First Off, What is Mobee?
Mobee is an app available on the Google Play Store and Apple store that rewards you to visit your favorite stores. Earn rewards by completing questionnaires in stores about your experience and products! When you open the Mobee App, you can find thousands of “Missions” across the U.S. and Canada at a variety of retailers.
Each Mission consists of multiple simple questions and photos while you shop, and approved answers earn points for your work. As you progress, you will unlock achievements. You can then redeem your points for gift cards! Now, onto your more advanced questions.
