Fees & unknowns

We did not find a withdrawal fee on the pages we checked. That is not confirmation that there are none.

Our interpretation: Withdrawable as money (PayPal or a participating bank) once you clear $20 and the first-offer wait. Small savers may sit below the threshold for a while; choosing a gift card turns cash into store-restricted value.

Cashing out

US redemption tiers are 1,000 coins for $5, 2,900 for $15, 4,300 for $25 and 6,500 for $40. These are discrete tiers, not a constant per-coin conversion rate.Receipt Hog Help(opens in new tab, checked 2026-11-12)

Choose PayPal, Amazon or Visa e-gift cards. Visa rewards must be activated within three months of redemption and used within six months before expiry, per the help page.Receipt Hog Help(opens in new tab, checked 2026-11-12)

Fees & unknowns

A payout-fee schedule was not confirmed on the reviewed pages.

Our interpretation: Coins can become money through PayPal after the minimum and verification steps. Amazon and Visa gift cards are not cash. Referral spins are chances at rewards, not a known dollar value; larger redemption tiers have different coin rates.
