Rewards Evolution



Our next evolution of rewards is nearly upon us! Soon you’ll be able to earn rewards on all your biggest monthly expenses (mortgage, rent, etc) simply by using your account and routing number found in the Fold app.We’re not ready to give you all the details quite yet, but we did want to provide you with a little of the “why” and give you a chance to stack as many spins as you want while you can! Why?As Fold has become the number one place to manage your finances powered by bitcoin, there has been a growing need to make paying bills “more Fold”. We’ve always had the account and routing number available but one major piece was missing. Rewards.Paypal Bill Pay fills in some gaps, but it’s a “Stack Hack” workaround dependent on a third party. You’ll still be able to utilize it normally (and you still should), but we wanted to bring rewards to EVERY bill. And soon you’ll see how! Stay tuned!Spin WheelIf you’ve been here from the beginning you know the Spin Wheel has done A LOT of evolving!Initially:1 spin5 minute time limitdetermined your entire rewardYes, it’s true. No category boosts, no base reward, no second chances. Sometimes it was great! Sometimes you were stuck with nothing!Then we got better:Time limit increased to 24 hours, then 7 days.Respins were addedShift to a base reward model with Spins as a supplement and chance to score huge!As time has passed and the program has evolved, the Spin Wheel has become less central to the Fold experience and overall rewards.We’ve added:Category Boosts – 1.5%+ on Dining, Travel, and more!Merchant Boosts – 3%+ on some of the biggest merchants in the world like Walmart, Target, Costco, Sams Club.

Every day you log in, you get a spin on the wheel. For Spin+ subscribers that’s a free shot at a bitcoin every single day!What is changing?Once we launch the new Bill Pay rewards, you’ll no longer receive 1 spin per $10 of spend. So spin your heart out this weekend and early next week. Buy that bitcoin, buy those Gift Cards, and use your Fold Debit Card to stack as many spins as you can! We hope you hit some big ones!What’s next?If you’re a Spin+ subscriber, get ready for a whole new way to earn rewards!
