Rewards
You choose where your wait goes.
Dash pays you in rewards, not cash-per-wait. Your balance builds while AI works, then you send it wherever you like — give it away, grow it, or spend it.
Charity payouts are live at launch. Every other reward is planned — each one subject to partner availability as integrations land.
Donate to charity
SPCA, Trees That Count, Foodbank NZ — your wait does good.
KiwiSaver / investing
Drip your earnings into your future (e.g. Sharesies).
Airpoints
For Air NZ contexts — earn Airpoints Dollars as you wait.
Everyday Rewards
Spend on groceries & fuel across Woolworths / BP.
Power-bill credit
Money straight off your power bill, via power-company partners.
Bank perk
Fees or premiums reduced, via banking / insurance partners.
Cash
Withdraw once you pass a threshold. KYC at withdrawal; may be taxable.
How payout actually works
Accrue. Then redeem.
It accrues
Every qualifying wait adds a few cents to your Dash balance, server-side. No money moves per wait — that keeps it honest and fee-free.
You redeem at a threshold
Pick a destination from the ladder. Non-cash rewards (points, KiwiSaver, charity) route via partners with no card fees and, per NZ guidance, generally aren’t taxable.
Cash is the top of the ladder
Cash opens only above a sensible minimum (NZ$10–20), batched, KYC at withdrawal. Cash may be taxable income — we’ll show a note.
Why not cash per wait? Card rails charge a fixed fee per transaction and need every recipient KYC-verified — paying a few cents per wait is impossible. So Dash is a ledger, not a payments firehose: it builds, you redeem.
Questions, answered straight.
Is it really free?
Yes. You opt in, a single sponsored line shows while you’d be waiting anyway, and the value accrues to you. No purchase required.
Do I pay tax on it?
Points and non-cash rewards from activity generally aren’t taxable in NZ. Cash withdrawals may be — we show a note and link to the terms. Get your own advice if unsure.
What’s the minimum?
Non-cash rewards redeem from NZ$5. Cash (coming soon) opens higher, around NZ$10–20, batched.
How long until I see it?
Points and charity are the fast lane. Some partner rails settle in a weekly batch at first while integrations mature.
