Do you want to earn money or gift cards in your spare time? All you need are the receipts from your shopping.  Take a quick scan of a receipt onto your phone, and earn points which then convert into PayPal payments or amazon e-vouchers.  Yes, it really is that easy.

Making money from your shopping receipts

This is one of the easiest ways to make money out of little bits of paper that you will already accumulate from your weekly shopping.  So how does it work? Well, it is simply scanning your shopping receipts from anything you have bought within the last two weeks onto a number of apps on your mobile phone.  For each receipt scan, you will receive an award of 120 points.  And what do points make? Prizes!  Yes, a variety of them, payments can be made in Amazon e-vouchers or payment via PayPal. It really is that easy and you can even scan the receipts while keeping your little one happy by sitting next to them and pretending to watch Peppa pig for the umpteenth time.

There are a number of apps that are free to download to your smartphone and once registered you can start using them straight away.  All receipts must be dated within the last two weeks and make sure that you do not scan the same receipt twice.  You will receive a notification of any errors with receipts, such as a blurry image. Make sure that you keep the receipts a few days in case you need to re-scan them.  If you have long receipts you can take multiple pictures to ensure the full receipt is captured.

This is a new app, in which you need to scan around 100 receipts to earn £5.00.  You can only scan receipts from the following stores:

  • Aldi
  • Asda
  • Co-op
  • Lidl
  • Morrisons
  • Sainsburys
  • Tesco
  • Waitrose

All receipts must be dated within the last 7 days and these can be both in-store and online receipts.  You can also complete surveys to earn additional points.  This app is quite slow due to the store restrictions and the number of receipts needed for a payout, but still worth scanning your receipts.  The £5.00 payout can be in a variety of gift cards, just go to the rewards tab to see them.   The app also has an insights section that adds up how much you have spent at each store throughout a month period.  This is useful if you want to monitor your spending.

Snap My Eats

This is a great app that I use to earn £5.00 every month. Just download the app, sign up then simply scan any receipts that have food purchased on them. This can be receipts from your supermarket shopping, restaurants or even just a bottle of juice purchased for your lunch.   As long as the receipt is dated within the last 7 days and is a single-sided receipt.  You have to scan 15 valid receipts within a 30 day period, which is easy enough to do.  Payouts are in Amazon vouchers and are sent via email 2 weeks after the end of the qualifying month.  Just search for Snapmyeats in your apps store.
