FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Broke & Buzzed?

It's a 21+ app that shows you the cheapest alcohol deals at participating stores and bars near you, with directions to the store and rewards for walking in. It's a discovery tool — not a delivery, checkout, or payment app.

Does the app sell or deliver alcohol?

No. We never sell, deliver, or transport alcohol, and there are no in-app purchases. You buy at the physical store. The app just helps you find the deal and get there.

Is it free?

Yes — free to download and use. You never pay us. Participating stores pay us to be on the platform.

Do I need an account?

You can browse deals without one. You'll sign in (with Apple or email) to earn and spend Buzz Points and to redeem deals.

What are Buzz Points?

Rewards you earn for verified store visits. Redeem a deal in-store, show a QR code the store confirms, and points post to your account. Spend them on merch, store perks, and vouchers.

How does the app know where the deals are?

It uses your location to rank deals by how close each store is, and to confirm you're actually at the store when you redeem. You can also switch to another participating market to browse deals elsewhere.

Where is Broke & Buzzed available?

We're starting in the University of Rhode Island area and expanding market by market. If your area isn't live yet, it's coming.

I own a store or bar — how do I get listed?

Head to For stores or email officialbrokeandbuzzed@gmail.com.

How do you handle my data?

Your precise location is used only to sort deals by distance and verify in-store redemptions. We don't sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Do I have to be 21?

Yes. Broke & Buzzed is strictly for adults 21 and older, and the app enforces an age gate before showing any content.
