If you’re worried about your data being sold, Amazon is going to let you make some money on it.
The Jeff Bezos-led company has unveiled a new program, known as the Amazon Shopper Panel, that lets users upload 10 receipts per month from purchases made at non-Amazon retailers. Users can upload the receipts on the Smartphone Panel app (available on iOS and Android) and they’ll get a reward when they hit the 10-receipt limit.
Receipts that are eligible to be uploaded include retailers such as “grocery stores, drug stores, department stores,” and entertainment outlets like “restaurants, movie theaters, and theme parks,” Amazon said on its website. Whole Foods, Amazon Go and other Amazon-owned or themed stores do not count.
