# What are "round ups"?

A "round up" is the term we use to describe the spare change captured from automatically rounding up your transactions to the next dollar

Rounding up to the next dollar amount doesn't require any additional action from you once you link an eligible payment card, it is done automatically with each qualified transaction. For example, if you spend $17.82 at a restaurant with your card, we will automatically add 18 cents to your purchase.

Roundups are then accumulated over the month and 50% of the total sum of that accumulated change is allocated toward the prize pool, with the other 50% allocated toward a charitable contribution on the last day of the month.
