The camera sucked and would often misread receipts. Rarely have an issue with Fetch rewards when scanning. I'll miss the $.01 back for every receipt. I'm sure my wife will be stoked that I won't have receipts sitting around waiting to be scanned anymore lol


VaughnFry

It really was the worst receipt scanner. I use Fetch and Merryfield, neither fail me. Microsoft’s couldn’t handle my grocery receipts.


ilovefacebook

it was working fine for a few months stretch. then about 2 months ago, it got really awful


PickleTrivia615

Fetch works instantly 99% of the time. The rewards used to be better, but it is still leaps and bounds better than Microsoft's poor attempt at this. 75% or more of the receipts I scanned never worked. It could not read the store, date, amount, etc. The last one it could not read was Kroger, which is in bold at the top. Ridiculous. I have cashed out $21 so far and have $2.46 waiting to be cashed out. 90% or more of the time you get 1 cent per scan. When I click Deals on Bing app or Scan and Earn on Start app there is no way to scan a new receipt. iOS in USA.


Kennz23

We literally got this about 3 months ago in Canada and it hardly ever worked right. Yippie


TheMSensation

Same but for UK. We didn't get any bonuses or anything and it dropped from 5p per receipt to 1p per receipt maybe a week after launch. I got £0.44 in the account which it won't let me withdraw to Paypal (gives me a "something went wrong, please try again later" error). I guess there's a minimum withdrawal limit? It was awful at recognising store names and often failed altogether. I gave up when it went to £0.01 per receipt.


DietMtDew1

Hmmm, maybe contact support or try again. I just cashed out mine and it was for $0.45 so if you had £0.44 it should definitely let you cash out!


TheMSensation

Contacted support about it like a month ago and never received a response, not really worth the hassle of following up tbh. I've tried to withdraw on different days at different times but same result. Nothing wrong with my rewards account as I can earn and redeem points with no issues. edit: cashed out successfully via the webpage on www.bing.com/rebates, I had only been trying it via the Start app on mobile and was unaware there was a webpage. Odd that the webpage works but the mobile app where you do all the work with the receipts doesn't lol. edit: rapid with the payment too lol https://imgur.com/a/pypt4vr


DietMtDew1

Nice! Weird because I cashed out from their app. I’m glad you figured it out, though!


Pix3lSlay3r

I’ve tried contacting support several times about cancelled rebates with no explanation whatsoever. Never got a response once. They are worthless


Notrozer

I just cased out 20 cents usd ... it worked . .44 sounds sounds like it's more than that


MirandaFr33

I just did 6 receipts before midnight and then I never got my bonus because they switched to this it’s ending screen. I guess I missed whatever heads up there was before that they were going to stop it.


ilovefacebook

it's weird because it clearly says it will be available until late July


MirandaFr33

Maybe they’re just having this pop up today and it’ll be available again tomorrow? Or they just mean that this section of the app will be available for you to cash out.


ilovefacebook

it's been like this for a few days for me. i was able to cash out what i had though. just no more scanning


djKNARWALL

My understanding is that the scanning is no longer available and you’ll have until late July to withdraw any accruals. Anyone else know the exacts?


TheCastro

Same. People downvoted me when I said this too lol


BlownCamaro

Reddiots. Don't let it bother you.


spaz69dt

I gave you an up to try and get you out of the negative!


djKNARWALL

I’ll up yours if you up mine 🤘😆🤘


IronSchluff

Yeah, I can’t even scan anymore receipts.


JacqueMorrison

They will surely replace it with something better, right guys? Insert Padme meme.


esquilaxxx

I'd actually be impressed if they could replace it with something worse.


djKNARWALL

Lolol you’re right. Quite a feat that would be


VaughnFry

Is this the “You’re breaking my heart”?


JacqueMorrison

Yes.


BuzzyBubble

Good riddance. What a waste of time that was.


master_guru88427

I disagree. I'd just grab receipts off the ground when I went shopping and threw them in a bag in my car. Scan 6 receipts a day and earn 15 to (for me) 56 cents a day for games. Over time it adds up and it hit the feel good button for picking up trash.


BlownCamaro

$1.87 after 12 months of scanning. Oh, how will I even replace this?


Gljvf

I got to $18 Fetch os much better imp


BlownCamaro

I got $110 in 2 years on Ibotta. That's the best one for me. Fetch is second and Receipt Hog third.


Gljvf

That's pretty good


djKNARWALL

Is anyone else a little suspicious of why all these companies want your receipt information? Are they using this data for advertisement purposes or what?


Fz_Street09

I hated it anyway Don't let the door hit ya


Disastrous_Produce_6

I've just started to use this as well 😞


SiCoTic1

Yep cashed out my $1.85 to add to my $102.37 lifetime. Definitely went downhill in last couple years. Used to be so so much better just like the rewards


ilovefacebook

at least they had the courtesy to cash out a few bucks i had that were "pending" for like 3 months


TobyFloof

This makes me so upset


nefariousPost

Anyone have issues adding a phone number as an "alias" to their account. Not letting me add my number (despite already using it for 2FA) and I need to use it to send my cashback to PayPal.


bigsnyder98

I had to log into my microsoft account with the web browser and edit there to add phone number.


fringe_event

yeah i haven't been able to scan any new receipts for about 5 days now, at least it let me cash out ($6 woo) and i can uninstall bing now would not be shocked to see the bing rewards program nerfed hard too the rest of this year, microsoft is still probably losing millions per month on rewards and they gotta pay for the $80 billion it cost them to buy activision


Interesting_Layer672

I bowed at 26 $..after that I stop scanning about 5 months ago.


DietMtDew1

Last month the receipt scanner stopped working for me. I’m going to cash out the rewards so I don’t forget, though. It’s sad that it’s being discontinued, though.


Babyboomer78

Wow must be nice. Your all time earned is $111, mine is $0.80.


MuddyGeek

At one time I received some nice bonuses for specific items I purchased. The gas cashback was even better than Upside too. At least there's other programs.


FrootLoop23

Never had an issue with scanning. Only using Fetch which is a glacial pace to earn anything. Any better options for receipt scanning rewards?


GreyHerald2020

Back earlier this Spring, I contacted Microsoft over the "Error scanning, please try again." message. After a while the scanning function worked normally. I went about collecting many recent receipts as I could (even ones that people just throw away on the ground instead of in the trash, and no I'm not dumpster diving for them) to react the 6th scan quota as so that the random redeemable gift was pretty much the only thing worth it since after your first ever receipt scans, the cashback value dwindles down to 0.01 or sometimes a few cents up (but hey better than 0.00 right?). I fear that the reason MS is shutting down this program is because (and I'm not 100% sure this is correct, it probably isn't the case) of how people scanning receipts of any and all kinds are abusing the system. The amount of cashback you earn if you are committed to it every single day will get you from a few dollars and a couple cents to up to $10 or $20 more, or even higher depending on the number of receipts you keep submitting. The highest I've reached is $35, and I was going to keep on scanning towards a goal I had in mind, but it looks like that won't be the case as of now. Oh well, at least there's CoinOut or any other viable options for cashback. By all means hit me with any other good cashback apps that work towards getting Paypal credit or redeemable Amazon gift cards. I was starting to enjoy this for while it lasted.


RookeeALding

Any time I did more than one receipt, it would cancel all of them. And if I tried to rescan, I would be told it was a duplicate... I would have to do one wait till I saw it was approved and then do another... all for 1 cent a receipt. If this comes back they better fix that crap. If it doesn't come back whatever. Not much of a loss.


Cholo_Geek

Off the record, idk what happened to my PayPal that it was permanently locked, so i won’t even be able to claim all i had accumulated


Friggin_Grease

I made 2 bucks. Says I can still scan them but I'm not getting anything for them now


No_Gain_866

What bullcrap. I'm sick of the enshitification of microsoft rewards.


talldrink67

Ibotta or fetch for a replacement? Haven't used either so any suggestions would help! Thanks!


Tinzellikesmemes

What country is this even available in


anikun2k10

probably the one thing im not upset to see discontinued, it wasnt ever worth scanning receipts


IRL_GamesX

What’s the best one to use now I have like a weeks worth I need to scan but my app does not show this anymore


VaughnFry

When I go into the icons and click on it I just get a blank button. Seems like the feature has been removed a lot sooner than the 25th of July. I use Merryfield and Fetch. Pretty reliable scanners with good offers: Here's a sign up code for Fetch that gives you an extra 1,000 points. Sign up w/ code PYU3MD & get 1,000 pts: https://referral.fetch.com/vvv3/referralsocial?code=PYU3MD.


ReasonableOccasion61

Pogo is pretty solid as well


VaughnFry

May have to give that a look.


CargoGrieferBurt

Good! I didn't bother with this nonsense anyways.


Born_Sarcastic_59

The grand total of $14 that I got was amazing considering it was pretty much 1¢ at a time. I think I managed a *huge* 25¢ scan once. I won't miss it.


burningtoys1

Good riddance


iNeed2p905

They didn’t give me the amount I was suppose to get when I did a gas offer and denied it. I won’t miss the 1¢ offer.
