Turn a photo of your receipt into an Amazon gift card
Every time you spend money at major retailers this holiday season — whether you’re buying groceries, gifts, or decor — there’s an app that lets you earn gift cards from pictures of your receipts.
All you need is your phone and the Fetch app. After you're done shopping, just snap a photo of your receipt. Your photo earns points. Then you can redeem those points for gift cards at popular stores like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot.
Shopping online? No problem. Fetch works with eReceipts too!
BONUS: You'll get 2,000 points bonus when you enter this referral code: BUZZ before you scan your first receipt.
