    About 20 years ago I started doing one of these type advertising companies through the landline phone. I had to scan each item like at the grocery store and then take a picture of the receipt. I got less than $10 and they asked for their scanning device back. 😂 I haven’t done any since.

      They have improved. Now you just connect you grocery and drugstore accounts and it’s automatic. When your phone says, You got $0.05+, you just smile. Check once a month and cash out or gift card out in about a minute. Easy and fast!

    Thanks for the informative video. After watching this I've decided to delete the only receipt app that I use. That is the fetch one. I'm not good with keeping up with scanning the receipts, but mostly all the info mining just isn't worth the return to me. I'm like you and shop very frugally. The points I do have, have been very slow adding up. I'll cash those out, and be finished with these kinds of apps.

    I don't understand why people recommend these apps to earn money from to help you pay down debt. They aren't worth it.

    • @Homegrown_Hillary
      @Homegrown_Hillary  2 місяці тому +3

      Most, I’d agree, aren’t worth it for anyone. But people have different circumstances. If someone is on disability and food stamps for example, even a few extra dollars can really help.

      Sorry if that came across as I was aiming it at you. I honestly just stumbled across your channel last night and found this helpful as I had never heard of a couple you reviewed. My frustration is more with the apps and some of the big names that recommend them. I hadn't looked at it from that lense though.

      But I know what you mean about people who just hawk any and all apps trying to make a quick buck themselves, and the expense of mostly desperate people. Super frustrating.

      I use Checkout 51 just for gas (gas offers are in the Extras section of the app). They typically offer more cash back per gallon in my area than Upside does. Before I buy gas, I check both apps and then use the one with the best deal that day. However, I know this is location dependent. When I visit my mom in another state, none of the local gas stations partner with Checkout 51 but many partner with Upside.
