If you received an email from Benny, you’re not alone. The Benny app is expected to shut down on April 15, 2026.

This is unfortunate news for many SNAP households. Benny helped families across the US find savings, rewards, and ways to stretch their grocery budgets. When a tool people love goes away, it raises a simple question: are there other ways to save on groceries? 

How the Forage app can help

The Forage App is here to help you continue finding savings, rewards, and critical information to make  grocery shopping as affordable and convenient as possible.

Forage is the official payments partner of retailers and platforms like Family Dollar, Dollar General, ALDI, 7-Eleven, DoorDash and Uber, and is trusted by millions of SNAP users.

The Forage app makes shopping for groceries simpler, more accessible, and more rewarding for low-income Americans: 

• Find savings and earn rewards on groceries 

• Access more ways to shop: Connect to a growing network of retailers and platforms that accept SNAP.

• Check your EBT balance and shop with confidence. Avoid surprises and make informed choices at checkout.

We’ve also seen strong adoption from families across the country, with app ratings currently averaging 4.8 on the Apple App Store and 4.6 on Google Play Android store. Plus, Forage provides a secure experience – we never ask for sensitive information like social security numbers, birth dates, etc.

Earn double rewards for the first week of April

This week, April 1-7, Forage will be doubling the rewards that Forage app users can earn on qualifying grocery purchases. This limited-time offer is open to all users of the Forage app who provide proof of eligible purchases.

Here are the details:

• All Forage app users are eligible to receive 5% rewards on the qualifying grocery receipt they upload in the app, up to $3 total.

• From Apr 1, 2026 to 11:59 PM (ET) Apr 7, 2026, users are eligible to earn double our preexisting reward rates on qualifying actions, such as uploading a valid grocery receipt or making an eligible purchase at a grocery store that qualifies for Receiptless rewards.

Rewards are provided by Forage and are not part of the SNAP program nor issued using SNAP benefits. For full information on how Forage rewards work, refer to our Rewards Terms and Terms of Use.

The bottom line

• Benny helped many families. That’s real, and it matters.

• While the Benny app will soon be unavailable, you can use the Forage app to find savings on groceries and check your EBT balance for free.
