Aven Advisor is a new app that promises to help to track your financial situation. Kind of like the old Mint app, you have to give them your personal info and link up bank accounts/credit cards, and then they offer a unique mix of things:

  • Free weekly credit score (VantageScore 4.0 for me, even though some screenshots show FICO).
  • Find your hidden subscriptions by mining your transactions.
  • Track your home value, neighborhood home prices, and show you nearby house listings.
  • Get a free lien report on your property.
  • Track your bank balances, brokerage balances, and credit card debt.
  • Track the value of your car.
  • Shows you nearby Facebook Marketplace listing for cars and other random things.

So why give them your data? Well, if you are a homeowner with a good credit (700+), they will give you $5 in Starbucks credit once every week. You have to manually open the app and tap the link on every Monday (so they know you’re actively using it), but I’ve successfully gotten my credit. Loads right onto my Starbucks app, see screenshot below.

Join at Aven.com/advisor (remember, only homeowners get the Starbucks offer). You can also get an additional one-time $5 cash bonus with my referral code JP25DJVG7K. Thanks if you use it. You’ll have to link a bank account via Plaid to transfer the $5 into your account.

  1. I downloaded the app. It will ask a lot of personal information, including the last four of your SSN, DOB, home address, signature, etc. I delete the app without completing the whole process. I just don’t feel comfortable.

    • Perfectly understandable. That’s why they have to compensate folks to go through with it. 🙂 They are like Credit Karma, etc. and need that to access your credit report.

  2. I opened with your referral and see the offer for the GC but How do you actually access the $5 gift card after clicking the link?

    • I forget exactly, but you should have $5 to “Redeem” somewhere on the app and you’ll have to link a bank account using Plaid to redeem it. I got mine without issue.

  3. Joseph Palmieri says

    The address dropdown for my address is not being accepted by the app. The dropdown address is showing a null within it & I can’t get passed this page. If possible, please tell me who I can contact about this problem.

  4. You didn’t mention they require uploading photo id. That’s a bit much for $5 starbucks!

  5. what if they get hacked! not worth it to me.

  6. Worked perfectly for my wife. Enjoy the $5.

  7. Does the $5 roll over every week And keep adding up if it’s not used?

    • You have to manually check in on the app every Monday, and they’ll send you a $5 gift card via Cashstar. You can just transfer it immediately to your existing Starbucks app if you want and not use it, just like any gift card.

  8. Tried to sign up but was unable to take a pix of my driver’s license with their app, so could not complete enrollment. Any thoughts? Thanks.
