The Amazon Shopper Panel is an opt-in, invitation-only program where participants can earn monthly rewards by sharing receipts from purchases made outside of Amazon or completing short surveys about your opinion on brands or products that may be of interest to you. Earning rewards is easy. Simply upload eligible receipts by using the Amazon Shopper Panel app to take pictures of paper receipts or by forwarding email receipts to receipts@panel.amazon.com and you’ll earn up to $10 per month towards either an Amazon Balance or a charitable donation. You’ll earn rewards each month for every survey you complete and if you turn on ad verification on your mobile device you'll receive more, relevant surveys each month based on the ads you see from Amazon. Ads from Amazon can include Amazon’s own advertising or third-party businesses that advertise through Amazon Ads. Space is limited and you may only be eligible to participate in certain parts of the program. You can check if you are eligible by tapping on the Receipts or Surveys tabs, or by visiting Ad verification in the panel app's settings. Your participation will help brands offer better products and make Amazon ads more relevant. Participation in the Amazon Shopper Panel is voluntary and panelists can stop using the app, sharing receipts, answering survey questions, or enabling ad verification at any time. The Amazon Shopper Panel is available to a limited number of Amazon customers who are 18 years of age or over and in the US. If you received an invitation, download the app now. Interested customers who did not receive an invitation can download the app to join the waitlist and will be notified via email if space becomes available. Learn more: http://panel.amazon.com By using this app, you agree to Amazon’s Conditions of Use (www.amazon.com/conditionsofuse) and the Amazon Shopper Panel T&Cs (available in the app).

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Backup Care Connection at 100% against Amazon Shopper Panel's 46%. Backup Care Connection also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14). Amazon Shopper Panel's advantage is ratings volume (180K vs 13) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Amazon Shopper Panel holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Shopper Panel has 180K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Backup Care Connection's written reviews are positive against 46% of Amazon Shopper Panel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Backup Care Connection ships an update every 3 months, Amazon Shopper Panel every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
