I would give you less of a hard time if you would just the BS. I’d actually be pulling for you. But you can’t seem to figure out that targeting your pitch to uneducated consumers with dubious claims is a bad play that will kill you in the long run. Aug 13-15 taught you NOTHING!

It did teach us a lot and we are altering how we market and things about our business model. But it doesn't change our core beliefs about the market. I'm sorry you aren't able to see that on Twitter.

Another example: your marketing says people can try Griddy “risk free.” So tell me, was Griddy “risk free” for someone who passed up an 8¢ fixed rate plan to join Griddy on August 12th? Just because a consumer can quit Griddy any time does not make Griddy “risk free.”

By risk free we mean we have no deposits, no contracts, or break fees and you can leave anytime unlike most fixed rate plans.

Griddy does require “deposits.” At sign up, customers must provide Griddy with funds in advance that Griddy draws upon. Thereafter, Griddy requires that the funds maintained to be drawn upon be at least $25. Sounds like a deposit to me. What does Griddy do with the interest?

that’s actually an interesting point, griddy charges you when you hit a min. balance, if it’s a big charge like $300, then you slowly pull from that, you are sitting on customer money, are you making interest on it? that would be more than making “just the member fee”

Nope, we make 0 interest off of the money in your account.

So are you saying Griddy holds these funds in non-interest-bearing accounts? I can’t imagine that positive customer account balances aren’t generating interest or other income to someone! If Griddy isn’t the one getting interest or other income from these funds, who gets that $?

Yes, Griddy is holding the money in a non-interest-bearing account. See https://stripe.com/about for more information about how that works.

So far as I can tell, Stripe just facilitates payments, and doesn’t hold the account into which customer payments are made. In other words, I just don’t see what Stripe has to do with the question of whether or not Griddy earns interest on Griddy customers’ positive balances.

It's in a non-interest bearing account. To earn interest on money you usually have to lock it up for some period of time. Since our funds are used and paid out daily we do not keep them in an account that generates interest.
