Checkout 51 review and apps like it

What Checkout 51 is

Checkout 51 is a receipt cash back app and website. New offers on groceries and household products are posted weekly, and a member adds an offer, buys the item at a store, and uploads a photo of the receipt before the offer expires. Once the receipt is approved, the cash back is credited to the member's balance.

Beyond receipt offers, the app also has gas offers at participating stations for US members, online offers through partner retailers that need no receipt, and short surveys inside the mobile app. There is no referral program; the help center states that it ended in 2020.

The service is limited to residents of the United States and Canada, with some features, such as gas offers and Venmo cash-outs, available to US members only. Purchases also need to be made in the member's own country of residence.

What to look for in a similar app

Cash back apps and reward sites work in different ways, so it helps to check a few basics before signing up for a new one.

• Whether it pays for real purchases through receipts, for completed offers and surveys, or for something else entirely.
• Which countries it actually supports, since many apps restrict sign-up, offers or cash-out methods by country.
• What payout methods are offered, and whether a minimum balance applies before a cash-out can be requested.
• Whether joining and using the service is free, with no deposit or payment ever asked of members.
• What happens if a receipt or task is rejected, and how account activity or inactivity is handled over time.

Checkout 51 vs PocketsFull

Checkout 51 and PocketsFull are different kinds of rewards services, so the comparison below focuses on what each one actually offers.

How PocketsFull differs

PocketsFull is an online rewards site, not a receipt cash back app. Members take paid surveys and complete offers, many of them game and app offers, and collect rewards they can redeem. There is no shopping or receipt upload involved: a completed survey or offer adds its reward to the member's balance once it is confirmed by the survey provider or partner.

Joining and using PocketsFull is free, and no deposit or payment is ever requested. Not every survey fits every person, since survey providers look for specific profiles, so being screened out before the end happens to everyone from time to time. Keeping the profile complete and accurate helps a member get matched with more surveys.

Offers come from partners and can include trying an app or a game and reaching the steps it lists, or signing up for a service. Some offers take time to be confirmed, which is why a reward can take a while to appear on the balance. PocketsFull also has a separate section of free browser games with no download and no sign-up, but these are for fun and do not pay rewards.

How PocketsFull payouts work

PocketsFull rewards are redeemed for gift cards, and the catalog depends on the member's country, so members in the United States, United Kingdom and the Philippines see different local brands on their redeem screen.

PayPal and Litecoin are also listed on the redeem screen alongside the local gift cards. Other cash back apps may use different payout methods, such as a payment app or a mailed check, which are not options on the PocketsFull redeem screen.
