Beam

Despite the latest update to the app being 10 months ago, the description for the app still states that it is available in Sydney. I was trying to remember why I had deleted the app, so I reinstalled it and it was immediately obvious why - you’re instantly greeted with a message stating that Beam Wallet is no longer available in Sydney since 2021, but they’ll be back in 2022 to provide an update. This comment is still the latest update showing as at August 2024. I see other comments saying they’ve had trouble having their accounts deactivated - I’m off to start that process, so hopefully I can actually deactivate. TLDR: don’t bother installing if you’re in Sydney. It’s not available.

Took out $1.13 out of my account when i made an account. It is a scam app and hasn't contacted me back after i contacted them. Do not get this app. You can see people who experiences similar things below.

I downloaded this app and it immediately charged money from my card without a purchase - fraud app!!!

Super easy and quick!

Best rewards app in Sydney. You can use Promo Code 2011 for a cash bonus when you sign up! Lots of rewards and freebies - absolutely love it!

Hardly any retailers support it, and yet it’s still virtually impossible to search who does. (May as well have an html list.) Worse still, this update quits out when searching by category. No idea what these guys are trying to achieve.

Customer support is unresponsive, and has limited live chat support. I’ve asked for the account to be deleted, several times with no response. Update: Customer support had deleted my previous ticketed request to have the account deleted, and had not honored the request. This company conducts itself in suspicious patterns in collecting personal data. I would not trust such an inconsistent, and obscure company like this, with its own intentions set above the common respect of consumers. I am considering legal action at this point.

They took money out of my account without my consent. I only had it for about 20 mins before I deactivated it and then they took money out of my account. It was only a few dollars but it’s still wrong and they have yet to get back in contact with me and refund me.

Haven’t received my ‘free money’ as everyone else claims they have. No promo codes work for me and can’t even discover stores.

They don’t reply to problems and it doesn’t work!
