Update 3/17/24: Negative change starting in April – that they are no longer allowing dining/gas/transit receipts, and now you can only upload highly specific receipts to get a bonus. They also made a change that now each receipt will earn a reward separately. (hat tip to Ryan Goldstein)
Update 11/1/20: Seems to be worth installing the app as some people have reported being accepted into the program after installing it (and no e-mail received so check your app periodically). Hat tip to reader Kris
Original Post:
Amazon has launched a new invite only program called ‘Amazon Shopper Panel’ where you can earn $10+ per month by scanning receipts and completing short surveys. The basic part of the program is that you submit ten or more receipts per month (on purchases made outside of Amazon.com) and you receive a $10 credit or donation to a charity of your choice. You can then earn additional rewards by completing surveys.
Most receipt uploading programs are not worth doing due to the low payouts, but this works out to be $1 per receipt uploaded if you upload 10. Unfortunately the program is invite only and there doesn’t seem to be any way to request an invite. You can download the app to join the wait list though.
