How do I send a SpotMe® Boost in the Chime app?

You can send a $5 SpotMe Boost to a friend in two easy ways:

From the home screen:

      1. Under Financial Tools, look for SpotMe Boosts.
               - This will show how many Boosts you have left this month.
      2. Tap SpotMe Boosts 
      3. Search for a contact.
      4. Tap Send $5 Boost next to their name.

From the Pay tab:

      1. Find your friend’s profile by either:
                a. Tapping your past activity with them, or
                b. Searching for them using the magnifying glass in the top right
      2. On their profile, tap the Boost button (next to Request and Pay).

SpotMe Boosts are different from Bonuses. To learn about those, read What are SpotMe® Bonuses?

Boosts are available to eligible Chime members enrolled in SpotMe® and are subject to monthly limits.
