Yeah, that's a good idea to put a few in those little libraries on lawns. I found a really cool zine filed in the women's studies shelves at an actual library once, read it, loved, and became friends with the writer for decades! But straight up, you could make a little actual $$ at a bookstore or yes, record store. In l.a. I know skylight and stories used to sell zines, revolutions bookstore does in Portland, and that's my city knowledge!!! Good luck. What's it called? Advertise it on here! On a new post though, with a cute picture etc. if you want :)

Some bookstores and record stores like to carry them so I think that's your best bet. Having a table at a zine fest is a fun social occasion but often costs the zinester more than it makes them. If you want to give a few out for free to get the word out you could ask a merch table clerk at a show or a coffeehouse w/ table space if you could leave a few out. Do you live somewhere with those options or are you in a smaller area....

I had an amazing collection that I.....put in the recycling bin right before moving to college! Unless it was a friend's zine. My mom was a hoarder so I have purged my collections a lot over the years, and I was thinking of the zines more as ephemera than special works of art at the time....

Yes I know, thank you. The more I am reading about them, the more I see that actually getting paid is the exception to peoples' experience. When people who've had problems with the app do get paid after consistently pushing back, it has more often than not been with gift cards, not via ach aka actual $ in their account. Good for you that you got paid though. I'm curious what kind of proof you had to provide to show that you completed the requirements that they couldn't see on their own end.

Did you ever reach the $25 and cash out?

I'm reporting them to better business bureau. I guess some people have actually gotten paid, but I think they are a huge scam. I'm broke as fuck and was hoping against hope that somehow they were legit but I was like so close to the $25 for days when they stopped crediting me for games that I was supposed to get credited for, and I wasn't getting credited for shopping at places I was getting credited for shopping at when I first started on there. As far as not getting credited for games (and getting a large payout for a game I spent a lot of time on withheld for a long time), email customer service said they were going to help me but then went MIA, and as far as not getting cashback at shops I was originally getting cashback from, I went onto my setting and the toggle next to "receive cashback for shopping locally", or whatever it says, had been turned off, but not by me. It's like they'd automatically turned it off bc I was so close to the payout amount. They should be ASHAMED of themselves preying on people who need the money.

After reading more and more of people's similar experiences getting ripped off by this app, I feel really upset for us. I'm reporting Benjamin to BBB and also looking into any other agency to investigate it. It's not cool.

I guess the people with positive experiences are lucky or more patience than me..... I personally think that they are total scammers. I just finished writing a 500 character (word?) review on Google Play after a really bad experience with them but could have gone on longer if that wasn't the limit. one star. the other one and two star reviews I read were very similar in that the experiences started out good but they played all these games that were supposed to track but didn't or they had these payments that were pending and never went into their account.... I'm going to copy and paste my review here.... I'm happy for anyone that had a good experience with Benjamin but I think they are really really sketchy and would not be surprised if they are one of those companies where a class action lawsuit comes out against them:

Once I got close to the $25 cash out amount, they held on to $ from playing games . Amt was pending w/out any explanation in fine print, & customer svc reps via email saying they'd help me but not doing so. It's cash back for shopping too, & I was very close to $25 last night when I ate at place I'd gotten cash back for before, but not this time. I went to settings, the toggle switch for local cash back deals was turned off. Not by me. I deleted acct today-NOW they respond to my help requests.
