Receipt Pal: Rewards & Scanner

I’m not sure what it is exactly cause I don’t remember updating this app recently. However, the entire format of entering receipts has changed. Either that or I changed some setting that resulted in how it looks for me now. Anyways, I just wanted to leave some feedback. I don’t like it.. it seems way slower than it used to be. It also seems like it’s way harder to focus and SEE the receipt clearly now. Maybe that’s just the one receipt of mine, hopefully it is. I hope that this isn’t a sign that the app is going to start changing or becoming less legit. I’ve experienced that with other apps before. Anyways! Thank you for listening or reading to this and thank you for what has so far been an incredible app! Keep it up!

The app is easy to use. A couple annoying things is recently I had a message saying the store wasn’t listed. It clearly was and it was a gas receipt. The second thing that is highly annoying is the wait time for connecting email. I get the first time and it’s 30 days but I’ve had to now do it twice. Had to change my password because of someone trying to hack my email so of course now I have to wait 30 days for a second time. Super annoying. Another update. A receipt was flagged as duplicate even though it wasn’t. The response is that the system looks at merchant, date, time and amount of purchase and if that matches its a duplicate even if it’s actually not. Clearly the barcode numbers are different so obviously they are not the same receipt. I can make two purchases and get separate receipts easily and quickly when I pay for a ferry ride. I do this twice a week as I am using 2 different pre paid cards but I guess only one counts because they can’t differentiate between numbers on a barcode showing it’s not the same receipt.

It’s time for me to stop using the app. Having to get 100 points for every 4 receipts. You can tell it’s going to take awhile. And as more brick and mortar stores close and more online places open. Nope being able to use about 25% of my receipts due to them not accepting paypal and most stores run on paypal now. Which is crazy as it’s linked to or bank card. Or spending 300 on concert tickets and they not take that company because they are not big enough. Can’t help who is the only place to sell tickets for big name acts. So it is just taking way to long and giving way to much access to my emails to even get just $5.00. There are other apps to use. I will stick with them. So if you use be mindful most receipts won’t qualify. Even valid receipts get marked invalid. So you have to stay on top. You have to enter them right away as dates of acceptance change and it will take you months unless you buy tons every day.

Have had the app for several months now and love it so far but, I do have one big complaint. And after reading through the reviews it’s very clear that many others have the same big complaint as I do. Normally I would not be writing my own review with so many others already wrote but, none of the others had gotten an actual viable response. I am hoping to receive a solution because I have been trying for several months now to connect my email with the app. I keep plugging my info in, making sure that the toggle switch is green, and also that the email and password is correct. So please let me know what’s going on with it and how come it won’t work and also how to fix this issue. Thank you!

I would’ve given 5 stars but you only get 25 points regardless of what you buy or how much you spend. So it’s great for all my little drink/snack stops but only 25 points for receipts that are over $100 or more should have some type of bonus.. Also when I redeemed one of my $5 gift cards I didn’t get to spend the entire amount. It doesn’t apply to online shopping as a gift card so that when I check out it tries to charge to entire amount to gift card. So I had to intentionally spend less than $5 & nothing I can buy to redeem the remaining balance. I guess I need to wait on cashing in until I have larger amounts so I can actually use my redemption. Overall I enjoy this app
