You can download the Drop App from the App Store or Google Play, but you’ll need to an invite code to sign up. You can use mine, invite code: jv0st, and earn 1,000 points. I will earn 1,000 point as well.
There’s a catch. They need your bank log in info to add your cards o the app.

The sign-up bonus of 1,000 points might sound like a lot, but is only worth $1. So each point is equal to 1/10 of a cent.

Redeem Points
Points are worth 1/10 of a cent because that’s how much value you get when using them to purchase gift cards. They have a wide selection of gift cards available, all at 1,000 per dollar. You can get Amazon, Best Buy, Dunkin, Starbucks, Lyft and many more.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is obviously a great app for now, but we’ll see how long it lasts. They offer great rates at very interesting merchants, which is cash earned on top of other rewards programs. They also have lots of gift card redemption choices, such as Amazon, which it as good as cash for many.
Now the main issue with this app is how you link your credit and debit cards. Instead of inputting the card info, you need to enter the bank log in information for your account and they will automatically add the cards to the app. I’m sure that’s a big turn off for many, so definitely think about this before signing up.
