Apart from apps that allow you make money for performing various jobs and tasks, apps like Ibotta or ReceiptHog can help you save money on things you already buy on a regular basis, such as groceries and personal essentials. Simply by taking photos of your receipts from grocery stores and other retailers, you can earn rewards that can be easily exchanged for a Paypal payout or Amazon gift cards on ReceiptHog.
ReceiptHog lets you submit receipts for purchases at supermarkets, drug and convenience stores, and more. The app rewards 5 - 20 ‘coins’ for each qualifying recent receipt — based on the purchase total. You can also receive bonuses for submitting receipts on a regular basis (up to 20 per week), and occasionally there are surveys about specific shopping trips that you can take to earn even more coins.
Snapping photos of receipts is easy — just align the edge guides with the receipt and hit the shutter button. After this, you will be prompted to rate your visit to the store out of 5 stars, and also indicate your gender. My favorite scenario is when there’s also an Ibotta rebate on the purchase, and I can use both apps in tandem to earn from the same receipt.
One curious feature of the app is called the ‘Hog Slots’, a slot machine style game where you can win more coins. You can earn more spins by submitting receipts more regularly, as well as by referring your friends to the app.
There’s not much more to ReceiptHog, but keep an eye on the ‘Rewards’ tab for occasional surveys and other earning opportunities.
Cashing out is also simple, with Paypal and Amazon gift cards being your only choices. Personally, I love both, with a slight preference for Paypal. It takes about 7 days to receive your payment via Paypal.
Overall, ReceiptHog is a simple, straightforward app that you can use to earn a small cash reward for the basic purchases you already make on a regular basis. Combined with Ibotta rebates, coupons, and store specials, ReceiptHot can potentially help you maximize your grocery store savings.
The app is available for Apple iOS and Google Android devices. Below is my referral url where you can download the ReceiptHog app.
