Word play. Get it? Redemption? Ok, nevermind.
Anyways, I opened my PerkStreet account back in December and have been wondering just where in the world are my perks?
So, I finally called customer service up, and it appears that it does not automatically credit into your account or anything. I have to manually redeem it first. Ohhhh, man I feel dumb.
But yeah, I've accumulated $7 so far, and the rep confirmed that I am on track for $150 more in a few more months.
Soooo, this is the part where I accidentally clicked on a $5 gift card for Amazon. Oops! But that's OK. I want to make sure that the perk system is working anyways, and it won't be hard for me at all to spend $5 on Amazon.
Otherwise, everything else seems to be working just fine. Credits, transfers, and direct deposits. All good. Once I receive the gift card, I'll know everything is working as it should.
Update: Hey, I just got an email from PerkStreet that gave me a code, presumably $5 off, on Amazon purchases. Wow! So, not a gift card, but a redeeming code.
Also, it seems that yet someone else from PerkStreet has commented here. Kind of scary how they're on top like this. I've only written this entry this morning. Yikes! Well done, PerkStreet!

But it does look like it's working. Soon as I receive the $5 gift card, then I'll know for sure.

Glad you are enjoying the perks and I hope we can continue to make it a better banking relationship.
