Is Campus Commandos Legit?
Who is Campus Commandos, LLC?
Campus Commandos LLC is a Detroit-born college marketing agency and a Quicken Loans partner company. We have two main goals: create opportunity for college students and help brands connect authentically with students across campuses nationwide.
What is the Campus Commandos App?
Our app streamlines the once lengthy and costly process of finding quality brand ambassadors. Through the Campus Commandos App, ambassadors can receive tasks, complete them, submit proof, and get paid — all from their phone.
Will my college have the same tasks as other colleges?
Maybe, maybe not. Brands often set different goals on each campus, so your friend at another school might have different tasks even if working for the same brand.
Is this some kind of scam or spam?
Absolutely not. We hate scams as much as you do. This isn’t door-to-door sales or shady pitches. The brands we work with want genuine relationships with students and aim to become trusted names in fashion, beauty, food, and more. Tasks in the Campus Commandos App focus solely on building those connections.
How does the app work?
Once you download the app (available on iOS and Android), you’ll create an account and answer some basic HR questions to help brands understand who their potential ambassadors are. After qualifying, you’ll receive notifications for jobs you can accept with a tap. Clear instructions and proof-of-task submissions happen right in the app, making the process seamless for you and transparent for brand managers.
How do I get paid? Do I have to reach a minimum amount first?
After completing a task and submitting proof, your work will be reviewed by the brand manager. Once approved, payment is instantly sent to the bank account you linked when signing up — no waiting to hit a minimum payout.
How often will brands post tasks?
It varies by brand and campus, but our goal is to keep students busy with opportunities. Keep an eye on the app so you don’t miss out.
Can I put this experience on my resume?
Definitely! Campus Commandos is designed to help you gain real-world experience that moves your career forward. In today’s competitive job market, actual experience matters — we help you build that and provide content and tips to maximize it.
What companies or brands work with Campus Commandos?
We work with brands across many industries — retail, fashion, food and beverage, tech, fitness, furniture, and more. Some names you might recognize include Men’s Wearhouse, IKEA®, GNC, L’Oreal, FRYE, HP, and eBay.
Who is behind the Campus Commandos App?
Our leadership team includes Adam Grant, CEO, who represented 10 brands during his own college career and built Campus Commandos from that experience. Mickey Katz brings nearly two decades of brand ambassador program expertise and helped grow one of the largest online food ordering brands for colleges. Together, they bring real-world knowledge and passion to support both students and brands.
How do I prove I completed tasks?
Depending on the task, you may need to check into a location, take photos or videos, or fill out survey forms—all done right in the app. For example, if asked to hang flyers, you’d submit photos as proof. This instant documentation speeds up approval.
How often do I have to complete tasks?
You should only accept tasks you intend to finish, as brands can rate your performance. That said, the Campus Commandos App lets you pick up work when it fits your schedule.
Can I get promoted or earn raises through the app?
Yes! We have a Brand Badge feature: after completing a task, the brand can indicate if they’d work with you again. If so, you earn a badge that can unlock perks and future opportunities in the app’s next versions.
Is the app available on iOS and Android?
Yes, the Campus Commandos App is available for both platforms.
How is Campus Commandos different from other similar apps?
Unlike other platforms, Campus Commandos offers a fully app-based experience where you get notified of jobs, accept tasks, submit proof, and get paid—all within one seamless interface designed just for brand ambassadors.
What kinds of tasks will companies ask me to do?
Brands go through a vetting process, and we carefully monitor all tasks. Examples include hanging flyers, setting up events, or sharing info with your friends. There’s a task for every skill level, and we’re excited to have you join!
Why isn’t my .edu email address being accepted?
This usually happens if your student email has two periods in a row, which causes a validation error. We’re working to fix this. For now, please use your personal email address to sign up.
How secure is my banking information?
We use Stripe to handle all banking info, so none of your sensitive data is stored by the Campus Commandos App. Stripe uses two-factor authentication and top security protocols to keep your info safe. Learn more at stripe.com.
