BrandClub has been blowing up all over TikTok, with people flexing screenshots of $200+ days like it’s the easiest side hustle since someone decided to sell their kid’s Halloween candy. But is this app legit, or just another “too good to be true” promise like when your kids swear they’ll “totally” clean their room after school? Let’s break it down.

How Does BrandClub Actually Work?

Think of BrandClub like one of those loyalty programs—but with less confusion about points and more actual cash. You link your retailer accounts (Amazon, Target, Walmart—basically all the places you already blow your paycheck). Then BrandClub throws “locked rewards” your way that you can unlock by doing tiny tasks like surveys or—wait for it—buying stuff you were probably already going to buy anyway. It’s like being rewarded for existing as a human with a shopping addiction.

Once you hit $10, you can cash out to PayPal or Venmo. That’s the good part. The bad part? The $1.50 fee they slap on every cash-out. Nothing like paying a fee to access your own money, right? (But hey, Starbucks charges $6 for a latte and we all keep showing up, so…)

What Are Real Users Saying?

Let’s be real—apps like this are only as good as the people using them say they are. And oh boy, the reviews are mixed. Some TikTok users claim they made hundreds in a couple of days. One woman even bragged about snagging $1,000 in 48 hours. (Is she playing BrandClub or hacking into Fort Knox?) Meanwhile, on Reddit, people are excited but cautious—like, “Wow, I just made $25 for my Target run!” but also “Wait… why didn’t my Walmart reward sync?”

There’s also a whole crowd of angry reviews on Trustpilot calling the app “sketchy” and “broken.” People complain about their accounts not syncing, rewards vanishing into the digital void, and support emails that go unanswered faster than my kids when I ask them to put their shoes away. Honestly, it’s a mix of “this is amazing!” and “this is a scam!”—which basically sums up every side hustle app ever.

The Pros and Cons of BrandClub (Because Lists Are Easier to Read While Hiding in the Bathroom)

✔️ Pros	❌ Cons
Real cash, not weird points	Sync issues are like that one friend who “forgets” to text back
Rewards for brands you already use	Rewards expire if you don’t act fast
No receipt scanning (bless)	Cash-out fee is annoying
Decent sign-up bonus	Customer support is basically a ghost town

Can You Really Make $200+ Per Day?

If you’re imagining raking in $300 a day while sipping iced coffee in your PJs, slow your roll. While some users claim these big numbers, you’d have to be either extremely lucky, extremely strategic, or just have a shopping problem the size of Costco to hit those amounts consistently. Realistically? Most people are using BrandClub to shave a few bucks off their weekly shopping bill—not pay the mortgage.

Still, for something that requires zero skill and not much time, it’s worth downloading just to see if you can grab a free $20 or so. If it turns into more, great. If it doesn’t, you’ve wasted about five minutes of your life, which is less time than I’ve wasted searching for the TV remote this week.

Is It Safe?

BrandClub uses encryption to keep your data safe, but if the idea of linking your retailer account makes you break out in hives, maybe skip this one. (I get it—my trust level is so low these days that even Netflix asking “Are you still watching?” feels like an interrogation.)

Final Verdict

BrandClub is a solid “maybe.” It’s great if you want to turn your grocery hauls into cash, but it’s not going to make you rich overnight. Think of it as a casual side hustle—like selling random clutter on Facebook Marketplace, minus the strangers showing up to your house asking if you’ll take $5 for your $50 coffee table.

Bottom line: download it, grab your bonus, test it for a week. Worst-case scenario? You’re out nothing but a few taps on your phone. Best case? You earn enough to buy yourself a guilt-free iced latte while pretending you have your life together.

More Side Hustles to Try (Because One App Is Never Enough)

If you’re already here checking out BrandClub, why stop at just one app? Here are three other side hustles from Mommy Needs Advice that moms-turned-earning-warriors swear by:

• ProGamer – Play & Feedback: A new app where you earn by playing casual mobile games. It’s like JustPlay and PlayHive’s kid cousin—clean interface, quick PayPal cash-outs (sometimes under a dollar), and low withdrawal limits. Perfect for those sneaky bathroom breaks or carpool pit stops.
• Cuze App: Play games, take surveys, refer friends, or try partner offers—earn points and cash out via PayPal, even donate to charity if you’re feeling generous. It won’t make you rich, but it pays without scanning receipts or whining kids in the background.
• Fruit Craze Farm: Match‑3 puzzles that pay. That’s right—you can earn real money ($0.01 to $1 or more) while crushing grapes and watching ads. Instant PayPal cash‑outs start at just $0.01. Basically, screen time that literally pays off.

These apps are great backup hustles when BrandClub is having a syncing day or your Walmart account decides to play hardball. Rotate between them based on your mood—or whichever kids aren’t sleeping on the couch this week. Plus, it’s fun to mix things up while maximizing your earning. Winner winner, snack-money dinner!
