Receipt Hog: Cash for Receipts

The Receipt Hog application is a consumer market research and rewards platform operated by Market Track, LLC dba Numerator. The application operates by crowdsourcing longitudinal omni-channel consumer purchasing data. By incentivizing consumers to digitize and submit purchase receipts across virtually all everyday retail categories, the platform compiles anonymized market intelligence for consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers and retail brands.

Technically, Receipt Hog utilizes an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing pipeline. Users photograph physical paper receipts using the in-app camera viewfinder, which captures and extracts the merchant name, purchased items, transactional subtotals, dates, and payment identifiers. To capture digital commerce alongside brick-and-mortar receipts, the application supports direct email synchronization and loyalty account linking with major digital merchants such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Costco. This omni-channel architecture enables passive background receipt aggregation alongside active photo uploads.

The reward mechanics within the application employ a tiered and gamified incentive structure. Receipts from coin-eligible merchants (e.g., grocers, supermarkets, drugstores) earn base coins scaled according to transaction dollar volume, with typical thresholds ranging from 5 coins for transactions under $10 to 20 coins for receipts exceeding $100.

Receipts from other retail categories (e.g., apparel, electronics, dining) award bonus spins on the in-app "Hog Slots" virtual slot machine or entries into monthly cash prize sweepstakes. Users can supplement their earnings by completing targeted demographic and behavioral surveys generated from their specific purchase history. Accumulated coins can be converted into tangible rewards, including direct PayPal cash distributions, prepaid Visa debit cards, or Amazon gift cards.
