WAIT! Don’t Toss Those Receipts (or delete them)!


These apps turn receipts — paper or digital — into gift cards or cash in seconds. Just download and go.

They work after the shopping is done.
No planning ahead. No browser extensions. Just quick actions that add up.

Fetch Rewards

What you do

  1. πŸ‘‰ Download Fetch Rewards (this link gives you a 2000 point bonus)
  2. Snap any receipt — grocery, Amazon, Target, gas, restaurants, online orders.
  3. Optionally link certain accounts so e-receipts are picked up automatically.

What you earn

  • Receipts earn points, which you trade for gift cards.
  • I’ve earned five $25 Amazon gift cards so far just from receipts I would’ve thrown away.

What to know

  • Any receipt counts.
  • No location tracking required.
  • Takes seconds.

Google Opinion Rewards

What you do

  1. πŸ‘‰ Download Google Opinion Rewards
  2. Upload specific receipts Google asks for.
  3. Answer occasional one-question surveys.

What you earn

  • Play Store credit or PayPal cash.
  • I use the Play Store credits to pay for subscriptions I already have.

What to know

  • Google uses location data to prompt receipt requests.
  • More selective than Fetch.
  • Still very quick.

Benable

What you do

  1. πŸ‘‰ Join Benable (this link gives a 10% bonus)
  2. Create simple lists inside the app.
  3. Add items you already buy or love. 
  4. Make sure you give your lists curious or funny titles to encourage viewers to open your lists and follow you. AI can help you with this.

What you earn

  • You can earn when others use your lists.
  • I’ve earned twice from total strangers clicking a link to socks I love from Walmart.

What to know

  • Not a receipt app.
  • No followers, no posting, no pressure.
  • Just as fast.
  • Browsing doesn't require an invite, but posting lists and earning commissions does.

You should try them!

  • Download and go
  • No browser extensions
  • No planning ahead
  • Uses things you already buy

Receipts you already have + things you already like = quiet rewards.
