What Fronto Was
Fronto was an Android-only app that put a rewards screen between you and your phone’s home screen: swipe left to read an article or coupon (and earn points), or swipe right to skip it and unlock your phone as normal (and still earn smaller points). Points could be redeemed for PayPal cash, Amazon gift cards, or store coupons. Entering a code like HAPPY1250 in the app’s Promo Codes section was worth an extra one-time points bonus.
The fronto.co domain we used to link to no longer has anything to do with the app — it currently redirects to unrelated casino and slot-machine content, which is a strong sign the domain lapsed and was picked up by someone else entirely. We also can’t find “Fronto” listed as an active app in searches of the app stores. Between those two signals, we’re treating Fronto as discontinued rather than just quiet.
We don’t have a direct lockscreen-rewards replacement for Fronto in our catalog. The closest thing we still carry a working code for is a different mechanic — Receipt Hog, which pays you in points for scanning shopping receipts rather than for unlocking your screen. It’s not a like-for-like swap, but it’s a live, currently-working option if “earn a little cash from an app” was the goal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Fronto promo code HAPPY1250 still work?
No, not that we can confirm. The app doesn’t appear to be listed in app stores anymore, and its old website domain now shows unrelated content. We’re keeping the code documented here for the record, not as a working offer.
Is Fronto still available for Android?
We couldn’t find it in app store searches. Combined with its old domain now hosting unrelated content, that points to the app being discontinued rather than just hard to find.
What about the SIXFIGURES or NewStart Fronto codes?
Same situation as HAPPY1250 — none of Fronto’s old promo codes have anywhere to be redeemed if the app itself is gone.
What’s a working alternative?
We carry a current code for Receipt Hog, a receipt-scanning rewards app. It works differently than Fronto did, but it’s a live option if you’re looking for a phone app that pays you something.
