Working at Fetch Rewards

Good Cause, Great Culture

As a sophomore in college, Wes Schroll noticed how high those grocery bills were piling and how he didn't believe it had to be that way. He couldn't sit around and do nothing while there were savings out there, somewhere, that weren't getting used just because they weren't on hand at that exact moment. So he put his nose to the grindstone and created Fetch Rewards.

Fetch Rewards is an app that allows you to save money every time you go to the store. After you finish shopping, you take a photo of your receipt with the Fetch app and the savings start pouring in. It is their philosophy that all people should have access to the same great chance to save money on the things that they need and the things that they love.
