  • Offer

In previous offers, I've submitted physical receipts from eligible stores such as Coles, Woolworths and Chemist Warehouse. There have been reports of the scanner not reading receipts from online shopping.

From GYB:

Hey folks 👋Quick heads-up on the Scan a Receipt thing, it now works for both in-store and online purchases 🎉

All you need is either:
✅ An original physical receipt, or
✅ An original PDF e-receipt (downloaded directly from the store, not a screenshot)

So yep, online orders are fine now too, just make sure you’ve got the proper PDF version from the retailer

    Is there a catch or gotya with these shopback receipty thingys…..or am I missing out?

    • JHoliday on 06/12/2025 - 11:38
      +3

      Yes it only accepts receipts from certain companies

      It doesn’t accept digital receipts only paper ones

      It doesn’t accept receipts that are slightly faded which is out of your control (says they are blurry)

      Doesn’t accept any $0 receipts. eg. If you get a free sample

      • Vash1984 on 06/12/2025 - 12:09

        It does accept digital receipts, save it as pdf and upload, or show it on your monitor and then take a picture.
        I just uploaded for Amazon, ubereats, Asics, KFC, temu which where all email/digitial

        • nap enthusiast on 06/12/2025 - 18:54

          how do you get it to accept the digital ubereats invoices?

            @nap enthusiast: app invoice didnt work on shopback so I went on computer.
            Hamberger icon > Orders > download invoice > extract > scan your screen with shopback app.
            Little bit annoying, but lucky I orders a bit in the last 2 weeks

      • scud70 on 07/12/2025 - 08:25

        you can share digital apps like from woolies rewards app, also if they allow it to be saved as a pdf you can upload that.

      Yes, last week there was $2 bonus for first ever scanned receipt. Wait for that.

      Freebie receipt from BWS is also eligible!

      I can imagine 100% cashbacked Pizza Hut receipt is eligible though I haven't tried.

    These are a pain. Half the time it doesn't work. Waste of time.

    • Neoika on 06/12/2025 - 11:18

      My limited scanning experience tells me that make sure to capture the purchase date/time. BWS's freebie receipt only shows it at the very bottom as there's no payment details that usually have time stamped.

      • ATangk on 06/12/2025 - 22:49

        One company printed their receipt with MM/DD/YY and it screwed over my receipt… 12/01/25 is too old of a receipt apparently.

        • Neoika on 07/12/2025 - 11:32

          It makes sense, but the AI or something that SB use should know the date format of that retailer. In other words, all the receipts from that retailer follow the date format.

    • trixieb on 06/12/2025 - 11:20

      Physical receipts are usually fine. Online receipts could be a pain. I haven't submitted an online receipt yet.

        If you download the .pdf from your activity in everyday rewards app they submit just fine. The photo ones can be hit/miss and take days to validate. I played around with the contrast/brightness on a faint IGA one I photographed and it finally worked too.

        • Asti on 06/12/2025 - 13:57

          I'm finding my Woolworths .pdfs don't work at all anymore. Given up on this crap completely now.

    • Chinese Angel on 06/12/2025 - 11:56

      Mine works most of time. Sometimes it just need retaking of physical receipts. However earned mainly $0.05 /receipt. Still free money for 5 seconds effort. Lol

    Giving your valuable data for $5??? I wouldn't do so.Receipts have lot more info not just items you purchased.

    • N15 on 06/12/2025 - 11:20
      +11

      I had a pumpkin on one receipt and a powerade on another - I don't really care what they do with that data.

    • Neoika on 06/12/2025 - 11:22
      +2

      Only use the receipts that have been cashbacked or for a freebie like I said. It makes no difference to leak data twice.

      So you don't have flybuys, everyday rewards, credit cards? Majority of these programs use your purchasing info.

      • N15 on 06/12/2025 - 22:33
        -1

        I know, and I don't care if they see what I buy when it comes to groceries. Thats my choice and happy to be rewarded in return for it. You could always pay cash. You don't even have to scan the reward or payment part of the receipt if you don't want to and it still works.
        I do care about other things though, eg. I have my own hosted email and don't use the free ones. Free emails like Google and Yahoo etc scan through your emails and photos to learn about you. That's crossing the line for me. Each to their own.

        But you get an extra $2 for uploading your durex condom purchases, only from chemist wearhouse and with a minimum spend. Soooo worth it

    • OnlyHans on 12/12/2025 - 20:43

      In a supermarket are bins.

    • N15 on 06/12/2025 - 11:28

      How many did you upload? I did 4 this morning dated 4th & 5th. but I'm heading to the shops soon and will do some more later

    • JuiceWRLD on 06/12/2025 - 12:20

      uploaded 3 from coles and 3 from woolies. no issues so far

    • trixieb on 06/12/2025 - 11:42
      +4

      @gotyourback Can you please clarify:

      • Does the offer for submitting the receipt end on 31 Dec 2025 11:59pm AEST or AEDT?

      • Is the $5 gift card credit to be used by 31 Dec 11:59pm, the same time as the end date for submission of receipt?

      • How soon is the gift card credit awarded after submitting the receipt? It may not work out if the above term is accurate as there isn't enough time to use between submitting a receipt and receiving the gift card credit.

      Thanks.

      @JuiceWRLD This is the original offer when I posted this morning and linked in my post. It didn't mention the gift card credit use by date but states "Earn reward after scanning 15 receipts" which is now deleted.

        yeah, shop back being cheeky.

    • ATangk on 07/12/2025 - 12:32

      In the past for a similar style promotion, the gift card credit must be used by the date. That is, you must buy a gift card by that time. The gift card itself has a separate expiry.

  • Legsweeping on 06/12/2025 - 11:39

  • cyan00FFFF on 06/12/2025 - 11:47

    For anyone struggling with digital receipts, you need to use the share function to put it in. If you upload a PDF from within the app, it comes out cropped and blurry and gets rejected.
    Also, unlike Shping, you can't upload a screenshot and you can't use the print function from Gmail (it rejects anything with an email header).

    • Chinese Angel on 06/12/2025 - 12:01

      I shop quite a bit from Amazon, would you by any chance know how to submit Amazon receipts as i can't seem to find share feature. TIA

      • AnnieMay on 06/12/2025 - 18:16

        You have to get a tax invoice which can be a pain. I should come up in your oder after delivery (or you have to request). I got a weird one that was half in chinese and they accepted it. Just make sure its the tax invoice and not the order summary

  • kyle on 06/12/2025 - 11:52

    Many companies issuev tax invoices as an email and there's no pdf

  • crackman on 06/12/2025 - 12:24

    I tried a zero cost receipt and it was rejected

    • Neoika on 06/12/2025 - 12:39

      No, zero cost shouldn't be the issue. My BWS freebie receipt was indeed approved.

      Either there is no purchase time can be found on the receipt, or your scan doesn't include it. First of all, the receipt has to be from one of the eligible listed stores.

  • anonymous_coward on 06/12/2025 - 12:37

    I just got back from a week in Auckland and went to Woolworths and Chemist warehouse and have physical receipts - will these count? @gotyourback ? Or do that have to be Australian Receipts only. Thanks.

    • cyan00FFFF on 06/12/2025 - 19:11
      +1

      No harm in trying. I think it should accept them if the format is similar. Unlike Shping, I can confirm it can accept receipts without an ABN shown.

  • Sweet3st on 06/12/2025 - 13:02

    Any tips on sharing Amazon receipts?

    • cobknob on 06/12/2025 - 14:48

      Goto your orders, select an order, download invoice, and on Android send to files by Google to download to your device. That's the invoice you upload.

      Shopback systems are automated with OCR software that use pattern matching to look for specific information, and that when it confirms eligiblity of receipt it rewards you.

      • tajid on 14/12/2025 - 12:13

        I did this but keeps telling me they are not original invoice.

    Has anyone else received an email this morning with:

    "Earn up to $50 with your first 5 receips scan! 🎉"
    (yes, I noticed the spelling erro, but it certainly appears to be from shopback)

    The link says you need to look in the app, but I can't see this offer in my app.

    • AnnieMay on 06/12/2025 - 18:20
      +2

      I see the offer… it judges me for being an early adoptor. Go to the receipts tab on the home page. Its its near the top. If the tab isnt showing uo you might need to update and/or restart the app.

      • Gaz1 on 06/12/2025 - 18:31

        Aaaah - found it after restarting the app.
        Somewhat misleading - the "up to $50" is a very tiny chance - lots of different rewards you might be given, all of them $0.10 to $1 after from the $50.
        For example, looking at the conditions there are 144,000 x $0.10 & 18 x $50.

    • diviCe on 06/12/2025 - 18:29

      Typical Shopback…

  • Naed on 06/12/2025 - 19:22

    I've done this with some El Jimador promos. Managed to get $75 cashback tracking so ended up with 12 cans for very nearly free. There's now another promo for $12.50 per receipt too - should be able to buy a single can at liquorland for $9. Not worth it really unless you happen to be there but technically they're paying you to buy their product.

    Too hard to battle for crumbs of 5c per receipt or 33 cents in this case.

      • dhore on 13/12/2025 - 14:13

        I just finished scanning the 15 receipts and expected a $5 credit or cashback. Didn't realise you had to go and buy a gift card (most are $10 minimum) to get $5 cashback on that purchase.

        • N15 on 13/12/2025 - 14:27

          Amazon has $5 but I agree having to buy a GC to be credited is misleading

      I was previously getting a 404 message. I'm no longer getting the error message, but I'm not sure how to redeem the $5.

      Do I buy a gift card through Shopback and have $5 taken off the cost at the time of purchase? Or do I buy a gift card & wait for $5 cashback on it? It's not clear from the system how it works.

      Anyone redeemed their $5 and can advise please?

        yes, same as other $30-5/$40-5 GC deals.

        • JHoliday on 08/12/2025 - 18:44

          1) So you don't need to activate the offer beforehand?
          2) It's not like the monthly ShopBack Plus voucher where you have to add the $5 off promo when you are purchasing?

          It all happens automatically in the background?

      • Sweet3st on 08/12/2025 - 20:09

        I had the 404 problem but that ceased. However when I clicked the shop now link and went to gift cards, none of them were giving me $5 cashback. A SB staffer has just given me $5 credit on my account.

        • suzta on 08/12/2025 - 21:48

          How did you get through to a SB staff member? When I clicked on Support in the app, a chat bot opened. I'm not sure if it's to do with the time (past 6pm WST).
