When you don't receive seeds for a climate-friendly purchase, it's often because we haven't yet rated the brand, the purchase was miscategorized, or there's a discrepancy with the timing of your card connection. There's more information in the FAQs on the Rewards page in the app.


If you believe you’ve made a purchase that should be counted as low-emissions by Commons, you can either recategorize the transaction or send us feedback about it. To edit a transaction, tap on any transaction from the Footprint tab to update the category. Our team will periodically review any edited purchases for accuracy.

We take data privacy and security very seriously. Commons uses best-in-class, bank-level security and does not save any sensitive information on our servers. Commons uses Plaid to connect to your card(s). Plaid is an API trusted by financial companies like Venmo, Mint, and Paypal for its high security and banking support. When you connect your card(s) to Commons using Plaid, we cannot (and will not) charge your account, withdraw money, or create a transaction on the account in any way. We never sell your data. Read more in our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

Everything we buy requires energy and resources to produce, and our spending is one of the most accurate indicators of our emissions. When you connect a card, you’ll get the real-time footprint of your purchases and start earning for climate-friendly purchases. For the most accurate footprint and the most opportunities to earn, connect all the credit or debit cards you spend money on. There is no fee for connecting cards.

Earn rewards as you build your sustainable lifestyle in Commons. You’ll earn for every climate-friendly purchase, completed climate action, collective challenge completion, achievement badge, and other milestones in your sustainability journey.

Commons determines a company’s sustainability based on its capacity to measurably lower global emissions. Earn rewards for purchases at inherently low-carbon companies (like public transit or thrift stores) or brands that our team has rated Good or Best. You’ll see sustainable purchases highlighted in blue on the Progress tab in the app.
