Receipt Hog

Receipt Hog is a popular mobile app that rewards users for uploading pictures of their shopping receipts. Owned by market research company Numerator, the app aggregates purchasing data to help brands understand consumer behavior. For the user, it is an effortless way to save money and earn rewards on shopping they are already doing. The app gamifies the experience with slots and levels, making the process of data entry engaging.

Users earn "coins" for every valid receipt from grocery stores, pharmacies, and other retailers. These coins can eventually be redeemed for real cash via PayPal or for Amazon gift cards. While it won't replace a full-time income, it is a legitimate and simple passive income tool for reducing the effective cost of household expenses. It requires no special skills other than remembering to snap a photo after shopping.
