Fold app has been pretty glitch free for me.

Bought cold wallet twice with their coinkite gift card. Got like 10 percents sats back.

Lolli works sort of ok, but I can only withdraw after my balance totals $15. I’ve been collecting sats for over a year and the price rise in that period is what got me to $7.

Stacker News has been the best when it comes to collecting sats, but the content itself is rewarding.

The other apps are purely about collecting a few sats. SN is just fun to be on.

I've also been doing pretty well with Fold and I'm still in the process of convincing my wife to let me pay more of our bills with it, so it should be even better in the future.

Might give them another look. How much you pay per month?

Fold app has been money for me. Gone are the glory days of 2-5+% rewards back in 2021 but still worth the fee.

For me the key is using Citicards (Double Cash 2% flat and Costco Visa 3% restaurants+travel, 4% gas) -> Pay using Paypal bill pay giving me an extra 0.5% sats on top. Used to be 1% but still worth it- nice to get $10 in sats on a $2k credit card bill.

It also works I believe with Amazon (have not tried) and a few other credit cards but I have not been able to get Paypal to work with my Chase cards.

I also use it for rent (net positive after $4.95 debit card fee) and 4 times a year to pay my estimated quarterly taxes ($2.14 fee to make a $7k payment).

Part of the fun of the bull run up has been seeing the USD worth of the sats I've stacked on Fold go skyrocketing.

...

SN on the other hand is a sat loser for me. I don't comment as much as I'm here to spend sats freely to stimulate the ecosystem and community.

Super helpful. Thank you! I’m all about 2% citi double cash and using that cash back to stack some serious sats.

I didn't realize I could do that. Setting that up is next on my list.

Not life changing money obviously and some would argue not even worth the time but it’s a fun little hobby to stack sats here and there and get an extra 0.5% discount on life purchases.

At sat-cent parity, each of those rewards will be hundreds of dollars.

Glad that my humble post may help you step up your sat accumulation game

Thanks for sharing your processes. I’m not based in the US, so I cannot take advantage of the things you mentioned. But just reading how circular your system is inspired me

$10 for Spin+, which I more than break even on. You can use it for free, though, there just aren't as many perks.

Fun is best. It is a natural motivator for us to stay here haha

For me, I think the fun stems from how I will definitely learn something new from Stackers every day. That increase in knowledge is empowering (and may be worth more than the sats themselves)
