      A year ago I was the unfortunate victim of a cruel mass theft which included, of many things, my iPhone 12 phone that I used to scan receipts weekly to my ReceiptPal account for over a year without cashing out.I had to continue paying for the phone for over a year and I also didnt have access to my iCloud for that time until a few months ago after I got another iPhone.I received no notification of cancellation of my receipt rewards account. They kept all of my receipt data from the prior year plus but decided to zero out my account so I get nothing from all of those scans, which is bullshit!I have communicated back and forth with them and regurgitate the same excuse that I know they can reverse, at the very least, partially. Contacting the BBB and potentially other 3rd parties was my last resort!

      The situation was fairly rectified and recovery was made. 
      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.

      I tried for about a week now to redeem *********, and I have sent emails to the help desk to get help. The app says that I have to wait 11 days to be able to redeem ********* for a gift card. I have not had a j for quite some time. The problem started when I deleted my Amazon account. I got a reply about this stating that I need to have a valid email address and/or an account with Amazon. So I don't see cancelling my Amazon account should cause a problem. I have been trying to get this matter resolved with the company and I am getting no where. All I want is to be sent a gift card for the points that I have earned. Then I will close my account with them.Please help me with this matter.

      I have been using Receipt Pal for a very long time. I finally accumulated ****** points which can be exchanged for $100 cash to PayPal. When I tried to do the exchange it didn't work. I tried several more times with no success. I contacted their customer service email and was told my account was locked because I submitted too many receipts from the same store and they would review my account again in January. I explained that I use several credit cards as I shop for my father as well as myself. I was still able to submit receipts and was careful not to submit too many from the same store. When I hadn't heard from them by February I figured the review was done and my account was back in good standing. I tried again to cash out the points and again wasn't able to. I contacted them several more times and got no response. After several emails my account was totally blocked and I was no longer able to submit receipts at all. I sent a few more emails to their customer service with no response. Finally, after the last email, I got a message saying that my message wasn't sent, that it was a permanent error and that the mailbox was full. I tried again hoping that the error was an error, and got the same response. Maybe they blocked my email? I have no way of getting in touch with them to try to work this situation out. That is why I'm asking for your help.
