- Date
- All items purchased, including their price
- Total amount you paid
- Once approve you will receive coins that can be redeemed for rewards
- Sometimes you’ll receive tokens instead of coins, these tokens can be used to play the Hogs Slot game, where you can earn coins
What Receipts Qualify?
Your receipt must be from one of the following places to qualify for coins:
- Grocery / Supermarket
- Supercenter
- Club (Cash and Carry)
- Closeout & Discount

- Bargain (Dollar / Pound Shops)
- Drug & Pharmacy

In addition to this you’re restricted to 20Â receipts per week (rolling seven day period) and limit of three receipts per same store per day.
Other receipts will earn sweep stake entries and the ability to spin Hog Slots. You can view a list of those categories here.
How Many Coins Will You Earn?
The amount of coins you earn is dependent on how much the total of your receipt is for. The break down is as follows:
- $10 or less: 5 coins
- $10.01-$50: 10 coins
- $50.01-$100: 15 coins
- $100+: 20 coins
If you’ve earned more than 100 coins in a single week, any receipt you submit will just result in 5 coins being awarded.
Earning Extra Coins
You can earn extra coins by completing surveys and also by scanning specific products (usually at most two coins per item). Currently you can also get:
- 100 coins for linking e-mail
- 36 coins for linking Amazon
What Can You Redeem Your Coins For?
Coins can be redeemed for PayPal cash and also for gift cards. The redemption rates for Paypal are as follows:
- 1000 coins: $5 (.500¢ per coin)
- 2,900 coins: $15 (.517¢ per coin)

Our Verdict
At best you’d be able to earn 400 points per week, if you saved that for the larger redemption you’d be earning $2.6. Personally I don’t think uploading 20 receipts is worth $2.6 so I’d put this app into the waste of time category. If you think differently, let me know in the comments below.
