If You're Still Confused:
What Counts as a “Small Business”?
Any local business that is independently owned counts as a small business.
How Much of the Receipt Needs to be in the Photo? I Don't Want the World to See My Info!
Not to worry! You just need the top of the receipt with the name of the business and the date to be eligible. Just make sure it’s a clear photo!
Do E-Receipts Count?
Yes! Simply take a screenshot of the email or webpage that contains your e-receipt, and submit it as a photo.
What Are The Terms and Conditions?
You can find all the official rules, terms and conditions here: Grasshopper Contest Rules.
