What is RoadRewards?

The Road Rewards app is a safe driving program offered by Plymouth Rock that rewards safe driving habits. The app measures various driving behaviors such as speeding, braking, acceleration, cornering, and distracted driving to determine how safely you are driving. The safer you drive, the more points you earn, which can be redeemed for rewards such as gift cards, fuel rewards, movie tickets, and more.

Great app

This is a great incentive app. Now that I’ve completed all of the achievements, point accumulate slower. Sometimes I don’t even get points from the times that I drive, even when it’s multiple times a day. That’s why I gave the 4 rating. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalled and that hasn’t worked. I’ve had the same points for days now and I’ve driven at least 2 times maybe 3 in a day.

Improved my NYC to NJ experience

I first scored one star midtown NYC to North NJ. Last go-round 4 stars. I drove slower in the city. But! NYC has quick yellows. A hard braking event on West street dropped me a star. Hard braking is dangerous. Yes. I was doing 25mph. Still. Give this it to your kids. Download it on their phone. Or yourself. Like I did, to improve my motoring skill.

3 stars. What info am I giving a private company? Lol.

It’s great when it works but often bugs out

I love to get the gift cards when it works but it is glitchy most of the time. I have had several times where it’s randomly stopped recording my trips for up to a month without my realizing. I’ve done everything from uninstalling to restarting my phone, but it never seems to stick and sometimes those don’t do anything.

Good rewards

RoadRewards provides good rewards for safe driving but RoadRewards itself is glitchy and does not update the points you earned consistently, as you get then. It seems to take hours/days most times to update the points. I got an email to explaining that lots of ppl had the problem I think it’s RoadRewards though that needs tweaking not phone settings bc I’ve done all they suggested.

Buggy App

It used to work okay with minor issues, but since December last year something changed and now it does not record my driving. I have uninstalled and reinstalled RoadRewards , tried to update iOS and reboot my phone. Still it does not record anything. Nowadays all it says is “Start driving….” although I drive pretty much every day.

Used to get WAY more points

For some unknown reason RoadRewards has drastically reduced the rate at which it gives you points. I earned more during 3 months of the lockdown than I have in the last year driving much more. I am I. Fact driving more than before the pandemic and back then RoadRewards more accurately paid out points. Fix it Plymouth Rock!

Rewards!

My family loves the rewards for good driving and the very clear and precise info provided in RoadRewards. We get great gift rewards every few weeks, with many choices. Great idea.


By


No points ever earned

At this point I have had fifteen trips and not a single point of rewarded. I did not download RoadRewards just for it to track my driving, I’m expecting rewards. Highly disappointed and so far just a waste of battery life


By


Decent

App is decent but the whole idea is to get points and be rewarded for your drives. I have been through 10 drives so far with no points.


By


This app is great

How do I use all my points towards one reward? iTunes for instance I don’t want 20 different gift card numbers..

I think the only problem I’ve had is that it claims I use my phone a lot but what I’m actually doing as using a wireless headset to make phone calls, which is legal in Massachusetts.. but yet my score keeps going down because of that. Mostly the entire time my phone is on a mount on my dashboard not being touched.

Definitely keeps me honest on the road, because I want to earn those points so I can get those rewards!

Unrealistic and not accurate

I’ve been using RoadRewards for almost a year and it seems the only way to score well is to not use your phone at all which is unfair when used for navigation and music. Even if you set and go, it still counts it as phone activity. Also it seems the only way to get the best score is to drive perfectly straight and not make any turns. It does not account for speed, velocity and degree of turn based on environmental factors. I would say overall the sensitivity to the ratings to score well are too severe and unrealistic.

Also I know this is also to collect data from me such as where I go to which can be sold to other companies. Though I do appreciate the Amazon gift cards.


By


Useful

I like the fact when I’m driving with my daughter, it shows I lost points because she’s a speed racer, accelerates too fast & hard barker. Now she can’t say I’m not right! ☺️
I like the rewards offered -wish there were few more like target, Walmart etc


By


Disappointed

I’m disappointed in RoadRewards . It is assured that RoadRewards knows when you are a passenger vs. driver and sadly, it does not.

It’s been rating multiple trips where I am a passenger (I travel for work a decent amount and utilize Uber when traveling) so my personal rating is going down significantly.

I’ll keep trying it for the next few weeks but doubt I’ll end up enjoying any rewards.

Phone battery issues

I used RoadRewards for about a month and really enjoyed it and it’s functionality until I realized it was the culprit of my almost new iPhone battery draining soo quickly. Due to that I deleted RoadRewards .


By


questionable

i love the idea of RoadRewards, everything works out great except for the lack of recording my drives automatically. i check in on RoadRewards and it says i haven’t recorded a single drive in 2 weeks but it simply won’t track my driving anymore. have had to delete and reinstall twice now but this keeps happening and i’m getting fed up with it.


By


No brainer

Getting rewards for driving safely is an easy decision. Sign me up


By


Broken since update

Ironically in my highest driving weeks all year, it no longer tracks driving. Customer support seems to have vanished as well.


By


Stops Rewarding Points

RoadRewards has stopped rewarding points though there had been no changes on my end. No response from emails through RoadRewards . Pretty useless


By


Penalizes you for using public transportation.

Nice idea but it can’t tell difference between me driving and a straight line above ground portion of my high speed rail commute. Will have to delete.


By


Very inaccurate speed reporting

App says I was speeding for most of my commute when I was going obnoxiously slowly (to the point of almost being a danger on the highway). Deleted!


By


4-stars

Only just downloaded RoadRewards , but it looks good!


By


Inaccurate measures

Evasive and inaccurate measures aiming to raise your insurance. Do not share your driving data!!!


By


Where’s my reward?

I used points for a reward and the email with the code never came through! Not even in my spam folder.


By

Too long; didn't read: This app is a complete waste of time and your phone's battery. Support is beyond useless. I have been using this app for about a week and been logging trips (mostly my daily commute) with no issue or stated error within the app with the promise of accruing rewards points for maintaining a certain score (mine is 99 out of 100 over the last week, minimum 40 to accrue points per the app FAQ). Points are supposed to update Monday, Thursday, and Saturday before midnight. I have passed at least 3 checkpoints by which points should have accrued, and my balance remains at zero. So, I reached out to support through the app asking why I hadn't received any points yet and this was our conversation: - Support Team: I apologize that you are encountering problems with not all of your trips recording/points aren't updating. Often this is because the phone is in low battery or power saving mode, or location services are not currently enabled. My response: A few problems here - I reviewed all the app permissions and confirmed that I had covered everything that Plymouth Rock was requesting. Also, the app shows that all of my trips are recorded without any kind of known error, and even if there are issues where "low battery mode" was a problem, I have trips recorded in the morning when I do my daily commute and my battery is still full for the day. I reiterated this to their support email and asked that they advise why I have not received any points updates and received the following response: - Support Team: Points accrue Monday, Thursday, and Saturdays before midnight. Thank you! I initiated this entire conversation on 2/14, my first trip was recorded on 2/9 and I had 4 recorded trips by 5 pm on 2/10. 2/9 should have recorded points by midnight as that was a Thursday, but if they were talking Wednesday into Thursday, then I still should have had a balance update on 2/9 into 2/10 or 2/10 into 2/11. Nothing. By this point support is being less than helpful. I responded per my original email, I have been using the app for about a week and I'm not receiving any points balances. Support is not helping and I asked to talk to someone else. Instead of someone else, I just get another email: - Support Team: Upon reviewing your account I can see that trips that recorded on 2/10, 2/12 and 2/13 were all recorded while being in low battery mode and when that is the case those trips will not successfully record. The points you earn is not based on how many trips you take, but rather the overall score of your trips. There are instances where a trip here and there can be missed, but that doesn't affect the ability to earn points as it comes from the overall score. So now this is where the problem is. The app itself will say that "low battery mode" is less than 10% battery life, but trips record shortly after a trip ends. It's not instant recording, but lets say within 15 minutes. On 2/10, 2/12, and 2/13, I had trips record in the app in the 8 am or 9 am hours when my battery is above 80% for the day. However, support will just claim that you were in low battery mode, so sorry, you get nothing. I allow that there's a possibility that data doesn't record until some arbitrary point during the day, such as midnight, and if your phone battery is low then it doesn't record, but the app doesn't say that anywhere. In fact, you will get a push notification at the time the app states it's recording your trips. All of this is to say that this app is a huge waste of time and support is beyond useless. They will exclude your trips for arbitrary and unexplained reasons, and the only thing you end up doing is giving a ton of driving data to your insurance company and as a kicker, having an app that's always running and killing your phone's battery life. Don't bother with this. Just an exercise in frustration.
