Doesn’t Even Recognize Items Purchased

2022-05-21

I get most of my items with the Box Tops in 1 monthly purchase from a retailer that seeks things in bulk sizes. The packaging says they are eligible items, they’ve always had multiple of the printed Box Tops in the past. The retailer is supposed to be a recognized one. There was even a bonus for th...

So much for boxtops!

2022-06-22

For one, it takes 10 times as much work because you have to sooth the receipt, tape it down, and take pictures in sections, only to have it NOT RECOGNIZE a date or store or something and you have to redo it. And that’s only if you actually remember to hurry up and scan the receipt before you forget... Show more

Not mom or kid friendly, breach of privacy

2022-07-23

If there is a long receipt, the items won’t scan due to the fact that the date must be shown. In addition, I saved a receipt, went on vacation, and when I scanned it the receipt expired (must scan within 14 days). That’s if I even remember where I put the receipt and if I made a mental note at t... Show more

Supporting student involvement

2022-08-24

I am a loyal supporter of the BTFE program and have been through 3 children and 7 grandchildren. However,I am really disappointed in this approach to supporting education. I have always nurtured a learning opportunity while partnering in this program. From choosing foods at the grocery store and... Show more

Needs a lot of work

2022-09-25

I get why every program is trying to go digital but this just isn’t the program to do it with. It usually doesn’t work, giving me errors such as “No date shown receipt” when it’s in plain view or saying there aren’t any box tops rewards when there clearly were (sometimes multiple). I’ve had to re-... Show more

Doesn’t recognize purchases

2022-10-26

Hardly ever recognizes purchases on printed receipts (when I actually get those). It had an option to click report missed earnings which I went through all those steps and still never got them. Many of us now shop online with pick up and we can’t upload those receipts. Forwarding the email of those... Show more

Harmful, inequitable data grab

2022-11-27

Moving from box clippings to receipt scanning is a blatantly inequitable change designed to gather data about consumers and exclude the very families from participating whose schools likely need the BTFE money the most.

Technology and opportunity gaps, combined with the possibility of a data... Show more

Can’t even sign up!

2022-12-28

I see that many people are having problems submitting receipts. I’m having problems just creating an account. Now it won’t even let me create an account because it now says my email is already signed up. But when I try to login with info that I tried to sign up with, the login fails and says to ...

Hardly ever get any $$

2023-01-29

Compared to the old method, I feel like I earn way less for our schools. BoxTops was great in the beginning, but now it barely or never recognizes legitimate box tops. This program, I fear, is near its end.

Also, it’s really unfair that because my daughter’s school shares the same build... Show more

Not convenient

2023-03-02

New and limited edition items are not added to BoxTops in a timely manner (or at all for some seasonal items, apparently), yet receipts have to be scanned within a few days. Also not every store offers an itemized receipt (such as the local deli where I buy a lot of cereal). There needs to be a b... Show more

My contributions don’t match my earnings to the school...

2023-03-31

I’ve contributed about $3 and change since I started using BoxTops , but my lifetime earnings show up as $2.40. I’m hoping BoxTops update fixes this. I wonder how many schools have the wrong amount donated? Also I consistently have to resend in my digital receipts in order for them to be counted. ... Show more

Digital Program Roll Out Needs Improvements

2023-05-02

I liked the traditional clip system much better! There aren’t as many digital product offerings as there were before with the clip system. :(
BoxTops and digital system is not user friendly which is why I stopped using it several years ago before the clip system was unfortunately discontinued... Show more

Disappointed in this app

2023-06-02

I liked clipping and taping better. At least my kids got credit for their own box tops that way. Here in BoxTops it’s just a free for all for each school. I see the star where you can credit people but that only works for in store receipts and not digital receipts. Digital receipts are a PITA beca... Show more

They need to work out the bugs...

2023-07-04

Now that most of the box tops have transitioned to being digital, I decided to download the box tops for education app. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work very well. I’m not sure what is causing these issues, but it is very frustrating to not get credit for items with the digital box tops. On a couple ... Show more

Easy to use except with electronic receipts

2023-08-04

I like this new way to earn box tops for my school because I don’t have to stop and cut them from boxes and remember to take them to the teacher but I order my groceries to be delivered and as easy as it is to submit a picture of a paper receipt I don’t like that I have to email BTFE to get credit ... Show more

Okay - could be better

2023-09-05

BoxTops has been good. I like being able to designate a class for earnings to go to for school competitions- not sure if my school knows how to look at this though. Also nice to be able to change schools from receipt to receipt to divide earnings for more than one school. Receipts are easy to scan... Show more

Quick and Easy

2023-10-07

There has been a lot of skepticism with the new digital box tops program, but I’ve adjusted my routine (scanning the receipt when I unpack groceries) and I’ve found it to be a quick and easy way to earn money for my kids’ school. There are some kinks to work out, but any time I’ve had a problem B... Show more

Like it but could be improved

2023-11-07

Overall I like the concept of BoxTops and the ease of BoxTops . I’m not sure why there is a “14” day time frame. Sometimes you have a receipt you forgot about and left in your purse or wallet for a couple weeks. One major improvement I’d like to see is scanning large paper sized (8.5x 11) papers. ... Show more

Easy to use and I love knowing I’m helping kids and teachers

2023-12-09

I love using box tops because I knowing I’m helping the kids, the teachers, the school (White Rock Jane, Missouri) and future students. I love the whole concept of helping others out..especially kids!!!! My boys are grown but I remember when box tops first started I was the one who sent off for the... Show more

Scan vs. On products

2024-01-09

I Love the this app program as it gives schools an opportunity to earn extra money for things they could not otherwise afford. I do however have a problem with them taking the this app off of products. A LOT of people do not have a way to scan receipts in to get points. I’m hearing a lot of c... Show more

Not impressed

2025-01-22

BoxTops keeps telling me I am submitting duplicate receipts when I am definitely not. I bought many boxes of Cheerios on the same day (30+), but for various reasons checked out separately, so had multiple receipts each with 5 boxes of cereal on it. BoxTops keeps telling me one of two things: “dup... Show more

Useless

2025-01-22

Update: I have had the opportunity to use BoxTops for several weeks, and I truly hope they scrap it. My prediction of it being a hassle is absolutely correct. It never seems to find all of the qualifying items, and sometimes still won’t give credit after the items have been reported. I will probab... Show more

Perfect way for school to Not earn more!

2025-01-22

I realize they are trying to keep up with the times, but this new app and scan program is just taking money from schools. What was once an easy way for family members to help my child’s school is now impossible because they do not have smart phones or tablets and they are not going g to send me rec... Show more

Disappointed in the change to digital

2025-01-22

At first I thought the digital option was neat, but then I realized it required a photo of the receipt. I pay digitally or order my groceries for pick up, both of which produce a digital receipt and nothing to scan. If I could upload a screenshot that may work, but it may be more the one screenshot...

Good purpose; app errors

2025-01-22

I love that these products are supporting our schools but I’ve had at least three errors with redeeming via BoxTops in just a few months of use. I’ve contacted this app at least twice, the first time they graciously credited my account with the info/pictures I sent, but this time they took a few ... Show more

Not liking the new scan only submissions

2025-01-22

This new system of having to scan receipts is really hurting our districts schools, as very few parents, students and contributors are participating any longer. It was a much more user friendly system of clipping and submitting the box tops to the school and resulted in collecting at least $1000 a ... Show more

The app is great, however... here’s a suggestion

2025-01-22

I love the idea of going digital. I have never had a problem with bugs or anything like that. However, I can’t help but feel like there were some things that weren’t thought of or thought through. For example, they make you choose one school to donate to, and that’s great if you only have one child... Show more

Pretty smooth

2025-01-22

I’m not normally one to adopt new technology quickly, but as a former teacher, I know how much needed money for supplies Box Tops for education has brought into the schools and I don’t want that opportunity to be lost. Scanning in the review is pretty easy- although it takes a minute or two, good e... Show more
