Streaks Review: Invite Pack After Your First Deposit, and the Seven-Day Card Clock

Open the invite on your iPhone and it goes to the App Store with code EETIXEX attached, so you don't type anything. Sign up, make a deposit, and Streaks gives you a pack. EETIXEX is our code, so we get a pack too once your deposit unlocks yours. The pack waits in the Rewards tab until you open it.

Streaks doesn't publish how much the qualifying deposit is or which pack the invite unlocks; the app's invite and Rewards screens show it. Check that the code is confirmed at sign-up, before you add any money.

Streaks is US-only. You need to be 18 or over, with a personal US phone number and valid government ID, one account per person, held in your own name (terms section 2.1). Streaks only lets you add funds after it verifies you're located in the US, and it ships only to US addresses.

It's an iPhone app (iOS 18 or later) from Rarity Labs, LLC. The App Store rates it 18+ and lists it as containing loot boxes.

Read this before you deposit: money you add to Streaks can only be spent on packs and cards. It's non-refundable, non-transferable and can't be withdrawn (section 5.2). Deposits are final; Streaks refunds a purchase only if it made the error or the law requires it.

The only money you can take out is what you receive from selling cards back. So deposit an amount you're comfortable spending on packs, not an amount you hope to get back.

Each pack pays out one card, picked from available inventory when you open it. Before you buy, Streaks shows the pack's price and statistics such as the chance of each rarity and fair market value range; those figures update in real time as stock changes, and the ranges aren't equally likely. The opening animation is for show and doesn't affect which card you get.

Packs come as metal tins on a Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum ladder, with the pattern stepping up as the price rises. A card is raw (ungraded) unless it's shown in a graded slab, and a raw card you ship goes as-is, with no promise about its condition. Pack purchases are final.

A card can sit in your inventory for seven days at most. Then Streaks sells it back automatically at the fair market value set when you received it (section 4.2), so a card that gains value that week doesn't earn you more. Streaks may send a push or text reminder first and can extend the deadline, for example while you finish identity checks.

Selling back pays the card's full fair market value as pack-purchase credit, and that sell-back money is the part you can withdraw. Streaks sets fair market value with its own method from recent sales, grading and condition, and it can differ from prices you see elsewhere.

To withdraw, pass identity verification through Footprint (government ID plus a live selfie). Then you can take out sell-back money from US$10, up to US$2,000 a day, to a US bank account, PayPal or Venmo; the fee shows before you confirm. Promotional credits can't be withdrawn, and any unused ones are forfeited when you withdraw.

The US$10 minimum decides what a small pull is worth. Sell back a card valued at US$8 and that US$8 waits for more sell-back money before you can take it out; sell back a US$25 card and you can withdraw it straight away, less the displayed fee. Streaks doesn't say whether a card from the invite pack sells back as withdrawable money or as promotional credit; the cash-out screen shows your withdrawable amount.

You can ship any card in your inventory to a US address; Streaks doesn't ship abroad. You pay the shipping fee and any sales tax shown before you confirm, and higher-value cards may need shipping insurance at your cost. Since mid-October you can ship several cards at once without an ID check, and the Streaks+ subscription (US$6.99 to US$49.99 in the App Store) includes free shipping.

Ownership passes to you when the carrier accepts the package, and Streaks isn't liable for loss in transit beyond any insurance. Contact support if no shipping notice arrives within five business days, and report damage within ten days of delivery. If a card is lost before shipping, Streaks credits its fair market value; if it can't ship a card you asked for, it credits the value plus 10% or sends a materially equivalent card.

Streaks is run by Rarity Labs, LLC of San Jose, California, under California law. Disputes start with 60 days of informal resolution, then go to individual arbitration with the American Arbitration Association, with a small-claims option; its liability is capped at the greater of the fees you paid or US$100.

Section 6 of the terms asks you to buy within your means and treat the app as entertainment, not income, and lets you self-suspend your account at any time. Withdraw any balance and sell or ship your cards before deleting an account: anything left at deletion goes to Streaks.

If you're 18 or over, in the US and on an iPhone, the invite pack is a fair bonus on a deposit you were going to make. Keep the deposit small, decide on each card within the seven days and cash out sell-back money once it passes US$10.

Skip it if you're outside the US, on Android, or hoping to turn a deposit back into cash: added funds never come back out. Outcomes are random and paid packs are a game of chance: don't deposit to chase a pull.
