Quick answer ⚡

Receipt Radar lets you earn Gener8 points by connecting your email account and automatically receiving points from eligible online shopping receipts.

Overview 💡

Receipt Radar is a simple way to earn extra points in the background from your everyday online shopping.

Once you connect your email account, Gener8 can detect eligible receipts and reward you automatically - no extra steps needed after setup. 🙌

How to connect Receipt Radar 📲

Getting started only takes a minute:

  1. Open the Gener8 App

  2. Go to My Data then scroll to Receipt Radar

  3. Connect your email account

  4. Follow the on-screen steps to complete setup

If you're connecting your Gmail account to Receipt Radar, you'll need to use the Gener8 App and set up 2-Step Verification ✅. Check out this article if you need a 👋 setting it up: Connect to Receipt Radar with Gmail 📩

How it works 🧠

  • You shop online as normal 🛒

  • Receipts are sent to your connected email 📧

  • Gener8 detects eligible receipts 🧾

  • Receipt Radar will automatically scan for e-receipts every 24 hours 🙌.

  • You earn 1 point per eligible receipt detected in your connected email account 🎉

    ⏰ The first scan may take up to 10 minutes

Can I deactivate Receipt Radar? ⚙️

You sure can (although you'll miss out on earning extra Gener8 points 🥹)!

Once deactivated, you won't lose any points previously earned from Receipt Radar but it will stop scanning for e-receipts and you'll automatically stop earning points.

Can I add more than one email account? 📧

Right now, you can connect multiple Gmail and Outlook accounts at any one time.

Just select 'Receipt Radar' > 'Accounts' > 'Add account' and continue with Google or Outlook to set up a new connection 📩

When will other email providers be available on Receipt Radar? 📧

We will look to expand this to Yahoo and other email providers. Keep an eye on our updates and we'll let you know when the new connections are available 👀.

Why can't I see one of my receipts? 📧

Receipt Radar scans for e-receipts from a growing list of supported retailers. If you don’t see a recent purchase, don’t worry - it’s likely that the retailer isn’t on our list yet. We’re continuously adding new retailers, so stay tuned! 🙌

Do I need to upload my receipts?

No 🙌 Receipt Radar automatically detects eligible e-receipts from your connected email - nothing needs to be uploaded or sent manually 📧🧾

Why do I get the error message “Email account already associated with another Gener8 account”?

If you see a message saying your email account is already associated with another Gener8 account when connecting Receipt Radar, it usually means that email address has previously been linked to Receipt Radar on a different Gener8 account.

This can sometimes happen if you’ve used Gener8 before with another account or email setup.
