I personally love this Trunow App because it is absolutely Free to use and I have already cashed out several times. I run an Electrical Contracting Business and I use it to scan all my own and employees gas receipts. Its like getting Free money. Where I am located, they do not have any partner stores so I opt to get paid by PayPal.
