Kickstarter Missions are a set of special tasks designed to help new users earn their first $0.50 reward quickly and easily. Think of them as your guided tour to the Mode Earn App. This article walks through how they work, what you earn, and common questions.
Why Kickstarter Missions matter
- Fast first reward. Get to your first redemption within 24 hours of signing up.
- Learn the app. Missions walk you through earning and redeeming right away.
- Unlock extra benefits. Complete them to unlock a free 1-week trial of Mode Earn Club (MEC).
How Kickstarter Missions work
Finding your missions
After signing up, look for a banner with a 24-hour timer on your Home screen. Tap the banner to view your available tasks.
Types of tasks
Missions are simple and beginner-friendly — typically involving exploring core features of the app (open the Music tab, try an offer, etc.). A clear list appears when you tap the mission banner.
The 24-hour window
You have 24 hours from signup to complete the missions. The timer on the banner shows how much time you have left. If you miss the window, you don’t lose your account — but the bonus benefits tied to completing missions within 24 hours no longer apply.
Rewards and redemption
Completing missions
- Finish all tasks to unlock a $0.50 reward.
- A Redeem Now button appears once you’re eligible.
Not enough points?
Don’t worry — Mode tops up your points automatically so you can redeem your first $0.50.
Reward options for Kickstarter Missions
Your first redemption options are:
- Prepaid Mastercard
- PayPal
These two options are chosen because they’re the fastest and easiest to redeem for a new user. All other reward options unlock after your first redemption (or when the 24-hour timer expires, whichever comes first).
After redemption
- You unlock a free 1-week trial of Mode Earn Club.
- The Kickstarter banner is replaced by Daily Missions.
- The 24-hour timer disappears.
