FAQ
What is PurchaseGuard?
PurchaseGuard is a finance app designed to help users track return deadlines and warranty expirations for their online purchases. It provides reminders and insights into the value of items still protected by return or warranty policies.
How does PurchaseGuard track deadlines?
You can add purchases by photographing receipts, selecting from your library, or typing information. The app automatically applies retailer return policies and default 12-month warranties, with options to edit these dates.
Does PurchaseGuard offer reminders?
Yes, PurchaseGuard allows you to set custom lead times for reminders before a return or warranty expires, such as 30, 14, 7, 3, or 1 day prior. These reminders are delivered directly to your device.
What is the 'Purchase Value Protected' feature?
This feature on the dashboard shows the total monetary value of your purchases that are still eligible for a refund, exchange, or warranty claim. It also highlights what is at risk of expiring soon.
Can PurchaseGuard help decide if I should keep an item?
Yes, the app offers an 'Advisor' feature. By answering a few quick questions about the item's condition and packaging, it provides a clear recommendation like 'Keep It', 'Exchange It', 'Return It', or 'File a Warranty Claim'.
Is PurchaseGuard private and secure?
PurchaseGuard is designed with privacy in mind. It does not scrape emails or bank accounts, connect to banks, or sell data. Product photos and receipt images are processed locally and not stored.
What are the benefits of PurchaseGuard Pro?
PurchaseGuard Pro is an optional subscription that removes the limit of 5 active tracked items, adds money-protected trends over time, category and retailer breakdowns, a price-adjustment radar, and the ability to export a protection report.
How much does PurchaseGuard Pro cost?
PurchaseGuard Pro is available for $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year, and includes a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID, and subscriptions can be managed or canceled in your Apple ID settings.
