Use Rebate Apps: Ibotta, Fetch, and Receipt Hog

The Problem

You're throwing away receipts that are worth money. Manufacturers pay rebates through these apps.

The Hack

Download Ibotta, Fetch Rewards, and Receipt Hog. After shopping, scan your receipt. Earn points/cashback on items you already bought.

Why It Works

Manufacturers pay these apps to collect purchase data. The apps share a portion with you as rebates. It's free money for a 10-second receipt scan.

Pro Tips

• Ibotta: specific product rebates, often $0.50-$3 per item
• Fetch: points on every receipt regardless of what you buy
• Stack all three — same receipt, three apps, three payouts
• $5-15/month = $60-180/year for scanning receipts
