I have been with receipt hog for a really long time and I've made around 20 dollars a year which is fine really. It had a lot of issues, claiming duplicate receipts, rejecting some very valid ones and increasing the payout requirements several times over the years but I never complained about that. This year i managed to refer a lot of people from my uni to sign up with my referrals and I managed to reach the $40 payout twice. On the 2nd time the redemption never came and my account was disabled.I contacted support and they straight up mentioned that I violated the terms and conditions by submitting fraudulent referrals. Keep in mind that I made sure that almost every single referral of mine was real on the spot to avoid this same exact scenario. I later realized that the highest payout is an illusion to bait and switch after selling your data. About a week later, I left a 1 star review on the app store to explain my situation and they replied to me and kept sticking to their story saying i was providing fraudulent referrals and ever since every single person I referred had their users disabled despite most not using the app since my referral. It's just a bait and switch method like the others have mentioned. Your data is valuable and avoid selling it to these cheap money grubbers.They just use automated replies to avoid confrontation like the one that will show up under this review ''As explained to you over email, your account goes against our Terms and Conditions. Thanks for understanding.'' I requested proof of my referrals being fraudulent and they just replied with an automated message about my account going against the terms and conditions ''Receipt Hog reward funds are generated by our ability to report on household spending habits. Without reliable data, we would not be able to reward users for their receipts. By protecting our data, we are also protecting our ability to reward. Please keep in mind that we reserve the right to revoke all earned funds when suspicious behavior is witnessed.'' No proof of suspicious behavior and no explanation over a 4 email discussion.
