Vent: WinIt feels like a daily chore and half the time it says I missed it
I know WinIt is optional and it's literally pennies, but I need to vent because it's starting to feel like the most annoying part of InboxDollars.
My routine is pretty consistent: I check the app once in the morning with my coffee, then again at night while I'm cooking (stirring something, waiting for the oven, etc.). Lately there is this maddening pattern where I open WinIt, type the code, it looks like it accepted, and later I notice my streak didn't move or it shows as not redeemed. Other times I swap to another screen for a second (timer, grocery list) and when I come back the app has refreshed and I'm not sure if it actually went through.
It drives me crazy because there is no clear confirmation screen that sticks, and I'm not trying to game anything. I'm literally doing the one thing they want: show up every day and enter the code.
Yes, I know people will say "take a screenshot" or "make sure you're logged in," but I am logged in and I shouldn't have to document a two cent redemption like it's evidence for a trial.
Is anyone else seeing WinIt redemptions not count until you restart the app, or not count at all? If you have a reliable way to confirm it actually credited (other than obsessively checking the ledger), please share. This is such a dumb thing to be annoyed about, but here we are.
