Fetch turns till receipts into gift cards. Photograph the slip inside the app and points land in your account, whether it came from a supermarket, a petrol station or a restaurant, and once the balance is high enough you convert it into a card for a retailer you already use. It is one of the most downloaded rewards apps in its home market, and it costs nothing to join.

Two things earn points, and the split is what separates Fetch from a supermarket loyalty card. Every receipt pays a baseline of 25 points regardless of what you bought, so a slip for milk and bread is still worth submitting. On top of that, individual products from partner brands carry bonuses running from 250 points to 3,000 or more, which is where the real money sits and why the offers list is worth a glance before a shop rather than after it. Hundreds of brands run offers at any time.

Worth knowing the actual arithmetic. A normal household scanning everything lands somewhere between three and eight dollars a month, with committed shoppers reaching ten to fifteen. That is a modest and honest number, and it makes the app a background habit rather than an income. There is also a rule that catches people out: leave the account untouched for 90 days, with no receipts submitted and nothing redeemed, and the points you accumulated expire.

Registration confirms a phone number by SMS. A rewards app depends on you opening it, so afterwards that number carries new offer alerts, reminders that points are about to lapse and campaign messages from brands running promotions. Take the confirmation on an additional number and that stream keeps its own line. It reaches you inside your 5SIM order, while your points, receipts and rewards stay in Fetch.

How to buy a virtual phone number for Fetch

Choose Fetch in the service list on 5SIM. The countries stocked for it right now load next. Pick one and the operators available for that country and service pairing appear.

Each operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate side by side. Take all three together. A cheap line running low with a weak recent record often needs a second attempt, which costs more than the difference saved.

The number you buy waits in your active order. Enter it in the Fetch phone field, request the SMS, and the message lands in that order window. Orders stay active for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.

If nothing turns up, cancel the unused active order and your payment returns to the 5SIM balance at once. An unused order left to run out refunds by itself.
