Didn't get the money
They ended up getting back to me within a couple of hours and had the issue resolved. I got the gift card right away then, so I'm satisfied with the way they took care of the situation.

Verified ReviewerComplaint Regarding Unjust Account Termination, Lack of Transparency, and Mishandled Dispute Process by Receipt Hog
On 5/17/25, I was abruptly logged out of my account. Attempts to reset my password failed, and the app displayed a message stating my account was disabled.
There was no prior notice, warning, or explanation. On 5/19 at 7:24 AM, I reached out via email to formally dispute the deactivation and request clarification. At 11:50 AM, I received a response from a customer service representative, Shelame, who claimed my account had been terminated due to repeated receipt submissions that violate our Terms and Conditions, specifically accusing me of uploading fraudulent receipts. No concrete examples, dates, or documentation were provided to support this serious allegation.
I replied at 12:38 PM, demanding clarification and a proper review. At 12:42 PM, I received a vague follow-up referencing only a single receipt that appeared to be uploaded from another device. At no point was I ever warned, flagged, or contacted regarding a potential issue. There was no indication that submitting receipts photographed via my own email account on my own devices would be inappropriate, let alone constitute fraudulence.
That term carries serious ethical and legal implications and should not be thrown around casually by staff. The fact that my account was permanently disabled without so much as a single alert, notification, or opportunity to respond is not only a violation of reasonable customer service practices; it is a complete failure of fair process. How can a company justify cutting off a user, without warning, and then labeling them as having engaged in fraudulent behavior, all while failing to present any actionable proof? Had I been informed that the method I was using to submit receipts was against policy, I would have stopped.
I was using the app in good faith and within what I understood to be the guidelines.
To retroactively penalize me without explanation or a chance to correct the behavior is unjust. As of 5/19, I have not received a response and my request for reinstatement has been ignored.
User's recommendation: Do not use this APP...Fetch is far superior!

You dismiss perfectly good receipts that were provided by businesses. There are too many times that images are said not to be able to be read.
When I look back at the images it is clear. I do admit that there are a few longer receipts that are not clear.

Verified ReviewerWill not accept any receipt with a DD-MMM-YYYY date format
I was being put through to Just Answer for a resolution of my problem. I have had two bad experiences with them overcharging and being difficult in sending a refund, so I will not use them any more. If you have no further option, then I think I will have to stop using your app and turn to one of your competitors.
If you have an alternative, I would like to know, otherwise good bye.

User's recommendation: Check what date format is on your paper receipts that you want to scan.

Verified ReviewerSystem errors. The use of Just Answer is not a viable way to operate.
System does not accept receipts with a valid date that is within the required time frame. Receipt Hog uses Just Answer as their customer service channel, and my experience with them is bad.
User's recommendation: Be aware that not all paper receipts will be read successfully. Date format issue.

I've been using Receipt Hog for a couple of years. I usually cash out at $5.
This time, I was trying to build my points up, and I was doing well, and then I lost my Google account and had to create a new Gmail. I have had no response from Receipt Hog or any contact from them, and there's no phone number to call.
User's recommendation: Cash out as soon as possible even if it's only $5 otherwise you might not get your money

Verified ReviewerResolved: Receipts
Despite the fact that other receipts with handwritten store names on them had been accepted in the past, I was told that they are not accepted based on the app rules. A representative provided me an entry into the sweepstakes for a receipt that I entered that should have been accepted.
These should still be considered as receipts as all of the other information is on them.Ive also had receipts that do have the name on the top and they are not being accepted. When I try to respond by website, it always tells me that something went wrong. I am being inconvenienced by having to email you now on receipts that should be being accepted.
If my receipts keep getting refused, I will quit using your app. Please inform by a return phone call.Thank you.

Preferred solution: An app that works properly.
User's recommendation: Consider using other apps as this one doesn’t seem to be fair to it’s users.
Their policy clearly states that store name, date and purchase amount must be printed on receipt by the store. If any is missing or altered the receipt will not count.
“I am being inconvenienced sending you this email....”. Then DON’T and move on. You are spending all this time organizing and uploading receipts for pocket change but gripe over spending fifteen minutes to send an email.
Their app. Their rules.

Learn to read terms and conditions
Spare me the “read the terms” deflection. I did—and nowhere does it state that submitting my own receipts via my email or another device is prohibited.
Section 5.12 refers to altered or third-party receipts, which I never submitted. Let’s call this what it is: a baseless accusation, a reckless misuse of the word fraud, and a total lack of due process. I got locked out without warning, and without a single opportunity to correct anything. That’s not policy enforcement—that’s cowardice.
That’s not how ethical companies operate—it’s how they get exposed. If Receipt Hog treats users this way, people deserve to know.
Reading them after doesn’t count. As witnessed here, you use the terms AFTER to fit your false narrative based on your interpretation.
Not until you faced a problem.
The terms and conditions are to be read first to get an understanding of policy and to also raise questions on your part when you encounter issues you need to go back and look at. #lightweight
Spare me the smug hashtags. Reading the Terms isn’t the issue—hiding behind them after a company fails to communicate, warn, or apply them consistently is.
What you’re defending isn’t policy enforcement—it’s a lazy, retroactive excuse for a poorly handled account termination. I didn’t twist anything. I pointed out a fact: the Terms don’t explicitly ban what I did. If they had, I would’ve followed them.
Simple. Calling someone’s behavior “fraudulent” without warning, context, or proof? That’s not policy—that’s reckless and defamatory. And you defending it?
That’s not clever. That’s complicit. If you think blindly defending a company’s screw-up makes you sound informed, it doesn’t. It just proves you value being “right” over being fair.
So unless you’re on their payroll, maybe step aside. This isn’t your fight—and your condescension doesn’t change the facts.
