What Is Receipt Hog
It is a ‘cash for receipts’ app, or a ‘scan receipts’ app as some people call it. Users upload pictures of their receipts to the app. Furthermore, users will also answer a few questions related to their trip. For example, if you shopped at a big brand name store, then you’d be asked about your shopping trip at that big brand name store.
How Does Receipt Hog Work
The way it works is you have to upload a receipt from an eligible retailer. This means you have to shop at specific stores, not just any old place. Receipt Hog details which retailers and stores are eligible. If you receive a receipt from an eligible retailer, then you simply snap a photo of it and upload it to Receipt Hog. Bear in mind that Receipt Hog can change which retailers or stores are eligible.
The site only allows you to submit real receipts. You cannot modify receipts at all. And you must have actually been part of the shopping trip.
Generally speaking, eligible stores/retailers include:
- Grocery stores
