arci122 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Walmart has introduced this new App called Savings Catcher. Has anyone used it yet? It is suppose to do the savings on competitor's ads for you, and then give you store credit for the savings amount. I have not seen any fine print yet that says not good on "Black Friday", as Walmart doesn't usually match on other store's doorbusters. https://savingscatcher.walmart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riven3d Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It's only good for groceries I've used it of all my shopping trips and inputting my receipts weekly I've only got $1 so far which I haven't claimed trying to wait for a little more saved before I claim it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwashi3324 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I've scanned a few receipts and so far have $9.42 which I can have put on an e-gift card, or double the amount if I add it to a Blue Bird card. It can be used in store or online for all purchases, from what I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkrbel Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I've tried to use it and come across several receipts it refuses to accept. It appears only "certain" stores are accepted but there's no way of knowing which other than trial and error. Of the 4 receipts I tried only 2 went in and I got $0 but I expected that since I was price matching most of the stuff anyways. A coworker has $20+ on hers. I think its a useful tool for busy ppl who do their bulk shop at walmart since they expect it to be cheaper overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCPanther1975 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I have used it for about 4 weeks now and only gotten about $6 total, but hey, I will take it! I go to Wal-Mart 1x a week for grocery shopping so I just downloaded the app to my phone and scan my receipt while I am walking to the car, I get my results in about 3-4 days and just put it on a ecard and I have used it at check out just to see how easy it was---it was super easy, I pulled up the ecard on my phone and the cashier just punched in the number and viola' it took off the $2.xx credit.

Elmck Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I shop there for groceries, and just scan all my receipts, so far I have over $25 and I just put in another receipt. I am using it to save up for BF. Can someone explain the Bluebird thing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laddhorn Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We were in the test market and have been using it for several months. We keep having trouble claiming the actual "savings." For some reason, they will not email the amount. Once we claim it, it goes to zero and we don't get the eGiftCard. It doesn't show up in the spam folder or the inbox! We claim at about $25 and this is our third time to claim. Emails to their support helped when we were still the test market, but have become non-responsive since it was pushed out nation wide. Hopefully, it will work better for you. I think that we will re-sign up using a different email address next time we claim and get nothing.

amez74 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We've been using it for over a month now and have cashed out twice for a total of about $18. We get it on an egift card and it's sent to my email within a few hours and I've had no problems using it immediately. It's really easy money--I've noticed the last few weeks the scanner hasn't been working so I have to enter the barcode by hand. I'm not sure if that's due to an Iphone update though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cab0ad Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Only good on groceries and it misses a lot of deals that are cheaper elsewhere. I have $7 after using it since it came out.

julz0420 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I haven't used it like I should but it did catch like 3.00. Better than nothing. I need to start doing it again tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misstaken Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I think the Bluebird thing is like their reloadable money card…like a Walmart checking account. I'm not sure it's worth the trouble if the alternative option is a gift card. Much easier and less invasive. http://www.walmart.com/cp/Bluebird/1099170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal Grabber Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 FYI those asking about the bluebird card, its from american express and can be used anywhere american express is used.I chose that option as i already had a bluebird card and the savings catcher doubles ur money if u transfer the funds to it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCPanther1975 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I think it does like Health and Beauty aids also, at least mine does, cause I got a deal on some toothpaste. I have cashed out about $12 dollars in total. I get the email to load in my e card and then I get that in about 10 mins. And if I tell it to do that , it keeps adding to the total before I use it. Used it tonight and saved $6.87 on my bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julz0420 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I don't shop groceries at my walmart (its not even a super center) but its caught stuff. Usually tho, it doesn't catch anything. Still, anything it does catch is money back for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has no fees and either way (Bluebird or egiftcard) the money has to be spent at Walmart so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieva Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The other thing I like about the savings catcher that my wife showed me this weekend is that if you have to do a return, the e receipt is in your phone so you don't need to keep track of the paper receipt. Just did a return using it yesterday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conj Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've saved a whopping 21 cents so far... don't get me wrong, I'll cash that in eventually... but not a huge motivational factor when I decide where to shop. Does Savings Catcher compare all items on my receipt?Savings Catcher applies to many items sold at Walmart stores. Savings Catcher compares identical items based on an item’s Universal Product Code (UPC) and typically does not compare items of different quantity, brand, flavor, color, etc. because those items do not have the same UPC. Eligible items include:Groceries such as cereal and rice and most fruits and vegetables except for: private label / store brand items, deli, bakery and weighed meat items. In Puerto Rico, most fruit and vegetables will not be eligible.Consumable items such as paper towels, bleach and trash bags.Health and beauty items such as shampoo and makeup.Savings Catcher does not currently apply to:Private label / store brand items, deli, bakery and weighed meat items. In addition for Puerto Rico, most fruit and vegetables will not be eligible.General merchandise items, (including, but not limited to, electronics, media and gaming, toys, housewares, small appliances, office supplies, apparel basics such as socks and undershirts, sporting goods, home décor, bedding, books and magazines, shoes, jewelry, furniture and seasonal products).Non-branded items.Tobacco, firearms, gasoline, tires, prescription drugs, optical and photo products and services, or products that require a service agreement such as wireless, automotive or financial products.

provresgrp Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Several have mentioned using it for a certain amount of time and getting X amount back. The length of time is irrelevant. The amount spent vs. what you get back is what we should be tracking. In my own experience over the past month I've gotten back 1% of the total spent. I haven't tried cashing in yet, and I've heard of people having problems doing so.... I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanShotFirst Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I've got $6.87 saved up so far. Funnily enough, I had to travel to Myrtle Beach to save the majority of that $6.87. Not that that was a hardship though. I don't expect to save huge amounts every time since I do buy a lot of store brand items but every little bit that I do save is nice.
