Be wary about paying for the higher tiers. I'm experiencing the app getting more glitchy lately where you can activate a store, spend in that store, and it doesn't register. Customer support just say you must not have activated it properly, even when you have screen shots showing its still active! Would you want to risk £2.99 or £3.99 a month for that? I'd stick to the basic tier, but just be prepared to miss out on cashback occasionally. Ok when it works, but sadly has got worse over the years.

A great little quick credit offering plus the rewards system is a real boost. What it really needs though is the ability to lock a debit card to a Pay Over 6 Weeks schedule. I have two cards attached and it's a bit of a hassle having to remember to change the Default Card just before a payment is due to ensure it goes out of the right account. Make that a thing and this will be a 5 star app.

I use Zilch specifically for the 2% reward for paying now. I love that the reward appears immediately in Zilch and can be used straight away as cash. I was so happy to see Zilch Anywhere because most cashback apps can only be used at specific retailers. Being able to get a reward/cashback for shopping at retailers that are not already partnered with Zilch is a huge bonus and is primarily what I was looking for, because there are many retailers that just aren't partnered with any of these apps.
