CoinOut: Receipts for Rewards Reviews

So I as told by customer service that if “accidentally” loaded a receipt that was already uploaded your account would b deleted because it’s considered a duplicate receipt. I get that if it’s already been uploaded that it’s a duplicate but sometimes you forget that you’ve already uploaded it like me for instance because I have more than one app. That’s extreme and ridiculous. If your app was designed correctly like the other receipt apps then it can automatically decline or void invalid receipts according to your rules or receipt requirements like ReceiptPal or receipt hog !!!!!! So that is absolutely ridiculous that you would punish someone for accidentally uploading receipts that they had already uploaded. No one is trying to cheat the system. But sometimes you just lose track when trying to keep track of things. And just because your algorithm or app is inferior to others who designed theirs to take care of that instead of PUNISHING your customer base, well again I say that kind of stupid. 🙄And you have terrible customer service and I don’t care if you are a small business. Thanks. Make a better app!!!

Also you might wanna make a way to upload LONGER receipts. 🙄👌completely inferior app to others out there. Don’t waste your time download ReceiptPal or receipt hog!!!

Not to mention there’s no way of seeing old receipts!!!

Not happy with CoinOut, I worked for months to reach $20, went to cash out and now my account has been blocked, I e-mailed CS and they replied it has been blocked because of multiple duplicate receipts and would reopen my account and deduct awards of those duplicates, if I abide by the rules. this is BS! If I’ve uploaded duplicate receipts then it was not intentional, as CoinOut has no way of checking if a receipt has already been uploaded, also CoinOut doesn’t work well, every time I scan a receipt there was no way of telling if the receipt had been accepted as I was not credited any amount, so I would scan it again and sometimes a third time before it would credit me. Then when I finally reach to where I could cash out that’s when my account was blocked, i sent a reply to CS explaining why I thought there might of been issues with app and apologized for the accidental duplicate receipts I have not heard another word from them. After reading other reviews sounds like I’m not the only one with these issues.

Coin star -iPhone series app- is still semi-new of an experience to me personally, but so far, I’m seeming to keep interested in its features and am curious or and curious or daily about the cash out realism and about the possible available programs and couponing etcetera listed within CoinOut ; these also including the earnabke badges within the this app App’s homepage display of a two option rewards benefit choosing for earning more coinage reward points through activities you may partake in outside of CoinOut such as, buying brownie brittle if a certain brand for $0.75 off each bag of the product and in return also receiving a certain dollar amount for reward incentive of points gained just because you purchased a weekly sponsored grocery product!(: All similar product offerings found to be listed upon the sites options of availability for extracurricular reward point earning tasks

I downloaded CoinOut several months ago and began having issues the first time I tried to cash out about 7$ at most. Transaction never went through so I ended up taking the money in the form of a gift card which wasn’t a big deal but I’ve had nothing but problems with CoinOut and their lies and scams. CoinOut offers “Badges” for completing certain tasks which depending on the offer can be anywhere from 5$ to 30$. I completed an offer badge for a $30 bonus from this app for opening a checking account with a specific bank through the link in CoinOut and was supposed to receive my $30 bonus within a day or two of the opening deposit going through. Needless to say it’s been over a month now and I’ve gotten nothing but the run around while trying to contact their support team for an explanation. If you’re trying to make a few bucks uploading receipt images then fine you might get lucky and receive 5 or 10 dollars but DO NOT do any of this badge offers because you will never receive what you’re promised after putting in effort on your part!!

If had had based my decision to use CoinOut on the reviews, I wouldn’t have bothered. But I’m glad I did. It’s obviously not making anyone rich, but I was buying everything on my receipts anyway, not to specifically get money back from an app. So, if it’s $.1 or $.25, either way it’s more than nothing. And like I said, I was buying this crap anyway. I don’t understand complaining about the amount? It’s not like I have to keep the receipts...I scan them and toss them. Nothing changes at all. Except I get a couple more pennies than I had before. No one promised to make you rich this way. It’s just a little more than you had before. So, I mean......Thank you. No complaints here.

Earning change just for shopping is an interesting concept, but it may take you forever to realize any benefits. If you’re looking for more of a rewards program, it might make sense to use a store’s specific loyalty program. And that’s fair as I don’t believe this app positioned themselves as being the same as Rakuten or a similar program. However, it’s hard for me to get excited about CoinOut when what you earn seems like it’s assigned without any sort of methodology at all.

The interface is easy enough to use, and it looks like they’re making a few updates so it’s not completely bare bones. It would be fantastic to include more self-serve options within CoinOut . Otherwise you can email support, but in my experience it took around 10 days and follow up on my part to even get a response that wasn’t automated.

When I first started using CoinOut 2 years ago it was great, you received some type of monetary credit with every receipt up to 14 receipts a day, then a few months ago they changed it to only allowing 2 receipts a day unless you connect your email to their app so they can scan your emails for receipts…..no I’m not doing that. I emailed the company letting them know I felt like them having access to my emails was a privacy issue and now it won’t allow me to scan receipts at all so now I’ve emailed the company again and sending screenshots of CoinOut issues I’m having. Really sad I’m gonna end up deleting CoinOut & losing any money I’ve earned in it.
Update: now they say I can’t scan at all unless I allow email access so they can scan my email, NO! I’M NOT DOING THAT this app!! contacted their customer service got terrible crappy help, I’m done it’s deleted good luck to anyone who tries it.
Wish there was a 0 star option !!!!

I used to be so excited to take pictures of receipt that I had accumulated through your the day as I work for Instacart & get to save the receipts from my orders I complete. Once I tried to cash out & a pop up came on my screen saying that the banking cash out was not an option.. so I tried pay pal a week later after getting more $ & it said that I had to have atleast $20.. Also, recently they changed how many receipts you can scan a day.. only 2?! This will take forever but I can’t stop now because I’m so close I just hope it will actually let me & not need an email to be linked because I tried that once to unlock more receipts to scan a day & I realized that they want your email & password so that they can get into it.. beware & make sure that you are not using an important email only use a new one or an old junk email that has no info that they can use against you.

Let it be known, I’m no bot! Haha. I got CoinOut maybe 2 months ago, but I didn’t want to leave a review until I try CoinOut out to the fullest (meaning I rack up some cash and successfully cash it out into my pocket). I made $10 by scanning receipts alone. CoinOut is definitely not a scam. But it does take time and consistency, and those cents will add up from 1 cent to 20 cents. Some reasons will give me 1 cent others maybe 7 cents or even 19 cents (which was the highest Ive ever gotten) it’s a great way to save money and get cashback on your receipts. Now, it’s not an overnight thing. You won’t make $10 in a day or two. It took me a few weeks just to make $10 but in the end its worth it and that’s cash in your pocket. Can I get an amen? Amen.

How can you punish your users for accidentally uploading a receipt twice when you don’t even provide a list of previously uploaded receipts? That’s a common mistake and seems like such a great way for you to not have to pay your users. Try reaching the $20 minimum without once accidentally uploading a receipt twice. Not to mention, there’s literally no rhyme or reason to the amount you’re paid for each receipt submitted. Compared to other similar apps, this one is just completely inferior- they accept e-receipts, but you must email it to them and if your receipt is long, they instruct you to try FOLDING it. There are plenty of existing apps that compensate you for uploading receipts - without having to risk the loss of your earnings due to a simple mistake - and that have all of the many features that this app is lacking.

Also, I am genuinely perplexed as to how CoinOut has 57 thousand reviews with a 4.7 rating.

CoinOut takes your purchases and turns them into cash. All you do is scan your receipts and instantly cash is added to your account balance which you can redeem for gift cards, transfer to your bank account, or donate to a charity. I was very skeptical at first but after trying for myself it’s an amazing app I recommend to everyone especially those with poor credit who can’t qualify for cash back credit cards. You now can get cash back more conveniently than credit card holders! No more being left out of the cash back circle! I will no longer tell cashiers they can keep the receipts. I’ll be scanning all of my receipts from now on. Awesome app!

I posted this same review in the Facebook group and the admins took it down and blocked me because i said CoinOut is slow and clunky and filled with bugs!! And thats the TRUTH!! But they want you to only post positive reviews saying CoinOut is the greatest thing ever when its NOT!! It constantly freezes up/ stalls and disconnects!! The more they add on things and upgrade the worse it gets!! Emails constantly disconnects.. Customer support ignores emails!! Cashouts used to be instant.. now they stay pending for 2-3 days!! And the minute you bring this up in the facebook group.. you will be blocked and kicked out!! They cant accept constructive criticism which is why i about a year or so their app will be irrelevant!! And rightfully so!! The want you to believe there app is all unicorns and rainbows!! When it really is TRASH!! Lets see if the admins can get THIS review comment taken down!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUG RIDDEN.. CRAPPY APP!!

CoinOut is awesome! I scan every receipt I have & I get a few cents for each one! The amount you get for each receipt is randomized & you can only scan 7-8 receipts per day but it’s fun and definitely worth it! You can cash out on PayPal once you reach $20. I haven’t had any issues with cashing out; it took a few days for it to be approved and it is as simple as that! I’ve made sure to keep the receipts I’ve scanned & haven’t scanned yet in different piles, and even if I scanned a receipt 2x (which happened once) I can just delete the duplicate one- you can always look back & delete any duplicate receipts yourself. Great app, definitely recommend!

I’ve been doing this since the end of May 2018, and I had accumulated a little over $18. I decided to do a cash out last night at about 7pm, and it was in my PayPal account at 1:35pm today. I had a bit of an issue cashing out, but it was an issue with my phone, and not this app. I absolutely recommend! I will keep on downloading receipts. I didn’t want to write a review until I had actually accumulated some money, and attempted a cash out, but it’s not another scam app, and I do recommend it. It’s not going to make you rich, but it will buy you a few drinks a few times a year...with very little effort. Also, their customer service is prompt (we’re talking hours and not days), and very friendly.

I used to like CoinOut but now they limit you to only 2 receipts a day. It used to be 10 receipt limit per day. I only think of scanning my receipts once every few days, so I usually have more than 2. It said if you give them access to your email you can increase your limit. Uhhmmm… NO THANKS! I won’t be giving any app access to my personal email information. That’s an invasion of privacy and not worth the extra 20 cents I could get per day. If CoinOut makes the appropriate changes, I will change my review accordingly. I used to really like using CoinOut, but that kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

Update: Tried uploading a receipt today (this is about a week after my initial review), and the first one I tried it told me I reached my receipt limit for the day. I haven’t even uploaded any today. It said connect my email to raise the limit…. This is getting kind of weird.

I have been using this app for a year and a half and have made over $200 between completing the badges(offers) and scanning receipts. I just wish they would work on being able to scan longer receipts like other apps that allow you to take multiple pictures of a receipt to fit the whole receipt also, you should be able to cash out more than once a week, other than that I have no complaints it’s overall an awesome app. Maybe increase how much money you get per receipt would be nice but doubtful they have to make money too. Thanks this app! If you haven’t downloaded it you should…

I love it! It’s easy and fun to use!I love receipts now,the places I shop often they know to give me my receipt I’m always sayin’ it’s more then what I started with and let’s see if I can get 7 or 10 cents with this one I linked my bank account to it I’ve actually deposited 25$ into my account from coin out by doing bonus tiles that u can link to ur account like for instance buy online a lot CoinOut is for u! Go in coin out app tap on say a Walmart tile and shop online and give e receipt after to coin out you’ll earn money and u can transfer it to ur bank every little bit adds up and ur not out anything but less then a mins time.

CoinOut gives you random amount of cents per receipt and there’s no patterns as far as I have observed. Mostly I get 1 cents to 5 cents. The highest I got on one receipt was 18¢! Those are very rare. I probably got that much like three times in two year 😂. It takes a lot of patience to collect $10 which is the minimum amount you need to reach to cash out. I use a few other receipt scanning apps and this one is probably has the simplest design. There is a limit of scanning 7 receipts daily btw.

CoinOut concept is good. However, you can earn the 1-2 cents per receipt after you register account for a week. for a first week, you will earn 15-20 cents per receipt and the earning will go down afterward. and, you can only upload 7 receipts per day. you must upload the receipts that are within two weeks. Initially, i like CoinOut becuase you earn instant and hoping that i will add up eventually. However, after they block my account due to accidentally upload the same receipts that my roomate had. i tried to communicate with them with an explanation and never heard back! dont wasted your precious time for earning 2 cents per receipt and able to upload 7 receipts per day which will only give no more than 14-20 cents per day. they collect information of your household shopping survey, and only give small earning for your time! doesnt worth it!

So in all I’ve withdrawn just over $200 into my checking account withinDownloaded CoinOut a few years ago but only actually have been using it 8/mo VIA ZELLE by the way which is awesome, there are very clear instructions when you click on each page and I have been paid out in full as promised by every single badge. The problem is it’s very limited as far as work apps you can download or incentives you can do to earn $$, there is a good selection of different ones but they have not changed it the entire eight months I have been using CoinOut release so once you get the max potential of what you’re able to do to earn money that’s it folks…

this app is such a scam , once you start making a good amount of money and download all the extras to earn more money and when you finally want to transfer the money out “cash out” it’s nowhere to be found and then your account gets blocked and disappears ,and claims that your phone number is invalid . After months of scanning receipts and download and applying for random apps and accounts to earn extra bonuses they just block your account and you’ll never see any of the money that you’ve worked on for months , so then your stuck with multiple bank accounts and other subscriptions that you would never have gotten if it was not for CoinOut that end up being no use to you at all, customer service does not help at all and or just doesn’t respond. Just because you start asking about where your money that you transferred and you catch on that there is no pending transaction when you clearly have they will just delete your account for no reason with no explanation. CoinOut IS A TOTAL SCAM DO NOT DOWNLOAD THEY WILL JUST GET YOU TO DOWNLOAD AND APPLY FOR OTHER APPS AND SUBSCRIPTION SO THEY MAKE MONEY. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD . I have screenshots of all my earnings and proof that this is a scam !! I will be reporting them so they do not do this to others !

When I started with CoinOut, I would get between 7-20 cents per receipt, which isn’t much on its own, but adds up over time. After a couple of weeks, now I get 1 cents almost every receipt, and am lucky when I get 3-7 cents for a receipt. So with most receipts only returning a penny, it’s no longer worth it. One cent doesn’t add up to anything worthwhile over any reasonable amount of time, and isn’t even worth the effort to take the picture. Maybe if you weren’t limited to less than 10 receipts a day (so 10-15 cents/day max), it could’ve been ok. But I don’t like anyone deceptive, and it was deceptive to lure people in with 7-20 cents per receipt and then never give it again.

And the offers aren’t worth what they offer either. I completed several, and got $5 back eventually. But that $5 isn’t worth the 30+ spam texts and phone calls I get every day, 7 days a week trying to sell me junk! It will make you wanna blow your brains out how much BS they put you through, I would GLADLY pay $5 to not deal with it.

I love this this app app! Each receipt earns YOU money back into a account. Easy money.. completely random and can vary between 1 cent and 20 cents for each receipt! At times they allow you to scan more than usual along with “gold” bonus as well as others. It’s so easy to use and the customer service team is the best out there. When I had a issue they responded in a couple hours (NOT days) and fixed it right away. You can also cash out every week if you wish. How cool is that? You want to get CoinOut!
P.s Pretty much any kind of receipt can be redeemed.

I call dirty pool! Just like the other reviews, the first week or so I was getting between $0.05 and up to $0.16 per receipt. IMMEDIATELY upon starting the second week I was getting $0.01 to $0.03 with a random, maybe once a day $0.07!! 5-16 is worth it to bother, 1-3 is not. BAIT AND SWITCH!!!!! Shenanigans!!!

In psychology, this is called a random, variable reward schedule and it is designed to treat you brain the same way a SLOT machine does. With the hopes of a bigger payoff, it strokes you a little, once in a while so you know it’s possible, but you never know which time you’re getting stroked. So you keep playing, thinking maybe you’ll get a stroke this time. But in the end, you LOSE!

LIES! ALL LIES! Ok, not ALL lies, but darn near. The “BANK TRANSFER” is NOT a bank transfer, it’s an APP transfer using PLAID. TRUE BANK TRANSFERS DONT REQUIRE A 3rd PARTY APP!!!!! If your bank doesn’t support PLAID (mine doesn’t) you can’t get your money out until you’ve made $10. And since I won’t keep playing this charade for a penny at a time, I’ll never reach $10. So they will never have to pay me for the money I’ve earned. BAIT AND SWITCH! Shenanigans!!!!

LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont fall for their crap! Honestly, I’d sue if we weren’t talking about literally pennies here. On the customer end.

So I just seen this on Shark Tank and I thought it was a cool idea and I wanted to support it. I guess a lot has changed with this company since filming. So, I went to the website for clarification and found nothing. I seen some info for merchants and partners but nothing explaining the details. Then, I downloaded it thinking I would learn more but it made me enter my phone number before I could do anything. If it wasn’t for shark tank I would have never entered my number...I would have just deleted it. Also, I have no idea where I can use CoinOut besides what I seen listed in CoinOut updates section. You should really include the list of retailers in CoinOut alphabetically. Lastly, It would be cool if CoinOut saved at least one months worth of receipt photos for us.

I’ve used this for a few months and I like it for the most part. The big cons are the limit on receipts and the fact that you can only scan each receipts once. I also use another receipt app and it has unlimited receipts. Some receipts are really long and it’s hard to get them in one scan. Plus I feel that if we can scan multiple receipts, then possibly the payout might be larger. I’ve had smaller receipts that get a higher rate vs the ones with multiple items (like when you go to the grocery store and stock up). That being said, I like the bonus and trivia games. And the fact that I get money for something that I would just throw in the recycle bin.

I’m skeptical of apps like this because they usually take a long time to actually gain rewards. However, CoinOut works pretty well. You can submit 7 receipts a day and the clock resets at midnight. I started out getting about 0.07 cents per receipt but recently it’s been more of just 0.01 cents per receipt. Sometimes you can get 0.20 cents as well. I guess it’s just random though. So far, I’ve made almost 10 dollars in the past month (without scanning every day) which is the minimum you need to get the money back through Paypal. Overall, great way to earn some small change back on purchases

CoinOut is definitely the best for scanning receipts. It gives you actual coins in the form of cents opposed to an app currency. this app is definitely good, but I have two things I wish would change. I scan a lot of my day-to-day receipts, but there is a limit of 7 scans per day. In the beginning, you get 8-20 cents per receipt, but if you keep using it after a few weeks you’ll only get 1-3 cents. I wonder why this happens, though I’m not complaining because you still get money for a receipt that you otherwise wouldn’t get anything for. I would put priority on removing the scan limit. Otherwise, definitely get CoinOut.

This is a GREAT app. Especially if you’re one who buys from eBay. Even if you buy at a nominal level- this is well worth it. 4% Cash back: all day/every day. Sure beats eBay’s own dismal 1% bonus bucks. But CoinOut is multi-faceted, besides the online incentive there’s the basic cash back on every receipt you scan. The ONLY negative would be the pending/wait-time on some internet purchases (such as eBay- gotta wait over a month for it to clear). But hey, I’m getting cash back for things I would buy regardless; really can’t complain about waiting.

This is a pretty cool app. I've only been using it for about two weeks now and haven't tried to cash out yet. My review of CoinOut may change after that experience depending on the process. The concept is super simple. You scan any receipt and you get a random cash back amount of a few cents. You also have a limited number of receipts that you can scan each day. It's all very random but the process is painless and you're getting a few cents for a few seconds of your time. I'd call that a win-win!

I really love this concept ; it’s a great idea !!!
I wish that we got more than a measly $0.06 a receipt ... I mean I guess it all adds up ; but I can’t help but feel as though the data we are selling them (in hopes of making some pocket change because consumerism is expensive) is worth ALOT more to this company than we are being led on to believe .

If this company would reimburse people for their purchase data / receipts a fair amount than CoinOut would be groundbreaking . But it seems to me as just more corporate greed (I.e. Facebook collecting all of our data and selling it to the highest bidder while us the users are getting poorer by the second).

I have been using CoinOut not long.
It’s very easy to use no problems with it at all. Cash out for my first
$20. Said it would take couple of weeks but!! It was only 7 days.
I was surprised I got it and no problems at all. Only thing it saids you would get $1 for reaching $20 and I did not. Other then that I am really happy and on my way on working on the next $20 I use PayPal it was quicker this way for me. I have told friends and shared with family. Thank you this app love
CoinOut.
