We have a new feature in the GeniusCash app – bonus Quests with big Genius Coin payouts. Our first one is live this week. You can earn 1,000 Genius Coins just for learning about a promo offer.

If you have a credit card added in the Max tab, that could turn into an extra dollar on your next monthly payout.

All you have to do is open the app, check out the product and offer, and a pile of coins will be yours.

What can you use Genius Coins for?

You can use Genius Coins to purchase levels that increase your cash back earn rate.

This earn rate determines the cash back we dish out when you add cards to your Max wallet and enter in your monthly spend.

On the home page, you’ll find a link to the Genius Shop. From there, you can decide how many coins you want to cash in. Right now, every 1,000 coins will increase your level for 1 month.

The starting level 1 offers 0.1% cash back on your transactions, and every level adds another 0.1% to that, up to a maximum of 1% (terms).

You can increase your level 2 ways – by cashing in Genius Coins or by getting approved for offers. Every offer you get approved for increases your level by 1 for 12 months unless we're running a special offer.

Keep an eye out for exclusive GeniusCash offers in the app that you can't get anywhere else – even here on creditcardGenius.ca.
