Pei is Dead

Pei is dead. As in the cash back app that allowed you to earn Bitcoin. Not Prince Edward Island.

Here’s a screenshot of an email I received

Goodbye, @get_pei, it was nice knowing you.

(also, CC @Drofcredit - I thought you might want to let your readers know. Pei seems to have died; see the reviews on the Google Play store) pic.twitter.com/IMHREejHVO

Pei will be winding down Bitcoin Wallet functionality on December 31, 2021.

Here’s what this means for you:

If you are currently holding a bitcoin balance on Pei, you will have until December 26, 2021 to sell or withdraw your Bitcoin holdings from the platform.

After December 26, if you still are holding a balance, we will attempt to sell your balance and return it to a bank account on file.

Thank you for using Pei.
Sincerely,
The Pei Team

If you check out the reviews on Google Play you’ll see the app hasn’t been working for a few months now. Heck, it even hasn’t been working on the Apple App Store.

Some people have been successful loading it on an older version of Android; I did get it to load through the emulator provided with Android Studio, but I couldn’t withdraw.

I did deposit $21 bucks into their interest account. We’ll see if I end up getting anything back.

Remember, folks: not your keys, not your coins - and never invest speculate more than you’re willing to lose!
