I do not get all the charges each month. Charges are combined. This makes it hard to track charges on the card. Monthly statements take three weeks?

Our system currently checks and refreshes your connected account balance up to three times a day. We understand that all of our members are unique and have different spending habits, and sometimes this just isn’t enough. We’re excited to say, we will soon be releasing a number of improvements, including an in-app manual refresh feature! This feature will allow our members to manually update their account balance any time within the Extra app. We will announce this to all of our members once this feature is live. Thank you for your feedback!

I am a little disappointed, that right after I started using my EXTRA card, the gift cards category in the rewards section disappeared. The ability to earn gift cards with points was a major selling point to me. I’m also still trying to convince myself that the small amount of influence over my credit scores are actually worth the fees I’m paying to have the card. The jury is still out.

Since removing gift cards from the store, we’ve received substantial feedback from members on what a huge value add this was for them, and for that reason the team is looking into the reintroduction of gift cards—we're unable to give a timeline at the moment, but we'll let you know when we have them available again. We appreciate your feedback!

The credit tracking is almost worth keeping my account but it bothers me that the point rewards are lacking. Gift cards need to to be offered as items available to be redeemed with reward points. The fact that that option is missing has me looking for another option. I may close my account because your reward catalog is useless to me.

Extra states that it performs account checks 3x a day but it doesn't happen. It would be nice if it was just a continuous action where it would take into account when you added more money to the linked account to increase the spending allowance.

An embarrassing moment when I had funds in my account but extra did not allow the funds to be used. I had to fumble around looking for my other bank card that I had Extra linked to. This happened several times. So I stopped using extra until it caught up with my bank balances.

We're sorry to hear this happened, and we apologize for your experience. Next time, you can check the Extra app for your live Spend Power balance, and the last time it was updated. If you've recently made a deposit, please note it will take a few hours for the system to update. We have a manual refresh feature coming very soon, and this will allow you to perform balance updates when you need them within the app! We'll make an announcement when this goes live.
