Get Off Your Phone, Get Rewarded: Phinge Unveils "Phreetime" Where Users Earn Extra Same-As-Cash Rewards on Netverse for Unplugging From Their Devices

By: PRLog
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Sept. 27, 2025 - PRLog -- Phinge® Phreetime will be a reward system within Netverse® that will incentivize users to disconnect from their Phinge mobile devices and engage in offline activities. It is part of the larger patented, Netverse app-less, ecosystem and is designed to reward a balanced, active lifestyle.

How Phreetime works
  1. Participate in an activity: Through partnerships with various merchants and businesses, Phreetime will offer and promote different activities, hobbies, and adventures.
  2. Purchase the activity: A user buys one of these activities or products from a participating merchant.
  3. Complete the activity device-free: The user is required to put their Phinge device away while they enjoy their offline activity, such as a hike or a restaurant meal. Short duration phone calls will be exempt.
  4. Earn extra rewards: Once the activity is completed, the user receives an additional percentage of their purchase price as a rebate in rewards.
  5. Use rewards like cash: These rewards can then be redeemed same-as-cash for any future transactions with other verified merchants within the Netverse.
Examples of Phreetime incentives
  • Encouraging outdoor activities: Phinge partners with businesses that provide outdoor excursions, rewarding users for putting down their devices to enjoy nature.
  • Rewarding loyalty: By offering enhanced rewards for certain activities, Phinge incentivizes users to try new experiences with its partner merchants.
  • Boosting purchases: Users can earn even more rewards by purchasing additional related products or extending their time with an activity, further driving sales for the merchant.
Benefits for businesses
  • Driving traffic to merchants: Netverse directs users to merchants that offer goods and services related to offline activities, boosting customer traffic for participating businesses.
  • Promotional flexibility: Businesses can offer extra rewards on certain products or services to attract users during slow periods.
  • Increased customer retention: By offering rewards that can be used across the entire ecosystem, Netverse promotes loyalty across the whole ecosystem as a whole, rather than just a single brand or third-party platform.
Impact on the Netverse ecosystem
  • A healthier economy: By tying rewards to both online and offline activities, Phreetime creates a more integrated and dynamic economy that benefits both users and businesses.
  • Supports small businesses: The universal reward system helps level the playing field, incentivizing users to shop with smaller, verified vendors in the real-world through Netverse.
  • Data ownership: Netverse is built around user-owned data, which means users who participate in Phreetime and other activities can control and monetize their own information as they choose.
A balanced life through Netverse.

Through its patented Netverse ecosystem and patented mobile hardware, Phinge is building a safer and more rewarding online community. The upcoming launch of "Phreetime" underscores this commitment by creating a unique reward system that encourages a healthy balance of digital and offline engagement.

By integrating rewards for real-world activities, Phinge further strengthens its unified platform, benefiting both consumers and the verified businesses that operate within the Netverse.

CEO Robert DeMaio believes, "Netverse is not just a better technology and platform. It's a choice between a future where your attention is a commodity to be mined and sold, or a future where your time, both on and offline, is valued and respected."

About Phinge Corporation

Phinge was founded and through Netverse® is being developed to disrupt today's outdated App technologies, including the App-store duopoly, by partnering with and giving its users and businesses ownership and control of their data, enhanced privacy and a better overall mobile experience including their ability to monetize it.

Phinge through its upcoming patented Netverse App-less technology platform with proprietary AI, will be a better, safer, verified and rewarding alternative platform and technology for users and third party businesses and developers to today's App stores, operating systems and ecosystems of Apple, Google and Android.

Netverse will not be an App or Super App that resides on the major technology platforms of today.

Instead, it will be a standalone, all-in-one, app-less platform, accessible only through Phinge's revolutionary, patented, Mobile Hardware which includes Magnetically Attachable/Detachable Phones, Tablets, Mobile Gaming Systems and peripherals like the stylish, wireless earbuds with interchangeable batteries and built-in sensor screens for continuous usage without recharging and Smart Watches that never need to be charged as they come with stylish external, interchangeable bezels with built-in rechargeable batteries and come in a variety of colors, patterns and finishes.

Netverse will be a verified, centralized-decentralized platform.

Centralized in the way it provides universal safeguards through verification of all users, businesses, organizations, entities and IP through Phinge's patented Netverse technologies and hardware.

Centralized because Phinge and Netverse will be compliant with all government regulations regarding data and privacy.

Decentralized because all thirty party platforms will be compliant with all government regulations regarding data and privacy as soon as they are verified and join Netverse.

Decentralized because its users, businesses, organizations and entities will have the power to live, work and thrive in a verified world.

Netverse will benefit all verified users and approved, verified third party businesses, developers and platforms on Netverse in ways not possible with today's technology including total verification of all users, businesses, organizations, platforms and entities.
