If your laundromat uses pay range you can use paze to get free laundry using the 10 buck back promo.
Frames an opportunistic consumer behavior as a clever, scalable 'dope' hack with outsized value generation ($200), implying systemic accessibility and reward without acknowledging constraints, risk, or platform response.
View original on reddit.comOverview
A Reddit user describes exploiting a promotional loophole in the Paze payment platform to accumulate $10 daily credits—redeemable at laundromats and food vendors—by repeatedly adding funds to a Pay Range account, resulting in $200 of free services across two qualifying credit cards.
TL;DR
- User exploits Paze's $10/day top-up mechanic to generate $200 in free laundry/food credits
- No evidence of platform intent, policy violation, or systemic vulnerability is provided
