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

  1. Access Rewards Settings

    • Open the app and navigate to the Rewards Settings in the Family Tab.
  2. Set the Conversion Rate

    • Decide how many S’mores Points equal one dollar (e.g., 100 points = $1). This rate can be customized to match your family’s reward system.
  3. Define Cash-Out Rules

    • Set conditions like a minimum point threshold for cash-out. For example, kids can only cash out if they’ve earned at least 500 points.
  4. Educate Your Kids

    • Explain how Cash-Out works and track their progress in the My Wallet section of their profile.

3. How Kids Use Cash-Out

  • Kids accumulate points by completing chores, achieving goals, or displaying good behavior.
  • Once they reach the minimum threshold, they can request to cash out their points.
  • Parents approve the request, and the equivalent cash value is transferred via the family’s chosen method.

Why Cash-Out Is a Game-Changer

  1. Teach Financial Responsibility

    • Kids learn the value of hard work and how to manage money through tangible rewards.
  2. Encourage Savings Habits
