This is why there are so <\/em>many companies out there that promise they'll pay you for things like being a brand ambassador or advertising on their behalf.<\/p>\n One of these companies is Stickr.co, a company that says you can earn free gift cards and cash in exchange for placing a decal on your car to promote different companies.<\/p>\n This is similar to car wrapping companies like Carvertise<\/a> and Wrapify, but is Stickr legit or a scam?<\/p>\n I signed up and explored Stickr.co to find out the truth. And as you're going to find in this Stickr.co review, you're definitely best to steer clear of this company.<\/p>\n Let's dive into how Stickr.co works and what some better options are.<\/p>\n Want to actually earn extra income? Checkout<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Stickr.co is a car advertising company that claims you can earn upwards of $2,300 in free cash<\/a> and gift cards<\/a> every year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The way Stickr.co works is pretty simple: you agree to place decals on your car to advertise different Stickr.co clients and earn gift cards or cash in exchange.<\/p>\n Stickr.co is available in all 50 U.S. states. Additionally, the website states that all decals are see-thru and made from high quality material. This is much less obtrusive than many car wrapping gigs that require wrapping your entire vehicle in an advertisement.<\/p>\n But, as we're going to explore, there are some pretty major red flags with this company that I think warrant thinking twice.<\/p>\n No, Stickr isn't legit because it charges a monthly fee for you to advertise on your car and also has a track record of never paying drivers. Plus, there's an overwhelming amount of negative reviews online, and many other drivers claim it's a scam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I could sign up for Stickr.co very easily, and I got car wrapping opportunities right away.<\/p>\n But I think paying $9.99 per month for the membership is a rip off. And I really think all the negative reviews from other drivers are concerning.<\/p>\n Plus, there are so <\/em>many higher-paying apps<\/a> out there and apps that pay you real money<\/a> without requiring you to spend money. Just take a look at any gig economy job like Uber Eats<\/a> or Amazon Flex<\/a> if you want an example.<\/p>\n If you want to try making money with Stickr.co, the process is similar to other car advertising gigs.<\/p>\n I created an account on Stickr, and the process took me a few minutes to complete a driver application. Here's how the entire process works<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Again, I am pretty skeptical after researching this company and reading other Stickr.co reviews, but let's explain how each step works for users.<\/p>\n The first step to getting started with Stickr.co is to enter your Zip code.<\/p>\n I think this is just to check if you live in the U.S. and near a major city since Stickr.co states its available in all 50 states.<\/p>\n In any case, once you complete this short task, you're taken to a new portal where you begin the driver application process.<\/p>\n Once you enter your Zip code, you have to complete a short questionnaire about your driving habits and insurance policy.<\/p>\n Specifically, Stickr.co asks potential drivers<\/strong>:<\/p>\n That's it: that is the entire <\/em>Stickr.co driver application process.<\/p>\n I find it very weird that it doesn't ask you more in-depth questions like Carvertise does, like if you commute to work, drive on highways, or similar questions to gauge your driving habits.<\/p>\n In any case, that's all there is to the application process. It took me about 2 minutes to complete my Stickr profile, so it's a very speedy process.<\/p>\n Once you complete your driver application process, Stickr.co double-checks that you're okay with advertising on your vehicle.<\/p>\n A popup also asks if you understand that “shipping is free, though some campaigns may require a deposit to ensure decal installation.”<\/p>\n This is frankly hilarious and where Stickr.co becomes somewhat questionable, but bear with me as we get through this review.<\/p>\n Once you select ‘Okay,” you can view a list of available car advertising gigs on your Stickr.co dashboard.<\/p>\n On my dashboard, I see advertising gigs for companies like:<\/p>\n Each campaign displays its monthly compensation, how many slots are open, and the campaign length.<\/p>\n Now, if you see a campaign you want, you can click “Join Campaign,” and that's where things get very confusing.<\/p>\n As a general rule of thumb, if an advertising gig ever asks you to pay to advertise the product, you're being scammed.<\/p>\n I mean, just think about it: what sort of job asks you to pay to be a salesperson?<\/strong><\/p>\n This all sounds quite MLM if you ask me, and this is where I have a problem with Stickr.co.<\/p>\n Once you click a campaign to join, you're directed to a new screen where you enter your shipping and billing information.<\/p>\n But, the catch is that you have to pay a $9.99 monthly Stickr.co membership fee to be eligible to put the decal on your car<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Stickr.co claims they reimburse this $9.99 monthly fee if you send in a photo of your decal, but again, an advertising gig should never <\/em>ask you for payments to advertise something in the first place.<\/p>\n According to Stickr.co, you can get free cash<\/a> and gift cards every month you send in a photo and verify that the decal is on your car.<\/p>\n Cash is sent via PayPal or direct deposit, although in the campaign I tried entering, it didn't mention exactly how much cash I would earn, just that I would earn a $50 gift card to restaurants in my area.”<\/p>\n The decal apparently arrives within 3-7 days, so theoretically, this means you'd be out $9.99 for about a week until you verify your decal and get reimbursed. I decided against paying for my decal because I think Stickr is a scam.<\/p>\n Stickr.co states you can earn up to $2,300 per year that you advertise with car decals. The company also states it pays out with PayPal cash<\/a>, direct deposit, or free gift cards to restaurants in your area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n But, here's another catch: Stickr.co mostly pays out with Restaurant.com gift cards.<\/p>\n For example, your Restaurant.com gift card might require spending $75 at a restaurant to get $25; hardly the same thing as a straight up gift card.<\/p>\n Additionally, if you don't live in an area with any Restaurant.com partners (which include less-popular chains that are hard to find anyway), you're basically out of luck.<\/p>\n And, we haven't even talked about if Stickr.co is legit or a scam yet or what users of this company have said online, so that's another can of worms to get into.<\/p>\n So, in a nutshell, Stickr.co claims it pays up to $2,300 per year for drivers, but I don't think this is entirely accurate or what you should expect for earnings.<\/p>\n Yes, Stickr is a scam since it charges members monthly fees to access car wrapping gigs but has a track record of not paying drivers. And the sheer number of negative reviews and complaints makes me think that this company is a scam as well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n There are also so many ways to make money without paying anything<\/a>, or low-cost side hustles<\/a> you can start. So, you should be cautious of any gig that requires paying membership fees to just join the platform.<\/p>\n After creating a Stickr account and exploring its offers, I don't think the company is worth using. In fact, I think it's a bit of a scam.<\/p>\n That said, I always think it's a good idea to check out other reviews when you're considering a side hustle idea<\/a>. And thankfully, there are a lot of other Stickr.co reviews that explain what's really going on here.<\/p>\n\n
