Hit $50 saved this month just from scanning my grocery receipts

I started using that Fetch app thing back in January mostly as a joke, but yesterday I checked my total and I've got $50 worth of gift cards just from scanning grocery receipts. I'm not gonna lie, I was shocked. I just scan my Aldi and WinCo receipts after I shop and sometimes snap a picture of a random receipt I find on the ground. The points add up way faster than I thought, especially when you grab the bonus offers for specific brands. I used points for a $10 Amazon card last week and it felt like free money cause I'd already bought the stuff anyway. Does anyone else do this or am I just becoming that coupon guy nobody wants at parties?

Bet that's just giving companies your shopping data for pennies.

Just another way for them to track spending habits. Not like anyone's getting rich off this stuff. Most people probably don't realize the fine print lets them sell the data. It's a lot less harmless than they make it sound.
