Frequently Asked Questions
Love OnMyWay, but have some questions about
how it works?
Here are some answers to the most common
questions we get…
Q:
How does OnMyWay actually work?
A:
When you sign up for an OnMyWay account, it automatically activates when you are driving at least 10 MPH. All you have to do, is keep your phone locked, and don’t interact with it. It’s that easy!
Q:
What if I’m only a passenger?
A:
It still works exactly the same. If you are in a moving vehicle that is going over 10 MPH, you will earn on every mile that your phone is locked, even if you are just along for the ride.
Q:
I can’t drive without music, or get anywhere without my GPS. Can I still use those?
A:
We understand that these are a big part of the everyday drive. As long as your phone is locked, you can still use them! All you have to do is start them before you start driving. You can start your music from any music streaming app while you are parked and simply go back and forth between songs on your lock screen.
For your GPS, start your route before you start driving and view your route from your lock screen. Remember, as long as your phone is locked, you’re good to go!
Q:
How much can I earn?
A:
You get $.05 for every mile that you drive without using your phone, which is reflected in your Available Cash. there are no limits to the amount of miles you can get paid on, and there is no cap to how much Available Cash you can build up.
Q:
Is there any way I can earn more?
A:
Great question, and the answer is… ABSOLUTELY! The money is in the referrals. You have your own, unique referral code that you can share by copying it from your Settings page, or sending it through the “Refer Friends” button in the app. You will earn $2.00 for each new referral, and $.02 for every mile that they drive without using their phone. Just like with your own miles, there are no limits or restrictions on how much you can earn from your referrals. It really adds up!
Q:
Now that I have some Available Cash, how do I actually get receive my money?
A:
Link your bank account in your OnMyWay Settings (you can also link up to three credit cards). Then you can use your Available Cash at the stores shown for the Featured Offers on the Home Page of the app. Make a purchase at a participating store with any of your linked cards. Within a day or two, your reward will automatically be marked as Pending and will be transferred to your bank account in two weeks.
You can also take advantage of the OnMyWay Marathon Deals, from which you can receive large sums directly to your bank in exchange for various qualifications, such as a certain number of referrals, certain amount of OnMyWay Cash, etc.
Q:
What if I don’t want or have a need for any of the Featured Offers?
A:
We are working every day to add more offers so that we will have a wide variety of stores and services for you to choose from. In the meantime, keep driving safely to build up your Available Cash and keep checking back to see if we’ve added any other offers that fit better to your tastes.
Or, you can always save up for one of the OnMyWay Marathon Deals mentioned above.
Q:
Why do you need my Location and other permissions?
A:
OnMyWay uses your Location to detect when you start driving and to track your drive. If you use iOS, we use your Motion Detection to detect when you begin driving, and your Location Services to track how many miles you drive. If you use Android, we use your Do Not Disturb function to detect when you begin driving and your Location to track how many miles you drive.
