Great cash bonus... if you check it. In the past I had 4 bonus that I didn't received because they expired by themselves because CCGenius had not received the confirmation from the card/bank issuer... See more

$150 to get a card.
Fantastic experience as it was the last time I applied. I applied for the Porter MasterCard Elite, zero annual fee for the first year and got $150 on top of that. That's essentially getting pay a $150 to have the card for the first year. A total win.

Fairly easy
Fairly easy, a bit of a confusing account and dashboard, but received my payment fairly smoothly.

I'm very satisfied with my experience!
I applied for a credit card through CreditcardGenius and got paid $120 for it. They are trustworthy and reliable. I'm very satisfied with them! Highly recommend!

Tangerine MC scam
Been waiting since November 18 of 2025 for a tangerine MasterCard $120 cash promo. All they did was back and forth giving me notes of delays due to the tangerine marketing team department.
I'm starting to feel that this is not the right place to apply for any promotional credit cards in the future. Why can companies be legit and do their job in a timely manner? Instead of telling people lies

Reply from creditcardGenius
Hello,
Sorry to hear that it's taking longer than expected to receive your GeniusCash.
We deliver GeniusCash to most customers within 30 days of their application date by automatically receiving confirmation from the bank that the application for the Credit Card has been approved and that it meets all the eligibility criteria for GeniusCash.
Sometimes we don't receive this confirmation from the bank automatically, and a manual investigation is required. To do this, we send your application details directly to the bank. There are various things that the bank and/or the affiliate network needs to validate such as approval status, that you're a first time cardholder, that the application was started from our site, etc. Unfortunately, the manual investigation time does depend on the bank and it is outside of our control.
We're working with Tangerine's affiliate marketing team directly, and we will update your ticket as soon as we receive confirmation from them.
We apologize for this delay and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Every bit of feedback helps us improve our processes to serve our customers better.

I found a great credit card I was…
I found a great credit card I was interested in using their helpful indexes. I then applied through their link and was able to easily get my GenuisCash deposited to my account within two weeks of my application. I initiated a support ticket and it was resolved within a few days with no issue. Really helpful service and a great system!

Amazing from start to end
Amazing from start to end, received the etransfer 3 days after the application was approved. On another note still waiting for the credit card to arrive to the branch!!! I will defiantly be using creditcardGenius in the future again

Simple and quick process
The approval process only takes a few minutes, so you don’t have to wait days or weeks to know if your application is approved. A physical card was received within 2 weeks after the online application, and the promo rebate followed shortly after via e-transfer. The whole process went smoothly with no follow up required. I also like the comparison tools on the website
