Point App Reviews

Before Point, I was using a traditional debit card. As a college student, I was never really used to the idea of credit, and since my friends were often paying with cash or debit, I never felt the need to switch to a credit card.
After seeing Point's capabilities, I realized this is the perfect card for me. As someone who wants to spend without having to worry about going over my balance, I can do that with Point. On top of that, Point's benefits system is great since I don't feel like I'm missing out on the credit card benefits that my parents claim make the credit card system so great. Even better, Point rewards me for buying from some of my favorite merchants (including Philz Coffee, Blue Bottle Coffee, Sweetgreen, to name a few).

I've always been an avid debit card user because credit cards intimidate me a bit and I would always prefer to spend what I already have and not have to worry about repaying it or interest. But, debit cards just don't have the same perks as a credit card does. Then came Point.
Point lets me spend the money I know that I have without extra charges and interest with all the perks of a credit card! It's nice to be able to add it to some of the subscription services I use and earn cashback points on it. It's like I'm earning on auto-pilot. A lot of the times, I forget what merchants I can get points from so I try to use my card often and when I get the little notification from the Point app, it's a nice little surprise.
This card makes earning cashback easy and it's nice to know there are no hidden fees.

Before Point, I would only use travel and airline credit cards. I never truly understood how the travel points accumulated, and even when I did manage to book a flight with points, it would be a pain to coordinate the booking through the third party points platform (Chase's travel portal, for example). With Point, I get favorable rewards from some of my favorite brands, including Spotify, Netflix, and Headspace. Plus, I don't have to worry about interest charges because I'm protected from spending money I don't have due to the debit card format.
