NYC Tech Week Sprint.
Seventy seats. Two weeks. A side event during NYC Tech Week. Use Ping on your real spending. Every redeemed ping during the event earns $1 cash, top performers and crews win bigger.
What you'll do
- Use Ping on your everyday spending whether it's grabbing coffee, lunch, bars, rideshare, anywhere you'd already be paying.
- Every successfully redeemed ping earns you $1 in real cash that will be rewarded at the end of each week.
- Start with $30 in test credits to fund your pings throughout the two weeks.
- Two short feedback calls with the team across the two weeks. We love to hear new insight!
How it runs
How you earn
Prizes (Per Week)
Awarded weekly across two leaderboards. Yours, and the crew your inviter is building. All redeemed pings will earn $1 regardless of placement in leaderboard.
Ground rules
- A ping counts as redeemed only when you're physically at the venue - geo-scoped to prevent couch pinging.
- A short dwell at the venue is required before a ping is eligible. Drive-bys don't count.
- The same venue can only be pinged a couple times per day, with a cool-down between attempts.
- Daily redemption is capped to keep behavior realistic. You won't hit the cap through normal usage.
The fine print
- You'll need an iPhone capable of running TestFlight and location services enabled for the geo-verification.
- You must be in or near New York and 18+ during the event window.
- Genuinely visit venues to earn. Any attempts to spoof locations or game the app will forfeit your prizes and your seat.
