hello I am Wanderer001 and this is my review of fetch reward
it is a I'm not gonna call it a money-saving app it's more like a money
receipt scanning app so I'll explain a little bit about that in a moment but
what you see when you first start is the actual special offers page so the idea
behind this is yes you go shop you scan your receipts using this app and it will
give you a point basis that can be exchanged for a gift card now based on
certain actions is how many points you get per receipt
so here you can see special offers this lists out all special offers that are
going on currently that if you happen to purchase hypothetically let's come back
up here to jello if you purchase two of them you will get 250 extra points now
you do have to make sure that you put a check mark this is normally a plus sign
but if you put a check mark there that will enter you into having this happen
if you happen to click on something it will give you a description as to how
long it is valid for and coming over here to brands so this is the most of
the time happening deals you can see favorites which are things that I happen
to have purchased in the past and it lets you know hey those are deals that
you want to pay attention to it also has suggested so these are things that
thinks I would be interested in and some of it I would be and for the most part
I'm going to suggest you just come to all they do break them down into other
categories as well but coming to all what you would do is you would come
through here and I just figure it's easier to put check marks on everything
this way even if it's something you don't normally purchase but you do
happen to purchase it you will get credit for it so each of these will be
worth a certain amount of extra so clicking on any of the items so this
will bring you pretty much to the website so if we come back up here to
there was some steak sauce so we click on that and it will bring us to
information about the steak sauce now the one thing I I do dislike is over
here in the corner when you're trying to tap on those sometimes when you try and
tap the plus sign it will bring you into the
page itself which I wish it kind of didn't do that but coming back so those
are our special offers and brands coming down here along the bottom
if we select plan this is more for like shopping or related things like recipes
which if you come over here you have recipes and you can kind of scroll
through there but that's not really what I use this for I use it for coming
across the bottom scanning receipts so on this page it's gonna show you right
now a breakdown of the last seven days so this will show you the receipts that
I've scanned tapping on that will show you receipts and show you exactly what
you purchased it will also give you these offers saying hey maybe if you go
and buy this on your next trip will give you a little extra bonus and down here
you can see my lifetime scanned receipts and spent as well as total points earned
coming across there it will show your total points earned in my case 2019
total spending for 2019 gives you a nice little breakdown of where all that money
is being spent now scrolling down here you have your receipts so from here you
can see in 2018 I scan 10 receipts and I spent $380 now this icon here is kind of
oddly placed and I wish it would be somewhere else that's how you actually
scan the receipt I'll show you about in a moment but coming here to 2019 if I
scroll that a little bit in 2018 you can see that I got a total of three thousand
three hundred fifty eight points and currently in 2019 I only have nine
hundred seventy-one three thousand points is the equivalent of like three
dollars but you do get a sign-on bonus if you use somebody's referral as well
as their other things like I said Pepsi had something where it was like hey if
you use Pepsi we'll give you extra points for that so clicking on a current
year will allow you to see all of the receipts so here you go and this one is
all the receipts for 2019 and here you can see that because I purchased
Gatorade I got 10 extra points per purchase now I have found that normally
I get about 25 points per receipt scanned and when you first sign on
there's a lot of like hey extra points here extra points here but it does seem
that 25 if you don't get his bonus categories is about what
you're looking to be able to get per receipt now you can only scan
receipts that are no older than 14 days and it does limit you on the amount of
receipts that you can scan per week I have not hit that pay wall or that
threshold yet but I think I read that it was like 14 receipts per week so you do
have a generous amount of receipts now the receipts are only for grocery
convenience and club stores I did try and scan like an advanced auto and a gas
station just to see what it would do it did not like those so since we're
talking about scanning why don't I show you what you have to do to scan all
right so here we have a dollar tree or a seat and we're just gonna pull that back
and bring this up a little closer so you to is you tap on the camera and you can
put the receipt in view and generally you're gonna want to see that green
border there now you can tell that I can't quite get the full dollar store
receipt in there and have it legible so you can do sections which I'm gonna do
just for the purposes of showing you so I'm gonna cut it off all right there tap
and if you need you can add up to four sections now I will say I was really
concerned about when I was doing sections how precise the section needed
to be and I have found it does not need to be terribly precise so don't worry if
you have any overlap so after we have our two sections and you can see up
there helps you kind of line it up a little bit once we're done we just hit
submit and this is a 50-50 if it'll actually go because I don't know if it
will take Dollar Tree and there you go it did so Dollar Tree counts good to
know and you saw how quickly that was able to process now I had read in the
past that it took longer for that to actually process but as you can see
there it processed nice and quick and you can select done or you can correct
your receipt if you needed to all right we're just going to bring that back in
and we're going to move on to rewards so the rewards is why you're scanning
all of these receipts I will say that when you first sign up it does ask you a
lot of personal information such as you know date of birth age gender things of
that nature because think of this as one of like the
club cards you are part of a database and that's how you get the deals because
they know hey this information is valuable to other people same thing with
this you're agreeing pretty much to giving them data but in return they give
you electronic gift cards now here you can see they do break them down into
categories and they do have quite a bit of categories huh so if we came over to
office supplies you can see here's a bunch for staples now not all the
categories are limited to just one vendor here you've got Petco and then
1-800 pet supplies now this is one of the reasons I like this app and I
was happy my friend showed it to me is because of the plethora of like trying
to gift cards that you can get up here it will show you your total balance you
also have choices of selecting points so in my case I have 2300 points so I don't
quite have enough but if I wanted to base it on how many points I have if I
did this 1,000 points you can enter a raffle now this is where things get a
little iffy they are a little spammy when it comes to these raffle options
you know kind of sent me a bunch of notifications hey you could do this you
could do this make your points go farther
I really wish they wouldn't do that quite as much but that's a small factor
to consider coming over here choose 3000 well I am almost on my way to all of
these vendors and I kind of like how they show you the progression but you
have Amazon target now Dunkin' some vendors are limited to specific area so
you're not going to see like a AMC Theatres in the $3 or one dollar area
but as you progress you can kind of see those and if you were in the categories
and under electronics you can see here is Best Buy $5 $10 Dell 25 best buy 25
best buy 50 so they do have things that cross all of the
different categories now my rewards this is to show you that I have tested this
at two locations I did get a digital Amazon gift card what you can see there
is only good online and then I got a Bed Bath and Beyond which was good both in
store and in person now you can see this one has what has been marked as used
while this one is still marked as unused even though I had used it but I wanted
to be able to show you that by tapping that you can mark it as used what that
allow you to do is if you wanted to you could purchase with rewards a whole
bunch of the cards and not use them right away
but it works in store and it works online I tested it twice so that's ten
dollars in rewards and part of that is due to the fact that I had extra bonus
points and sign ons and things of that nature
the last is this me area and me will show you your phone number what you do
have to attach because they do send you a code and your email address it shows
you your current points that is a picture of you that you could edit here
is the referral code information I'll put that in the description area below
talk about that a minute so you have help center rate the app and settings
all your get in settings is logging out so log app the referral code if you use
it when you sign up for such rewards here it gives you anywhere between $1 to
$3 depending on what's special they're running so the person who's code use
gets whatever numerical value and then you get the numerical value so it really
helps to find somebody's code and use it so I will link mine in the description
area below so if you wanted to you could use it when you sign up for this app and
I do recommend that you use this particular app because you know what for
the extra effort of having to scan a receipt you get money back really so
it's I use my cash back credit card and this so it's like I'm double dipping so
I'm really happy that my friend showed this to me which is why I want to share
with all of you guys so I highly recommend the fetch app it is available
for both iOS and Android this is the Android variant so I have been Wanderer001
