Teach Financial Literacy with Real Rewards
Chores aren’t just about keeping the house running; they’re an opportunity to teach life skills. S’moresUp’s Cash-Out feature takes this a step further by letting your kids convert their S’mores Points into real money. It’s a practical, exciting way to reward their hard work while introducing them to the basics of financial literacy.
Whether they’re saving up for a big purchase or learning to budget their spending, Cash-Out helps kids see the real-world value of their efforts.
How to Set Up and Use the Cash-Out Feature
1. What Is Cash-Out?
Cash-Out allows your kids to exchange their S’mores Points for real money. Parents control the process by setting a custom conversion rate and cash-out rules, ensuring it fits your family’s goals.
2. Steps to Enable Cash-Out
-
Access Rewards Settings
- Open the app and navigate to the Rewards Settings in the Family Tab.

Educate Your Kids

3. How Kids Use Cash-Out
