@ctujackbauer said in AVEN App Ending Free $5 Weekly Starbucks/Dunkin Gift Cards in 6 weeks per APP Pop Up Notice:
Also, there’s already a class action lawsuit against Aven:

Yes, that was based around some antics with their credit card which I was very careful never to click on any offers for inside their app. I didn’t sign up for that card and there’s no info on my credit reports. I do get notified of ‘hard pulls’. And I signed up for AVEN in early May '25, after that Class Action was annouced. So I think I’m ok there.
I don’t think I did give plaid permission, but I’ll double check through my bank and have their permissions revoked if they are on there.
Thanks for the heads up on all this, I’ll be sure to protect myself to the greatest degree possible.
@ctujackbauer update: I was able to log in to my bank info and revoke the Plaid to Aven permission from there. I also have PLAID permission for Venmo, but that I’m keeping.
