What is Receipt Radar?

Receipt Radar helps you automatically earn points from your e-receipts πŸ₯³. This integration allows you to earn even more points from your online purchases by simply linking your email account to Gener8. Once connected, you'll be instantly rewarded for each receipt πŸŽ‰.

The magic of Receipt Radar is that it can figure out if an email is a receipt or not, without even taking a look at what’s inside!

How do we do this? Well, we use some super-smart techniques to identify two basic details:

πŸ›Which retailer sent the email

πŸ“©What’s in the subject line

That’s it! πŸ™Œ

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» How to set up Receipt Radar on our website

The web version of Receipt Radar for Gmail isn’t working right now πŸ˜ͺ. We're working on a fix for the desktop version of Receipt Radar, but in the meantime you should be able to connect your Gmail account to Receipt Radar via the Gener8 App. Find out more here πŸ“²

  • Select 'Continue with Google' or 'Continue with Outlook' and sign in to your email account (if you don't have a Gmail or Outlook account, click another email provider to be notified when they're available!).

  • Once you've selected 'accept permissions' and connected your account, Receipt Radar will scan for e-receipts from selected merchants.

⏰ The first scan may take up to 10 minutes...

πŸͺ„ Receipt Radar works its magic every 24 hours

You can select 'Update' at any point but once you're connected, Receipt Radar will automatically scan for e-receipts every 24 hours πŸ™Œ.

For your first scan, if any receipts are found you'll gain an extra 50 points on top of the points earned per receipt πŸ₯³.
If no receipts are found on the first scan, you'll still get an extra 10 points πŸ‘Œ.

βš™οΈ Can I deactivate Receipt Radar?

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

To deactivate, select the settings βš™οΈ button in the top right corner and tap 'Remove'. 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.


πŸ“§ Something missing from your purchases on Receipt Radar?

Receipt Radar will scan for receipts from an ever-expanding list of selected retailers. If you can't currently see one of your recent purchases, don't sweat it! It's most likely not made it onto our supported list yet. We'll be continuously adding new retailers as we go πŸ™Œ.

πŸ“§ When will other email providers be available on Receipt Radar?

We are currently in the process of expanding our email providers and adding support for Yahoo and other providers. Keep an eye on our updates and we'll let you know when the new feature is available.
