Random Acts of Relief, the story so far
We kick-started Random Acts of Relief a couple of weeks ago, and we’re ready to ramp things up. Before we do though, we thought we’d make sure we’re all up to speed. Let’s go.
Part of Cleo’s charm is to help you track where your money goes each month. And as you can imagine, the data’s looking a bit different these days (obvi it’s all anonymized and no, it’s not for sale. You can read more about Cleo’s security policy here).
1. You’ve turned to Playstation in your time of need
Your PSN purchases are up 62%
2. That caffeine habit? Probably kicked
Average spending at Starbucks has dropped by more than half
3. You’re socially distancing from Taco Bell

4. Local restaurants are still getting your support
DoorDash spending is on the up. We’ve seen the number of orders rise by 15.17%
5. Vacay spending is on hold
Between March and April, we’ve seen a 66% drop in your spending on that getaway. We know. It sucks
6. You haven’t seen your Uber driver in a while
The number of journeys is down by 55%. Lyft trips have also been cut back by 68%. Unsurprisingly, you’re not getting out much at all. Transport spend has dipped by 44%

It was Cleo’s #1 merchant last month, and still holds the top spot
9. Hang in there, you’ll see your friends again
Entertainment spending is down 34%...
10. In less terrible news...
There’s been a 10% increase in people putting money in savings. But bank charges still persist. Not cool
