Making free money from your shopping receipts is such a great way to get that little extra back. There are cashback sites to get money back when you shop online, my money pocket is a popular one. But now you can earn from your receipts too
I have a very quick and easy way to make a little extra, it really is quite simple
Now this amount wont be life changing, but it might make a difference when you most need it. You can save the money up or redeem as you go along
Scanning your shopping receipts, can really earn you money, actually cash or vouchers if you would prefer
The way I do this is through mobile apps
There are three different mobile apps that are free to download, which I use to make money from my shopping receipts
Make Money From Receipts
Shoppix App
You scan your receipts simply via the camera section in the app. As the app is currently styled it is at the bottom in the middle of the home screen
Each receipt has a ‘value’ which in turn earns you tokens
These tokens can be exchanged for cash or vouchers, you get to choose what you would prefer. Amazon, iTunes, Love2Shop or Paypal are the ways you can currently redeem
Again, the more receipts you upload the more tokens you will earn. You can also get tokens for online shopping, simply forward your purchase receipt on to the linked email address you set up when you sign up for ereceipts
Make sure you upload them within 7 days for them to count towards your running total. Which is also visible on the home screen
To earn bonus tokens, complete the in-app surveys. You will get notifications when these surveys are available to you
Surveys take a minute or two and easy to do, these earn you more tokens and scratch cards
The scratch cards will contain more tokens or sometimes nothing
Shoppix give you a referral code you can share with up to 8 people
Each time they sign up with your code, you get 200 points
My referral code is 71CCM7R if you would like to use it and get yourself 200 token sign up bonus too
Storewards App
This is replacing the previously well known app Receipt Hog. Receipt Hog no longer functions and if you have this app you might as well delete it
Again very simple to use with the in app camera. This is found on the page called receipts, there is an orange icon with an image of a camera in it. Click on this and the camera function will pop up and you snap your new receipt
The coin rewards on this app get bigger as you go up a level. The more receipts you snap the more coins and level ups you are going to have
The redeemable cash outs are for Paypal and Amazon only. These are currently the only options in multiples of £2, £5 or £10
ZipZero App
The only difference with this app is the pay out goes towards a bill. Whether this is a utility bill or a mobile phone bill, you decide where you want the funds credited too
You set up your biller information with your unique reference for your supplier account and pay as and when the funds are clear
I have mine linked to my mobile phone supplier and when ever I accumulate £20 credit I pay it towards my monthly charge
All apps are really quick and easy to use
Just remember to scan your receipts as soon as possible
Also the same receipts can be scan on all there apps
Do you already do this to earn some extra money? Let me know in the comments if there are any more apps worth using too
Pin this for later
Sounds interesting – I think I’d be the type to forget half the time though!
I keep meaning to try these. I’m sure I’d find them easy enough to use once I’d got into the habit. Thanks for the explanation of them, that’s really helpful!
I use receipt hog and have had a £20 Amazon voucher. It took ages though as I forget to upload my receipts half the time. I’m going to try Shoppix too and hope I can remember to upload more receipts!
I signed upto shoppix a few weeks ago with your refferal code, I am really liking it so far, its going to take a while to add up but that doesn’t matter as I take pics of my receipts anyway for scan and shop so anything is a bonus. Thanks 🙂
Sounds interesting, I have heard of these companies before but I have never used them
