A Simple Way to Earn Gift Cards with Your Car Insurance
Let’s be honest, nobody enjoys paying for car insurance. It’s just one of those things you have to do. But what if you could get a little something back from your insurance company, with no strings attached?
Erie Insurance has a program called YourTurn that does just that. It’s a simple way to earn rewards for driving safely. Here at Veritas Risk Management, we’re your local folks in Johnson City and Kingsport who can get you set up. There’s no jargon and no nonsense—just the straight facts.
So, What Is YourTurn?
It’s just an app you put on your smartphone. That’s it. It runs in the background and pays attention to how you drive.
Now, we know what you might be thinking: “I don’t want anyone tracking me.” We get it. But you need to know this upfront: this app can never be used to raise your insurance rates or get you in trouble. It is only there to give you rewards. It’s a one-way street, and it’s in your favor.
It just quietly notices a few basic things:
- Sudden stops or starts: Are you easy on the gas and the brake?
- Sharp turns: Taking corners at a reasonable speed.
- Speed: Driving at a safe speed for the road you’re on.
- Phone use: It can tell if you’re picking up and messing with your phone while the car’s moving.
It’s not about being a perfect driver. It just gives you a little nudge to be a bit safer.
How You Get Paid for It
This is the best part. Every two weeks, the app checks your score. If you’ve been driving safely, you earn rewards. Simple as that.
Here’s how it breaks down:
Who’s Driving? | Great Score (95+) | Good Score (90-94) |
---|---|---|
Younger Drivers (16-23) | $10 | $5 |
Adult Drivers (24+) | $5 | $2.50 |
You can trade your earnings in for gift cards to places like Amazon, Starbucks, and more than 20 other retailers. Use it for gas, coffee, or something for the house. You can also choose to donate your rewards to a local charity or church if you’d rather do that.

Answering Questions
“How does it know if I’m driving or just a passenger?” The app is pretty smart. It learns how you drive and can figure out if you’re behind the wheel or just riding shotgun.
“Is this thing going to drain my phone’s battery?” Not really. It was built to be easy on your battery, so you likely won’t even notice it’s there.
“What happens if I have to slam on the brakes to avoid a deer?” Don’t sweat it. The app looks at your driving over two whole weeks. One hard stop to avoid a problem on the road isn’t going to sink your score.
The Bottom Line
To put it plainly: The YourTurn app is free, it can’t hurt your insurance rates, and you can earn free stuff just for driving the way you probably already do.
