For many of you, planning Christmas spending is a prelude to setting the next year’s budget.  And two of the biggest challenges are keeping track and making sense of the heap of paper receipts.

 Use Snapprize to solve these problems. The application is Shopitize's brainchild, aiming to make it easier to understand what we buy and to make sure the sale offers we receive are personalized based on things that are relevant. While the Shopitize system is still being created, for this Christmas season, the first step in the journey to savvy shopping is to make managing your receipts easier.

 So, no more sorting through paper receipts. Just snap a photo of your receipt, upload it from your computer, send it via an email or capture it using a special Android app.  Your receipts are then automatically stored for you on-line.

In true Christmas spirit, Shopitize is conducting a £25 weekly prize drawing and a £500 grand prize drawing before Christmas for uploading your receipts.

To participate in the competition you can either download the Snapprize app from the Android Marketplace or if you do not have an android smartphone, there are three new ways to enter:

• Submit receipts using a personal @Shopitize.me email address:
  
  • Register on the website
    
    • A personalized @shopitize.me email address is created during the sign-up process; (for existing accounts, the address is created automatically)o  This address enables you to snap receipts in whatever manner you choose and send by simply attaching to your personal @shopitize.me email address;
      
    • Please note that for security, the email must be sent from the same e-mail address which was used to register with Shopitize.
• Upload receipt photos from your computer:
  
  • Log into your account on the Shopitize site
    • Go to the ‘my account’ tab and click on the “Upload from PC” button
      
    • Select the receipt images which you want to submit and select “Submit”;
      
• Upload receipt photos from Evernote:
  
  • For users of the Evernote application, you can upload receipts that may be stored here.  This works as follows:
    
    • Log into their account on the Shopitize site
      
    • Go to the ‘my account’ tab and click on the “Upload receipts from Evernote” button
