How to Use Pulled Coffee: Complete Beginner Guide

Pulled Coffee takes about 10 seconds per check-in once you know the flow. This guide walks you through everything: setup, first check-in, challenge enrollment, and the path to your first payout.

Step 1: Sign up and start your free trial

Download Pulled on iOS. Create an account with your email and a strong password. The 14-day free trial begins immediately. No credit card required. During the trial you can check in and all check-ins count toward challenges if you subscribe.

Step 2: Your first check-in

Walk into any coffee shop, cafe, tea house, or boba shop. Open Pulled. The app uses GPS to find the nearest venue. Tap Pull. Take a photo of your drink. Any drink made by someone at a cafe counts: espresso, latte, tea, matcha, boba, hot chocolate. Submit. Done. The check-in is GPS-verified and the photo confirms you actually bought a drink.

Step 3: Enroll in your first challenge

Go to the Challenges tab. Explorer 30 is available from Explorer tier up: check in at any shop 30 times in 90 days for $50. Daily 50 requires Devoted tier: 50 check-ins in 90 days for $150. Enroll in one or more challenges. You can have up to three active at once.

Step 4: Track progress

Every check-in updates your challenge progress automatically. The challenge cards show how many check-ins remain and how many days are left in the window.

Step 5: Claim your payout

When a challenge is complete, you will be prompted to verify with biometrics. Once verified, the payout is credited to your Pulled balance. Withdraw to PayPal when your balance reaches $25 or more.
