So what’s all the fuss about? SNAPnSAVE gives shoppers cash back on everyday shopping items, simply for snapping their till slip. That’s it.
So far, the start-up has paid over R500 000 cash back, with some SNAPnSAVE users already racking up R2000 in savings. That’s cold hard cash, not points, just for shopping the way they normally would.
The success of SNAPnSAVE can be attributed to its simplicity. Users purchase featured items from any major retailer and then get cash back by snapping a photo of their till slip.
The success of the Cape Town-based start-up is a testament that South Africans are looking for ways to help ease the burden on already overstretched wallets.
Mark Bradshaw, SnapnSave CEO says; “Mobile coupons are booming in South Africa. Unlike some of the big loyalty programmes, the benefit with SnapnSave is that shoppers can save no matter where they shop."
SNAPnSAVE has been ranked the number one shopping app in the Apple store and the number one lifestyle app in the Google playstore.
At the end of each month, when debit orders are flying out of bank accounts, SNAPnSAVE tries to ease the burden with their 'Money Makers’, a list of goods paying up to 70% cashback. This feature has become so popular that users are asking in advance what products will be featured and suggesting their own.
