ReceiptPal

ReceiptPal is a mobile app that rewards users for taking photos of their shopping receipts. Owned by the NPD Group, a major market research firm, the app collects purchase data to analyze consumer trends. Unlike some apps that require specific products, ReceiptPal accepts receipts from almost any retailer, including gas stations and convenience stores.

Users fill up "Point Cards" by snapping photos; once a card is full, they earn points. These points can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards. It is a legitimate and simple way to earn a little extra money from paper receipts that would otherwise be thrown away.
