Receipt Hog: Shopping Rewards 17+

Zenny is the best

So I’m not big on leaving reviews. I don’t know why I probably should start do my it more but anyway that being said, I feel as though this is worthy of some positive feedback and a little boost in ratings.
I really like using Receipt Hog versus any of the other wannabe receipt scanning apps. I haven’t had too many issues while on it, and if ever I did I always got quick responses addressing my concerns with solutions and helpful tips. Zenny is part of the Support Team and has been The One who actually provides the answers when you need any help with the app so far.
I’d also like to mention that when it comes to earning any actual money, with this app it’s true. You really can trade in your accumulated points and choose between 3 different gift cards and the more points you gain the higher the dollar amount on the gift card of your choosing.
Only kind of annoyingly lame this is that it takes forever to get enough points just to get yourself a $5 gift card. And the gap in-between each reward is a bit too wide l it’s just a bit discouraging. But idk that could just be me.
So my only suggestion would be to either introduce more rewards and perhaps fewer point requirements or maybe implement a few other ways one can possibly earn points on this app in addition to the receipt scanning.

Thanks for the feedback! We hope you enjoy your rewards!

Do not like recent Changes !!

Consistently over which receipts are acceptable and which ones has changed and are unfair. I’ll explain. (1) More receipts than ever are being rejected. (2) businesses that were once accepted are being rejected, for an unknown reason. (3) almost every large purchase is being rejected. I get it, you don’t want users to accumulate points as quickly as we once could. Not right! (4) Two receipts from same business are submitted. One is accepted, the other rejected. Almost always the lesser amount of the two is accepted. (5) we work diligently to upload these receipts - it’s not a fun thing to do, but I do it for a measly small dollar gift card that takes forever to achieve. (6) too many receipts are marked wrong, wrong amounts, claims that receipts are blurry when they are fully readable, a few are legit, but far too many are mislabeled; then when i challenge the errors, nothing is done. (7) if you want me to continue using this app clean up your act. (8) the fact that this app makes a record of purchases and can be used to return items is nice, but there are other apps that will do same thing. (8) if your recent changes are permanent please communicate honestly with your users what new rules are ... to be fair.

Overall Okay

I used it frequently until income loss and had a lot of personal stuff going on.. I haven’t use this in about six months according to my last receipt uploaded. When I first opened the app it showed that I had 425 coins, and a full yellow level bar. Then, I browsed through the other tabs to see if anything was new. (I see the spin slots still not updated/used.. that August winner from 2021, or maybe even from 2020 lol.) I saw that I had no spins left which i definitely had some. I went back to the homepage and now I only have 5 coins and my level was lowered! Wonder if anybody else has experienced this? I skimmed the app Q&A and Terms of Service, but nowhere did I see “coin loss for inactivity.” I mean it’s a “feature” [scam] mostly expected from ALL of these savings apps, but at least you can find that info somewhere.

I never liked the limit of 3 receipts from the same store per day. Just yesterday I went shopping with my mom and together we had five receipts. I often ring up batches of items to keep things organized, and limit “data sharing”/shopping “trends.” Also do it to take advantage of the different apps to maximize my savings. It’s necessary because i have no income of my own, and otherwise have a low budget. We know the 3-receipt limit is done on purpose.. if we spend a few hundred on groceries, that prevents us from just doing separate receipts and getting the points we Actually deserve.
