How to Earn Cash Back on Groceries With Fetch Rewards

Fetch Rewards is a free app that pays you points for scanning grocery receipts from almost any store. You earn points on name-brand products you already buy — no coupons to clip, no shopping at specific stores, and no changing your habits required. Points accumulate and can be redeemed for gift cards to Amazon, Target, Walmart, restaurants, and hundreds of other retailers.

The concept is straightforward: after any grocery shopping trip (or purchase from gas stations, pet stores, hardware stores, or dozens of other qualifying store types), open Fetch and scan your receipt. Fetch reads the products, matches them to participating brands, and awards points.

Most brand-name food and household products earn some points. Special "Featured Offers" earn more — typically 500-2,500 points for buying a specific product. Points for a single receipt average around 50-300 for typical shopping, plus extras from featured offers. 3,000 points = a $3 gift card, so regular shoppers might earn $10-15 in gift cards per month.

Unlike Ibotta (which requires selecting specific offers before you shop), Fetch works retroactively — just scan after shopping. The receipt can be from today or up to 14 days ago. You can scan receipts from multiple stores from the same day.

The app works with receipts from Walmart, Kroger, Safeway, Costco, Target, CVS, Walgreens, grocery delivery orders, and virtually any US retailer. Email receipts from online orders can also be linked.

Fetch has over 17 million active users and has paid out over $1 billion in rewards — it's a legitimate, established app, not a scam.
