If you often shop in physical stores and you’re not using receipt scanning apps then you’re leaving money on the table. Receipt scanning apps are apps that you use to photograph or forward your receipts in exchange for cashback. There are a range of these apps available in the UK and I’ll be sharing the best receipt scanning apps so you can get started.
1. Shoppix
Available on: iPhone and Android
Payout at: £5
Paid via: PayPal, Amazon, iTunes or Love2Shop vouchers
Shoppix lets you collect points by snapping your physical receipts, forwarding e-receipts and completing surveys. You’ll also be awarding with scratchcards that can be scratched to win bonus tokens and gain entry into weekly prize draws. Once you’ve reached £5 you can cash out directly into PayPal or use your tokens to buy vouchers.
2. SnapMyEats
Available on: iPhone and Android
Payout at: £10
Paid via: PayPal
SnapMyEats allows you to earn rewards by snapping pictures of your food and drink receipts. You earn a £1 credit for every 3 receipts you submit per month. You can submit a maximum of 15 receipts in a month to earn £5 credit. Once you hit £10 you can cash out via PayPal.
3. HuYu
Available on: iPhone and Android
Payout at: £5
Paid via: Gift voucher (wide variety to choose from)
HuYu rewards you for scanning receipts and answering surveys. You can upload your grocery receipts, forwards e-receipts and complete surveys in exchange for rewards. HuYu only allows you to submit supermarket receipts so it takes a little longer for points to build up.
4. Storewards
Available on: iPhone and Android
Payout at: £2
Paid via: Amazon voucher or PayPal
Referral code: s394z (*If you sign up using this code we’ll both get 1000 points.)
Storewards accepts receipts from most retailers and you can submit up to 5 per day or a maximum of 20 per week. Coins can be redeemed for Amazon gift vouchers or cash via PayPal.
You can submit each receipt on every receipt scanning app so it’s easy to build up your balances and cash out regularly.
Receipt scanning apps are a great way to make some extra money but did you know you can also save money on your weekly shop with cashback apps? These also require you to scan your receipts meaning you could make even more money from them!
