The Drop App offers points on shopping purchases at top retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Target, various grocery stores and restaurants, and more. Just link your credit or debit card in the app, and you’ll earn up to 2% back in points, with the points redeemable for various merchant gift cards from Drop.

You have to link your credit and debit cards to the app so they can see where you spent money. Then you’ll earn Drop points to redeem for gift cards at select retailers. Points can only be earned at the five specific retailers you choose from the list (full list below). After initially choosing five stores, it’s not possible to change your selection. Choose your 5 stores carefully!

Here's a full list of all available merchants to earn points from, and the point earnings rate for shopping with the Drop app:

Amazon.com – 20 points per $1 (2%)
Walgreens – 10 points per $1 (1%)
Walmart – 10 points per $1 (1%)
Target – 10 points per $1 (1%)
Whole Foods Market – 10 points per $1 (1%)
Trader Joe’s – 15 points per $1 (1.5%)
Safeway – 11 points per $1 (1.1%)
HEB – 20 points per $1 (2%)
Fred Meyer – 20 points per $1 (2%)
Uber – 15 points per $1 (1.5%)
Starbucks – 15 points per $1 (1.5%)
McDonald’s – 10 points per $1 (1%)
Dunkin’ Donuts – 17 points per $1 (1.7%)

You’ll see the points within 5 days from when you make the purchase.

Currently, there's no public link to join, but you can get added to a Waitlist.
If you want to join now, you’ll need to use a referral invite code. My referral code is: 95xre. The referrer gets a 1,000 bonus ($1) and you also get started off with 1,000 points ($1) for joining.

1. Download the app Android link, iOS link
2. Enter an invite code (mine is: 95xre)
3. Link a card; this is done by inputting your bank login, it’ll then link all cards in the login
4. Choose the five retailers where you want to earn points [Again choose wisely, as these retailer selections cannot be changed!]

In terms of linking your bank logins to the app Drop uses plaid. This is the same back end provider that Mint, Acorns, Robin and others use. You can read more about their security set up here: https://www.earnwithdrop.com/pages/security

Any purchase made with a linked card at your 5 selected retailers will earn points. Each point is worth 1/10 of a penny. For example, 1,000 points is worth $1. When Drop says you’ll earn 20x per dollar on Amazon, that’s not 20% back, rather 2% back. And when you get a 1,000 point signup bonus, it’s not $10, rather $1.

Points can be redeemed for gift cards. Here's the current list of redemption options:

$5 Starbucks – 5,000 Points
$5 Aerie – 5,000 Points
$10 Old Navy – 10,000 Points
$10 Dunkin’ Donuts – 10,000 Points
$10 iTunes – 10,000 Points
$10 Amazon.com – 10,000 Points
$10 American Eagle Outfitters – 10,000 Points

YMMV.

It appears those that signed up prior to this post are grandfathered into the former earnings rate of 10pts/dollar at Walgreens.
