like they are trying to catch out people not reading the promotion carefully. A lot of readers have Aspiration accounts from the $100 checking bonus, might be worth keeping them open for these sorts of offers.
