Receipt Hog - earn points (for giftcards or cash) for uploading copies of receipts

In my quest for additional rebate apps, I found Receipt Hog. This app simply wants you to upload receipts from visits to the grocery store, convenience store, pet store, liquor store, and a handful of other retailers they specify.
You don't have to scan codes on items or anything of the like, just scan the receipt. It updates weekly. Once you earn "coins" they can be redeemed for gift cards or cash.

Visit Receipt Hog and sign up here!

Ibotta rebates - UPDATE

I've been using Ibotta for a month - already earned $16.00 cash. These aren't points, it's cash that I can move directly into my Paypal account. And I didn't buy anything that I wouldn't have already - I just took the time to input the information into the app.




















Ibotta is an app that offers rebates for buying certain products at a specific retailer.
For instance: if I shop at Fred Meyer, I can earn a $0.25 rebate for buying milk, which I would buy anyway. Most of the rebates are brand specific. You can also earn rebates for online shopping (caution! Often this is ONLY if you link to the retailer from the Ibotta link) or for going to the movies. I earned $1.00 last week for going to "Mockingjay".
The downside with this app is it's a little labor intensive. You have to unlock the rebate, then scan the barcodes, then photo your receipts. I don't mind, but I can see how this would deter some people.

Shell Fuel Rewards

Fuel Rewards is a loyalty program. Once signed up, you link debit/credit cards through the program that award you points for purchases - groceries, dining out, online shopping, etc. There are some additional offers available for linking a Mastercard (which was my KeyBank debit card....see posting below on getting $100 for opening a KeyBank account). As your points add up, your fuel rewards increase at Shell stations, which equals money off at the pump.

You can also link your grocery rewards for some retailers which allows you to double dip points.

EBATES! Super easy, cash quarterly

Ebates was the beginning of my online rebate experience. I LOVE to online shop, and this is the easiest way to get cash back! Once you create an ebates account, all you have to do is link your online shopping through their website, Some retailers have cash rebates as much as 10% back, and there are also specials regularly.

I even link my travel purchases (car rentals, hotel stays) through them for participating vendors, and those big purchases add up fast in the form of cash back.

Every quarter they send you a paper check or deposit the funds right into your Paypal account! EASY!
