    I wish people would answer the questions proposed on this forum instead of running off at the mouth at what the big box stores do . Low wages etc. if you have never run a big business before you won't know the ins and out . Sometimes I wish they would shut down and then see how many people would be out of a job. Those same mom and pop stores charged high prices because they could and those around them had no choice . The media love to rile up the people . Nobody is forcing people to work there . Walmart I see is about the only one that hires special needs adults as greeters and sometimes cashiers. Many are long-term employees .

    Default Blue bird option

    As I understand it and have done it, you sign up for a Blue bird card by American Express. This is free. You have many options that this card can be used for besides the walmart savings catcher but that is all I intend to use it for at this time. Anyway, you sign up, they mail you the card, you register it and then you redeem your savings catcher money to your Bluebird account. The best thing is that until sometime in early 2015 they double the amount you save. Then you can use your Bluebird card for payment at Walmart for up to the amount that you have on it. Works for me!

    I checked out the app on my smartphone, and there was quite a range of reviews about it -- including glitches with being able to enter receipts (lots of ineligible receipts with no reason given) and glitches with being able to actually use the money. Those who were glitch-free loved it, but others were disappointed. I think receipts need to be entered within a week of purchase.

    Thanks so much for this thread. I had never heard of Bluebird or Savings Catcher but after reading this, I am registered for both. I shop at WM often since it is about the only thing within reasonable driving distance (about 12 miles.) I will love getting some money back -- and especially love that I can double it by having it put on a Bluebird card.

    I don't have a smart phone so I don't think it will work for me. I call my phone DUMB DUMB as in the movie Night at the Museum. It is just a standard flip phone.

    You can do it on a computer; you don't have to have a smart phone. Check out https://savingscatcher.walmart.com/

    LOL You are funny. I'm going to tell my DH this name for his flip phone which he refuses to give up or upgrade. He'll laugh, too.

    Woops, forgot to answer the original question. Yes we use the Walmart app, actually our DD who lives with us along with her two sons, does it for us. It does seem to be counting up. Every little be counts, I think and we'll just let her use the savings anyway. My DH does most of our grocery shopping and often goes to the nearby Walmart.
