Anyone use the Acorn App?

[Sleepy]

I just signed up a few months ago. Just started off with a $100 deposit and weekly deposits of $10.

I also use the Earn Found Money feature which is the main reason I started an account with Acorns.

I book hotels for all our guys. I already have an Orbitz account, and when you book on Orbitz through Acorns Earn Found Money, Acorns will invest 4% of the hotel cost. In 3 months I have made $914 just from booking hotels. Not only am I getting the money thrown in my Acorns account, I’m also accruing Orbitz “Orbucks”, of which I have around $630.

There are lots of other places you can buy from off Acorns that will invest a percentage into your account.

It is a no brainer and if you book hotels often, you are missing out on some pretty decent extra cash.

How does Acorn profit from this? Are they sitting on everyone's extra money kinda like a bank?

Good question.

Good question.

Fees are $1 per month for accounts under $5,000. Accounts over $5,000 are charged an annual fee of .25% of assets.

Yep. I have it. Seems great for "small" investment accounts.

If you are playing with more than a few zeros you would be better off somewhere else.

I don't do the round up. Just started about 2 years ago and it pulls $25 every time I get paid. I check it every once in a while. Got a pretty good size chunk in there now. Maybe one day it will buy me a boat.

Hmmm, interesting. First I've heard of this.

Is this the one that has a feature where you purchase something for $5.80 and it rounds up and adds .20 cents to your account? (rounds up every purchase made)

Yes, when your round ups total $5 they pull it from your acct.

Made us both $5, thanks for the link

I've never thought about it because the amounts are all so small but this thread made me look closer. Expedia gives 4% and I book all my work travel through there so definitely worth it


here's my link if anyone needs one https://www.acorns.com/invite/HK8RZY

They charge .25% for accounts over $5,000

That doesn't seem like a lot but it adds up over time. There are other options that offer 0%

It sounds fine for extra change here and there, but I'd move my money somewhere cheaper once you hit $5,000
