Free digital gift cards for photos of itemized receipts??? Real?

[kacollie]

One of my friends seen an add for this on Facebook, seems too good to be true? Free amazon, walmart and starbucks gift cards for taking photos of receipts? So what's stopping me from taking photos of anyones receipts?

It's called Frezy Rewards, odd name.

I did some digging and something like this exists in the U.S. but it isn't available in Canada yet called Receipt Hog.

Anyone else think this is a scam? I can't find much about it online. Would be awesome if it was legit, but how on earth could they make money? Could be an early Christmas!

I posted this on the site previously, but in the wrong spot I think? #NEWB

I'd place my bet on "Not real."

Hey Mulock, I was born in halifax! Thanks for the feedback, yeah it seems they are in collecting email mode. I'm hoping it's for an actual product launch eventually. I use this other app called Drop Loyalty, which seems similar, but it takes a while to accumulate points and it asks you to login with your banking info, which is a littttttle bit personal.

I would never provide my banking info to a company/etc that I am not familiar with. Too risky.

Yeah I was a little hesitant too at first too, but the rewards are pretty good. In a year, I've already received $60 worth of Amazon gift cards, while not really changing my spending habits.

No its not a good deal.. @tricksbite .. if they are giving you amazon gift cards why would they need to know your banking info..
