Want to be rewarded whenever and wherever you spend? Fetch Rewards is an app that lets
you earn just by scanning your receipts so that when you buy anything, you get something
back. With Fetch you earn points by scanning receipts,
then you can redeem those points for gift cards. That means no pre-clipping coupons
or saving offers before you hit the store. Just buy what you want and scan the receipt
afterward. The app also helps you track spending to identify where you’re hard-earned cash
is going. I’m Beth from Team Clark and I’ve been
using Fetch Rewards for over a year because it’s a great way to put some money back
in your pocket when you make a purchase. To get started, download the Fetch Rewards
app to your device and open it. Create an account with your Google or Facebook login
or with an email and password. On the Discover page, you’ll see featured
brands, bonus point rewards, and special offers. Fetch gives you extra points for buying featured
brands and products. But you don’t need to go out of your way
and spend more than you normally would just to get points. Remember to always comparison
shop for the best deal instead of buying something just to get a bonus.
The app also frequently offers bonuses for referring friends to the app. You can find
your referral code on the My Account page under “Refer a Friend.”
Fetch Rewards accepts receipts from virtually anywhere. The app also gives you the option
to connect your email and Amazon accounts so that it can scan receipts from any online
purchase you make to earn more points. To connect either of these accounts to Fetch,
click eReceipts on the My Account page or the blue “E” icon at the bottom of the
screen on the Discover or Activity page. Of course, you can always just stick to uploading
the old fashioned way. Click the camera icon at the bottom of the screen to take a picture
of a receipt. Line up the edges so that the outer box turns
green and tap the screen to focus the camera. If the picture is blurry, click Retake...and
try again. For longer receipts, click Add Section to
take photos of all of the receipt information. Once you’ve taken pictures of the receipt
from top to bottom, click Submit. Fetch will then process your photos and award you points
based on the type of receipt and any bonuses associated with that purchase.
And here’s an important thing to remember: A receipt has to be from the past two weeks
to be eligible. Any receipt older than 14 days won’t be processed for points.
Once you’ve started scanning receipts, you’ll see what you’ve entered on the Activity
page. This log can help you track your spending and form a budget if you don’t have one.
You’ll see details from your recent receipts, a graph of the points you’ve earned, any
spending goals you set, a graph of your total spend, plus a breakdown by retailer.
At the bottom, you’ll also see a year-by-year breakdown option. You can dive deeper by clicking
on a year’s box then looking at individual months.
Another way to earn is by using the SingleCare pharmacy card associated with your Fetch Rewards
account. SingleCare is a service like GoodRx or Rx Saver where you can present the digital
card at participating pharmacies in place of insurance.
By using this card, you’ll get the pre-arranged price that’s been brokered by SingleCare
and the pharmacy for your medication. For more information about SingleCare, check out
our article linked in the description below! When you want to redeem your points, go to
the Rewards page and scroll through your options under Use Points. You can redeem points for
gift cards when you accrue as little as 3,000. A thousand points is generally equivalent
to a dollar. Gift cards are available in set dollar amounts.
The most common amounts are 3, 5, 10, 25, and 50 dollars.
There are tons of types of gift cards from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target
and more! When you have enough points to redeem for
a gift card, you’ll see a yellow ring around the dollar amount of the gift card you select.
Tap the amount, then click the Get My Reward button. You’ll see any gift cards you’ve
traded on the Rewards page under My Rewards. Overall I really love using Fetch because
it’s easy to scan receipts and I don’t have to do any planning before I go shopping
to earn rewards. Plus, I have two weeks after a purchase to scan a receipt. It’s a great
way to get free gift cards without a lot of extra work.
