The updated terms expand the arbitration clause to explicitly state that users agree to resolve 'most disputes by arbitration on an individual basis, a class action waiver, and a jury trial waiver.' The terms note that arbitration involves 'less discovery and appellate review than in court.' Additionally, Venmo's cash back rewards program has been restructured with specific tiered thresholds: users earn 1% baseline cash back, 2% if they spend at least $250 in a month, and 5% if they spend at least $1,500 in a month. Rewards are only applied to qualifying transactions with 'Bundle merchants' and exclude cash advances, gambling, wire transfers, cryptocurrency purchases, and certain financial institution transactions. If you return a purchase or receive a refund after earning cash back, Venmo states it may debit or withhold rewards to offset the amount. You must close your account before any changes become effective if you do not wish to be bound by them.
