Go Fetch Your Receipt
Fetch is a free app for both iPhone and Android users. The app lets you gain money by shopping, after shopping Fetch allows you to earn money back from certain products. Fetch also allows you to earn points, and with the points you can earn gift cards.
Fetch was created in 2013 by Wes Schroll. Schroll has always wanted to start a business since he was 14 years old. Schroll made his company his sophomore year of college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Fetch lets you earn money when you scan a receipt. Fetch also has different deals, for example, if you sign up for Blue Apron you can earn 20,00 points.
A pro to Fetch is earning points to get gift cards from your receipts. Fetch is available on all devices and both Android and iPhone. Fetch is mainly targeted towards teens and adults. Fetch lets you spend money, but also lets you earn some money back through the app.
A con to Fetch is you end up spending more money to get a gift card, when it would be cheaper to buy a gift card. Fetch also makes you think you are getting a gift card for free when you really spent about $100 for a $25 gift card. Another con to Fetch is that once someone scanned the receipt no one else can. So if your mom wanted to scan your receipt and you did as well, it would only let one person, since it can remember receipts from other people within the last 5 minutes.
Overall Fetch is a great app to use if you want to gain money after shopping, even though the app has upsides and downsides, the app is definitely worth trying. If interested in getting the app it is available on google play and app store. The app is completely free with no fees for using it.
