*** Updated 12/8/15, even more receipts are accepted!*** See asterisks below
This week I'm going to tell you about 2 mobile apps that are simple to use that can earn you free stuff! Both can be found in the app stores (Apple or Android) and they are Receipt Pal and Receipt Hog (use referral code yuss3503 for Receipt Hog and we both get free spins to earn coins!)
Both of these apps are easy to use and work the same way. You snap pictures of any receipts you accumulate for shopping and send them through the app. That's it. When you do this, you earn points that can be traded in for free stuff! I think it's just as easy to use both apps but I will break them down separately in case you only want to use one. But seriously, only takes less than a minute to use both so why not!!
RECEIPT HOG is based on "coins" that you earn by uploading pictures of your receipts and by earning spins in which you can earn extra coins. When you upload your receipts, you earn coins based on the dollar amount you spent. In addition to regular shopping receipts from grocery stores, they love to get receipts from gas stations (convenience store purchases, not gas) and liquor stores. Some receipts don't qualify for coins, instead you will receive "spins" for their "Hog Slots". Some example are department stores, office supply stores, sporting goods, book stores, and home improvement stores. I shop at Kohl's and Sephora frequently and these receipts earn me spins. *** Effective 12/8/15, RECEIPT HOG now also accepts all receipts from restaurants, cafés, and gas-only purchases and rewards you with sweepstakes entries!***
Additionally, you complete challenges that earn you spins. An example of this is for November, if you send receipts for 1 week, you receive 1 spin. After you send receipts for 3 weeks, you receive 2 spins and after you send receipts every week, you earn another 5 spins.
The final way to earn additional rewards is that longer you do it, you reach levels. I am 1 week away from level 12! Levels 1-11 you earn additional spins starting with 1 spin and Level 11 is an additional 30 spins! At Level 12, you start earning additional coins instead of spins. I will receive 100 coins in 1 week!
Redeeming your "coins" is easy. They have 2 options, Amazon eGift cards and cash to be deposited into a Paypal account. The breakdown is the same for both: 1000 coins is $5, 1800 coins is $10, 3200 coins is $20 and 4500 coins is $30. If you shop frequently, you can rack up free money fast, if you shop less frequently, it may take longer but it's still free cash so who cares!
RECEIPT PAL is similar but there aren't any spins. They also accept eReceipts so if you do a lot of on-line shopping, this one is great for you. Either take a picture of your store receipts or email them a copy of your eReceipts, fill a "card" of 4 receipts and you earn 100 points. That's it.
Redeeming points for rewards is a little bit different. Their rewards vary from Receipt Hog. Based on points earned from least to most they have Charity Choice gift cards, Amazon gift cards, Restaurant.com gift cards, Dinner and a Movie, and gift cards for retailers like Amazon, Best Buy Lowes, Home Depot, Regal, Target, Walmart and iTunes.
All these companies are interested in are your shopping habits. And they reward you for it. So for minutes a day, you can receive free stuff. Why wouldn't you take advantage of it?!?
Tune in next week for another free money making opportunity!! The holidays are upon us and I know you will be shopping so lets not only save money but make money!!
