Snapcart PH: How I Earned Php 750 from my Grocery Receipts

This post is long overdue and the reason for that is I want to make sure it’s legit before I start recommending it to others. Now that I got my first cashout deposited to my account, I can now safely post about…

**drumroll***

SNAPCART!

1. What is it? 

Snapcart is a mobile app both available for Android and Apple users. It provides shoppers cashback just by snapping receipts.

2. Steps to using Snapcart

First of all, i-download mo muna, bes. 🙂 Go to app store and search “snapcart”. Download then create an account and complete your profile info. The homepage will show your name, cashback balance, status and your level. ‘Pag every week ka nagsa-snap ng receipts, maglelevel up ka. Kapag nag level up ka, tataas din ang multiplier ng cashback mo. Kung ‘di ka nakasnap at least once a week, rank down ka.

3. How to earn cash using Snapcart

You earn cash by regularly snapping receipts, yan ang una. The app is like Instagram – you take a photo of the receipt, upload it, wait for it to be reviewed and a few days after, you’ll be notified if your receipt is either accepted or rejected.

LEFT: The amount of cashback you get per receipt. The amount goes up kasabay ng pagtaas ng rank mo. RIGHT: The bonus features are for you to either get more points, more cashback or Zalora voucher that you can use for your purchase.

But wait, there’s more! May mga pakulo din si Snapcart. May bonus features sya where you can take surveys, selfies, watch videos or join the pro-hunt (never tried it) in order to get more coins. Coins are different from cashback. Para saan ang coins? Gagamitin para makapaglaro sa Snaptastic where you can win either more coins, Zalora voucher points and or peso cashbacks.

4. How to cash out?
You can cash out and have your balance sent to your bank account which will take 1-2 weeks to complete (ung 1st attempt ko, 1 month kong hinintay kasi daw BPI ung card na inenroll ko so I tried my Unionbank card, nadeposit din ang Php 480 pesos after 1 week!). Or you can also cash out via mobile load (mas mabilis).

Minimum balance to withdraw:
-For bank transfers, the lowest amount you can deposit is Php 200 (may fee na 20 pesos)
-For mobile load, 50 pesos dapat + 5 pesos fee.

My first Snapcart Cashback deposited to my account. Yay!

As for my experience, I’ve already had Php 480 deposited to my bank account once from Snapcart. And I also had my phone loaded for Php 50 once via Snapcart because of my cashback points. Right now, I have Php 200+ and still snapping. I’m planning to wait for another Php 500 para mapadeposit uli.

Be careful, though, Maan of The Joyful Mess said bigla nalang daw nawala ang info, points at lahat sa Snapcart nya. Unfortunately, mukhang walang natulong ang customer service to retrieve her info. So we’re not sure what happened.

5. What type of receipts does Snapcart accept? 

-Groceries
-Cosmetics
-Drugs with clear description
-and moooore!

Check the FAQ part in the app for more info on how you can maximize the app. Check their website for more info.

LEFT: My receipt history. I have a lot of rejected ones (mga blurry, di accepted, etc). RIGHT: My cashout history – 1 REJECTED (when I used my BPI family card, 2 COMPLETE – 1 for a 50-peso load and 1 for a 500 cash deposit.

6. My Snapcart PH Personal Experience

Medyo nawalan ako ng gana last month nung 1-month mahigit kong inantay ang cashback ko. Kahit maliit lang kasi, pinaghirapan ko yun. The problem was ung card na inenroll ko is BPI Family pero ang nilagay ko sa app is BPI. The money was returned after more than a month and I updated my bank info. I used my Unionbank account instead and I got my cashback (less Php 20 processing fee) after a week.

Here’s the Snapcart logo in case you decide to download it 🙂

I started using this app in November 2016. I do my groceries bi-weekly and usually, I just spend 1,600 – 2,000 pesos per groceries. This doesn’t include Nate’s vitamins which I buy every two months. So if you spend more on groceries than me, mas mabilis ka makakapag-ipon ng cashback.

Don’t expect a lot of money here, this is just a small additional cash for you. After all, sa’n ka pa makakakuha ng Php 700 galing sa resibo, ‘di ba?

Where did I get the Php 750?
500 -transferred to my bank account.
55 – load transfer
215 – current balance (so 770 pala, hehe)

Edit to add: Dapat 3 days old ang receipts nyo. Any receipts after that, wala ng value. Happy snapping!

Have you tried Snapcart before, how was it?

 

POST UPDATE 3/14/2019:

Hi all! I feel the need to update this post because Snapcart PH no longer gives cashback for every receipt you upload. Before, it was always cash for every single uploaded receipt. Just recently, Snapcart PH changed its policy – you can only give POINTS on every receipt you upload now. No more cashback. So how to get cash via Snapcart? You have to play the Snaptastic – that is the only way now to get cash. And we’re not talking about a big amount of cash here, we’re talking about a few pesos only. Am I unhappy with this policy change? Yes, I am. Am I upset? No, I’m not. It’s their company decision, we have no choice but to abide by its rules. I don’t think it’s worth my time anymore though, so right now, I am thinking about uninstalling the app. Not sure yet, we’ll see.

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. Just sharing my experience on the app. Well, I did hope it is sponsored but, unfortunately, it’s not. lol.
PS: Snapcart is only available in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
