Complete Guide to Receipt Apps 2026｜Turn Discarded Receipts into Cash
Receipts you'd throw away turn into cash — make "reshi-katsu" a habit
You get a receipt every time you shop. Just photograph it in a dedicated app and you earn points or cash — that's "reshi-katsu" (receipt point-earning). You shop exactly as usual, with zero extra spending. Each receipt is worth only the equivalent of a few to a few tens of yen, but stacking your daily receipts becomes a small boost to the household budget. This guide organizes the types of receipt apps and the habits that earn efficiently. Read it alongside the walk-to-earn guide and the exchange-relay guide.
Types of receipt apps
| Type | How it works | Ease of earning |
|---|---|---|
| Photo type (any receipt) | A small amount per receipt from any store | Build volume; suits a daily habit |
| Target-product type | High cashback for buying a target item and submitting the receipt | High value; can be an effective discount to free |
| Survey-linked type | Receipt + survey answers add up | More effort but higher value |
| Cashback type | Maker campaigns refund part of the purchase in cash | High cashback depending on the item |
* App names, rates, and target products change. Check each app's official info for the latest. Reshi-katsu is separate from routed cashback on online shopping — it targets in-store purchase receipts.
Habits to earn efficiently
- "Submit one receipt to several apps"The same receipt can sometimes be submitted to multiple receipt apps. Check the terms and multi-earn.
- Raise value with target-product typesTarget-item campaigns can make an item an effective discount to free. Use them when restocking daily goods.
- Make photographing a post-purchase habitHoarding receipts leads to forgotten shots and expirations. Get into the habit of shooting right after checkout.
- Consolidate earned points into your mainFunnel small points into your main economy via an exchange relay so nothing is wasted.
The knack of reshi-katsu is a two-tier play: "build volume with photo types while capturing value with target-product types." Shooting right after checkout cuts missed pickups, and submitting the same receipt to several apps boosts efficiency. Your everyday shopping becomes a small income. Survey-app guide.
Cautions
- Honor submission deadlines and shooting rules: receipts have limits like "within a few days of issue." Shoot so the whole thing is visible.
- Misusing the same receipt is a no: some apps' terms ban multi-submission. Check the terms. NG-actions guide.
- Mind personal info and permissions: avoid suspicious apps and grant only what's needed. Safety guide.
- Think in hourly terms: don't chase ones whose value is too low for the photo/input effort.

Is reshi-katsu different from a point site?
This article was written from publicly available information on each point site as of May 2026. Cashback rates, campaign terms, and redemption rules can change without notice — always check each site's official page for the latest. This site uses each point site's referral program, but going through a referral link never changes the rate you receive.
