Scanning receipt no longer works

If i scan a receipt its taking me to a page not found page
And giving me GoException error

Does not work

I added my receipt with a 300.00 computer monitor. One week later the monitor went on sale, 30.00 off. The app did not notify me or even notice. My local warehouse was correctly added at setup too. I’ll still be manually checking my stores app to match prices.

Costrefund money back app

The new app is working great. I have saved over 500$ the first month. I recommend trying out.

Saved me money without lifting a finger

I shop at Costco pretty regularly, but I always forget to check if something I bought went on sale after I purchased it. The Costrefund app totally solved that for me.

It automatically tracks the prices of stuff I’ve bought and lets me know if the price drops. I recently got back $30 on a TV just because the app caught a price drop and reminded me to request a refund. Super easy—I just followed the steps it gave me, and Costco sent the difference back.

Honestly, I didn’t even know Costco offered price adjustments until I got this app. Now I don’t have to constantly check prices or worry I missed a deal. It basically does all the work for me.

Only downside? Sometimes syncing receipts takes a little while. But still—free money back? I’m not complaining.

Highly recommend if you shop at Costco and want to get the most out of it.

A good app in theory - if it worked.

I was invited to be a tester when the app first launched, and for the first couple weeks it seemed good. Then it stopped working; every time I try to upload a new receipt it says “you’ve already uploaded this receipt”, but yet it isn’t in my history. Customer service is nonexistent at this point.

Response from developer

Hi GraveyardMistress, We’re sorry for the frustration you experienced, especially as one of our early testers. The issue that caused receipts to be flagged as “already uploaded” has since been identified and fixed in our latest update. Please update to the newest version and it should work as intended. We also improved our in-app support so you can reach us directly if anything else comes up. Thank you for helping us improve CostRefund from the start. —The CostRefund Team

Useless app

App doesn’t let you try even a month before having to pay. So no idea if the app even works. It made me watch a bunch of ads but still didn’t let me save my receipt.

Waste of time. Don’t download this junk.

It also spams you with messages.

Response from developer

Hi Crbbbbb, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you had a negative experience. We actually do offer a free version of our app right from the start, which allows users to try out core features without immediate payment. Regarding notifications, these are designed as helpful reminders, sent approximately every 60 hours, to keep you on track. We'd appreciate it if you could give the free version a try. If you have any specific issues, please contact our support team so we can assist you further.

Good concept but needs work

I've been getting daily notifications from the app which is completely unnecessary and there are no settings to disable these "call to action" notifications while retaining "savings found" notifications, so I've had to completely turn off notifications from the app to rid myself of the annoyance.

The receipt tracking is cool but could use edit functionality on the output to fix places where the OCR is wrong.

The leaderboard and "score" concepts are strange and I strongly dislike being unable to opt-out of both of them.

Still waiting to identify my first refund but that's no fault of the dev.

Hi HawkeyeEngineer, thanks for your valuable feedback! We appreciate you highlighting areas for improvement. We understand your frustration with the daily "call to action" notifications and the lack of separate controls. This is something we're actively looking into for a future update. We're glad you find the receipt tracking cool and agree that editing functionality would be beneficial – that's also on our radar. Regarding the leaderboard and score, we appreciate your feedback on the opt-out feature and will take this into consideration. We hope you identify a refund soon!
