Many readers report Dosh suspending accounts of those who were earning Dosh rewards on gift card purchases against the terms. To be clear, all the user does is link their card, but Dosh still penalizes accounts that aren’t being used as they want.
Even accounts with just a few transactions are getting caught up in this suspension. Reportedly, you need 60%+ of your transactions to be non-giftcard related for them to be happy with your account.
I always find it annoying when companies suspend accounts who haven’t done anything wrong, rather than just taking back the cashback that wasn’t deserved based on the terms. They do have something in the terms about this, though.
In any case, this is a heads-up that if you have a lot of gift card purchases at Dosh-earnings merchants be sure to keep those cards off Dosh to avoid account suspension. Readers suggest that you can try getting your account reinstated to be used for ordinary purchases.
