A
fun and rewarding phone app called Receipt Hog can turn your
everyday receipts from shopping into cash – no matter where you
shop or what you buy.
Shop
anywhere. Buy anything. Then take a picture of your receipt with
Receipt Hog on your phone.
“Your
receipt data along with the answers you provide to optional surveys
is made anonymous and summarized in market research reports that
brands purchase,” according to the Receipt Hog website. “These
companies pay for information such as, 'Families in the Phoenix area
are 20 percent more likely than the rest of the United States to
shop for laundry detergent at a super center than a traditional
grocery store.'" And its not just shopping receipts.
On
Tuesday, Receipt Hog announced it now accepts all receipts from
restaurants, cafes, and gas-only purchases and rewards users with
sweepstakes entries.
Grabbing a pizza for dinner? Filling up the gas tank? Purchasing some new clothes or a new phone? All receipts count and can be converted into cash.
Users can receive their cash by PayPal or in the form of a Amazon gift card once they reach 1,000 coins in the app.
