What Receipt Pal does

Receipt Pal is a free app for iPhone and Android from The NPD Group that rewards you for sharing receipts for market research. Four valid receipts fill one point card worth 100 points, and points go toward gift cards from stores like Amazon, Walmart and Target.

Four valid receipts fill a point card worth 100 points
Paper receipts plus email and Amazon linking
Gift cards from big retailers
Weekly bonus sweepstakes for every valid receipt
Arcade games for extra points

Receipt Pal works like a punch card. Snap paper receipts in the app, or connect an email account and your Amazon account so online orders come in too. Every four valid receipts fill one green point card, and each full card is worth 100 points.

Points go toward gift cards from retailers like Amazon, Visa, Walmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowe's. Each valid receipt also enters you into weekly bonus sweepstakes, and an arcade section pays extra points for trying free games.

The app is upfront that receipts are collected for market research, and it's run by The NPD Group, a research company. The listing doesn't say what the smallest gift card costs in points, and rewards build slowly, so it works best as a background habit rather than something you watch closely.
