Turning Receipts Into Rewards

July 16, 2025 If you’re anything like us, you probably toss your receipts without thinking twice. But what if those little slips of paper could actually earn you rewards? That’s exactly what we discovered with the Fetch app during Project Money! It’s completely free to use and makes it super easy to earn points just by scanning your receipts. Whether you’re shopping for groceries, grabbing a coffee, or ordering something online. No clipping coupons, no pre-selecting offers — just snap a photo of your receipt, and Fetch automatically applies points to your account. It might sound like a hassle, but its truly so quick and easy, we actually look forward to scanning them together and watching us earn anywhere from 25-7,500 points in one scan. It’s like a little game for us!
What makes it even better is how those points add up. Fetch lets you redeem them for gift cards to tons of places that we were regularly going to! My wife and I have started using our points for date nights — and it feels great knowing that everyday purchases are helping us do more of what we love without the guilt of spending hard earned money. It’s a really simple habit that’s turned into real rewards for us, and now we never let a receipt go to waste. We have shared this with all of our friends and family, and now Grandma saves her receipts for us to scan every weekend.
