Connecting Your Gmail Address
The following steps will guide you through the process of connecting your Gmail address to the eReceipt feature within the Fetch app. Once connected, you will be able to scan your Gmail address for eligible eReceipts and earn points on them in the same way you earn points on your physical receipts!
While these steps can be completed on a smartphone/tablet, it is much easier to follow them on a computer.
