UNICASH vs cashback & receipt-scanning apps
UNICASH rewards you for scanning eligible receipts with Points you redeem for gift cards (1,000 Points = $1), plus optional Membership benefits and member Bonus Draws. That differs from cash-back apps, which typically pay a percentage back on tracked online or linked-card purchases. UNICASH is receipt-based and gift-card-focused; cashback apps are purchase-tracking and cash-focused.
