Feck the begrudgers and fair play for trying something new and creating some badly needed jobs
tell me that in 2 years when closes down
James, at least it will have employed people for two years….
Heres one for the begrudgers “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”- Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943. So be positive people after all its summer time :-)
Funny thing is with the way super computing is going there might only be several computing clouds in years to come.
.. except no-one’s ever been able to verify that he actually said that. I’m sure there’s an actual quote from someone who actually said something that’s just as good to support a bit of positivity though.:)
I may sounds like an idiot here, but what is the benefit to shops to give people refunds? I don’t really get it.
Repeat business.
Not sure but it’s most likely a book-keeping exercise to do with end of quarter or month turnover. I bought a canon camera recently which offered €200 cash back. I filled out a form and posted them a copy of the receipt and received a cheque in the post. An app might have made it easier.
Good luck to them I say.
Loyalty cards track spending habits, any points/cashback is already priced in. It’s likely this app company will be worth a few bob if it catches on and is cross-retailer, once they’ve build up a decent database of users data to sell on.
Well at least they are paying you something for your data, which google+ and Facebook just record for free. Fair play
Phhhh apple only no android , ya d imagine that would be the first job
Yep, Samsung outselling apple in a big way now, about time android oit a look in.
You can borrow my iPhone to try get some cash back on your sh*tty Android if you like
Will be available for launch on all platforms
They know Android users will be scabby and send photos of Euroland receipts
I’ve applied, sure it’s worth a shot. They need positive, do good people in the company, not people that are negative. I wonder how many of the negative commenters on here are unemployed or work in dead end jobs..
Good luck, Oliver!
Thanks Colin, got an email back from them already so fingers crossed
these jobs won’t last, apps come and go
but the experience they get is invaluable, if the company doesn’t last (which it might)
And you feel so strong in your begrudging that you feel you need to repeat it four times in these comments? Is it something personal against the company or associates?
So I buy a product or service and once I can prove it I get a refund every time? Born yesterday I was not – these retailers will simply be upping their prices to build in any ‘refunds’ to be given back. Seriously why bother……
@stephen , ur grand thanks , got a free upgrade to iphone 4 and gave it to my elderly mum, she doesn’t mind being locked up with ios , ill keep my galaxy 3 , ta
What cfw are you using on your S3 ?
Sadly, I don’t see it working :/ I like to know I get discount there and then, as I shop, not by scanning receipt and waiting 24 hours to see if I get lucky…
Also, I don’t see businesses signing up for anything more than 10% discount (look at BIG players, like O2 deals), and that’s only the ones you wouldn’t use often (which is why they’re going for it).
30 ppl is way too many for start up as well.
Good luck though , I really hope I’m wrong and you guys make millions in no time!
Is it me? type in snapchat.ie on your browser
ended up in CarsIreland.ie…..???!!!
Hang on, is the email address wrong up there in the article?
.com well spotted
You’re right – there was a typo in the email address. It should be hire@snapcash.ie, not @snapchat.ie. Fixed it now – sorry for any confusion!
@Gavan
Cheers :D
Who the fcek is redthumbing must be the lack of vitamin d…..
30 staff is way too much for a startup. I fear they’re thinking too big and destined for failure.
A team of 3 could do this easily and do a mass market test.
If you want a crappy product, then yeah. Even three developers won’t give proper multiplatform support. Nevermind that developers rarely make good designers. You need people in marketing/advertising, in finance, in ops. What about the IT? What about team and product management? HR? I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting.

Cannot find this on the apple app store. Please help.
This must be a new thing for startups, announce 30-100 new jobs(internships) while publicising your new venture = Free publicity and a grant or 2
Not in the App Store ??
seriously,how does this business make money ? i’m out
There’re going to need to do allot of advertising to let people know about it and this is a good start. Good luck to them.
what’s the catch ? money for nothing,i don’t get it
I’d say most staff will be outbound telesales trying to gather business but my issue is this, I go to a shop, get receipt, send off a pic and then get cash back, next day I go back to shop ” don’t like it, wrong size ” can I have my full refund please. What’s stopping people doing that? Or people standing outside a shop and waiting for people to throw away their receipts or just finding them on the ground.
Should of had an app available to download now too but there is nothing available, think of all the potential downloads they have lost out on by not having a simple app, even with a countdown to launch clock.
Video won’t play!
Here is an idea. Why not get retailer in food stores to embrace the coupon culture like in the states. I know friends in the US who do extreme couponing. I for one would put in the time to collect ,sort and organise the coupons. Would encourage more consumer spending.
have your say
